Usual reminders for little ones is an awesome idea. However, she is 15, she knows what a clean room looks like. I told her when we put it all back together, if I come by and see it looking like trash, there will be no warnings. It will be gone. She asked if I could just yell like regular moms.

BREAKING: An armed suspect identified as Jeanine John Taele, 38, was arrested at Trump National Golf Course after allegedly monitoring security preparations ahead of President Trump’s visit, authorities said.

Police said they later recovered an illegally-modified AR-style rifle, body armor, high-capacity magazines, ammunition and notebooks containing “concerning statements” from his home.

She is not allowed to have anything but water up there, either. She has more clothes than she needs, clearly, so doing laundry can stretch out for a loooonnnggg time. We packed a huge box of books to donate, I threw out a ton of stuffed animals, kept a few special ones, threw out 8 billion markers and colored pencils. She still has a ton, even after the purge. She has her own attached bathroom - lots of 1/2 empty lotion and potion bottles strewn across everywhere. Gone. She was suddenly inspired to organize her make up drawer before that disappeared off the counter and is now folding laundry. Her big sisters warned her - if you see mama coming with black trash bags, she is not playing. She is absolutely going to throw that stuff out. 🤣

Is it just my imagination, or is the Democratic Party putting forward more absolute loons at one time, at all levels of government, than ever before during this election cycle? In the interest of truth in labeling, I believe the donks should be compelled to accept the following coat of arms, which I have taken the liberty of describing using heraldic language:

Two butterfly nets in saltire, surmounted by a savage statant affronté in a straitjacket, on the dexter a cuckoo bird close guardant, on the sinister a dodo bird close guardant.

The "savage" in heraldry, incidentally, is typically depicted as a naked, bearded human figure, covered in hair or leaves. Perfect.

99 After their slave revolt, Haiti’s founder ordered the killing of all white people on the island. Soldiers went house to house killing thousands including women and children.

They took full control, purged the population they blamed, and turned the richest colony in the Caribbean into the poorest and most dysfunctional country in the Western Hemisphere.

Today, their descendants demand entry into the West they fought to escape, refuse to return to the mess they and their ancestors created, and are for some reason strongly convinced that borders are racist.

Except they say "so what" to everything they are caught doing, before Trump, during Trump, after Trump, and long before Trump. Bill Clinton was so what. Ted Kennedy was so what. Robert Byrd was so what. They're all so what.

Every time. Kind of their thing.

This truly is Trump's fault. The TDS is a big factor in letting their freak flags fly.

109 Braenyard, you know how we scream about historical narratives that are loaded on one side or another of a political or social viewpoint, and refer to such "political revisions" or "historical parsing" as revisionist history or pure cherry picked propaganda?

So, that is what you have posted. Haiti is a far more nuanced history that has few heroes, and lots of bad actors making gobs of money out of the Haitian people.
Among them is the US government.
Everyone, including Haitian politicians, are responsible for the shithole Haiti is today.

I believe there were German...soldiers?... on the island that they legally declared to be negroes and allowed to live.

Fun fact! The Haitian slave revolt and subsequent genocide likely resulted in the prolonging of slavery in America. Slave owners were shit scared they'd be murdered if their slaves were suddenly freed. Instead, we got a brutal civil war.

Thanks, Haiti!

121 Lucy is finally feeling a bit better. The infected cyst at the base of her tail burst while I was out of town. I took her to the emergency vet when I got home and they drained it and gave her a shot of abx and some pain meds. It’s still ghastly looking, but she’s feisty and purring and eating.

Scared the crap out of me though. It was nasty and stank.

She said follow up as needed. They were an emergency vet, not my regular. But the office staff was awesome (despite the facial piercings and tats and they guy wearing a sting of pearls). And the delineated pronouns on their badges. They were very professional and sensitive and skilled. All of them.

It was a bit more of a drive, but I may seek out their regular services, I was so impressed.

Posted by: polynikes at August 04, 2026 09:01 PM (KC5Lt)

actually those facts are well known. The ones that aren't listed here are the Leclerc expedition that sought to re-enslave Haiti after the French Republic declared them free, and the genocidal acts by the Leclerc expedition carried out, including murdering every native troop the French had under their control as the first act of depopulating the island prior to importing new slaves.
This explanation does not include the harsh forced repayment for each "slave freed" when the Leclerc expedition fled from the island, and it does not discuss the severe damage forced currency conversions from US banks to repay loans foisted on Haiti's economy.

I've known some Haitians, and upper class ones, not the sorts that live in Cite Soleil - a friend of mine had contact there and hated it. Haiti is a terrible place, and it is not that way due to some inherent fault of the Haitians. They had lots of help in degradation
