Biden offered the UAW his (dubious) support. They told him they didn't want it.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) are not convinced by President Joe Biden's pro-union sentiments, and some members hope for his replacement in the 2024 election, according to the New York Times.
The union announced a historic strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers -- Ford, General Motors and Stellantis -- on Thursday, and workers did not show up to work at three plants on Friday. The self-proclaimed "most pro-union president ever" has sided with the striking UAW, but his policies have not convinced the union members of his support for the middle-class, the NYT reported.
"I think our president is not as strong a president as we need," Jennifer Banks, a 29-year Ford employee who is striking, told the NYT. "I'm hoping somebody can replace him. I hope it doesn't leave me no choice but to vote the other way."
...
"I can't tell when he speaks to the public if he's being told to say it or if he's genuinely saying it," Banks told the NYT, referring to remarks Biden made on Friday.
...
The Biden administration's green agenda that incentives electric vehicle manufacturing has been brought to the center of the strike. The union fears that the transition away from gas-powered vehicles to all-electric vehicles will decrease the demand for labor, Politico reported.

It seems quaint to even bring this up, but the country's debt is now a national security problem.

The U.S. national debt exceeded $33 trillion for the first time ever on Monday, crossing a critical milestone at a time when government spending is already under scrutiny.
The national debt -- which measures what the U.S. owes its creditors -- surged to roughly $33.04 trillion as of Monday afternoon, according to the latest numbers published by the Treasury Department. By comparison, just four decades ago, the national debt hovered around $907 billion.
"The United States has hit a new milestone that no one will be proud of: our gross national debt just surpassed $33 trillion," said Maya MacGuineas, the president of CRFB. "Debt held by the public, meanwhile, recently surpassed $26 trillion. We are becoming numb to these huge numbers, but it doesn't make them any less dangerous."

Bared female breasts warning: Icky new Braun ad features a woman who has had surgery to have her breasts removed in a bout of mental illness using a shaving product for men. She proudly shows off her (elective-surgery) masectomy scars.

I'm of two minds on this one.

A man got ticketed 7 times by his local town government for flying flags from his work truck that criticized Biden.

That sounds bad.

But the flags said "F*ck Joe Biden."

I agree 100% with the sentiment, but I'm not sure I favor vulgarians flying the f-bomb on flags that anyone can see.

A man who was repeatedly ticketed for flying flags from his pickup truck that were aimed at President Joe Biden and his voters has won a big cash settlement with a Louisiana resort town.
The flags were deemed vulgar -- which led to a number of citations targeting a contractor named Ross Brunet, the Associated Press reported.
Brunet, a construction contractor, routinely worked on the island of Grand Isle, Louisiana.
The island had in place an ordinance that barred displays that the community deemed obscene.
According to NBC News, the flags read, "F*** Biden" and "f*** you for voting for him."
From 2021 to 2022, Brunet flew three flags in total from his work truck -- two of which were aimed at Biden and another that called for breast cancer awareness, The
He was given a total of seven citations.

The town will now have to pay him $40,000.

Did you know that Howard Stern is 1, unfunny, and 2, a malignant shut-in, and 3, "a woke m****er f***er"?

And do you suspect these three facts may be related in some way?

Howard Stern recently assigned himself to a lockdown over his fear of a new wave of Covid. Unfortunately, he had to break his self-enforced isolation on Friday.
Stern left his abode to get yet another booster shot.
"I ran out Friday morning. I was over at CVS. Thank you, CVS. I went over there at 9 a.m. and got myself that new vaccine for Covid. F*cking science. This f*cking country is so great," cheered Stern.
The point of the conversation was for Stern to declare he is a proud member of the woke community.
"I hear a lot that I'm not good anymore because I'm woke.
"By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I'm woke. I'll tell you how I feel about it. To me the opposite of woke, is being asleep. And if woke means I can't get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I'm for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you f*cking want.
"I am a woke motherfu*ker, and I love it. I want to be awake. I want to read legitimate news sources. Here's how woke I am. I believe the election was not rigged. I am woke. I think that's a compliment."
We know.
No one would enjoy making fun of Woke Howard more than Old Howard.
Howard Stern rose to fame, atop the media industry, in the 1990s by humiliating the cringing simps of American culture. He is now one of them.

"I want to read legitimate news sources." Hashtag #F*ckingScience."

