That is a neat old picture and at first I thought it might be Norman Rockwell but it’s not exactly like one of his.

Texpat from last night;
Tom Suozzi D – 65,124 / 56%
Mazi Pilip R- 50,182 / 44%
62% of polls reporting
And
Long Island has gone hard right since 2020 when they flipped several blue seats to red.
It’s a shame she didn’t make it but she tried. Too bad the Republican that flipped that seat was Bat S#!T Crazy. On and about turning Long Island red didn’t the Republicans pick up 4 or 5 seats from there? It seems like the majority of their new representatives came from New York state.

You’re right. However this district is on the western end of Long Island right next to and including a good bit of Queens County. The rest is Nassau County which is more conservative than Queens. I don’t know if she was the right candidate for this district. It’s hard to tell. There will be another election for this seat in November so let’s see what happens.
-
Texpat since that district has Queens in it I’m surprised she did as well as she did. But they did elect a Republican last time. Oh and I’d forgot that the Republican, sorry I don’t remember his name, beat that slimy lizard that used to show up on TV lying about the Clinton Crime Family.

About to get out to conduct my first rosary class to a group of mommies to be at a pro life organization. I’ll told many of them are Spanish speaking, so I’ll have a translator.
I stayed up late printing off materials. So I’m dragging a bit this morning.
Y’all wish me luck. If this goes well it may become a monthly event. Nothing like leading folks to faith.
-
That means that I’ll miss mass and won’t be getting my ashes, unless I go tonight. It’s not a holy day of obligation, so if I’m tahrred tonight I may just skip. I may read some Scripture in lieu.
And even though I’m past the age of imposed fasting, I plan on doing it anyway.

Aren’t Texanadian and his Trophy Wife in Tulum, Mexico ?
The wife of a former Drug Enforcement Administration special agent was shot dead when she was apparently caught in the crossfire of a drug cartel dispute in a luxury Mexican resort on Sunday.
Prosecutors have stressed that the woman, named as Niko Honarbakhsh, 44, had no connection to the dispute, which also killed a known local drug dealer named Shawn Billary, 22, who was from Belize, but confirmed her husband, Karl Perman’s, connection to the DEA.
ABC News reports that Honarbaksh was living in Cancun in Mexico at the time of her death.
and,
One witness wrote on TripAdvisor that he was in the restaurant when Billary ran in, followed by another man around 6:40 pm Sunday.
‘Some tourist on vacation with her 2 dogs, mere feet away from us was hit by some of the stray bullets and was killed,’ the man wrote.
He added that Billary was shot once in the back, which slowed him, prompting the gunman to walk over to him and open fire several more times, killing him.
The witness was scathing in his criticism of hotel staff.
‘Security at the Mia had no clue what was going on nor did they check on the 2 people shot. It was other beach guests that did.’

Muslim alien thugs gang rape a 13 year old girl in a park in Sicily and the nation of Italy is outraged and furious.
What does CNN report ?
CNN worries that Muslim migrant gang rape in Italy will bolster ‘far right’
These people have no conscience, no shame. They are disgusting.
Italy has been shaken by the alleged gang rape of a 13-year-old girl in front of her boyfriend in a public park in the Sicilian city of Catania, the latest in a string of shocking sexual attacks in the country.
The case is reminiscent of two alleged gang rapes last summer. A group of seven men and teenage boys between the ages of 15 and 18 are currently on trial for the alleged rape of a 19-year-old girl in Palermo in August.
Weeks later nine young men were arrested and charged with allegedly raping two cousins aged 10 and 12 near Naples and broadcasting the attack live on social media. They, too, are facing trial.
Capital punishment is perfectly acceptable to me for these animals.
It’s a sick, deranged cult…
In France, a Muslim quoted Qur’an while raping his victim. A survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK has said that her rapists would quote the Qur’an to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Thus it came as no surprise when Muslim migrants in France raped a girl and videoed the rape while praising Allah and invoking the Qur’an. In India, a Muslim gave a Qur’an and a prayer rug to the woman he was holding captive and repeatedly raping. And the victim of an Islamic State jihadi rapist recalled: “He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God…He said that raping me is his prayer to God.”

