Alina Kabaeva, Retired Russian Gymnast, Russian Politician
Ms. Kabaeva may or may not be married to Vladimir Putin. Reports indicate he sired her three children. She reportedly spends most of her time at a nice place in Switzerland.
Perhaps Tucker asked him about her.
I think $77 for a license plate is BS.
Hey BSue.
My stepdaughter was singing the praises of Voltaren recently.
Here’s my favorite performance of one of my very favorite songs. Willie Nelson’s guitar playing alone deserves great recognition.
Japan…40 years ago.
The parts guy story was a joke I saw on an equipment mechanics FB group I’m on. It’s funny because you can see it happening. It was common to go to the parts store to pick up parts for a forklift or whatever that used some automative part like a start solenoid or electric fuel pum, of course the guy… Read more »

Steve McMichael’s wife attended the gathering to accept his award. Showing a little leg.
🙂
When Skittles are freeze dried, most of them split their shells along a midline and the white insides puff out. Some of them don’t, though, and little spindle of white stuff comes out of a hole and falls/curves over. I’m calling them “skittle worms”. Because “skittle penis” just sounds rude. For someone on a keto diet, smelling all of that… Read more »
I remember back when auto parts-house guys were old and knew their stuff. Knew when their catalogs were wrong. Knew about esoteric mid-year changes.
Finally slowed down enough to pop back in. The legs are tahrred, and the back ain’t fer b’hind. I’m about to pull out my first batch of candy. I’m setting up some for the car club’s trip, and I’ll probably set some aside for Hubby and Handsome Son, who’ll be here on Sunday. My lender/investor friend called me this morning… Read more »
If it was one of those he wasn’t infantilized.
He was baked.
Shannon @ 6:06 PM I remember Steve McMichael. On April 23, 2021, McMichael announced that he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In the announcement, he also confirmed that he would be retiring from making public appearances going forward. The announcement came six months after one of McMichael’s contemporaries in the NFL, former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle and broadcaster… Read more »
36 GJT The parts guy at Oreilly’s said he needs a cereal break before he could look up parts for my car. I have been warning you folks about the infantilization of America for years and now it has come about at the lowly parts counter of O’Reilly’s Auto Parts. Did he ask for Cap’n Crunch or Lucky Charms ?… Read more »
When I worked with the drilling rig/well servicing rig manufacturer we supplied the drilling rig to drill nuclear test wells in Nevada in the trust but verify(?) program with Russia. I talked to some of the guys at an oil show that went on those tests, both here and in Russia. They said when they went over there the Russian… Read more »
#31 Texpat that’s a pretty good story. and it’s eerie to think that the second quake hit on the anniversary of the first one.
Oh and I 😀 at this;

