26 After polls told us George Conway and that Schlossberg (aka JFK III) were leading or at least competing with each other to replace Nadler, neither got more than 11% of the Democratic primary vote. Currently two people I never heard of (who are doubtless socialist scum) are above 30% of the vote each. Apparently you can't even buy a Democratic primary with crooked polling anymore.

I don't understand this pessimism. Almost no states even allowed concealed carry in the 1980s. Now more than half the states allow it without a permit. How is this right being gradually lost? I'm all for vigilant defense of liberties, but doomerism seems like the opposite of that, since it demoralizes people.

We do...when deployed to a combat zone. As much as I love all the perks of military service (as I fly with free luggage for showing my ID), at some point, it is just a job/career, and already pays pretty well, with full retirement at 20 years of service. At some point...it's enough.

Although, the Left never says that for teachers, so...dump more largesse on me (and police)!!!

I have about 30 or more pairs of various ref socks, made the same as NFL and soccer pro leagues, and they’re fantastic.

Years ago I was in Kauai and one day I took a tour of the Na Pali coast with a guy who called himself Captain Zodiac. Rubber Zodiac boat.

He was a surfer from California who moved to Hawaii to surf and did the boat thing as a second job for beer money. His real job was being paid by the state as a poi farmer which grew naturally on his property. He literally did nothing other than let the state send people in to harvest it and cash checks.

Hawaiians love their poi.

Busy booking campgrounds for August RV trip. We're tentatively planning on Mesa Verde NP, Dodge City, Ks, and continue east possibly as far as Hannibal, Mo for a steamboat dinner cruise on the mighty Mississip' and maybe the Ozarks before heading west toward home along the Mother Road (Rte 66).

Also getting for a week in Yosemite in July with about 20 in-laws, out-laws and conmon-laws, sons and daughters and associated hangers-on.

Hope this finds my gray-box friends well. It seems someone is missing lately, no?

There was a shot of Emma Peele hopping out of her car and going into a building. We only see her from the back. It was kind of obvious that they used a double for this mundane shot, as the double had a butt twice the size of Diana Rigg's.

195 I liked new Dr Who until the "Midnight" episode (David Tennant). The episode itself is brilliant, one of the best Dr Who shows ever, and (tellingly) one that Russell Davies didn't want to air (despite the fact that he wrote it).

There's a line where one of the passengers asks the Dr why they should trust him, and he says "Because I'm clever." The other passengers object that they're not dullards, but the point was made...the New Who writers weren't interested in telling interesting stories, they wanted to show how clever they were in comparison to us idiotic viewers.

And that's where my interest died. Tried a few episodes after, but all I could see was the smugness. "Look how clever I am. Look how creative I am. Enjoy my genius, proles."

One of my most memorable vacation trips ever, when I was a teen, was when my father hired an Indian guide with some Navajo ponies back into the Canyon. There’s a whole network of dwellings back there that you can’t to except on horseback, and you have to hire a Navajo guide because parts of it are outside the Nat park and on their land.

Some of the dwellings are in surprisingly good states of preservation, because they’re so far back no one gets to them. The attitude of the Navajo guide at the ruins was interesting, and he obviously thought we were kind of nuts for wanting to go in. “Not our houses, not our people. Places of the dead.” was all he would say, and he was clearly uncomfortable with the idea of getting too close to them.

He's a former child magician -- very on point for a Dem politician, still professionally fooling people -- and insider wonk. That's an understatement. He's been an aide of various types -- chief of staff, director of policy, etc. -- to Michael Bloomberg, Jerry Nadler, Letitia James, and Kathy Hochul.

What won it for him (aside from Bloomberg's almost $10M) is that his main opponent, Alex Bores, is a former data scientist whose big achievement was sponsoring NY state's AI regulation, to take effect on Jan. 1. So, Bores's main selling point also drew organized opposition.

237 213 Eh, not really. I mean someone like our resident Seattle nurse should be concerned, but she already knows what that place is like.

The problem modern leftists have is that they are an entirely urban phenomenon. All successful revolutionaries had the support or at least the acquiescence of the countryside. Mao and the Khmer Rouge at least in theory venerated the peasants (though in practice they starved like everyone else).

People don't seem to understand this because they think about Paris in 1789 or Petrograd in 1917 when they think of revolution. But those revolutions didn't just benefit from two of the most inept governments before Keir Starmer's premiership, they had peasant support for a while (think 'the Great Terror in France and "Land, Peace and Bread" with the Bolsheviks). Even the Nazis started off with rural East Prussia as their electoral stronghold. Wholly urban revolutions don't work and invariable get crushed. If support for the Spanish Republic had been confined to Madrid and Barcelona as popular memory would have people believe, the Nationalists wouldn't even have had to appoint Franco as their leader. But southern peasants were literal Anarchists!

Repeal the 16th amendment. Take out the 17th while you’re at it. 18th has already been repealed. You’re never going to repeal the 19th!

240 Geezer Golf Update
Did my best round of the year today, but the hat tip goes to my colleague geezer Jim who hit a Hole In One on #16 with a 147 yard drop onto the green and into the hole.
Well Done!!!

The Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma City is great.
Find one of the pueblo tribes to visit near Albuquerque.
The Petrified Forest Nat Park literally straddles I40.
If you have stamina (240 steps down and 240 steps UP) for it, Walnut Canyon N.M.just east of Flagstaff is interesting .

242 I saw the most amazing piece of horsemanship I’ll ever see on that trip, right in front of me. One of the riders with us was a girl of about 20 or 21, who was clearly experienced with horses, and was also very cute, in an athletic way. I was about 14 and was completely enamored with her, of course. I was following her, and her pony was skittish that day (for no good reason) as we came back down into a dry river bed, that pony decided his saddle bothered him so with no warning he threw himself on his back, to try and get the saddle off or something.

Obviously she could have been badly hurt or even killed by this, and probably should have been. But I remember like it was yesterday, (and I had the best view of anyone) that as that horse went down she smoothly and instantly brought her right foot up to the saddle and launched herself off his back, going into a sweet tuck and roll and landing unscathed a few feet away. Sandy river bottom, so no harm done.
We were pissed at the horse (I think he was moved to pack duty) but mostly we just stood with our mouths open at how effortless she made saving her life look.

Mad-manny's commies are headed to federal office, where their lunatic anti-American ideology will be amplified nationwide by the commie press.

Then there's LA. Nithya Raman is DSA and she's ahead in the race. She'll be California governor in 2034. Lots more commies will spring up in her footsteps.

Can welfare income be taxed at, say, 110%?

Oh ha ha. Just kidding. Of course.😒

245 The problem modern leftists have is that they are an entirely urban phenomenon. All successful revolutionaries had the support or at least the acquiescence of the countryside. Mao and the Khmer Rouge at least in theory venerated the peasants (though in practice they starved like everyone else).

Not so fast.

The Vendee were counter-revolutionaries. Like Russian peasants, they eventually turned on the revolution, but they did so too late.

There will always be an elliptical 30% in any group of human gathering. Quiet possibly in other mammals also.

I am right there with you. These DSA commies have the bit in there mouth and they are getting traction. The consequences if they get national power are seriously problematic. The first group that will get targeted are the Jewish Americans.