Remember the collapsed bridge designed for DEI that killed six people at Florida International University ? We covered the story here in detail in 2018.
But, hey, the company responsible changed their name and here we go…
A politically connected construction company that was partly responsible for the fatal Florida International University bridge collapse in 2018 has won yet another lucrative contract courtesy of a South Florida county.
On February 6, Broward County commissioners voted unanimously to ratify a $29 million contract with Magnum Construction Management (MCM), formerly known as Munilla Construction Management, for improvements at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport’s baggage-processing area.
The project entails Magnum overseeing multiple subcontractors for demolition, concrete installation, electrical, plumbing, and air-conditioning work at the airport. The contract includes a $24.7 million base price and $4.3 million in allowances.
Munilla Construction was the main construction-management firm behind the buildout of the 950-ton pedestrian bridge at Florida International University that collapsed in March 2018, killing a worker and five people in vehicles crushed on the street below.

RE: New York 3rd District Special Election
Total vote turnout in 2020 presidential election: 370,319
Total vote turnout in 2022, an off-year election: 271,228. ( George Santos won)
Total vote turnout in 2024 special election: 169,567
It was about turnout and a foot of heavy snow.

It was about turnout and a foot of heavy snow.
Wow! There is quite a difference in numbers so we may have a chance in November?

BTW; Lil’ Bit says Good Morning. The girl is getting a little grey.

TW and I are in Tulum, the shooting took place a few miles away. This is first I have heard of it. There is a heavy police presence here, federal, provincial, municipal. They mostly drive around with what I assume are M-16’s, no foot patrols that I have seen.
Wrong place at wrong time.

It always makes me nervous when the media start naming and photographing members of our military while they are fighting somewhere. I think the US military is being naive or simply dumb about this.
In these days of internet doxxing, how safe are this captain’s family or the loved ones of the colonel back in the States ? It’s fairly easy these days to track most people down with a few clues.
The flashing red and green lights on the tips of their wings soon disappear somewhere over the eastern Mediterranean.
Home to 2,400 US Marines and sailors, this gigantic floating military base filled with armoured vehicles, jets and helicopters usually deploys at speed to transport troops on to land.
But when Yemen’s Houthis began firing missiles and flying drones into commercial ships in the Red Sea, the crew of the USS Bataan found themselves having to adapt to air combat, sending jets out to try and shoot them down.
“I never imagined I was going to be doing this when we launched,” says lead pilot Capt Earl Ehrhart.

On the recomendation of this site and others TW and I watched Reacher which was pretty good. We are now watching The Chosen that is also good. Thanks

The witness was scathing in his criticism of hotel staff.
‘Security at the Mia had no clue what was going on nor did they check on the 2 people shot. It was other beach guests that did.’
The hotel staff is most likely painfully aware of where their paychecks come from.

A couple waiters/busboys are supposed to know what to do and/or defend the place when a gunfight comes through the door?
-
Chilly Good Morning, gang!
C’mon, texanadian!! — Aren’t there nice (i.e. SAFE!) vacation spots at various places in the US?
Although I guess after a couple years of wide-open borders and no controls, our safe places may not be any better than South of the border…

