12 That last Pittsburgh Scanner entry....Someone is hiding something!

13 One of my favorite line from MXC was an episode featuring office workers. A young woman says hi to the Captain and starts the obstacle and Vic Ramano says, "She was recently fired for using her Out basket as an In basket".

14 Mystery click music video was… no surprise at all.

Bunzo nachitos, meece amigas. Hope y'all are as well as can be expected or better.

17 Pittsburgh Scanner
South Side. S 21st Street. Caller said that there is a fire in the bathroom. Also said everyone and the cat made it outside.

What's weirder:

1) "OMG A FIRE CALL THE COPS!"

B) Everyone and the cat was in the bathroom? Was a Batman water pistol involved?

38 I'm sorry to say that I know what some faggoty men (or Democrat Congressmen or Miss Lindsay) will do with the Glow-in-the-Dark Itty Bitty Celery. It will show up on CT scans and be an accident.

Working for 5yrs in an ED/Trauma unit made me think this way.

I am enjoying so much the UK and Europeans loving the USA and saying basically fake news told them not to love us, our food, our hospitality and our college stadiums. Some don't want to leave. I don't watch the games I watch the fan's youtubes.

I think we should have a revolving deportation turnstile and allow good people who will love America in for every barbarian we ship off to El Salvador or wherever they came from.

No worries! Got it covered... the Big Boxes of Triscuits were on sale at my preferred grocery today. Bought several.

46 "A giraffe is on the loose in the Texas Hill Country…"

Just a short hop to Oklahoma. We were on the watch.

Wild animal preserves and such like do leak critters now and then. Kangaroos. Tigers. Always amusing, in a "hope they don't eat me" value of amusing.

One of my favorite stories was a few years ago, an older Oklahoma feller is driving along at night on a rural road, when he suddenly shouts to his wife, "ELEPHANT!" I can imagine recognizing such an unexpected beast, even reacting in time not to hit it (as we're used to dodging deer or loose cattle or horses), but I think I'd need a several seconds of processing time to be able to verbally identify it.

"Looky that, honey! Don't that look like one o' them gee-raffs blocking the road…?" 💥crash!💥

47 Is it really that difficult to spot a giraffe?

I think they're born that way.

Except for Kipekee, but she didn't live long.

48 There was a funny X video today. A British woman has returned to England from the world cup and is staring at a plate of beans on toast. And she begins to weep.

49 The hill country is pretty much all of central Texas so it covers a lot of area. There is a lot of surprising game on private ranches in the area. Big variety of Antelope that you usually only see in Africa. And giraffes...

51 Some of the hurricanes Florida got, are why so many invasive species got loose. The zoos broke containment.

52 T-Rex...I happen to like Eye of the Tiger and thank you for the music.

My husband and I have found the most horrible, idiotic, nauseating series to watch called Sweet Magnolias. It wins in all categories of very bad cinema. This should tell you how bad it is (even worse than Virgin River) for dialogue and acting and make up. We mock them and blow through the ghey parts that make us gag.

Because, you see, there is a gay couple, of course there is.Plus 3 married couples who always have problems and idiotic dialogue of "unpacking problems" or a tequila night where the women "pour it out." One woman, bless her, is the size of a tank. And their make up is not good at all. Have mercy!

Another woman has the teeth of a horse and a fake "refined" Southern drawl we mock a whole lot. She's probably our favorite and has about 5 hairstyles per show. She just got married and then sang to her groom at the reception to our glee.

My husband calls them the Fagnolias vs Magnolias. We are not even sure why we subject ourselves to this punishment, yet we do. It is very bad and if renewed I do believe it is a sign of end times.

You can snack with the lights off. You can piss off Trick-or-Treaters initially, but watch their faces change when the realize they possess a radioactive vegetable. You can use them to line your sidewalk instead of those stand-alone solar lights. You can feed them to your Guinea Pig and watch them glow in the dark as well.

