They Said Hurty Words

Apparently the imbecilic head of the secret service, Kimberly Cheatle, fell on her sword after getting roughed up in congress. I don't think that was her plan, originally. Personally, I think they should've brought in Aesop for the hammering: Somebody made the decision to half-ass Trump's protective detail all along. Somebody made the decision, despite multiple requests … Continue reading They Said Hurty Words →

I’m with Hanlon here

Lot of commentary this week over the Trump assassination attempt. BCE probably has the best and most entertaining. But I'm going with El Gato Malo here. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. And it's ugly stepsister, incompetence. and it’s not like the secret service is all that it once was. … Continue reading I’m with Hanlon here →

Happy Independence Day

Celebrate it whilst you can, I suppose. What would the founding fathers think of the evil simpletons running the joint these days? What would they think of that debate? What an embarrassing spectacle. This has been a week of gaslighting and excuses trying to tell us we didn't see what we saw and it's no … Continue reading Happy Independence Day →

TDS in the Wild

I joined Facebook again a few months ago, mostly because that's how many in my family communicate. I also like the feeds for Vice Grip Garage and other YouTubers I watch. I have few friends on it. I click-through on nothing. There's little on it but pics of me that are on the interwebs elsewhere, … Continue reading TDS in the Wild →

Lay off the Dude

Who'd have thought a commencement address at a fairly obscure private college would have the usual suspects gibbering and flapping arms. Behold: https://youtu.be/-JS7RIKSaCc?si=wKyarX9HBPDLD3E3 Catholic dude, speaking at a (very) Catholic college about life and things all Catholics believe. There's nothing wrong pointing out that quite a few of the women graduates would see motherhood as … Continue reading Lay off the Dude →

Got the COVID for the long haul

I stumbled on a piece about long COVID on PJMedia. It started with Ann Coulter chucking a bomb at it on a Scott Adams podcast. "I hope you're not one of these, but I've been a little disappointed in some of my fellow conservatives running off on this UFO thing," she began. "UFO things have … Continue reading Got the COVID for the long haul →

Are You Ready?

https://youtu.be/Q_k1j_PGrg8?si=ayj_OeGVHL4r7JtZ That's right. We right wing nut jobs are up in the hills, a-trainin'. Actually, there aren't any hills around here to train. We go to the range, where it's air conditioned. Some even have snacks. TBH, the woman has more to fear with D'arius and Ray-Ray running around her district with modified Glocks than … Continue reading Are You Ready? →

Doomed

Getting dressed one morning, I was listening to AM radio, like I do, and a piece came on about Frank Luntz interviewing Generation Z, who apparently prefers socialism. I had to find it. So here it is: https://youtu.be/LTjPGD9PBPM Now, this video has a few outliers whose parents came from socialist countries, like Cuba, telling the … Continue reading Doomed →

Failing Upward

Zman had a piece the other day on saving face/oriental managerialism: This idea of face saving is not entirely alien to the West, but it is not a natural thing the way we see it practiced by our elites. Western societies are moral societies, held together as much by a set of agreed upon codes, … Continue reading Failing Upward →

For Whom the Bell Tolls

I found this on the Burning Platform: https://twitter.com/i/status/1745760948097327572 She records her...uh...Force Management Planning event. The piece itself is about being replaced by diversity. I don't understand that, really, since she's a semi-protected class, so to speak. I'll circle back to that. First off, everyone knows when a Day of the Long Knives is coming at … Continue reading For Whom the Bell Tolls →