Republicant’s lost in Long Island because they’re losers.
the totalitariancrats have the ballot harvesting game down while the Wiley coyote republicant’s are still running around looking for an ACME postage stamp and pretending there will be no voter fraud in 2024.
they expelled Santos to show how virtuous they are while all the virtuous ones continue to plunder the country and welcome the illegal alien invasion and all the destruction it causes. They too are all onboard with the replacement of American citizens.
had they kept santos they wouldn’t have had to vote to impeach that slithering sea snake mayorkas twice.
if the Kentucky swamp turtle-NY Mayo Stain Ukraine money laundering bill comes to a vote in the house it will pass with plenty of republicant’s voting for it even though they know Ukraine has no chance of winning the war.
I’d wager 95% of that money never gets to where it’s supposed to go in the first place. That’s why there’s no audit trail.
All they care about is getting their fangs watered with more blood money and funding another foreign war for 20 to 30 years and then have nothing to show for it after the war is over.
much like Afghanistan.
maybe it’s time for ronna Delecto to order some more flowers and place them on the RNC headstone.
-
You think America’s tail-between-its-legs departure from Afghanistan was bad? Something even worse is coming in the Pacific, albeit more quietly.
U.S. defenses in the Asia-Pacific center on a defense line running from Japan to Philippines to Taiwan and on to Borneo. The so-called First Island Chain.
Try defending against China along the first island chain without a secure “rear area” in the Central Pacific. And suppose it’s the Chinese in the rearAmerican control of the Central Pacific depends on three treaties – known as Compacts of Free Association (COFA) – with three nations: Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and Republic of Marshall Islands. These nations and their huge maritime territory comprise most of an “east-west corridor” from Hawaii to the western edge of the Pacific that is essential for U.S. control and military operations in the region.
The White House claims they can’t find the money to renew these agreements.
You would think the CCP is running the Biden administration.

Multimillion dollar mansions keep sliding off the cliffs and conservatives say…
Los Angeles Times survey results released Tuesday found that 48% of Republicans polled believe California is “not really American.”
More than 1,000 adults were surveyed by the Canadian firm Leger, and Executive Vice President Christian Bourque noted that “if you are a more conservative American, you basically do not like California.”
“Of course, we all expected some of that, but the differences are actually quite striking,” he added.
Two-thirds of Republicans also said the state’s impact on the country has been a net negative, reflecting large-scale criticism of California and liberal policies at large by conservative politicians and media.

New York Times Stunned After 11 Out of 13 Independent Focus Group Voters Choose Trump Over Bide
So the Times spoke at length with 13 undecided, independent voters about the two leading candidates and the issues most important to them. The voters, ranging from 22-64 years old, were most concerned about the state of the economy, with the majority citing the rising costs of groceries and their other bills. Of the 13, 12 said they would base their vote on the issue, with 11 saying they were leaning toward Trump in November.

Did you look at the individual county maps on the pipeline site ? There is an aerial and topographical map for each county. Very cool.
-
Yes, I did.
If that is the final route then it won’t be coming through step-son’s property. This route is closer to Cat Spring.
-
The guest quoted did specifically say security staff, not restaurant employees.
True, but when I think “hotel security” I think more of someone who gets called when dudes in the pool get too rowdy or keeping the street urchins and pickpockets out. I don’t think of dealing with a roving gunfight or a cartel whacking some dude in the restaurant.

THe Gulf Stream is going to collapse, thus plunging Europe into a deep freeze. Details for this ludicrous BS can be found here.

My understanding is that most of the resorts in Mexico (especially the all-inclusive deals) are essentially money laundering operations for the cartels. We stayed in one this past July. I was less nervous about staying there than I would have been had the Mexican govt. been responsible for my safety there; similar to the way I trusted mafia run casinos more so than not. In general, paying guests getting hurt is bad for business and draws undue attention where they obviously don’t want it. So yeah, the “hotel staff” knows where their paychecks come from and they know when they should and should not get involved in things.

Nasty.
WASHINGTON—The Pentagon killed a Kataib Hezbollah leader in downtown Baghdad last week using using a weapon that employs six long blades to shred its target and minimize civilian casualties, defense officials said.
The modified Hellfire missile, which inside the military is referred to colloquially as “the flying Ginsu,” recalling the popular knives sold on TV infomercials in the 1970s, was used to target Abu Baqr al-Saadi, the leader of Kataib Hezbollah in Syria. The U.S. use of the Ginsu in the Baghdad strike hasn’t been previously disclosed.

It’s a beautiful day here even though it started out on the cool side. 66 now up from 34 at daylight. I’ve been out tying up loose ends so we can jump on the Company Plane in the morning and head out to Kalifornia to visit with the boy and family. Rumor has it we’re taking the granddaughters to Disneyland on Friday, that ought to be a hoot.

I’m going to go waaaaay out on a limb and state that the system targets shooters and does not distinguish the complexion of said shooter. The above ‘critics’ need to be horse-whipped or whipped with a dead horse.