59 My brother had a D8 CAT - think his was a few years older than the one in the video. It used a cable pulley to raise & lower the blade instead of hydraulics. Essentially, the weight of the blade was more than sufficient to push it as deep into the ground as you wanted.. I found that astounding. Also, the starter motor was a 2 cylinder gas engine... significantly larger than what you'd find on a lawn mower. Pure awesomeness

Estimated 100k dead. Which seems like a lot until you see big buildings pancaked all the way down.

I still choose earthquakes over tornadoes and hurricanes, both I have lived through. So far so good on the earthquakes, but you never know.

63 Christy,
I watched maybe a season and a half of Sweet Magnolias then just couldn't anymore...

64 I expect Trump to push and highlight a very big assistance effort for Venezuela due to the earthquake (and, looking at the structural damage, the after-shocks that will probably bring down still more buildings, though presumably already emptied of people). We are the biggest and best at disaster relief (a part of the former USAID - obviously one doing what the public thought it was doing - that few knew or know about).

Israel has one of the best search/rescue capabilities for earthquake situations (including canines). Expect them to be on the ground there quickly too.

Decent quake off Ifate prefecture in Tohoku, Japan (northern Honshu), but so far no damage or serious tsunami reports.

One British guy went to a Texas rodeo where cowboys were bucked off steers, then a steer's horn threw one guy several feet on his head.

The Brit guy said Americans are made different. That that would have stopped the rodeo and the ambulance would haul him off. He said instead a few boys grabbed him, sat him against the wall, and gave him a beer.

I had to laugh at what they think. Texas has made a huge impression on them in both diet and outrageous patriotism. Thanks, y'all.

Haven't been in a tornado but hurricanes are fairly common around here. Fortunately, they usually have lost most of their power by the time the get to this area. Still, no joke.

Earthquakes are different to me. When the earth starts shifting, that seems really bad. The Ring of Fire area is just a matter of when not if.

No, they were great. They're not horrible now, just smaller and not as buttery.

...

101 Problem with earthquakes is your home is probably now broken. It can fall down around your ears maybe not during the quake - probably not during the quake - but at any time over the next few weeks. You have to call in someone to fix all the cracks but that someone is likely working on important city buildings first.

******************

I have an unscientific theory of waiting after a big one somewhere, for a big one on the opposite side of the world. So far it holds true as the plates settle or whatnot.

The largest I've been in was a 6 at 7am when we were still in bed. Instead of staying in bed, on abdomens with pillows over our heads, we ran to the landing and watched the chandelier swing. Not good. I figure we'd be found two floors down in the basement like a couple after Pompeii.

My first, in college, was over a 5 and I was in a basement apt alone. In the kitchen I felt like I was on a ship and thought, "This is weird, I have had no beers to get the spins." Noted the electric clock cord swaying. The house was 100yrs old and I heard walls creaking.

With every earthquake there is a boom before you feel it. Then a bit of sort of vertigo.

Called my friend who verified an earthquake and neither of us knew what to do, being from MS. At the time you were supposed to stand in a doorway, which I think is old news now.

We evacuated six times in 20yrs from hurricanes on the Atlantic. Barrier island. If hit "just right" the Intercoastal and Atlantic would meet over our house. I'm a great swimmer but we decided we did not want to drown in our own home. It gets old to evacuate and in 2005 we did 3 times in about six weeks. Got hit twice by a CAT 3 with little damage. The house was built like a bunker but we took no chances: contractor said it could withstand a tornado with rebar in concrete block every few feet, hurricane code roof, metal shades on every door and window, etc.

Tornadoes, though. Oh, boy. I HATE them. Waiting to basically die if you don't have a shelter. Two years ago one missed us visiting my mother in MS by about 10miles as we watched on radar at night. I hate tornadoes.

Earthquakes? I guess if that's how I go it's better than watching your death on radar.

Taking bets on which goes off first, Juan de Fuca or Madrid. Either should be devastating.

Former nursing classmate lives on Bainbridge Island. I always watch for tsunamis there when they happen. That would not be good.

Don't ask questions unless you are sure you want the answer.

