Automotive finds…

Old school muscle…

74 Formula 400, fully built, short throw 4spd, disk brake and suspension upgrade. Didn’t hear it run, but obviously a LOT of work went into it… And a lot of folks stopped to look at it!

And just plain old school…

67 C-10, original owner still driving it. It’s had two paint jobs, but this is the original color. He admitted he did ‘upgrade’ the drivetrain to a 327 and a Powerglide. It’s got a few spots  he is cleaning up before he sends it to the paint shop, and a wiring issue with the @#$%% side lights (as he said). Oh, and disk brakes…

He shrugged and admitted it was a ‘little warm’ to drive in the summer, since it didn’t have AC, and he has a ‘new’ GMC as a daily driver… 🙂

And then there was this…

They are making no bones about where they stand! I just hope they never drive it in Dallas, Austin, or Houston…

Wow…

Thanks to reader John S for pointing me to this one…

The Army National Guard is actively recruiting for a job position called “Internment/Resettlement Specialist.” People as young as seventeen years old are eligible for the gig, which includes “Search/Restraint” as “Some of the Skills You’ll Learn,” according to an Army National Guard job posting with a job location listed as Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, military documents show that the military can detain civilians here in America, including U.S. citizens. A leaked U.S. Headquarters of the Army document entitled “INTERNMENT AND RESETTLEMENT OPERATIONS” describes an official category of detained person called “civilian internee.” A Department of Defense Directive published below discussed “civilian internees” and made it clear that military detainees can be U.S. citizens.

Full article, HERE.

HERE is the actual announcement…

And there really IS an Army manual on Internment… Issued in 2010… Note the distribution!

It’s stuff like this that just makes you wonder about the ‘real’ intentions of the left…

Which one will we see…

In Kabul next week??? They have already been directed to destroy all ‘sensitive’ documents and computers…

I had a conversation the other night with a former Army guy who’d done a couple of tours… Apologies for the language…

Yes, I remember both Vietnam, I was flying out of Cubi during the fall of Vietnam, and participated in both Frequent Wind, and Eagle Pull. Also the little op known as the Mayaguez rescue. Our crew took this picture when we found the MV Mayaguez, although the Air Force took the credit since they ‘processed’ the film at Utapao… (which STILL pisses me off)…

Yes, those are two Swift boats tied up alongside the Mayaguez, but they were crewed by Khmer Rouge, and shot at us every time we flew by (thankfully they were lousy shots).

I also knew folks that were involved in the attempted hostage rescue in Tehran in 1979 that failed…

The one thing that kept running through my mind yesterday was- “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” Granted I’ve been retired for 29 years, but I still lay the blame for the clusterf**k now going on in Afghanistan directly at the feet of Xiden and SECDEF Austin.

Their ‘scramble’ to get out has been mismanaged from the get go, sneaking out in the dark of night after they turned off the lights at Bagram??? Really??? WTF happened to actually COORDINATING the turnover, knowing we’d still need a base to operate from if/when things went south? And the constant downplaying of the Taliban… Junior Varsity? Really??? “Oh, they won’t actually try to control the country, they don’t have that capability.”

Have anyone looked at a @#%$$ tactical map of Afghanistan lately? The ‘JV’ controls over 75% of the country!

And it’s obvious the Pentagon has its head up its ass, more concerned with ‘domestic terrorists’ and CRT than actually protecting its personnel. Kirby, who I think of now as ‘Baghdad Bob’ Kirby gave a disjointed confusing press conference about how the Puzzle Palace was ‘working the issues’ and believed that ‘negotiations’ would get everything resolved… Yeah, right, pull the other one, it has bells on it… There are contingency plans already worked out, you pull them out and say “Go!”…

Which drives me back to which one of the first two pictures will be the news lead next week…

Meanwhile, Xiden is nowhere to be found, either hiding in Delaware or at Camp David and Austin is throwing Kirby to the wolves…

At least, unlike the reception ‘we’ received when we came back, we made sure the GWOT kids GOT a real welcome home. But what will the administration say to those gold star families and those who came back with PTSD, missing limbs, and chronic injuries that they may or may not be getting treatment for? Or those who’ve lost veterans to suicide (20+ a day)…

Gah, I’m gonna shut up now, so I can go find my BP meds…

A little humor…

And a really bad joke… I don’t write ’em (most of the time), I just send them along on recycled electrons…

A golfer in Ireland hooks his drive into the woods.

Searching for his ball, he finds a little Leprechaun lying flat on his back, a bump on his head and golf ball beside him. Horrified, the golfer gets his water bottle from the cart and pours it over the little guy, reviving him.

“Arrgh! What happened?” the Leprechaun asked. “I’m afraid I hit you with my golf ball” the golfer says. “Oh, I see. Well, ye got me fair and square. Ye get three wishes, so whaddye want?” “Thank God, you’re all right!” the golfer answers in relief. “I don’t want anything, I’m just glad you’re OK, and I apologise”. And the golfer walks off.

“What a nice guy” the Leprechaun says to himself. ” I’ll have to do something for him. I’ll give him the three things I would want… a great golf game, all the money he ever needs, and a fantastic sex life”.

A year goes by and the golfer is back. On the same hole, he again hits a bad drive into the woods and the Leprechaun is there waiting for him.

