The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

“Now, it may be a leap for some people and a lot of others may think, ‘I don’t want to go there. I don’t want to say that.’ But please open your eyes to the danger that this man poses to our country, because I think it is clear and present for anybody paying attention.” Hillary (Never Going To Be The POTUS) Clinton


Quote II
“So this is kind of going back, back, back, way back. Actually, a lot of these things that Trump is proposing would actually return the tax code to the way it was before the 1986 tax reform.” Will McBride, vice president of federal tax policy at the Tax Foundation

It's your job. Suck it up Buttercup.

At least one mail ballot and several pieces of campaign literature were among the discarded items.
A U.S. Mail contract postal worker is accused of throwing 1,000 pieces of mail — including at least one mail-in ballot and 400 political mailings — into the woods Tuesday in Orange County instead of delivering the items just before the Nov. 5 election, according to a new federal criminal complaint.

Ottis Nicole McCoy Jr. tossed the mail into a neighborhood cul-de-sac in Alafaya Woods, authorities said in the criminal complaint filed Friday in the U.S. District Court’s Orlando division.

Wang Dang Sweet Poontang Never stick your dick in Commie.

Tim Walz had a secret fling with the daughter of a high-ranking Communist official during his 1989 teaching stint in China, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Jenna Wang, 59, claims the VP hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her at his poky staff accommodation at No. 1 High School in Foshan, Guangdong Province.

The lovers could not risk holding hands or showing affection in public because Wang's dad was a high-ranking figure in the Chinese Communist Party who would disown her for fraternizing with a westerner.

But their romance blossomed behind closed doors as they sipped tea, made love and listened to George Michael hits – leading the then 24-year-old Wang to dream about marriage and a new life in the United States.

No proposal was forthcoming from the future Minnesota governor, however, and the shame of being treated 'like a prostitute' eventually left Wang feeling angry and suicidal, she claims.


Instead he married this.


She seems approachable.............

One of the top Halloween costumes for kids this year, Red from the movie “Descendants: The Rise of Red,” is frequently sold by retailers as a short, tight red getup with lace or fishnet material and zippers. Another on Google’s annual “Frightgeist” list of the top 10 kids’ costumes, the Queen of Hearts, often resembles a French maid costume.

“Boys are dressing up as military personnel, policemen, and explorers,” Sharon Lamb and Lyn Mikel Brown wrote in the 2006 book “Packaging Girlhood: Rescuing Our Daughters From Marketers’ Schemes.” “Girls dress up as hot little teenagers.”

Well, we've known about it for 5 years. But, it never posed a problem. And well, other things came up. My bad.

NASA's astronauts aboard the International Space Station have been told to prepare for an urgent evacuation amid growing safety concerns.

The US space agency and its Russian counterpart, Roscomos, are tracking 50 'areas of concern' related to a growing leak aboard the station.

NASA is now calling the cracks in a Russian service module a 'top safety risk' - escalating the threat rating to five out of five.

Astronauts have been warned to stay in the American section when the module is open so they can be close to their spacecraft in case of an emergency evacuation.

Although officials have been aware of the issue since 2019, the exact source of the leak is still unknown.

All potential cracks have been covered with 'a combination of sealant and patches' but NASA warned that the leak reached its fastest rate yet in April this year.

Concerns over the station's safety are now so high that NASA has negotiated with Roscomos to only open the hatch when absolutely necessary and to keep it sealed in the evenings.

And that's not the only cause for concern, as the space agency has warned that the ISS is at risk of being pelted with micro-meteors and space debris.

The ONT Musical Interlude & Covers Emporium

Sure, it is an older link. But still an interesting read, if you happen to read the content.

Imagine you are a newborn baby in an intensive care unit. Maybe you were born prematurely, or didn’t get enough oxygen during the delivery. There might be an IV in your tiny arm, with a small board holding it down so you can’t rip it out. You might have a tube going into your nose. You are alone, finally stabilizing after a traumatic event. But then, the doctors come in.

“It’s as if you are finally safe in your nice warm bed and suddenly, out of nowhere, someone rips the sheets off of you, opens the window to let the freezing cold air in, shines bright lights in your face—and you’re powerless,” says Christine Vaskas Churba, a music therapist at The Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine at Mount Sinai hospital in New York. Vaskas Churba works in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Although she's aligned with evil, many of us do think she is very good looking. It's just now, with her condition, we know her body will be forever changed.