I really hope and pray the Speaker Johnson hangs tough and kills this abomination on arrival.
At this stage of the game, I am going to declare that McConnell is a greater danger to our republic than Joe “The Dip$#!t” Biden. A treasonous bastige McConnell is.

Bones, I think you have a lot of company out on that limb in #27… Just like there may be some clustering of the shots/shooters being spotted…

Just got in from my rosary class/presentation and mass. Got myself ashed. I meant to post this picture yesterday. These are the onions I harvested from my yard, from the 4×8 plot that is now home to my asparagus plants. Imagine a whole yard full of these things and you can see why we all tear up during mowing season.
But they were delicious in our dinner last night.
-
Hubby just finished giving the yard a haircut. I asked how he handled the onion odor, whereupon he gave a deep breath and said ‘It’s pretty strong back there. What I really need are goggles!” He and I agreed that the bug population is getting off to a rousing start this year.

How did your whole yard, and you have a big one, become an onion patch ?

1 dead, 10-15 injured in Kansas City shooting near KC Chiefs Super Bowl parade, police say
-
Texpat: It started with some sand we had brought in many years ago. I think. That’s where I first noticed it. Over the years, they spread. These onions are common in our neighborhood; I’ve seen other yards and ditches where they are growing as well.

Why are Drake, 50 Cent and Chris Brown registered to vote at the same Katy house?
Recording artists Drake, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Trey Songz and The Game are all registered to vote at the same beige, $300,000 house in a modest new development in Katy.
Nobody was more perplexed than the homeowners, who said they were unaware of the celebrities’ registrations. Neighbors said they had not seen any of the Grammy-nominated artists grilling outside, mowing the lawn or washing their cars.
It wasn’t a new reality TV show, but it appears to have been a prank
TV said the were registered with birthdates only no identification. We have see some messed up elections this years is going to be messed up bad.

Here is a MSN link to the ridiculous Houston Chronicle article Squawk linked in #34.
While Texas has strict voter ID laws, it also must comply with the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002, or HAVA, which provides an option for eligible voters who don’t have a driver’s license or a Social Security number. That could include U.S. citizens who were born outside of the United States and never applied for a Social Security number.
HAVA, the federal law that allows registration without either form of ID, also includes measures to prevent it from being abused.
A voter who registered by mail is required to show ID the first time they vote, which would prevent someone who falsely registered as Drake from casting a ballot – even in a state that doesn’t have strict voter ID laws like Texas.
“The first time they went to go vote, they’d have to show something, like a utility bill showing that Drake pays the utility bills at that address,” said Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the voting rights program at the Brennan Center for Justice. “And they wouldn’t be able to do that.”
Additionally, election officials are required to conduct routine voter roll maintenance. If a false registration is suspected, officials can send out mailers to the address listed and remove the registration if the voter does not vote in two federal cycles or respond to the confirmation notice.
Let’s stop and analyze this.
…eligible voters who don’t have a driver’s license or a Social Security number. That could include U.S. citizens who were born outside of the United States and never applied for a Social Security number.
I call bulls**t on this. Exactly, how many times does anyone honestly believe this happens ?
A voter who registered by mail is required to show ID the first time they vote, which would prevent someone who falsely registered as Drake from casting a ballot…
Like a clinically diagnosed schizophrenic, insane transgendered whack job who attempts mass murder in a church ? Oh yeah, I wonder who the morons were that allowed this one to register to vote in Harris and Montgomery counties.
The first time they went to go vote, they’d have to show something, like a utility bill showing that Drake pays the utility bills at that address…
Does anybody here think a guy who goes by “Drake” whose legal name is Aubrey Drake Graham and whose legal residence is in a 35,000 square foot monstrosity mansion in Ontario, Canada couldn’t walk into a polling site near Lyons and Jensen in the Fifth Ward and not be able to cast a vote ? How about some guy who just claims to be “Drake” ?
Additionally, election officials are required to conduct routine voter roll maintenance.
Stop, I’m dying laughing here.
Oh, and the biggest laugh is who this little reporter chose to call for confirmation and corroboration.
…said Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the voting rights program at the Brennan Center for Justice.
Yeah, a staggering leftwing hack institute dedicated to the destruction of the Republic.

