Bullet Points:
** The Obama-Clinton-Brennan-Comey-Clapper-Rice-RussiaGate Cabal is not just a power-hungry syndicate — They know that their ideas don’t work and must be given a boost through subterfuge and fraud. And knowing that their ideas led to gulags and death camps, they pursued this course anyway. You don’t hate them enough.
** Dumb and Dumber star Jeff Daniels said the country missed a historic opportunity by not electing former Vice President Kamala Harris as president in 2024, comparing her leadership potential to that of President Abraham Lincoln’s.
** For BOATS – “A Navy Chief noticed a new seaman and barked at him, “Get over here! What’s your name, sailor?”
“John,” the new seaman replied.
“Look, I don’t know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy crap they’re teaching sailors in boot camp nowadays, but I don’t call anyone by his first name,” the chief scowled. “It breeds familiarity, and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my sailors by their last names only: Smith, Jones, Baker, whatever. And you are to refer to me as ‘Chief’. Do I make myself clear?”
“Aye, Aye Chief!”
“Now that we’ve got that straight, what’s your last name?”
The seaman sighed. “Darling, my name is John Darling, Chief.”
“Okay, John, here’s what I want you to do.”
** I suspect that President Trump has realized that he can’t “front door” severe budget cuts through Congress, and that the most effective way he has actually to cut spending is via the back door: Don’t spend all the money Congress allocates. Given all the recent firings and the “baseline budgeting” system, I bet that a lot of money will go unspent this year, and that next year’s budget will be much more sensible.
** Nurses on vacation.
** The most Jewish man in the world.
** Peterson on the central tenet of Christianity.
** A novice said oilfield money is easy money. Yeah, right, tell that to the guys working 12-hour shifts in the blistering heat.
** Did you buy your new hearing aid from the Chinese? How long did you plan to live?
** Do you want the good news first or the bad news?
** Five Planned Parenthood facilities are being forced to close in Northern California as a result of President Donald Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill.
The “Celebrated” Class
The insufferable celebrity responses to the insufferable Stephen Colbert’s firing, and the celebrity responses to it, were as inane as you’d expect.
“GAH! Boy, Michael Moore has let himself go.” But then I recognized that it was Rosie. And I knew that she must have posted another anti-Trump rant. Sure enough, she got that camera right up close to her face – and that angle doesn’t do anybody any favors, even if you don’t have a face for radio – and went to town. She pointed out that ICE is like the Gestapo. Because if you’re a history buff, you surely remember how the Gestapo only arrested people who had illegally entered Germany, and then followed the rules and gave them three hots and a cot until they could safely deport them to their home countries. And we all remember the Gestapo officers’ ominous first statement when they started interrogating an illegal immigrant: “Ve haf vays of making you…comfortable.”
She mourned Colbert’s firing, and preached that it shouldn’t have mattered that he was losing $40 million per year for CBS, saying that, “people who only measure in money…it’s a disease.” No, Rosie. DPGS (Delusional Political Grievance Syndrome) with accompanying TDS as a co-morbidity is a disease. “Measuring in money” is how a business stays in business. I had hoped that when Rosie crossed the ocean to bother the Irish, their loss would be our gain, and we’d get a little peace over here. Sadly, it was not to be.
In Rosie’s defense, as disconcerting as her appearance has been, and as deranged as her thoughts usually are, at least she wasn’t swearing like a sailor who’d just hit his thumb with a hammer. And I can’t say the same for just about any other Democrat celebrity or politician lately. I’ve read that many Dem(onic) politicians have intentionally started swearing on camera, as part of an effort to seem cool and appeal to young male voters. So many of them do it so awkwardly that those rumors must be true, and that is pathetic.
Colbert himself used the f-word – and I don’t mean “friend” – when he announced his cancellation. He quoted Trump dunking on him because “His talent was even less than his ratings.” Colbert’s self-owning comeback? “How dare you, sir. Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?… Go friend yourself!” Yes, that’s precisely the sad excuse for a witticism that an untalented man, backed up by a staff of 20 writers, don’t forget! – would come up with!
Jon Stewart – one-upped Colbert, friend-wise. A quarter-century ago, Stewart was a cool, young comic/host, surfing the political zeitgeist and having way more political influence with young people than he deserved. He could be authentically funny, but even in the early days, way too many of his “jokes” relied on him reading a stupid statement from a politician and then making a silly face at the camera. Being cool is like being attractive; it’s a lot easier when you’re young, and it often doesn’t age well. It’s tough to stay cool when you are elderly. A few can pull it off. Clint Eastwood is still cool in his 90s. Dean Martin was cool into his late 60s, and Tom Petty was cool until the day he died.