As someone else said, the Bad Boy of the 80s is now your grandma, except a very uncool, ignorant, MSNBC-addicted version of your sainted grandma. Like your grandma with a very dated, very gross back-tattoo showing Madonna going down on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

4 Someone i know attended an event held by either the Teamsters or the Long Shoreman's Union over the summer.

The union held it at Trump Bedminster, and this was the day after Trump's NYC indictment, so Trump came out and said hi to all the people at the event, and apparently recieved nothing but cheers and applause.

If he can really rally up union voters (well unions where the workers do more than cry in front of their computer or teach kids about butt plugs) hel really make the steal of the 2024 election tough.

📌#Williamsburg | #SC
The pilot of a $100 million F-35 fighter jet ejected from the plane, stating that bad weather caused him to lose control. It seems he bailed out before activating the tracking system. A voice on a Charleston County Emergency Medical Services call reported that the pilot couldn't pinpoint where the plane crashed, attributing it to the weather. The pilot has since been discharged. Military officials haven't disclosed the exact reason for the quick exit, simply labeling it as a "malfunction.

40 I'll just leave this here if anyone is interested. Politico, September 2020:

"Joe Biden has pitched himself to voters as a “union man,” a son of Scranton, Pa., who respects the dignity of work and will defend organized labor if he wins the White House.

To rank-and-file members in some unions, especially the building trades, it doesn’t matter. They’re still firmly in Donald Trump’s camp.

Labor leaders have worked for months to sell their members on Biden, hoping to avoid a repeat of 2016 when Donald Trump outperformed among union members and won the White House...

Those voters, historically a bedrock of Democratic support, shifted away from the party in 2016, according to exit polls."

57 AP: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it is providing $600 million in funding to produce new at-home COVID-19 tests and is restarting a website allowing Americans to again order up to four free tests per household — aiming to prevent possible shortages during a rise in coronavirus cases that has typically come during colder months.

Excellent! I'm on my last free one from when they discontinued them last spring.

We need this. Most Americans want to to be safe and protect others from illness.

I just got my COVID and Flu shots today as well. Thank you President Biden!

I booked at CVS and then was notified that I had to reschedule because they ran out. I asked the man who gave me the shot about it and he said they ran out a few times because of high demand. Good to know so many are getting the shot.

Keep trying, I wasn't able to get a local shot, I had to get one a few towns away.

Finally a leader who handles pandemics well after Trump dismantled the pandemic response. They should throw in a couple of N95 masks while they're at it.

Why?

Posted by: rd at September 20, 2023 06:25 PM (pFpmz)

Because they ain't reconstructin'.
You'd think they'd remove the breast tissue and maybe some skin, but leave the nipple, as that has lots of nerve endings, but no.
My wife had a mastectomy; lost the whole breast and a few lymph nodes too. In her case they did reconstruction.

🚨#BREAKING: The pilot ejected out of the $100 million F-35 jet that went missing due to "bad weather" according to the pilot
📌#Williamsburg | #SC
The pilot of a $100 million F-35 fighter jet ejected from the plane, stating that bad weather caused him to lose control. It seems he bailed out before activating the tracking system. A voice on a Charleston County Emergency Medical Services call reported that the pilot couldn't pinpoint where the plane crashed, attributing it to the weather. The pilot has since been discharged. Military officials haven't disclosed the exact reason for the quick exit, simply labeling it as a "malfunction.

A member of the Republican Party, she previously represented the 20th district in the Indiana Senate.

74 Belgian cyclist Nathan Van Hooydonck has been forced to retire aged 27 due to a heart condition discovered after losing control of his car, his team announced on Wednesday.

“After a series of tests we’ve diagnosed a heart irregularity,” Jumbo-Visma reported. “It provoked the problem that almost cost him his life last week. “This discovery means the end of his professional career,” the team’s statement added.

Belgian cyclist Nathan Van Hooydonck has been forced to retire aged 27 due to a heart condition discovered after losing control of his car, his team announced on Wednesday.

Van Hooydonck raced the Tour de France in July, helping his teammate Jonas Vingegaard win the overall title.

But last week he was lucky to escape with his life when, feeling unwell at the wheel, he caused a multi-car accident at a crossroads in Kalmthout in northern Belgium. Van Hooydonck’s pregnant wife Alicia was also in the vehicle but was unhurt. He was rushed to hospital in a critical condition and was fitted with a heart defibrillator.

“I realise that I was incredibly lucky,” said Van Hooydonck, who left hospital in Antwerp on Wednesday.