141 I don't if they're still active, but 4 cellists that went by the name Apocalyptica used to do hard metal covers. My favorite is still "Nothing Else Matters." 2Cellos was similar, but they did more pop songs. Their video for "Thunderstruck" is epic.

Ha!

143 >>Movie tsunamis are always walls of water 300 feet high. But all the actual tsunami videos I've seen are a tide that doesn't stop.

The later is closer to the truth and if anything more damaging. More damage is done and people die from water than wind in a hurricane and it's the relentless flooding that does it.

June 22 - Greenwich Village. The Comedy Cellar. Caller states a heckler in a Ben Roethlisberger jersey is loudly explaining Every. Single. Joke. Caller would like assistance bouncing him.

3h - 4th Street. Shady Oaks Rest Home. A man with a long mustache is pushing all the wheelchair-bound residents up against the walls.

Caller says 132nd Street has been reset to 131st Street and suspects that something was nuked.

Still around.

147 I've been monitoring the weird stuff amazon is hawking during their whole multi-day prime day. I'm seeing a lot of laser hair removal. Are women really just blasting themselves with these guns to remove hair? They are in the hundreds of dollar range. How does that not burn your skin? I'd probably pay hundreds of dollars if it added hair instead. Or made all my celery glow.

A few years ago, meerkats at the St. Louis Zoo tunneled out of their enclosure-- and then dug their way out of the zoo entirely.

Debating whether to go anyway. I think the local KofC has a bus.

Jun 24- Four people were in the park saying, "I'm Mary Cloggenstein from Brattleboro, Vermont." Two others were yelling, "I'm Ben Roethlisberger!"

Jun 24- Somebody started ranting, then disappeared into thin air. For a few seconds, the text "CBD was here" appeared where the person was, then it, too, vanished.

153 I don't if they're still active, but 4 cellists that went by the name Apocalyptica used to do hard metal covers. My favorite is still "Nothing Else Matters." 2Cellos was similar, but they did more pop songs. Their video for "Thunderstruck" is epic.

Still active! They're touring right now.

They've done a lot of collaborative work that I like, too.

154 I once laughed so hard at an MXC episode that a contact lens popped out. I think it was Sperm Whalers. Doesn't matter; it was a great show.

155 Tidal waves don’t worry me.

It’s the actual shaker. The ground turns liquid and waves. Actual waves going down the street. My dad was on the golf course during the Nisqually quake in 2001. He said the fairway rolled.

I looked out our living room window with my Marine in my arms and my oldest clinging to my leg in an archway in the house. The waves rolled down the street. It was amazing. And kind of beautiful.

156 Gov. Gavin Newsom met this week with his likely replacement, Democratic candidate Xavier Becerra, at Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant for the first time since Becerra won this month’s primary election. Becerra is expected to win November’s general election because of California’s Democratic majority.

The two lawmakers chatted over a mid-morning meal Wednesday at the Richmond District restaurant, a beloved family-owned San Francisco institution.

Tia Margarita is ten times better.

157 Olen Steinhauer has a novel Bridge of Sighs, part of a series about Commie eastern Europe.
Recommend them highly.
And a 7 foot giraffe would stand out in the Hill Country.
Only a Texan is impressed by the hills there, like upper midwesterners thinking the Black Hills are beautiful.

158 Evenin', all. Looks like we're talking about earthquakes tonight. I got a notice on my phone this morning that there was a 6.0 (initial reading) in Northern California, a couple hundred miles from my location. I didn't feel anything, but I was driving at the time. If Cascadia lets loose then everything here will get pancaked, but I'm far enough inland (with high terrain between me and the Pacific) that I won't have to worry about tsunamis.

159 Just checked. Reports that Gracie the Giraffe has been recaptured are not valid, says sheriff.

161 Something I didn't know until today:

In the UK, they have something they call "watershed TV." Only shows that are suitable for children can be shown before 9pm. That's the watershed. After 9pm, adult programming can be broadcast.