I’m an elderly gentleman myself, and yet still as cool as the other side of the pillow.
But we’re the exceptions, and Jon Stewart is decidedly not. After he recently came back to do one Daily Show per week, it was clear that his schtick had aged like milk left out in the sun in August. Endlessly ranting about Trump, especially when the Democrats are providing such a rich vein of comic material that you’re ignoring, is not bringing in the ratings. And mugging for the camera with an old-guy face doesn’t work as it once did. To make matters worse, Stewart chose to do his performative rant about Colbert using a repetitive string of F-bombs, accompanied by – of all things – a gospel choir.
Although if Stewart could be held to his own side’s rigid standards of wokeness, I’m not sure I could think of any more extreme example of “cultural appropriation” than a Jewish atheist carpet-bombing a TV audience with F-bombs to the musical stylings of a Gospel choir. Stewart did his impression of a Baptist/Jewish minister (?) flailing around in front of a gospel choir, hollering, “Go friend yourself!” and “Friend, friend, friend yourself, just go friend yourself” over and over again. Only it wasn’t a real gospel choir, just a half-dozen blackground singers doing a parody, and the whole thing smacked of trying way too hard.
When it came to mind-numbingly relentless over-use of the f-word, nobody could top Hunter Biden’s bizarre interview with some unknown guy called Andrew Callaghan, who the left is hoping will become their Joe Rogan. (Spoiler alert: they’re out of their friending minds.) Hunter’s interview was a fascinating combination of brutally cruel truth-telling and colossally clueless self-deceiving, all delivered with a mother-friending friend-storm of friended-up vulgarity.
He definitely told the truth about a lot of leftist figures. He said that George Clooney doesn’t know a friending thing about politics and is just a brand, and that James friending Carville hasn’t won a friending election in 40 years, and that Jake Tapper has the smallest friending audience on cable.
He also touted the healthiness of crack cocaine over both alcohol and regular cocaine, because when you make crack, you burn off all of the impurities, or something. I think we’ll all just take your word for that, scooter.
However, his lack of self-awareness led to some entertaining moments, as when he criticized David Axelrod and David Plouffe for “dining out on their relationship with Obama for years, making millions of dollars.” Um, Hunter, remember that time when you had no skills or knowledge about painting, or Ukraine, or energy, and yet brought in millions of dollars for your terrible paintings, and your positions with energy companies in Ukraine? Because your name was Biden?
Finally, my personal favorite story of the last several days involved everybody’s favorite faux-Bronx girl from Westchester, AOC. Most people recall when she attended the prestigious Met Gala a few years ago and wore a white designer dress featuring the words “Tax the Rich” in large red letters on its back.
It turns out that even though she’s a self-proclaimed socialist who shouldn’t have been willing to be caught dead mixing with the evil rich folks at their fancy ball, she also improperly accepted free admission to the party for her boyfriend, and she didn’t pay full market value for her statement-making dress. Unexpectedly!
A House ethics commission is requiring her to cough up $2700 that she should have paid. Got that? She’s a gal from a tony suburb pretending to be from the Bronx, and a rich person pretending to be a lower-middle class person, and a tax dodger pretending to be all for rich people like her paying lots of taxes.
When she was shopping for her dress, AOC almost certainly asked, “Does this ‘Tax the Rich’ dress make my juicy booty (her words, not mine) look fat?” She failed to ask, “Does this idiotic, hypocritical slogan make me look stupid?” or “Shouldn’t I be paying taxes on this expensive donation to emphasize my best political asset?”
Are you in North Carolina?
FOR A LIMITED TIME. Pleasant Mart in Shelby, NC, will be offering discounted tooth extraction services by the canned soup aisle.
Dr. Brenton has accumulated a significant amount of debt using our in-store financing option, so we have agreed to let him pay it off on Monday and Tuesday only. If you come by and buy more than three cases of Potted Meat, you’ll qualify for this promotion. It should be noted that Dr. Benton lost his license in 2004 due to allegations of professional misconduct, including malpractice. He was released from Granville Correctional Institution over a year ago and is not on supervised conditions. He has paid his debt to society entirely – his only debt is to the store.
Do with that information as you see fit. Anyways, if you see him at work this week, do not be alarmed, he is allowed to be here and is just doing his job.