128 I looked at the photo of the trangender shaving. As Jim said since there is no reconstruction, there is no breast fold to hide the mastectomy scar. So you get a wide scar( some people heal that way) and it is very visible. Since there is no scar running up to the nipple, that is its real, atrophied nipple. I personally don’t think it’s a bad job. . Just a very unnecessary mutilation of a mentally ill person.

141 Speaking of elective surgery, I am going to be having several surgeries performed in California over the coming year, because there aren't any qualified to do these particular surgeries anywhere near here. Asked the insurance company if they covered travel and lodging costs in those cases.

Their response? Apparently they will cover travel and lodging if you have to travel for an organ transplant (good to know) bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, etc.), "gender-affirming" surgery, and FOR AN ABORTION.

Gee, guys, nice to know that you will foot the travel bill for people who want to lop off perfectly healthy tissue in pursuit of some crazy notion, or for those who want to KILL THEIR BABY (I do not include "mother's life at risk in this category), but not for someone who needs to have diseased tissue removed and reconstructive surgery afterwards (no, I don't have cancer)?

Nice.

216 214 Had a live in Lady friend, 7th grade MATH TEACHER, who could not figure out a 15% tip in her head. Always cracked me up.... especially when her WAITRESS DAUGHTER would tell her immediately what it should be.

===========

That's the reason I usually tip 20 or 25%. Well that, and that I used to be a waiter too.

Tell your kids to learn math. Jobs that require math pay more on average, basically because fewer people are comfortable with numbers.

If you can figure 10% you can figure 15%.
10% +1/2 (10%).
I guess people can't add in their heads either.

217 "The Government however had taken control of those levers of power. THEY said they were overseeing the economy."

To the extent that we expect the government to 'oversee the economy,' we are at fault. The sin of 1913.

218 She looked at me like I did that thing in her mouth.

In all fairness, how many times have you seen that look ? Enough to recognize it immediately ? For example, did you have a reaction of "wow, she did that look yet again" ?

223 How can plastic surgeons do such great work in breast augmentation and breast reduction, but every FEMALE BREAST REMOVAL has gross prominent scars and looks like it was done by a butcher who hated their patient?

Why?
Posted by: rd at September 20, 2023 06:25 PM

--------------------------

For reduction and augmentation, the scars can be mostly hidden under the breasts, where they meet the chest. For complete removal, there's no hiding the scar.

224 Merrick Garland is the living embodiment of the "walk around in a skinsuit" phase of the Marxist infiltration of the government

225 FBI terrorizes ordinary Americans and Garland whines about mean words. Man up and be the Beria you know you want to be. Pussy.

226 The UAW should offer to cut their wage increase demands in exchange for a higher COLA Increase.

Tell the automakers that they will settle for a 4% wage increase if they come through with a Guaranteed 150% COLA.

We know inflation is coming, they should plan for it.

Checked out at a store last weekend. Total was $15.57. Gave him a $20 bill and $0.57 in change. He had to use the calculator on his phone to figure out the change.

Yes. Math is hard.

233 I might quit tomorrow over DIE shit. Got an Email to RSVP to some drag queen story hour training shit and I will not partake. Fuck them and their mental illness awareness crap. Fortunatly my name isn't actually on the list and I have conflicting engagements.

I have to sit on my ass out front and wait for paychecks to come by FedEx. Takes sometimes 3 or 4 hours for them to get there. I can't shirk that responsibility.

234 Troy Nehls probably got the best Witness Protection gig anywhere, because how you gonna tell me he's really a guy from WI, who became a police officer in TX, then a congressman, and not that he was a Boston mobster for 30 years?

There only thing better would have been if he told Nadler to "shut up and go back to eating your pie over there fatty"

235 The debt appears to follow a mathematical progression completely independent of governance. It’s the greatest evidence of the wealth pump idea put forth in the book End Times about elite overproduction.

Weingarten: Who's scruffy-looking?

I just recently learned that she is arguably not a spinster in that she's married (to a woman, natch).

Maybe. I'll say it's something much more simple. It's Keynes, nothing more. At the end of the day, the man said we'll all be dead.

The folks in charge don't care. They're burning everything down. But still, let's all be respectful of the folks burning it all down.

I agree. In fact we are saying the same thing. Loot as much as you can (wealth pump).

Growing up in a NJ neigborhood in the 1950's made up of people from Eastern Europe, I have no problem understanding her. Both my parents were first generation American, Mom was Hungarian, Dad was Slovak, and both were fluent in the language of their parents. Till this very day, when someone from Eastern Europe speaks to me in English, I can usually tell immediately what country they are from their accent.
