What a day. We had a great time on the beach and later walked down to Pineapple Willy’s for super. We walked back along the beach just after the sunset. We watched it from the restaurant pier but couldn’t get a picture because of the screens to filter out the hot sun. When we got back to the house the Boy snapped a pretty good shot of the Crescent Moon rising in the west just after sunset. Not bad for a cell phone. 😉
We had an inch of rain yesterday and now we are predicted to get 4 inches over the next 72 hours. There is almost no way I’m going to escape this without water in the basement.
RE: Google search monopoly Google got b**ch slapped harshly by a judge regarding its monopolistic behavior. Further hearings are scheduled to discuss remedies, but Mr. C. anticipates an appeals process that could take years to complete. One wonders. Had Google not abandoned its original motto of “Don’t Be Evil,” might it have avoided the DOJ’s crosshairs? Once again, we see the example of a big corporation that decides to dabble in politics and then discovers what happens next. (Ahem, Disney.)As a libertarian-minded conservative, I generally object to government meddling in markets. But there is a place for anti-trust laws, and… Read more »
Amid the ME war stories, remember this: Two weeks ago, Secretary of State and rabid neocon Anthony Blinken announced Iran was only two weeks away from getting nukes. Remember that.Israel is a tiny country the size of New Jersey, surrounded by enemies sworn to its destruction. Of them all, Israel views Iran as the biggest single threat, mostly because Iranian leaders keep promising to wipe Israel off the map, and funding “resistance” groups like Hezbollah that constantly launch rockets into Israel. Ben-Mier explained two critical dynamics: (1) Israel needs the United States to win a war with Iran, and (2) Israel must prevent… Read more »
The “twenty foot ladder” thing was the mantra of that liberal lawyer in the LST days that everyone had so much respect for. I couldn’t stand his snarky azz.
After some discussion of Israel methodically eliminating the higher ups among their enemies and the rising ire of Iran, he ends with this:
Until recently, General Shoigu, who now heads Russia’s Security Council, was the top officer in charge of Russia’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine. Yesterday he met with the mullahs in Iran. Is it to be a new proxy war for Mr. Shoigu?
Re: Markets, Media, and avoiding mentioning the pending war … Among other things, a broad Middle East war would shut off the oil flow, causing (more) worldwide inflation, hobbling supply chains, and generally wreaking havoc on global business and finance.Markets are often said to have their own intelligence, smarter than any A.I. Through crowdsourcing, they aggregate millions of individual data points and self-interested decisions, which are all boiled down into handy, easy-to-understand share prices.I hate to sound like I mistrust everything, but I wonder to what extent yesterday’s market recovery, such as it was, reflected undisclosed government buying to prop up prices, rather than… Read more »
I have time for the C&C before I get on the treadmill: Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! Today’s roundup includes: markets recover, slightly, while media keeps ignoring the nuclear rocket on the stock market trading floor; Israel does it again, despite all the U.S. claims we are doing ‘everything possible’ to avoid escalation; headlines show pattern of escalation rather than diplomacy; we connect some nuclear dots to guess why we seem Hell-bent on war with Iran; more evidence of media malfeasance; great but buried story links cell towers to bovine deaths and lameness; and a federal court finally drops the… Read more »
Finally back after my post-birthversary for Hubby. Next time, I’m getting the ribeye instead of the sirloin. I usually get the ribeye at our steak house but thought I’d try a different cut today. Nah. Ribeye is better.
I dropped off the freeze dried Skittles ™ to my lender friend this morning. His kids were so cute on the phone. They told their daddy that they wanted “the nice lady” to make some more for them.
This is the Biden-Harris Administration’s handpicked Economic Advisors Chair, Jared Bernstein, struggling to understand basic economics and the consequences of uncontrolled money printing.
Back home after lunch dining out after a late morning routine Dr.appointment.
Now trying to catch up on what’s happening in River City amongst the obviously Dizzy Dems. Ya need a program to keep track of all of them. They are Dizzy, and it is disgustingly easy to see too many of the Pressers are scrambling to cover that up at all costs. If we want to know what is really going on, stick with Hambone’s commentary and other conservative commentaries available elsewhere.
Hamsters know where to find things of great interest, for which we are grateful. 🙂
In November 2005, Walz reached out to his former battalion as it was preparing for war. He offered to hold a fundraiser for their bus trip home over Christmas. “The same Soldiers he had abandoned just months before, trying to buy their votes,” Behrends and Herr wrote.These are not the only two to call out Walz’s service. According to Behrends and Herr, Tom Hagen, an Iraq war veteran, wrote a letter to the Winona Daily News calling Walz’s retirement “disturbing”.“But even more disturbing is the fact that Walz quickly retired after learning that his unit —southern Minnesota’s 1-125 FA Battalion… Read more »
Walz claimed that Trump is “not going to do anything” about the disaster on the southern border that has been unleashed by the Biden-Harris Administration.
I’m wondering when this whole Feed Our Future scandal will blow up in Walz’s face. It sounds to me like this judge was fed a lot of lies throughout this corrupt episode. All this happened on Walz’s watch by people he appointed. There are many ways to steal from a $250 million scam. FOX 9) – In a rare public rebuke, a Ramsey County judge on Friday criticized Minnesota Gov.