Dont ‘splain it to me, but gimme a hint or point me in the right direction- whats up with all the Shelby stuff?
It’s just random BS – kinda funny and kinda sad.
Pleasent Mart ain’t so pleasant lately…from a touching mid-aisle proposal with Junior on bend-ed knee to THAT? PM has really let itself go. (like Rosie and Moore only with 3XL NASCAR T-Shirts).

“A novice said oilfield money is easy money. Yeah, right, tell that to the guys working 12-hour shifts in the blistering heat.” – Landman shows it for what it is, roughneck work to the hilt with instantaneous danger at every turn.

Prayers for those affected by yet another nutjob with a rifle running amok…what the hay?! That sound you hear is his social media accounts getting scrubbed, in 3…2…1. Crooks, Routh, Mangione, Paddock (assuming he acted alone…yeah right), Hale…on and on. People are getting more unhinged by the day. This guy (who shall remain nameless by me) drove a Beemer and had a fancy-dan modified AR…and a building access card (best we can know). Oh, and Demented CNN said the perp “was white” despite clearly showing his ‘non-whiteness’ in the security cam photo.
Best to employ the Bongino Rule: “Wait 48-72 hours before saying anything.”
Let’s see how quick this gets dustbin-ed.
The maniac stabbing people in Traverse City was stopped by two guys with concealed weapons permits and the guns to match.
Exactly…instead of like that recent Cincinnati 3am attack on the man (who started the melee) and the gal who was with him (Holly)…apparently one hundred people were videoing on their phones for their IG accounts while ONLY ONE person had the good sense to call 911. As far as I am concerned all 100 standerbyers should be arrested for complicity. (Heard Gutfeld say “when Netflix does the movie about this it’ll be black man and woman being beaten up by a white mob”…exceedingly sad but true.)
But hey, PDJT was treated better in Scotland than in any Blue run city here, then comes back with nearly a trillion in tariff deals. Jim Cramer is having apoplexy for how bd he called it. Some people must hate to win, but worse, hate that anyone wins…especially Our President.)

I was called “fender head” by my great mentor Bos’n Verbic for a long time . He was a sea going sonofabitch , his first ship was the Turner Joy (yes that one at that time) . Verbic served 30+ in the Nav , then for more sea time crazy fucker joined the MSC . I saw him once during an UNREP in the Indian Ocean on the delivery ship , hard hat and a ponytail , he grabbed the station to station phone line and told my phone talker to tell me to “fuck off” and that ” that dumb mf’r (me) rig captain was running the biggest shitshow he’d ever seen ” , I asked the phone talker , “he said what?” , the phone talker repeated and I looked across the water and there was Verbic giving me the two handed single finger salute . I told the phone talker to tell him , ” well you taught me , you geriatric F-Face “. He handed the phone back to his phone talker and laughed hard I could tell , the he took a bow , like he just finished a bit on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson . I heard he finally got out and was living in the Phillippines with his filipina wife of many years , although there is someone selling classic guitars in San Diego with the same name . (*reference clarity , for those who don’t know, a fender is a cushion put oer the side when coming alongside another boat , pier, etc , in other words he thought my head worthy to bash in , or whatever. )
But we used last names mostly , unless you had a long weird last name , then it usually got shortened for brevity . nicknames were common usually based on features traits or skills .
> dumb mf’r
>> you geriatric F-Face

Classic. Men show their affection for each other through insults. Women show their hatred for each other with public displays of smiles and hugs.
At least for men above a certain age. Not sure where the line is, but somewhere around 30, a horrifying proportion of men stopped acting like men and started acting like bitches. (Note I did not say “women”. Because I didn’t mean women. Word choice was deliberate.)
Any road, keep the stories coming.