Quick Hits

Karmelo Anthony has a "dream team" of race hustler lawyers fighting for his right to murder white people when he feels like it.

A team of elite civil rights attorneys announced they will represent Karmelo Anthony in the appeal of his murder conviction for fatally stabbing fellow high school athlete Austin Metcalf.

Texas NAACP President Gary Bledsoe, veteran appellate attorney Russell Wilson, civil rights lawyer Brooke Cluse from Ben Crump Law, and others have joined forces in an effort to overturn Anthony's conviction and 35-year prison sentence, CBS News reported.

They will conduct an independent review of the trial to determine whether any errors occurred during the trial in their pursuit of an appeal, the lawyers said in their announcement on Monday.

NY-13 nominee Daraliza Avila Chevalier is a founder of CUAD. The org's stated goal?

"Eradication of Western civilization"

The loathsome Dan Goldman lost his bid for reelection in NYC's 10th Congressional district to -- get this -- an anti-Jewish communist.

Dan Goldman losing is truly hilarious because he has one of the most liberal voting records in Congress and is unapologetic about being willing to tell any incendiary lie about Republicans, but refused to pledge allegiance to third-world terrorists on the other side of the planet and was, therefore, not radical enough for the new Democrat base.

Also losing last night: Jack "Kennedy" Schlossberg, who I would call a nepo baby but don't you need an actual job to be a nepo baby? All this fag does is troll people online and appear on leftwing chat shows to embarrass his family. He's like an even less-accomplished Ron Reagan Jr.

Against all odds, Manhattan voters made the right call on Tuesday: They handily rejected Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old influencer with four trust funds and no actual employment history, in New York's 12th Congressional District.

More from Andrew Styles:

Against all odds, Manhattan voters made the right call on Tuesday.

Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old Kennedy scion who has never worked a real job, was handily defeated in the Democratic primary for New York's 12th Congressional District, sitting in third place with less than 11 percent of the vote. George Conway, the mentally disturbed Lincoln Project cofounder and frequent guest on The Jim Acosta Show, sat in fifth, trailing not just Schlossberg but also a woman named Nina Schwalbe.

Schlossberg's defeat is worth celebrating for several reasons.

The Kennedy family is a toxic cabal of bloated, boat-shoed sex pests and trust-fund layabouts still living off the fortune amassed by Joseph P. Kennedy, the wealthy patriarch best known for his efforts to make peace with Adolf Hitler. Tuesday's outcome suggests the family's once-mythic reputation is in the midst of a long-overdue correction.

John F. Kennedy, Schlossberg's grandfather, was the Eric Swalwell of the White House, while his great uncle Ted Kennedy was the Eric Swalwell of the U.S. Senate, a reputation he cemented in 1985 by making a "waitress sandwich" with Chris Dodd at a local fine-dining establishment.

To be fair to Swalwell, there's no evidence (that we know of) to suggest he's ever fled the scene of an accident after a woman drowned in his car. Ted Kennedy, on the other hand, continued to serve in public office until 2009, more than 40 years after Mary Jo Kopechne's death.

Days before the election, Schlossberg told the Wall Street Journal he would view his loss in the primary as proof that our political system is irrevocably broken. "If I can't do it, then nobody can," he said.

Indeed, if a 33-year-old Kennedy brat with four trust funds and what the New York Times described as "little traditional work experience" can lose a primary in one of the country's wealthiest congressional districts despite being endorsed by David Letterman and spending $1 million of his own inheritance, the American Dream is truly dead.

And of course ultra-cuck George Conway:

Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew

Kellyanne Conway served as Senior Counsel to President Trump in his first term, after having had a senior role in his campaign that went from 1% GOP support in July 2015 to winning the Presidency in November 2016.

Her now ex-husband George Conway, once believing himself to be the best choice to serve as Solicitor General of the United States -- the DOJ Attorney responsible for arguments in front of the Supreme Court -- received the votes of 1 out of every 17 NY Dems who cast ballots for a new Representative in their district yesterday, finishing in 5th place.

