How much more is sustainable? If you go with the Ho, you know which direction it’s headed.

She’ll cackle us into $50 Trillion in debt in four years.

The debt one year ago was $32.65 trillion, meaning that the debt has increased by $2.35 trillion over the past 12 months. This rate of increase equates to: $196 billion in new debt per month, $6.4 billion in new debt per day, $268 million in new debt per hour, $4.5 million in new debt per minute, and $74,401 in new debt per second.

The U.S. Treasury Department reports the amount of debt outstanding at the end of the previous business day.

The report can be found here.

 

Bullet Points:

** MAGA

** Your dog has a surprised look on his face!

** Mark R. Levin tweeted, “Kamala Harris’s national security adviser probed over ties to Iranian influence network.” The deep state wants assurances that he has them.

** Many men have given up on American women and have chosen the Passport Bro. option. More here.

** CNN NEVER livestreamed a Trump rally before the one in Butler, PA. Why do you think that was?

** Love is a battlefield.

 

Housekeeping—Extreme Libertarian and others have commented on the presence of mermaids near Navy Diving and Combat Swimmer (SEAL) Commands in the Naval Southwest Region (San Diego and environs) as reported on this blog. There has been confusion on the matter, and I will try to explain the legend, of which I can’t claim first-hand knowledge. More succinctly asked, the question would be, “Is there a process by which a selkie is created?” Also called the seal people, the sea people, or the mermaids – a selkie is a marine legend that tells of half-fish and half-human females. In the water, they are mermaids, but on land, they shed their maritime skin and take on human form.

To explain more fully, we have to go back in time to a point when Americans knew the difference between a man and a woman, and there was no confusion on the matter. Yes, it was long ago, but that day did exist.

As I understand it, the creation process occurred when alpha males met with females, often both in their twenties, encountering one another while running on the beach at Coronado or along the Strand. Sometimes, they met at McP’s or at “dive” bars near Brown Field following HALO/HAHO parachute practice or near the CQB facility at La Posta. The location where they met doesn’t matter so much as that they did. The creation process thus involved an attractive, fit female (no sweat hogs/ample females were considered). Usually, after the initial meeting, alleged consumption of alcoholic beverages took place. After the last call, they retreated to a hotel or motel room in elite destination cities like Imperial Beach, Santee, or National City. Chemlights, shaken and activated, then cut with their glow-in-the-dark green and blue spread over the body of the willing female participant’s skin, led to the transformation. Sometimes, the lucky couple, slightly worse for wear, would end up at Perry’s Cafe (4620 Pacific Hwy, San Diego, CA) for breakfast and three pots of coffee.

The quarterdeck would understand when the call came in (before cell phones) from a scratchy pay-phone with a bad connection, and a worn voice told the understanding OOD, who likely would have made a mermaid or two in his time, “I’m at Perry’s – I’ll be in late today.”  If the XO asked the OOD, “Where the f*ck is Chief Curtis (not their real names), Mr. Lambert?” The answer would be “Perry’s.”  XO (with more understanding), “Oh– muttered words– have him process the gear requests on his desk for my chop if he shows up.”

Relax, it’s only a legend. If there were any Offspring of the pairings, they would have their twenty-years in by now. The statute of limitations has run.

I don’t know, but I’ve been told that Navy Wings are made of gold. I don’t know, but it’s been said that Air Force Wings are made of lead.

    7. outside my area of interest.
    Identify the Movie:
    Atomic Blonde

  2. Love is a Battlefield ~ I believe the last part was cut off. If I remember correctly, he went on to say, “… before they found out I keep my condoms in the truck’s glovebox”.

      1. And here I thought he had exceptional situational awareness…but deep down he’s…male.

  3. CNN- Same reason they were on site during the 3am raid on Roger Stone, which is why they are being propped up instead of folding like any other failing business would with their poor performance.

    Biden-Harris – Where the hell is our _Resident? Harris is acting as such without any declaration while Israel is being threatened and Iran has been emboldened. Never before in history has the Constitution been so flagrantly violated in such a manner, these people are acting like they own the place…tyranny on steroids. If Harris steals the spot, not only will our debt rise exponentially the world will burn as she is nothing but a smokescreen designed to obscure those continuing to run the s**tshow. THEY TRIED TO ASSASSINATE a former President…and we get NOTHING…zero real answers and zero people held accountable (Cheater Cheatle is sitting on a resort beach somewhere with a fat off-shore account… instead of busting rocks all day…in Texas heat.) TIME FOR A RESET ™

    Header Art- First thought was they got interrupted. With your hint…Barry Seal came to mind.

