Demanding Doggos Cafe

Pienza, the so-called "ideal city" in Tuscany
by Max Morriconi
More here.
There's a short video here.

Jets vs. Sharks but more butch.

Kittens being lazybones.

Handing out toys to rando dogs.

Straight from the tap.

DID YOU KNOW? Baby goats make outstanding mechanic's assistants.

Cat won't get hustled by some street haggler.

Don't give me that static.

Providing a booster chair for ducklings.

For the discriminating connoisseur of toe beans.

That's the mustard.

I've got something to say!

Not good for either party. Ducks poop more regularly than just about any animal out there. They are, definitely, pooping in that pool. Anybody using that pool runs a high risk of conjunctivitis (pink eye)...which isn't fun.

Chorine is, likely, in that pool, and guess what. Chlorine is bad for ducks and can cause significant health issues if they swim in or drink it regularly. It strips the natural oils from their feathers, leading to waterlogging, and can damage their kidneys if consumed.

I have a pool. I regularly have to contend with the errant Canadian goose who likes to explore up from the pond down in the pasture. Some people think fences around pools are to keep the kids in the neighborhood from drowing accidentally. I could care leas about those brats. I just want to keep the geese out of my pool.

So, Spartacus and AOC did the deed, at least according to Swallwell, who has just outed them.

I think Booker would be worse. What do you think?

The portrayal of Spartacus by Hollywood is always amusing. He was a Thracian....who were tattooed barbarians known for drinking rituals to their God of Wine. Even the Thracian women had full body tattoos, and very few morals. They were always fragmented because they chose fighting over farming every single time. Spartacus was a thug.

Thracian was also one of the fighting styles gladiators used - sword and buckler. It has been tossed around that saying he was 'a thracian' was a cover for a Roman who had been broken down to the gladiator ranks which would explain why he was able to lead his slave army with such success.

It isn't a political or economic system, it is a religious heresy built on the sins of pride, envy, and wrath, and that it why it never loses its appeal. It says that "You ARE the best, society is unfair, and all the people with things you want must given them to you, and the people you hate DESERVE to be hated."

It's really quite simple.

Yeah, Franco himself was apolitical, but the True Believers in the Phalange wanted more radical change, and there is a credible case that he packed them all off to the Eastern Front in the Blue Division for a reason.

Solved two problems at once - kept Hitler off his back and got rid of the radicals.

Yes, the wokification of Gamers was a little earlier and the purges led to the creation of counter-revolutionaries like Sargon of Akkad who were all veterans when the culture war came to Hollywood a few years later.

119 Americans have a unique obsession with Nazis. In Europe, the Nazis have lots of competition and there were many countries where the Communists were much, much worse, and so (I'm talking about the Baltics specifically) their "honored veterans" were in the SS.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has created a special team of criminal investigators to root out immigration fraud, equipping newly designated special agents with expanded law enforcement powers to investigate, arrest and prosecute violators and even denaturalize cheaters.

"We're going to get to a place where people are going to know that if they file, and they're going to file something fraudulently, or they're not giving us their full story, we're going to find that," United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow told Just The News.
...

Edlow announced the initiative in September under a final rule that allows the agency to hire and train 1811-classified officers who can carry firearms, execute warrants and handle cases from start to finish without always referring them to ICE.

We tend to forget that neither Italy nor Germany were what we think of those two countries today. Italy in particular had the Papal States, the Southern Districts, the Alpine Districts, Venice, and a couple of other city-states, none of whom particularly cared for the other and often times were at war internally as well. "Ruling" Italy was a crap shoot at best. Germany had parts of Prussia, parts of France, and who knows what all, and they likewise did not necessarily get along well. Sometimes it was Catholic vs. Protestant, but more often it was this ruling duchy against that one.

Each was a microcosm of the rest of Europe. More tribal than pre-Columbian America.

168 9 I didn't think the Left used Hitler and Swastikas for fake hate crimes now since their Muslim allies do it for real.

What makes you think it's fake?
Posted by: Oddbob at May 04, 2026 09:24 PM (vTZFs)

I think the post says it wasn't fake by saying the Left doesn't do fake hate crimes using the Swastika right now.

The partisan political issues and the leftist lawfare don't bother me because that can be defeated.

What has me pessimistic is this trans bullshit and gaslighting about what makes a female. It's absolute insanity and you can't negotiate with insanity.
Posted by: Harry Vandenburg

Odd, I see it the opposite. The transanity is so far out that it simply can't last. It will self-combust. The leftists OTOH have tapped into something much deeper and more persistent.

The Mussolini supporters were the problem. My grandmother got out of there in 1938 when in her words "Mussolini became in love with hitler". Not that he was great before that, but it definitely went to shit after that. Italy then had the civil war when the allied backed southern partisans fought against the northern german backed pro mussolini fascists. My relatives were on the anti Mussolini side. Well, the ones who stayed behind anyway.

182 The thing that I do not get about the Ozempic zombies in Hollywood is:

1) use ozempic to get rid of what you consider to be problem fat.

2) doesn't this mean you have an exit strategy for after the weight is lost. Go off and keep exercising? See if it comes back or you can keep it off?

3) or is this plastic surgery psychosis on a massive scale where they get lost in it?

4) this cannot be good for their brains

197 What sucks is my wife was using Ozempic for its original purpose, treating type ii diabetes. She took a very low dose, and it was helping much more than metformin, which messes with her innards. She coaxed her DR to get the process going so she can go back on it, but the insurance company could be truculent about it. We shall see.

Kind of like Viagra originally made to alleviate hypertension or something.
