Bullet Points:
** Many people will find this story unbelievable because they believe Pedo Joe would never overspend. Pedo Joe not only has the most extensive White House staff in history, he has also spent more than any past president to pay them. He has even topped Barack Obama’s bloated White House staff. The number has topped $52 Million a Year. The argument could be made that since the president suffers from debilitating dementia, more people have to carry his load. The Depends bill alone…
** Back on July 4 – U.S. — Democrats across the nation were reportedly confused by thousands of local parades held, as everyone in them kept their clothes on and didn’t swing sex toys around or dress up like walking vaginas.
“What even is this?” said local Democrat and cat mom Glenda Fitzgerald. “Where are the BDSM displays, the transgender furries, and the naked men on bicycles? This is not what parades are for! I don’t get it! I’m so annoyed I even bothered to bring my 5-year-old nephew to this strange event!”
** France doesn’t want to allow a good crisis to go to waste. While President Emmanuel Macron refuses to address the elephant in the room, namely mass migration and demographic shift that drove the recent riots, his government wants to tighten control over social media and seeks more powers to remotely access people’s mobile and other devices.
According to an opinion poll released last week, “more people approved of Le Pen’s response to the crisis than any other French politician (39 per cent), followed by interior minister Gérald Darmanin and Macron himself (around 33 per cent),” the UK-based Financial Times reported Tuesday. Le Pen, who ran for the presidency thrice, is expected to announce her candidature for the 2027 election.
** Historically from Day One to the present, as soon as somebody has something desirable, profitable, comfortable, or useful, other people (and governments) line up to take it from them by any means. It’s simply who we are as a species.
** (Mail) Officials in Pedo Joe’s Regime are downplaying the chances of finding the person who left cocaine in one of the most secure areas of the White House.

Mining Arizona
Use a small recirculating sluice and as you work your way down through the gravel about every 6 to 8 inches you should run your GPX 6000 over it to locate small nuggets. It makes everything more interesting.
Gold is good.
When is a Train a Tank?
Japanese Type 94 coastal defense/artillery armored train. A truly unique machine even among the likes of Armoured trains. It’s built around its 3 single 100mm duel purpose guns, each with full warship-style enclosed turrets. It’s a very impressive monster from any angle.
Unlike most Armoured trains the entire thing is fully uniformly Armoured to 10mm as it’s not a frontal combat unit or even a track patrol train expected to engage partisans and Guerrillas. Despite its rear area role, Multiple machine gun mounts all fully Armoured sponsons provide close defense against the kinds of swarming tactics that had been common in China.

A labor of love.
Identify the Aircraft:
Martin B-10
You beat HogsbreathSS by 5 minutes.
Martin B10 bomber
Martin B-10 was the first all-metal monoplane bomber to be regularly used by the United States Army Air Corps. It entered service in June 1934. It was also the first bomber too be mass produced.

It was a neat plane.
After many years, I finally learned why the nose turret on it (and some other planes of the era) was so strange – the gunner there was meant to stand while shooting.

Used to bomb Hawaii. Well, actually the Big Island. They successfully cut a trench to divert a lava flow from Kilauea volcano from flowing over towns.
Today? The lava is allowed to flow anywhere it wants. Can you imagine how big a trench if the USAF did a B-52 Arclight strike?
I’d buy a ticket to watch.
Crowd fund it.
Come to think of it, taxation is the original crowd funding.
So was original Health Insurance…until the corporate cheats got involved. MediShare is my go-to now.
I believe the overspending on the way downstairs going to BHO and his 4th term. I read somewhere that he is renting an apartment with DC this week. 1600 Pennsylvania avenue. However you’re right about the depends. Kjp is always giving answers to White House orders that they need to direct their questions to the White House office. So I’m sure a lot of it goes there as well cuz 10% for the big guy of the top. Disgrace
“KJP Answers”?? That clownish woman has never given an answer, everything she mumbles and fumbles about is a deflection or scold or both.
(Not picking at nits, am in the give the bums no quarter, ever mindset…because they deserve our verbal wrath, even on a Sunday.)
Amen.

