There's a story for Hollyweird. How Santa met Mrs. Claus, got fat and found his reindeer.

81 On the University of Montana campus, about where the stadium is located now, there was for many years a privately owned farmhouse and garden plot in-holding.

This old man, whom I assumed was the farmer/owner would be out in his field wearing an enormous straw hat every day, had "posture" like that guy, only worse. I marvelled at the fact someone like that could move around. As a stupid 20 something, his speed looked to be little better than glacial. But he was out there doing his thing every day.

110 So I see the latest talking point from the left is claiming Trump lied when he said the Dem party forced Biden out of the race in his conversation with Theo Von.

"Where is your evidence?" and this is where they just play stupid.

Biden said he wasn't getting out of the race. Then he disappeared for a few days and suddenly Kamala is the nominee with no votes cast for her.

There are two possibilities that aren't in conflict:

1) Biden had a health issue that makes him unable to be president
2) Biden had a health issue that his opponents in the party used to force him out in what can only be called a coup

Now if #1 is true without #2...why hasn't Biden resigned?

115 #101 Happy Little Trees BUT with a space in the middle of Happy and Little because the character string for the whole words is too complicated for Pixy that treats it like it's one huge character string.

If you go to the MS Character Map, and pick out all of the Cyrillic characters from that, it might print okay. I tried Rollerball as cut & paste from Google Translate and it wouldn't post because it was 'too long' to read; but when I copied the letters from the Character Map, it would post.

129 Tony, he was doing a lot of weeding the vegetables. But he was carrying a hoe (no jokes, pliz) and using it as a walking stick. This was right by the trailhead to the "M" going up Mt. Jumbo. I figured that by the time he got out there to where he was walking to, it would be about time to start heading back for Lunch. LOL. I'm sorry for laughing, but I still remember this guy with a 90 degree angle back still going to work every day.

Looking with hindsight I should have got to know him, an interesting character for sure. I did learn on Mt. Jumbo, being 24 and so much more is a help when hiking up a hill, but learning how to set a sustainable pace is more helpful. Lots of switchbacks, it was a handy way to keep in shape.

130 For Lizzy, and any other conspiracy theorists seekers of truth and transparency: Re: Las Vegas shooting (very illuminating)

The answer to "conspiracy theories" is full transparency

But we see a stream of events that lead to "conspiracy theories" where the government and media immediately clamp down on information as thoroughly as they can and eventually end up arguing they were incompetent not malevolent. But sorry that is not good enough.

From the attempted assassination of Trump, to the stream of trannies school shooters, to Biden giving billions in equipment to the Taliban the answer if the government/media are not hiding something would be to bring in true outsiders to review all the evidence and provide it to the public.

I tried reposting the Cyrillic without the spaces, and it got rejected.

Personally, knowing Russian, I think they would leave out the word "small" altogether and just use a diminutive form of "trees." But I'm not sure exactly what that would be, since Russian is very creative when it comes to diminutives. Perhaps "derevyaniki," but I'm not positive.

Wow. Turns out the “border sheriff” who just endorsed Kamala at the DNC was urging her and Biden to fix the border crisis in 2022
Money talks, I guess
What a sellout.”

Worse than a sellout, that guy’s been on the Cartel’s payroll his entire career. (Bexar County is San Antonio). He makes a big show of political activism and sucking up to the local Democrats who run San Antonio in order to keep attention away from how many millions in drug payoffs he launders each month.
I’m positive he’s a major player in overseeing the fentanyl shipments coming into the US from Mexico, and I’m also sure he’s offered the Harris campaign a sizable cut of the cash.

Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), locked out nearly 9,300 workers after midnight on Thursday (04:00 GMT), after failing to clinch a late deal with the Teamsters union.

Canada sends around 75% of all the goods it exports to the US, mostly over rail. A prolonged dispute could disrupt shipments of a wide range of goods, from grains and beans to potash, coal and timber.||

286 Rent/Mortgage is the real disposable income destroyer. You have that kind of money, and just buy a decent home outright, and you'll be in great shape.
Posted by: Moron Analyst at August 22, 2024 10:53 AM (JCZqz)

You have to factor in the opportunity cost of the money spent on a home. Is that more or less than what rent would be? Sometimes it may be better to keep the money and rent.

If you are getting sentence to a prison term why wouldn't you just claim to be a woman now as a man?

Even if you get attention from women you don't want it would beat attention from men you don't want.

Since illegals have poor documentation to begin with what stops someone from doing this 20 times under different names and becoming rich through rent/land speculation?