MANY years ago I worked with a Marine Sgt last name Major. He was an air controller and it was funny to watch the other Marines go “Sergeant…” and just leave it there… He would shrug and say, “I’m NOT in the Army, thankfully…”
I sometime wonder how I’d react if the entire Obama show cast simply disappeared. Nobody knows where they went, nobody can find them, nobody has any information that leads to them, and regardless of conjecture, no evidence can be found to even find a clue. One thing I thought of is: “I wonder if they would reappear, and be worse?” The other thought is: “Cartwheels are out of the question. I’m too old, but if it hurt when they disappeared, they deserved it.”
It’s like a weed structure though. The roots go so deep and so far.
Here I was, looking forward to seeing “** The most Jewish man in the world.” when I receive this message instead:
“This page isn’t available right now” ad nauseam.
I tried every trick in the book to get on that F-Book page to no avail.

Whoa. Up to about 0:55 it could have been written by Woody Allen (the Woody from “before he was ashamed to be funny” [1]).
Then it took an unexpectedly hard turn. Holy crap. Looks like the Dutch (in prior “ad”) got off lightly.

[1] My best friend, up until Jr High, and I practically had Woody Allen’s “Without Feathers” (among other things) memorized. And the Marshall McLuhan scene from Annie Hall still gives me joy.
this appears to be a come-to-life of some of Herr Hitler’s propagandist’s Jew cartoons from the ’30s
the hook-nosed Jew rubbing his hands together in some type of arcane prayer over pennies – very typical of the period’s push to see the incorrectly viewed Jew of the Merchant of Venice to whom his wife’s jewelled ring was more important than his daughter.
The Russian/Ukrainian Jews fleeing poverty/starvation brought on by Stalin’s socialist state and the German Jews just couldn’t have that, didn’t want to be associated with “those people” – they learned.
Their depictions of other nationalities are on the same level.
Equal opportunity mockers of tropes.
I dunno, Ed. The last bits about “109” (supposedly the number of countries Jews have been kicked out of) and especially the dragging mattresses into a tunnel (referencing the recent Brooklyn Chabad “tunnel Jew” thing and accusations of systematic subterranean child rape) were pretty hardcore. I’d argue markedly worse than making fun of Asian Tiger moms or cheap Dutchmen.
—
But the hook nose thing and the coins (both shaving and picking up in traffic)? THAT’s the upsetting part?!! Cripes. Heard those a hundred times, from Jewish guys. It’s like lawyer jokes: the people who tell them most often, and are the source of the best ones? It’s lawyers. I’m surprised they left out the “Jew-fro” thing, to be honest. It’s a definite part of the standard schtick.
I must have missed the references to child rape. I’ll review. But if so I have to agree that would be over the line.
will the Piazzale Loreto be available sometime in the very near future for a little Ukrainian Jewish piano-playing comedian?
asking for a друг.
“the central tenet of Christianity.”
Even Google’s AI knows:
The central belief in Christianity is the belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Messiah (Christ), who came to Earth to save humanity from sin.
Christians believe Jesus was crucified, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, offering forgiveness of sins and eternal life to those who believe in him.

Health care. Tried to make an appointment to have my hip examined. First available appointment was mid September. I regret, in a small way, my response. “Hell, by then, I will have healed, or died”. The female on the other end was doing a job, and I shouldn’t have dumped on her.

Stephen Colbert’s firing
My, “Give a shit”, meter is still stuck on the left peg. It will give the (P)gregressives another satisfying hissy fit.
Bob Hoover did a little aerial ballet with a Commander. Watching him dead stick that thing was a lesson on energy conservation.
It’s a remarkably great aircraft. In the right hands, it’s poetry.

I say this as a religious professional.
I hate when I hate politicians trying to deprive me of my liberty, especially when it feels like such a righteous hate. We know there are things that God hates. I’m not sure he hates the person. But I’m not a religious professional.
The Almighty doesn’t come to me for advice – but my sense is that some people manage this life better than others. The simple truth is, not all of us become the men we once hoped we might be.