I always find it amusing when even scientists become complacent and assume they know everything….and then, surprise, surprise, as Jim Nabors would say. Our Creator runs a very orderly, synchronized tight ship. In particular, it is challenging what we thought we knew about the early evolution of galaxies. and, The CEERS (Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science) survey, led by Prof Steven Finkelstein of the University of Texas at Austin, used JWST’s NIRCam instrument to look back as far as the epoch of reionisation, just after the so-called dark ages of cosmic evolution, to study the structure of galaxies in the very early… Read more »
The Washington, D.C.,-based organization, led by former Trump administration senior advisor Stephen Miller, filed the lawsuit against Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer on Tuesday, according to court documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The lawsuit comes after AFL demanded Richer’s office to remove foreign nationals from the county’s voter rolls — demands that Richer rebuffed.
Why would a elections official outright refuse to remove illegal aliens from registered voter rolls ?
If you go to a shoreside hospital and the renowned Texas Medical Center (40 miles from Galveston Bay) with all the symptoms this man had and nobody but the man’s daughter even bothers to think of vibrio infection…this is almost criminal. A dozen people have died from this already and not a single medical personnel thinks of it. I honestly don’t know how I survived the many years of swimming, surfing and wading in the Gulf of Mexico. Once as a teenager, on a dare, I went almost to the end of a jetty, slid off because of the algae… Read more »
The Kameleon picks Gov. Tim Walls (Minn) as her running mate. I guess picking a Jew would cost Minnesota and they can’t afford to lose that state. I hope and pray that sanity prevails amongst We The People and vote out the commie, civilizational hating Ds out of office up and down the ballot.
This desperate little man is pathetic. He has a full time staff of two dozen people to polish his image and “personal brand.” Bill Gates is desperate for the one thing his billions can’t buy: a Nobel Peace Prize.

About the fancy Beach House, the next to the largest bedroom on the second floor has the best view. Oh and our bedroom is downstairs, Daughter snagged that room because of the view. The Boy got the Master Bedroom. 😉
Great memories you’re building there Super Dave, exciting to see your family outgrowing the condo. BIL who just passed happened to mention Saturday that he was the last Haney on the family tree, him being the only son and he had no kids. Sad to see once you ponder. My brother and I were the last with our name, this after a healthy crop of six great uncles. I have one boy and he has two, mine is 33 now and is not interested in having kids, brother’s oldest is 31 I think, wants kids but is still single. Might… Read more »
Well we made it to the beach! I’d mentioned that we rented a nice beach house on the water, just up the road from Pineapple Willy’s. It’s pretty fancy for a Farm Boy from Alabama but once you get past three couples and a two young-uns the prices are all about the same. The girls wanted a pool so that jacked it up a little bit. A 2 story with 6 bedrooms and 6.5 baths, it’s made for entertaining groups or families. 2 of the upstairs bedrooms have full size bunk beds, I’ve never seen that before. The granddaughters pretty… Read more »

Never did find the TV remote that I wanted. I finally ordered one.