He spent $6.65 million and received 1,050 fewer votes than 4th place finisher Nina Schwalbe.

She spent $457,000.

They both finished behind Jack Schlossberg, reported by many in the media to be mentally ill.

If Conway had won or come close, at least some Never Trumpers might have made it official and tried grifting as Democrats. But now that it's proven that no one likes a traitor, the NeverTrumpers will have no choice but continuing their grift of pretending to be "Republicans."

Here's what USAID money was actually paying for:

STUNNING: USAID + THE BIG GRIFT

Looks like USAID supported college tuition for Anwar Aulaqi (Awlaki) who later became a high level al Qaeda terrorist.

Aulaqi falsely claimed he was born in Yemen to secure the financial help via the State Dept. when he was actually a US citizen, born in Las Cruces New Mexico.

Aulaqi would later develop close ties with several 9/11 hijackers and attain leadership status in AQ's Yemen affiliate.

Aulaqi was the godfather of the digital jihad that leveraged his writings and the web to radicalize Americans to AQ's cause.

Aulaqi became the first American targeted for death by the CIA. In 2011, he was killed in a US drone strike.

This 1997 Aulaqi mugshot is for soliciting prostitutes.

A San Francisco socialist politician took a three month "mental health leave" because she just can't even right now.

A lefty member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors who abruptly went on leave at the end of March melted into tears as she explained to her constituents Tuesday why she needed the mental health break.

Supervisor Jacqueline Fielder is set to return to work next Monday, after her absence earlier in the year fueled theories on what motivated the first-term lawmaker to go missing from City Hall meetings for weeks before checking herself in for treatment.

...

In a Tuesday post on Instagram, Fielder said "I left the work I love so much not because I wanted to but because my mental health demanded it."

...

She seemed to attribute her crisis to the pressures of being a politician.

"At the end of the day I'm a human being and a renter, a working class candidate that is now a supervisor," Fielder said, "but I was going 100 miles a hour since early 2023 when I started the campaign for supervisor, and being a grassroots candidate is a lot of elbow grease."

Her medical leave made her realize that she has colleagues and others who share the weight of representing the city with her, she said.

"I'm coming clear-eyed and grounded and eager to serve in this role again," said Fielder, who ended her note on encouraging others dealing with mental health issues to also seek help or take a leave.

Here's a short video of this lefty basketcase.

One of the many rioters in NYC after the Knicks' win dumped and then stole a trash can.

Turns out she is -- or was -- a DEI executive at JP Morgan.

A woman caught on video emptying a public trash can on the street then stealing it during New York City's Knicks championship parade was a director at JPMorgan Chase who was fired Tuesday over the incident, The Post has learned.

Angie Báez, 40, was promoted to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase more than a year ago, according to her LinkedIn profile.

...

Sources say the bank looked into the incident after the video surfaced and a JPMorgan Chase spokesperson told The Post, "This employee is no longer with the company."

Báez could not be reached by The Post for comment Tuesday. Sources noted she had attended the parade in her personal capacity.

I hate rioters, but I also understand that people with low IQ and poor impulse control can get "swept up" in them. I wouldn't be gleeful about her being fired except for the fact that, let's face it, she never should have had a job in the first place.

So nothing lost.

Ever notice the left and their activist media never says anything about Muslims' opposition to the rainbow agenda?

A Muslim mother speaking about a book that Ladybird is promoting during Pride Month.

The book is aimed at children as young as two years old and features two women - who appear to be a couple - with a baby, one of whom is wearing a hijab.

Her comments echo what many parents - of any faith or none - would likely agree with: that some topics are simply too adult for very young children.

She also states, quite openly, that while Muslims can of course live peacefully in a society where LGBTQ values are present, those values are not compatible with her faith.

So many questions.

But the one uppermost in my mind is this: will anyone dare to call this woman bigoted or transphobic?

For being honest about what she believes is appropriate for young children.

And for being honest about her faith.

Or are such accusations reserved for other groups of people who express similar views?

I'd also be very interested to hear what Zack Polanski has to say on this
