My Latin class was canceled because too few students could participate. I told magister that I wanted to attend, but talking was going to be an issue. There’s one lady who NEVER participates verbally. We have two folks finishing up some kind of teaching certification.

From Shannon’s “Making Men” link: As the father of two young boys—and the spiritual father of many more—I am increasingly concerned about the state of young men in our disintegrating society. Our culture is producing adult-sized boys and infantile men. Absent real challenge or adventure and without an established masculine community handing down the rites and responsibilities of maturity, boys… Read more »
I can see the arguments over the tuna melt and the “delightful” descriptions. BTW – no cheese on my fried bologna.

All the polls you see are full of bull. the steal is on and all the male republican’t politicians will be caught flat footed with their puds in one hand and a best of Heather Locklear magazine circa 1987 in the other. since 3/4 of the can’ts want the steal they’ll be more than willing to comply and accept it.… Read more »
I hear Trump was happy to hear about this event at Yankee Stadium. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of crowd he gets in the Bronx, and how it’ll be spun by the left. AOC has already decried Trump’s appearance in her ‘hood. https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1793633178172969099 If only I had a coffee cup to hold all those leftist tears….Ben Shapiro has… Read more »
My pain meds are on an 8 hour schedule. I start feeling pain around six hours. Sometimes I can gut it up and use ice packs for the duration. Then I’m like a junkie rushing for ibuprofen and acetaminophen. I can’t get to it fast enough. I think the doc was worried about stressing the liver, and that’s why the… Read more »
The good news is that since the joined@thehipVampyre parties have already destroyed the country from within a few republicant’s are expressing faux concern over the amount Chinese illegals coming in.
Go get em concern expressors. You’ll whup em now.
It’s a never ending doppelgänger clown show.
or maybe you prefer this one.
This is Politico’s writeup on the GOP collapsing in Texas. They are such ridiculous drama queens. When nearly two dozen Republican state lawmakers defied Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to oppose a centerpiece of his agenda — the creation of a school voucher program — they knew they’d face political payback. But Abbott’s vengeance has been ferocious, even by Texas standards.He helped… Read more »
So, I was looking up nations who remained neutral during World War II at History.com. They listed 14 countries including several micro-states in the Pacific. There was no mention of Argentina remaining neutral until a few months before the end of the war in 1945. WTH ? Argentina was a major supplier of beef, wheat, corn, other foods and commodities… Read more »
Shannon and I are direct descendants of this man. They just trashed his legacy.

A grammar school founded in Carlisle in 1773 served as the foundation of the new college. In the decade prior to laying the groundwork for Dickinson,… Read more »
Frankly blogs are bottom of the information barrel. I am like Shannon, I refuse to pay to play. I have a couple good friends that make their money on Patreon. They are very successful but their presentations are all videos and the communities are echo chambers. I do not care for echo chambers.
When it comes to politics and culture I find that there is less free content out there, which has led to a lot of duplication in the “Free Zone”. And many of the free sites now require registration, which I’m not willing to do – I get enough annoying junk in my email already. Some of the best writers are… Read more »
On October 8th in Tehran, one day after the Hamas massacre in Israel, the Iranian Shiite dictatorship tried to rally support for Hamas by displaying the Palestinian flag at a huge soccer game event at a packed stadium. This is why we need to support the people of Iran and help them overthrow these thugs. The crowd was screaming, “Take… Read more »
Re cataracts and eye drops. (Had a rough, painful night and an just now getting up- with a headache.) I remember being so thrilled for Mom after her cataract surgery. She could see! I spent the first post op night with her, and she handled the eye drops perfectly along with everything else. I went home. Two days later her… Read more »
RE: Squawk @ 8:24 AM Squawk’s comments are all true. However, the dynamics of the internet are quite different than the early days when sites like LST were ascendant.

Today, any website… Read more »
Texpat’s lament if this site is of no interest to anybody but mainly Tedtam and me then I am not seeing much future for it. Well we have till February of next year to decide what we want to do.

Well, I have not had a garbage pick up since Tuesday of last week. My days are Tuesday and Friday.

Dooood @ 7:00 AM I have several motivations for trying to keep this site alive, none of which are affirmation or recognition. If I were looking for either one, it certainly wouldn’t be here.

We are headed out to The Woodlands to Berkeley Eye Center to see about removing the cadillacs in our eyes. I’m hoping this place does not diagnose everyone who comes in the door with them but we both do have symptoms.
Can you say Fish Fry? 😉 We went fishing yesterday and didn’t have a lot of luck because the Bream weren’t biting, not even any bait-snatchers. We only caught 2 Bluegills on worms but I caught 2 Warmouth Perch on live Bream while trying to catch a Bass. Blue Gills don’t usually hit live bream but the Warmouth has a… Read more »
I’ve always been the creepy quiet one in the back row but I’ll try and do better. I can’t sing enough praise for all the hard work that is done to keep this place going for us, thank you.
Just my inflation devalued 2 cents on the subject of “audience”…
It’s been my experience that if you engage in any creative endeavor, you have to do it because you enjoy doing it. External affirmations of your work may well never come. Examine your personal motivation for doing what you do and proceed accordingly.
Have y’all heard of Fat Leonard? I’ve missed all of this. Judge dismisses felony convictions of 5 retired military officers in US Navy bribery case.

I just watched – for the first time – Out Of The Past (1947) starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, and Kirk Douglas.
“Out of the Past is considered one of the greatest of all films noir.”
I heartily agree. Highly recommended.
Mexican illegal manages to breach a military base.

Well, this is something: AI to AI conversation.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that everyone read the Coffee and Covid letter today.

This is a cool new aircraft design. Instead of movable surface for control they are experimenting with pulses of high pressure air through ports.
BTW – if y’all didn’t catch my link to Carl Higbie’s monologue yesterday, it is worth listening to. The dude is a dude, not a dudette, and he pulls no punches.
I do like a manly man that makes manly sense.
I saw in the comments for the Bronx video: “Any feds yet?”
/chuckle
Blast from the past.
Dang, it’s like the Trump line without end. Someone brought a big crane and is flying the Trump flag high up in the air.
You’ll never see this coverage on the MSM.
“The only thing higher than Hunter Biden is inflation.”
Great sign.
Walking with the Trumpsters lining up in the Bronx.

Making Men In The Blue Ridge Mountains
I grew up with not a single one of those sandwiches.
They have a strong whiff of being from north of the Mason Dixon line.
Well, here’s a topic that’s bound to generate some interest: lunches from the 1970’s.
I can see the arguments over the tuna melt and the “delightful” descriptions. BTW – no cheese on my fried bologna.