Gone are the carefree days of watching her youthful spinning in that old video, or watching her fill a tight dress at some event. Her future is set. She will now develop cankles. Her upper assets will no longer perk. And, saddest of all, her ass will be large enough to support the full complement of a carrier group.

112 The UK Spectator writes about another way that the Biden/Harris Administration admits illegals without having to count them in the official statistics.

(Isn't it amazing how it's only UK papers that break these sorts of stories?)

If you live in a Third World country, and you want a tourist visa to the United States, you are required to appear before an American consular officer for an interview.

The consular officer is legally obligated to refuse issuance of the visa if he thinks that you are likely to overstay the visa, or violate the terms of the visa in some other fashion.

The visa rejection rates for some countries have traditionally been quite high - in Guatemala, for example, the rejection rate was 59% in the last year of the Trump Administration.

In 2022, the rejection rate was 5%, and in 2023, the rejection rate was 22%.

Portland is a Communist state. Vancouver, WA has traditionally been a rather red area to the point that Portlanders once called it the trailer park capitol of the universe. Portland's distain for Vancouver residents is so great that for years the fought replacing the bridge over the Columbia river and then on the Portland side eliminated a lane of travel. All of this was to punish the hicks for driving cars in an attempt to force Vancouver to pay for a light rail station and the rail extension in downtown Vancouver. I kid you not here - I once lived there and had to deal with this shit everyday. So yes, it could easily go Republican but Seattle being the northern version of the Communist State of Portland dominates and dictates statewide election outcomes.

>>Popular restaurant chain, TGIF, abruptly closes almost 50 amid bankruptcy fears

The cost of groceries have become absurd, the cost of eating out has become simply a non-starter.

The margins in the restaurant are paper thin, quite frankly, I don't understand how any restaurant is still open at this point.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at October 28, 2024 10:42 PM (XV/Pl)

179 I suspect TGIF is yet another victim of financial tomfoolery, where the company is looted by MBAs who can't see beyond the next quarterly earnings report.

182 According to a study commissioned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Puerto Rico could run out of landfill space in 2-4 years. This long-identified capacity issue has been exacerbated by tonnes of debris left behind by two back-to-back hurricanes that devastated the region in 2017.

183 If you live in a Third World country, and you want a tourist visa to the United States, you are required to appear before an American consular officer for an interview.

The consular officer is legally obligated to refuse issuance of the visa if he thinks that you are likely to overstay the visa, or violate the terms of the visa in some other fashion.
----
I witnessed this firsthand in 1994 at the American Consulate in Johannesburg. I was there sorting some paperwork and had to wait, when this 20-something African lady came in wanting a tourist visa. The consular officer grilled her for over an hour, establishing that she had no ties to her present circumstances, including her job, and told her repeatedly that she was a primary candidate to go to the US and never leave. I don't remember if she had a USA sponsor but probably not. She eventually left without a visa.

Exception being such random lady presstitutes as might be throwing themselves on the likely failed candidate, in their own twisted grasp for glories that'll never be.

If he dwells on this too long, he's likely to unroll a condom over his noggin' and start taking deep, long breaths, until he can't no mo.

We’ve been disappointed with election results, for the most part, since that time. That’s how long the “fix” has been in, in my estimation. Obviously, the fix can be overthrown, in 2016 by their carelessness, and in 2024 by making the win too big to rig (I pray to God). Vote, if you haven’t already, and bring your low propensity friends with you to the polls (as long as they’re voting for the right man in this presidential election!).

354 So I realized something amusing today

In the latest Warhammer games one of the fan favorite side characters is Valtus a Redemptor Dreadnought - basically if you get crippled they put your remains into a mech body allowing you to continue to fight.

And this guy runs around and wrecks the enemy with no absolutely no fear even by the standards of a space marine, making him perhaps the most heroic depiction of a handicapped person in a video game. Oh and Warhammer is very, very anti-woke. But...it is lore accurate, makes perfect sense in the warhammer universe and the character isn't a token or Mary Sue...