A sane nation would eliminate all mail in voting except for military service men and women overseas.
But since the USA has the easiest election laws that are designed to allow rampant fraud no election will ever be on the level again.a North Dakota penguin just ruled ballots can be counted up to 13 days after the election.
Most all of the kangarooed penguins are in on election fraud and like it.the 2024 fraud is going to be astronomical as the party ruled by the Kentucky swamp turtle and Texas Cornholed one will pull it’s head into its shell and say I know notheeng, I see notheeng, I hear notheeng but I do hear more blood money Ukraine.

#36 Shannon – that’s what I call “machine-gun sneezing” which took me thru a barbed wire fence at Medina Lake one afternoon because, after the 5th one in a “burst,” I found myself (and my little Nissan truck) in the middle of a barbed wire fence… Thanx for the memories LOL
-
I’ve finally reached the end of my busy day. Never got to the garden, so that’s tomorrow. And bookkeeping. I need to get some real quality time with my to-do list. While dinner was cooking I started on today’s rosary and chaplet; just finished those and repairing two broken rosaries. So now I feel like I can take a breather.
I do need to get some Latin in. I keep trying to get to it and I keep getting distracted. It only takes a few days to get real rusty.

Bsue – your story about the car and the barbed wire fence gave me a flashback to my college days and the Sports Car Clubs “Lime Runs”. Also affectionately known as “Crime Runs”.
The club would plan a party at a members house, and another member would be the run master. He and his buds would buy a bag of lime and put some into baggies. A route would be planned out starting from Zachry Engineering Building’s parking lot, run through the boonies, and end up at the party house. The first one to the end of the run would be the “winner”. We’d all meet up at the parking lot and each car and occupants would be sent out at two minute intervals, with a stapled shut “emergency packet” that could be opened if the driver gave up. It contained the final destination and disqualified that car from the race. (It was very bad bull when we figured out that one guy cheated – pried the packet open, peeked, and then replaced the staple very carefully. Remember – a lot of these guys were engineers!) Each car was told to go to such and such intersection and turn right. That’s it.
The run master, however, had taken that afternoon to run his route. Between 1/8 and 1/4 mile after a turn he’d drop a lime baggie out of the car window while moving. The bag would (usually) splatter open and leave a streak of white on the road that could be easily seen in headlights. The idea was to figure out the route to the party by finding those white streaks. If a driver went too far down a road without finding the lime, he knew to turn around and try a different road from the last intersection.
But there’d be another car right behind him. That car had to decide whether the oncoming car was faking him out (which happened) and would reverse direction once he reversed direction. Or maybe the oncoming car WAS turning around because it was a wrong turn. Sometimes there would be as many as three cars all approaching the same intersection, and quick decisions had to be made as to turns, brakes, and seat belts/holding on tightly. I remember being in the back seat of one car, being backed up over a bridge. I know of one car that rolled off a gravel road. But 99.9% of the time, everyone arrived safe and sound. I can’t remember if anyone ever got a ticket.
Remember – this was done mostly on dark country roads, or through small towns. The drivers were experienced in autocross racing (the club ran an event every year). Most of the cars were souped up or sports cars that didn’t need any boosting of engine power. There was much speeding and laughing, since we were all young and immortal.
Good memories.
We did get a good laugh one year. The run master had accidentally dropped a baggie on the main drive near the Kampus Kops, and they were analyzing the “white powder” very seriously.

Heard rand Paul say that the Kentucky Swamp Turtle and the NY Mayo Stain are leaving for Kiev on Friday to pop a champagne cork with zeelensky over their 61 billion blood money deal.
they don’t care how many more Ukrainians die just like they don’t care how many Americans die because of the illegal alien invasion.
as long as their fangs get soaked in blood money then they’re happy.
it must also mean the house will cave on the bill because many republican’t fang suckers want that blood money as well.it’s a Vampyre frenzy in the capital city of the undead, bloodsoakington, D.rac C.orpuslecula.
