I'll be taking most of tomorrow off and then Labor Day too. I have some actual newsy posts for tomorrow for the first part of the day, then it'll be silly stuff.

It will probably be a slow news day as it usually is on a Friday before a weekend.

If there's big news, I'll pop in just to link it.

The Lindsay Clancy jury will probably announce it is deadlocked, or that they've made child-murder legal for women. I'll post that link the news breaks, unless it breaks so early that JJ covers it.

Otherwise, I'll be relaxing, though I'll be in the comments. So make me laugh.

Dog and deer.

Cat and mouse.

Tiny baby 'roo.

Sylvester Stallone runs lines with a young actor.

A man put GPS trackers on his dog and cat.

Saving a fawn that got trapped in an aqueduct or something. And he's a feisty one so it takes some effort.

Our Shelby would also tell you of the ball in the bottom of the pool. However, he'd ask you to get it for him as he hated the pool water monster. No matter that Mom might die as he'd faithfully stare at me til a human came to agree that I was quite dead.

🚨VP Vance addresses Tucker Carlson's comments on the Trump administration and Abdul El-Sayed:

"I'm not avoiding addressing anything. Everybody knows that Tucker Carlson and I are friends, and I think it's very obvious that Tucker has said somethings that I disagree with. He's said some things about POTUS that I think are just wrong... and I'm not going to play the game where I throw friends under the bus because I have political disagreements with them."

Maria Bartiromo Tossed by Fox

Maria Bartiromo is leaving/left FOX.

The reported explanation is that Fox learned Bartiromo had shared confidential editorial guidance from Fox Business executives with the Trump administration.

The guidance reportedly told staff not to lend credibility to claims that the 2020 election had been stolen. Her producer, Patrick Ignozzi, was reportedly dismissed as well.

There is an interesting parallel to El-Sayed and Hasan Piker, and the calls for the former to repudiate the latter.

Understood, but I think JD is trying to avoid being that guy who backs down to the mob. I'm sure it's a lesson he learned from Trump. He should have distanced himself quietly and discreetly when it became obvious that Tucker had gone off the reservation. As it is now, he has no good choices.

Posted by: Archimedes at September 03, 2026 07:48 PM (Riz8t)

42 Do you not have any longtime friends who have opposing political views?

I admit, JD and Tucker are both in the public eye all the time and that makes what they say and do visible To everyone, but does that mean they hane to publicly hate on each other? It doesn’t mean JD agrees with any of the horseshit coming out of tuckers pie hole.

Perhaps he’s trying to be an example of, we don’t publicly destroy people we disagree with. Even those we vehemently disagree with.

Yes, some of the crap Tucker says is ludicrous and disgusting and offensive.

Or maybe Tucker has something on JD.

Trump dropped people when he saw they did not suit his vision, were antithetical to his direction. Vance is trying to force people to accept Cucker under the "Big Tent" falacy. This is like shoving amnesty down our throats back in the day. We won without amnesty, quite the opposite, and the man who will not be afraid to kick Cucker in the ass, and tell everyone the truth about him should be the head of R ticket.

A panda walks into a bar. He sits down and orders a burger and fries. The guy next to him is dumbfounded. When the panda is finished eating it stands up, draws a gun and shoots the bartender. He begins to walk out and is at the door when the guy who was sitting next to him works up the courage to call him out.

“H-hey, pal, what’s the big idea?”

The panda turns and says:

She might have expectations. Thankfully it's not an IRL girl, just a goofy streamer I'm trying to make laugh.

80 72 I'm reading Maria was indeed fired for cause. She wanted to do a story about Chinese interference in the 2020 election. The Fox suits quashed it. She took photos of the emails she received and sent them to the Trump administration.

81 The Lindsay Clancy jury will probably announce it is deadlocked, or that they've made child-murder legal for women.

No, it's not like that at all! We're just expanding abortion rights beyond the third trimester.

83 Maria sent screenshots of whatever she received from her bosses, and somebody in the Trump administration taked back to the network, and they fired her, sounds like. That somebody might have been Trump himself. Because Bartiromo does not communicate with flunkies, just talks to the boss himself.

I've read she's going the Office of Management and Budget to work on fraud stuff.

87 Wonder how VP Vance did today.

He tried to make people feel guilty about asking him about His deep frienship with Cucker, and framed it as some kind of intolerance study. There is that.

91 Yeah castles sound great until it comes down to living in one. Mark Steyn was invited to interview QE II at Windsor Castle. He said it was cold and clammy. The Queen met him in her office, which was 12'X12' and the only kind of warm room in the place. Liz had a little $30 quartz heater under her desk blowing on her legs, like a million secretaries in America do in the winter. Rich folks hang in one small room near the kitchen, no matter how palatial the estate.

A conservative being close friends with Tucker isn't as bad as a Democrat being close friends with Hasan Piker.

But not by much.
