Law Enforcement Meme of the Day

 

Bullet Points:

** There is that moment when you realize that 1918 and 1970 are as far apart as 1970 and 2022. I know this has been posted here before, but I wanted to remind you.

** All New England, plus the state of Pennsylvania, would fit inside Arizona.

** Tomorrow is Rocky & Bullwinkle Day – you’re encouraged to speak like your favorite character from the popular cartoon all day. I’m torn between Boris and Fearless Leader.

** (Bee) CHICAGO, IL — Oprah Winfrey wowed delegates at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night when she asked them to check under their seats to find a free illegal immigrant of their very own.

“You get an undocumented immigrant! And you get an undocumented immigrant! You all get undocumented immigrants!” Oprah yelled from the convention stage. The audience erupted with applause and shouts of joy as each attendee discovered the illegal immigrant who had been hiding under their chair the whole time. Men, women, non-binary, and furries alike were overwhelmed with joy—a joy that Oprah promised was but a taste of the great joy to come under a Kamala Harris regime.

** Caffeine isn’t enough anymore. I need to chew on a powerline to jump-start myself.

** Corporatespeak needs to be eliminated with extreme prejudice from our vocabularies. These words call to mind the tinny hum of fluorescent lighting, the bland, vinyl tiles of a far-too-low drop ceiling, the shrill squeeeeeeak of a dry erase marker dragged across a whiteboard, and the pervasive smell of stale break room coffee.

    • Leverage
    • Synergy
    • Bandwidth
    • Touchpoint
    • Deliverable

** These days, everyone requests that you follow them on X (was Twitter). I rarely post things there, and you can ignore @LBLAMBERT.

** The FFG 7 OHP Class Frigates and their successors are discussed in CDRSALs blog.

    1. Zing!
      *
      I hope to have the programming issues solved by tomorrow when the 8/30 blog posts. More things to ID.

          1. Especially not voting machines. They follow their programming. 81 million for the Big Guy!

  2. synergy should be left to pharmacology, IMHO; it’s a sort of ‘nother word for potentiate: viz. “Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) appears to potentiate the effects of oxycodone which is why your patients may find greater relief with Percodan than with Percocet, oxycodone combined with Tylenol (acetaminophen).”
    and bandwidth should be left to hams (and the FCC)

  3. This will make you chew on a powerline. (The Center Square) – The California legislature passed a bill allowing undocumented immigrants to make use of the state’s $150,000, 0 down, 0 interest home “loans.” Newscum signed the bill last night. WTF is going on! Why hasn’t California detached from the U.S. yet into the pacific to become a CAS (Close Air Support) training area?

        1. WTF kind of a house are you supposed to be able to buy in Cali for 150 grand?
          Maybe a cardboard box made of good Amercadian cardboard, instead of the
          Chinese crap?
          *
          – Kle.

          1. Come now, they don’t actually buy the house. Each of you “buys” a ‘house’ and the $150K goes to “lender” one, who pays off “investment funder” #1 who transfers to overseas investment funder #2. Repeat a few times and its real money and offshore too.

    2. Simple: They are demented, minds taken over by the Evil One. And if you point out their folly to them, they’ll double-down defending this illegal program that will further tank the state while our nations sovereignty.

  4. I cross-pollinated this over at LSP’s chapel: What if “The Big Guy” that Chi-nuh’s 10% has been going to all this time wasn’t Brandon? What if it was Big Mike all along?
    >
    Another question, why don’t we just buy some frigates from the Aussies or the Turks? We could then make artificial reefs out of all those LCS, or give ’em to somebody we don’t like, say Venezuela or Iran? Just sayin’.

    1. Good point, pretty sure it’s ALL of them, not just the Mr/Mrs O. Think about it, a Chinesium Spy Balloon is left to float across 2/3’s the United States, shot to pieces over the Atlantic – and just like cremating Crooks straight away after the assassination attempt – any damning evidence is gone.

      1. RE: the balloon: I’ve been waiting for a rational explanation for letting that thing drift over the entire flippin’ United States that doesn’t involve Xi calling up Brandon and saying “Who’s your daddy?” and Brandon bending over again and it’s my considered opinion there ain’t one.

  5. I subtracted my age from my year of birth and Custer was barely room temperature, Grant was president, and nobody’d heard of this guy Earp.

  6. I discovered that I was working around the corner from a black rifle coffee plant. I went in to look around and they had containers of what looked like tobacco products. It turned out they’re little pouches of coffee product that you pinch between your lip and gum. I found them pretty handy during the day. But I can quit whenever I want.

    1. “But I can quit whenever I want.”

      Lol.

      Said that to my momma 40 years ago, about cigarettes. And if she were alive today, she’d still be throwing that in my face.

      I’m workin’ on it!

      1. Years ago working on a car, I got a splash of DOT3 brake fluid in my mouth. (FYI, DOT3 is alcohol-based). I decided I liked the taste and started drinking it straight. More and more through the years. Finally, my now-ex-wife told me that I had a drinking problem. I straight-faced told her that I could stop any time I wanted….
        Thanks, you’ve been a great audience, don’t forget to tip our host, LL.

  7. “Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit outta my ass!” “No doubt about it…I gotta get a bigger ass…”

  8. X, Twitter, Reddit, etc. Too much a Latter Day Luddite (and too lazy) to learn how to install, let alone use. I can’t even understand how to use MeWe. What I can do is copy other people’s creations and paste into a folder. When something appropriate crops up, re-post. You are welcome.

  9. Zero Social Media for me, pretty much ever. No need to have that distraction ‘dinging’ my phone all day wasting my time. Heck, I can waste plenty of time here, bloviating on actual important stuff – heh.

    CorpSpeak – Add to that “pivot”…geez, that’s thrown around like business is an Olympic athletic event right up there with Break Dancing and Left-Handed Smoke Shifting. The terms people make up in order to sound important and smart.

  10. I’ve never heard of the cartoon Rocky and Bullwinkle so I am unable to talk like such a character all day. Instead I will talk like Gerald from Clarkson’s farm.

    1. Gerald…hmmm, okay. I’m disturbed that you’ve never heard of Rocky (Rocket J. Squirrel) and Bullwinkle, Boris, Natasha and Fearless Leader.

  11. “Keel Moose and Squirrel”.

    As noted, the post is cut and paste from Wiki. I used this link because I like the picture of Jay Ward.

    Also loved the narration and sprinkles of adult humor. A clip has stuck in my mind where Rocky is flying and taking friendly fire from an AA battery. The narrator explains, “The wily squirrel used the ack-ack bursts to spell out “US TAXPAYER”, immediately followed by a general frantically waving his arms an yelling “Cease Fire! We need all
    of them we can get!”.

  12. Panzer Selbstfahrlafette = Self-propelled gun. I looked it up and as suspected it is actually a 7.5-centimetre (3 in) L/40.8 gun mounted in an open-topped, low-profile turret.
    Only two prototypes were built and sent to North Africa for troop trials. Neither survived the war.

  13. Time. I recently had occasion to put it this way–when I was a young lad, my dad was a WWII vet. My maternal grandfather was an “old guy”, a veteran of WWI. The Civil War was ancient history. Now, WWI was over 100 years ago. I would really like to see this–