    1. Ps. Mermaids- Have no direct experience on the subject, but in my yute was never a SEAL therefore never been deprived of all manner of sleep deprivation or physical exhaustion to bring about such sultry apparitions, whether on the beach or in a well known thirst- quenching establishment.

        1. Fiction huh…and here I thought it was a true story, and we know Tom Cruise only makes movies that are real (he did do the MI Dead Reckoning P1 jump stunt himself…dude has a death wish…but it ain’t braggin iffn you can do it).

    2. “debt rise exponentially the world will burn as she is nothing but a smokescreen designed to obscure those continuing to run the s**tshow. ”
      This is how “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”

      1. If she gets se-lected, we’ll pretty much know the identity of the Whore of Babylon.

      1. What I want to know is why she is nekkid, clutching a flimsy negligee and dropping a suitcase of what appears to be drugs, or wrapped up money. It does appear he is firing into the wing, hopefully setting it to explode and cover their retreat?

        1. LL, I have the DVD disk of American Made and except for the romp in the pilot seat when they were flying back from Colombia I don’t remember a scantly clad women exiting his airplane and him shooting his wing.

    1. And what are the guys outside the hanger shooting at? Space aliens somewhere behind the plane?

  4. 1) “surprised look”
    Maybe the dog DID enjoy the treat. Don Lemon would enjoy that kind of thing, for example. Did “Ryan Harrison” assume that dog’s sexual orientation? Also, Kelly LeBrock!
    2) Harris Nat Sec Advisor
    Do we really want to look into the ties that our various governmental advisors have with nations in the middle east? Do we really want to go there? This includes you too, Republicans. Especially you. (I mean, HELL YEAH we should put an end to this sort of thing, but both parties are heavily compromised. And it’s Hate Crime to notice, so we don’t. I sure haven’t noticed a THING, personally.)
    3) Entitled girl ego check:

  5. The only eatery near NSW La Posta was the La Posta Cafe on Old Hwy 80. I don’t ever recall seeing young women there, just local ranchers.

    Number 5, Northrop HL-10, is the plane that Col. Steve Austin crashed in.

    1. I meant in the broader area. There are watering holes one could retreat to. If pushed, I could search for seared brain cells for an answer. It was a long time ago. There was a joint in El Cajon, on the road home.

  6. The Air Force has a perfect record. Every plane sent up has come back down. The Navy does not have a prefect record. In Dec 1945 Flight 19 went up and never came down.

    1. Oh, Flight 19 came down. Somewhere. The waters outside of the Bahama islands are deep and treacherous.

  7. On the bright side, although the CV-22 is more expensive, higher maintenance ,
    and carries a lighter load than the Greyhound, it also has shorter range.

    I was thinking that the Cunliffe-Owen Clyde Clipper looked a lot like a Burnelli, but it
    turns out to be a license-built Burnelli, instead. I never knew anybody licensed those.

  8. ** CNN NEVER livestreamed a Trump rally before the one in Butler, PA. Why do you think that was?
    I don’t know. Whatever, the prolific number of cell phone videos will both make a cover up difficult, and finding the truth difficult. Something of a modern fog of war?
    Imagine the JFK assignation with scores of cell phone videos instead of just one 8 mm armature movie.

  9. And here’s where I have to kind-of support replacing the Greyhound with the Osprey COD. Since the VTOL F-35 can fly off of all the landing decks including landing ships and such. And possibly reinforced flight decks on smaller ships. The Greyhound or the C-3 (a cargo version of the S-3 Warhoover) would not be able to fly onto and off of smaller landing decks and definitely off of the helo decks on non-carrier ships. So, instead of having 2 CODs, they went with one, the stupid Osprey COD, which can carry 1 engine for the F-35.

    So, in that respect, yeah, okay, Stupid Tiltrotor COD wins. What they should have done is bought both the STCOD and the newer C-3 HooverCOD, as the C-3 had longer range and higher cargo capacity and greater speed and more cross-capability (like being used as a missile platform or sensor platform) than the tiltwhirlybird.

    If you only can buy one, then, yes, the tiltrotor. As it can fly off of all decks. But, once again, a long-range multi-use vehicle is replaced by one with shorter legs and less multi-uses. Like getting rid of the F-14 and replacing it with shorter-range aircraft. Or getting rid of the Phoenix and only recently replacing it with a Standard missile carried under-wing, finally, just in time for fun times in the Pacific.

  10. Beans, the Osprey, just like the F-35B is limited to certain decks due to the heat generated in the VTOL mode.

    Larry, I know ‘nozzink’ about anything(s) that might have taken place at NAS North Island or IB… Ain’t no pictures, can’t prove a thing…