If you are ever in the Broken Hill area in western NSW, Australia it’s where they shot the second Mad Max movie in 1981. There is a museum with most of the movie props at a small town called Silverton. Population of 50. Some very similar items to the photo of the dog bulldozer.
High desert landscape with lots of old and current mines A few post apocalyptic and western films made there.
WH Staff Spending…because its three Administrations in one. The Magical Mr O just moved back into DC and is starting his divisive-speak again. I suspect he never left.
The Fix? That scene in John Adams where he sitting in a dark lonely WH… would be a could baseline metric to return, clear out all the useless busybodies. Oh, and no one gets paid…want to make policy and run our lives? It’s all volunteer pal. (my ‘no quarter’ response)
Frank’s DogDozer- Someone with some welding and metalworking skills, looks like the structure in the background is stacked Conex containers turned into a house. Ugly like Russian tenements, but serviceable and stout.
*good* baseline… (where’s my coffee)
Bongino (who should know) says that only a family member could have gotten Coke to where it was found. Now, if we could just narrow it down,
Like I read elsewhere, if it was anthrax, we would know who left it there by now.
That is one of Dylan’s best tunes ever.
That whole album is great.
Bongino is a national treasure. I much prefer his take no prisoners style and viewpoint to those two guys who inherited Rush’s program. Buck and what’s his name.
If it’s okay with you gents I’d like to share my Sunday devotional courtesy of our Lord Jesus Christ through Sarah Young. And the devotional book Jesus calling.
STOP WORRYING LONG ENOUGH to hear My voice. I speak softly to you, in the depths of your being. Your mind shuttles back and forth, hither and yon, weaving anxious webs of confusion. As My start to rise up with you, they become entangled in the sticky webs of worry. Thus, my voice is muffled, and you hear only “white noise.”
Ask My Spirit to quiet your mind so that you can think my thoughts. This ability is an awesome benefit of being my child, patterned after my own image. Do not be defended by the noise of the world or that of your own thinking. Instead, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Sit quietly in my presence, letting my thoughts reprogram your thinking.
-Amen
Deuteronomy 30:20; Genesis 1:27; Romans 12:2
Thanks STA-Faithful gentleman
Romans 12 is one of my ‘toolbox’ favorites. Thx for the “share”.
Works for me.
Ps 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him.
Amen 🙏
Several already beat me to the B-10 it seems. I’ve long had a soft spot for the planes of that period. I think this is a rather cool piece of art, a flight of B-10s escorted by P-26s.

I’ve seen that in person at an air show once. Awesome is the only word for it.
Nice pan pf gold btw. We have quartz fragments and veins on the property…just once in my walks around the place would like to discover some gold stuck in a piece of rock, I’d be a giddy 12 year old.
Nice results in the pan. we used to take a pan when we went camping in Colorado and Montana. Found some gold and a few Yogo sapphires. Made it fun for the kids…and me too come to think of it.
Surprised that 33% of the French populace thought that Macron’s approach was correct. I guess it means if you are indoctrinated long enough you will believe anything.
Cocaine. They know and just are not saying. I do wonder how the Secret Service feels about being made the scapegoat in all of this.
Dog dozer. Who ever made that had a lot of talent. Both to envision the final result and then the skills to bring it to fruition.
The armored train looked brutal, but removing spikes for around 200 feet of rail would have turned it into a large pile of scrap.
They used to run pilot vehicles a couple miles ahead and behind to counter that, and sending other vehicles up the tracks to ram.
They even had explosive-laden “track torpedoes” for the latter method.
-Kle.
Sermon simplified: “….be still, for I am God.”
My turn for an AMEN!
That armored train. Was it worth the resources needed to create it?
They (apparently) thought that it saved money because they didn’t have to put in more shore defense batteries that could be fixed (and pinned). But it wasn’t much of a shell game. The track could be bombed and there goes the mobility. Then you’d bomb the x that the train sat on and pop goes the weasel.
Historically from Day One to the present, as soon as somebody has something desirable, profitable, comfortable, or useful, other people line up to take it from them by any means. It’s simply who we are as a species.
Chickens do the same thing, one catches a bug and the rest chase it to redistribute the wealth. But humans also understand the compounded growth that comes from individual property rights in capital goods, and that’s why humans are able to put chickens into sandwiches and not the other way around. Human have firmware for envy, but this urge can be resisted.
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
Why? They used to say man would never walk on the moon, too.