The PHX ballot fire was 6 (or so) ballots in a mail box that got set on fire … along with other mail.

Some of those are legible enough to contact the voter. The ballot boxes in the Pacific Northwest appear to be a total loss.

357 Those look to be nice late season apples, with a lot of personality for cider.

I bought as big of a garbage disposal I could get, and a used sink in a frame I built out of scraps to grind my apples up. It won't accept being out of balance, so I chop the apples in quarters ahead of time before grinding them down. It makes a very nice slurry to press

My press is built around a 3-1/2 tongue jack t It used to be that my bottleneck was grinding, but now the slowest part is pressing the slurry and the water bath canning of the quart jars

I am limited by jars and shelf space.

We also played tackle British Bulldog in the snow [even just an inch covering the playground] where you start with one kid trying to stop all of the other kids from running from the start-point to the 'safe' wall. The original 'it' would tackle/tag the one kid; the two would get another one [or two] and so on until there was just one kid left trying to make it to the safe wall!

Discouraging thoughts I have about eating out are: we are all very aware that food and labor costs have skyrocketed AND people have less disposable income. Restaurants have to turn a profit. One of the few options would be to try to pay less for food stuffs. Government has shown itself to be mostly corrupt and buyable. Government is supposed to monitor the restaurants. Toss in the fact that fast food now costs what midlevel restaurants used to and it adds up to a big "no, thanks"

I've heard it was "shrinkage". They noticed that theft was reduced, which would mean most of the shoplifting was the late night crowd, if true. Well, not most, but a good chunk of it, enough to make them see the numbers that late night was costing them a lot.

They also have an annoyingly loud alarm that goes off when you enter the store during that period. That's to alert them, one of the employees told me. She said you wouldn't believe what can go on late night.

She told a funny story when she was young and anchoring some local station. She had some mishap right before she went on the air, banging her chin, and they had to put some band-aide and quickly try to cover it with makeup, but it made a noticeable blob on her chin.

Some drunk called up the station during the broadcast and asked "What's wrong with Connie Chin's chung?"

518 When I trained as a "sales associate" for a major dept store, our class was shown choice clips of security video from previous, prosecuted thefts at our store.

Some perps were customers, some were employees... all were quite crafty and quick. They had to slo-mo a few of them so we could see the action! Wow. What an education.

522 About a year before I quit working at The Factory, they had installed security cameras in all the production areas and around all the buildings. There had been rumors and suspicion of theft for years, but they finally did something about it.

Contractors were constantly "borrowing" hand tools, that I knew of... and there was often product "missing" from my area on Mondays, after no (known) employee presence over the weekend. Hmmm.

We made ammo. You'd think it would've been more like Ft. Knox. Bet it is NOW.

I suspect some employees, and perhaps contractors, who would access "my" building for bathroom use, noticed all the unattended, unpackaged goods and maybe filled their pockets or lunch boxes or tool bags with product.

Sometimes seemed that the totes weren't quite as full as they should've been, after sitting there over the weekend....

Or you're not weak around other people's cash/property, thinking you have a 'right' to that stuff.

Maybe it's the way I was raised, I don't know. Some seem to have a propensity for stealing. As a kid, I had a bike stolen. Maybe that's the reason I don't steal, I didn't like it when it happened to me. And stealing from others just because I had something stolen makes no sense to me.

Maybe those people do have a brain short-circuit.

540 When I was a teen, had a job at an upscale sit-down restaurant. Employee turnover wasn't bad, but people come and go, you know...

So, we got a new Hostess. She'd seat the customers, take care of the Waiting List when we were super-busy, and ring-up their checks at the end.

One busy night, as dinner rush coming to an end, she came RUNNING through the kitchen & toward the rear exit with her sandals in hand. Man, the girl was FLYIN' out the back!

She'd emptied the till and took off before we knew what was happening. (Found out later that her BF had gotten out of jail.) Bet he put her up to it, under threat.

Yesterday & today have been much cooler and rainy. Not freezing yet, but cold overnight.

Trees didn't 'color-up' much but have begun to shed leaves. Except for the walnut-- once there's a hard frost, it will drop all leaves within a couple days. I like that! No constant raking, just all at once & done.