Steve McMichael (Houston native, raised in Freer, TX) was a Longhorn standout in the late ‘70s. He was announced as an NFL Hall Of Fame honoree last night. Played mostly for the Bears. Now fighting ALS.
So Squawk wins the prize for best comment (#13) of the day with a link to Vince Vance and the Valiants.
If you haven’t been to one of their appearances in Southeast Texas over the years, then you’re just a youngster who is now and forever Kulturally Deprived.
30 Bonecrusher I’ve heard of that gas well. If truth were told, there were a number of bad blowouts in the Soviet Union and some burned for years because, despite offers of help from the USA, they refused any outside assistance. I heard these stories from Red Adair and Boots & Coots people. They were ready to go, but the… Read more »
28 Super Dave It’s funny you bring that up. On this day, February 9th, 1971, Los Angeles was hit with the Sylmar Earthquake that collapsed buildings, destroyed multiple hospitals and crumbled dams, bridges and freeways. It was devastating and miraculous only 64 people were killed in a region where millions lived. I arrived nine months later in November of 1971… Read more »
This is a very cool youtube short.
I think every football fan would find interesting even if you’re an NFL-hater these days. i didn’t leave the Nfl. the Nflblmdeilbgqrstlmnop left me. where have you gone Roger Staubach Captain America they once called you in seventy-two. nevertheless my prediction for the wokester bowl is the referees will win by making just enough bad calls to help the Taylor… Read more »
Magnitude-4.6 earthquake northwest of Malibu shakes parts of Southern California.
The boy just texted me and said it was pretty bumpy, knocked stuff off his office wall and desk. The epicenter was 7 miles south of Thousand Oaks where his office is.
#26 Texpat, I did not know that but that’s just another reason to like the small college up the road.
Don’t know much about history Don’t know much biology Don’t know much about science book Don’t know much about the French I took But I do know that there ain’t no DEI at Troy University Auburn University and the University of Alabama reported DEI budgets of $3 million each, according to AL.com. The University of Alabama enrolled 4,344 blacks in… Read more »
For some comic relief go to youtube and search for SNL celebrity jeopardy. the Sean Connery ones are the best.
This information has been known for decades. It has been exposed on a daily basis by investigative websites like MEMRI and CAMERA, among others. It has been presented to the US State Department over and over and yet they continue to pretend it doesn’t exist. President Donald Trump and his State Department were the only ones to stand up and… Read more »
Hog Chain, Mississippi. Well that made the story interesting no matter what else was said. It does make you wonder how the community got it’s name. And NO Eufaula didn’t get it’s name from the old Indian Chief warning the White Man to not back up and fall off the cliff into the Chattahoochee. Oh and ifin’ you didn’t know… Read more »
#19 Tedtam – I am soooo jealous… my new normal is reclined with leg elevated even further and an icepack in the bend of my knee… but at least I DO have an appointment with the ortho doc that saved my sis-in-love’s foot after a motorcycle accident – not for 2 more weeks, but she assures me he’s worth the… Read more »
Lance Alworth, one of my childhood heroes, was on that magical Sid Gillman San Diego Chargers team in the early AFL. Alworth was one of the greatest receivers in football history and a truly phenomenal athlete. After I was devastated to learn I couldn’t grow up to be a wide receiver for the UT Longhorns as a lifelong career, I… Read more »
In 2011, Tablet Magazine’s published a history of the the creation of the AFL, its merger into the NFL and all the innovations that followed. Tablet is republishing this article for the 100th anniversary of the NFL. There is a lot fascinating historical information I think every football fan would find interesting even if you’re an NFL-hater these days. The… Read more »
Busy, busy this morning. Popping in so y’all know I’m still vertical.
Good morning, HamBoneDogs! I need to Get Crackin’ and head to Kroger. When I’m down to 2 cans of cat food in the house, I am amazed how little attention I’ve been paying lately…
Edward N. Luttwak has been an advisor to the US government for a long time. I don’t think they listen to him much. They should since he’s one of the smartest warfare scholars alive. The overwhelming pessimism of all these television generals going on about how Israel was ill-equipped and unprepared to fight an enemy in urban street warfare struck… Read more »
Did y’all know that this is a leap year? 😀
The Houston Texans had players named both offensive rookie of the year and defensive rookie of the year, CJ Stroud and Will Anderson Jr. Head coach DeMeco Ryans just barely got beat out for Coach of the year. Andre Johnson was voted into the Hall of Fame.
NFL announcer Joe Buck predicts bad story will come out of Super Bowl LVIII: ‘It won’t stay in Vegas’
Buck says he has ‘no desire’ to be in Las Vegas this week
Buck is worried that there will be some inappropriate giant sexual thing. I am more worried about what I alluded to a few days ago.
I love headlines like this. America’s B-1 bomber teaches Iran a firepower lesson Friday’s strikes were just a taste of what the B-1s can unleash On Friday, strikes by U.S. Air Force B-1 bombers demolished 85 aimpoints at four Iran proxy militia target areas in Syria and three in Iraq. And they did it launching from Texas. Problem is they… Read more »
Next week we’re flying out to Kalifornia to see the Boy and family and I decided I needed a new suitcase instead of the old hand-me-down soft sided one that I use when I fly. Wife researched it and we decided that we may as well get a larger one than the hard-sided nesting set that my wife has. When… Read more »

Of course, you’re right, but I was speaking of commodities rather than monetary policy.
The major fundamentals driving inflation here are fuel, energy costs and food. Cheaper Chinese goods in Walmart and Target won’t be making a significant dent in domestic inflation. I would say the major driver is the bazillion bucks pumped into economy because of Kung-flu. It shows most in goods that are absolute necessities the most. Increasing fuel/energy costs drives the… Read more »
This makes a lot more sense from Bloomberg. Chinese investors dumping commercial real estate in major urban markets will help inflation some in the US, but it could very well hasten the real estate crisis I’ve been predicting by depressing rental rates even further. (Bloomberg) — Chinese investors and their creditors are putting up “For Sale” signs on real estate… Read more »
This is from Financial Times and I take everything they say with a dose of skepticism. Global investors expect falling prices in China to push down inflation rates worldwide this year, as excess capacity in its slowing economy prompts Chinese exporters to cut prices on goods they sell abroad. Prices of Chinese exports have been falling at their fastest rate… Read more »
I knew there was Biden pressure on the auto industry about electric vehicles, but I now realize it’s driven directly down to the dealership level in ways I wasn’t thinking about. It is anti-capitalistic and un-American to distort a free market this way. The election can’t come soon enough. Oh, and by the way, Buick is dead. It just doesn’t… Read more »
We were discussing Versa Tube structures the other day and when I think about them, I think of this.
There are a lot of these used as carports and also RV storage. They’re great for RV’s since they can be any size like 10′ X 40′ X 20′ H with or without sides or sides part of the way.
My wife just saw a Gray Fox out by the tractor shed. He heard her beating around in the bathroom and looked toward the house and then ambled off down the trail and crossed the road. We see them occasionally but I have them on my game camera out back a lot. It’s set up in the edge of the… Read more »
I’ve alwasy know that Micheal Steele is a weasel but I juts saw him on PMSNBC Butt Smouching them, discussing the FACT that Donald Trump is in total control of the Republican party.

I heard about the Hur report that declined to prosecute Joe “The Dip$#!t” Biden because he would come across to a jury as an elderly, well meaning man who is quite forgetful. A talking head stated that he is either 25thed or he is prosecuted, you can’t have it both ways. It is obvious to any and all who care… Read more »
Somehow I don’t think Tucker would have asked Vlady Poot Poot about his relationship with that lovely young lady. He’s much smarter than that.
As usual I missed it but I’ll go back and check out the Tucker Putin interview.
Well it’s Friday! Again.