“Twas me that made ye hit the ball here” the little guy says. “I just want to ask ye, how’s yer golf game?” “My game is fantastic!” the golfer answers. “I’m an internationally famous golfer now”. He adds “By the way, it’s good to see you’re all right”.

“Oh, I’m fine now, thank ye. I did that fer yer golf game, ye know. And tell me, how’s yer money situation?” “Why, it’s just wonderful!” the golfer states. “When I need cash, I just reach in my pocket and pull out a pile of $100 bills I didn’t even know were there!” “I did that fer ye also”. And tell me, how’s yer sex life?”

The golfer blushes, turns his head away in embarrassment, and says shyly “It’s OK”. “C’mon now” urged the Leprechaun “I’m wanting to know if I did a good job. How many times a week?” Blushing even more, the golfer looks around then whispers “Once, sometimes twice a week”. “What??” responds the Leprechaun in shock. “That’s all? Only once or twice a week?” “Well” says the golfer “I figure that’s not bad for a Catholic priest in a small parish”.

Y’all have a good weekend!!!

Smackdown…

Copied from my friend, Midwest Chick… This doctor, an immunologist lays the smackdown on an Indiana School board…

I just wish we had copies of what he provided to the school board!

They actually let him finish, and the crowd gave him a long round of applause!!!

As if…

Their profit isn’t high enough already…

So, it seems that Google, like many other companies want people to physically come back to the office, and this is their way to ‘nudge’ employees to do that…

Google has rolled out a new internal calculator to explain potential pay cuts to employees who choose to work remotely — and the early results suggests it will penalize its suburban staffers.

Full article, HERE.

And apparently Cuomo read the ‘handwriting’ on the wall, and resigned effective in 14 days yesterday.

Faced with mounting legal pressures and demands for his departure from President Joe Biden and others, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo resigned on Tuesday following an inquiry that found he sexually harassed 11 women, capping a startling downfall for one of the most prominent politicians in the United States.

Full article HERE, from Reuters.

And last but not least, again from yesterday.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) has filed articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for presiding “over a reckless abandonment of border security and immigration enforcement” as the head of the agency.

Full article, HERE from Breitbart. Frankly, I doubt this will actually go anywhere, considering the makeup of the congresscritters… dammit…

So…

Apparently the $3.5T dem wish list is being labeled a ‘human infrastructure’ bill!

Bernie Sanders is ‘in charge’ of the economy…

For too many years the people on top have been doing phenomenally well, while working families continue to struggle. The time is long overdue for Congress to address the long-neglected needs of ordinary Americans, and not just the 1% and wealthy campaign contributors.  And that is precisely what we’re trying to do right now in Congress through an historic $3.5 trillion “reconciliation” bill.  

It is unacceptable that the United States has more income and wealth inequality now than at any time in the last hundred years. Today, the two wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than the bottom 40% and the top 1% own more wealth than the bottom 92%.

Full article, HERE.

Bernie Sanders says budget includes:

— Child tax benefit — Universal pre-K — Paid family & medical leave — Tuition-free community college — Lower prescription drug costs — Dental/hearing/vision Medicare expansion — Housing — Homecare — Major climate $ — Immigration — Lower Medicare age — Obamacare expansion — Increasing physical supply — (Too many climate/clean energy plans to summarize here)

New revenue from: — Beefed up IRS tax enforcement — Taxing rich — Taxing corporations — Fees on polluters — Medicare negotiations

One of many articles, HERE.

Meanwhile…

Inflation is here, probably to stay as long as this bunch is in control…

YMMV…

 

Rocks…

Posted on by August 8, 2021

In their heads?

This is just…over the top, COMPLETELY over the top…

The University of Wisconsin-Madison just spent $50,000 to move a rock. Chamberlin Rock was named after a former university president and a geologist Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin — a scholar of some note in the 1920s. He had no known racist tendencies. He has no racist writings to his name. But when did facts ever matter to the woke cretins on college campuses?

One newspaper story from 1925 referred to the rock as “n****r head rock” — a common term at the time for any dark-colored boulder. That was enough to condemn the rock to the outer darkness.

Full article, HERE.  And another take HERE.

In other news, yet ANOTHER huge fire is burning in northern California…

The Dixie Fire… 679 square miles (so far), less than 25% contained and already burned one town (Greenville) to the ground.

HERE is the official link to CalFire. Thankfully, this one is nowhere near PP and family, but prayers go out to those folks in harm’s way.

Of course nobody in California politics is talking about this one, because it’s ALL due to the Econazis, their lawsuits, and the Pol’s unwillingness to stand up to them and do the right thing for the forests (and not letting USFS do their jobs either)…

A little humor…

I’m tired of all the crap in the news, so humor…

These are the Cowboy Rules in effect for: Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho and the rest of the Wild West.

1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Turn your cap right, your head ain’t crooked.

3. Let’s get this straight: it’s called a “gravel road.” I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you’re gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

4. They are cattle. That’s why they smell like cattle. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don’t like it? I-10 & I-40 go east and west, I-17 & I-15 go north and south. Pick one and go.

5. So you have an $80,000 car. We’re impressed. We have $350,000 Combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

6. Every person in the Wild West waves. It’s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheasants/ducks/doves are comin’ in during a hunt, we WILL shoot it outta your hand. You better hope you don’t have it up to your ear at the time.

8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want sushi and caviar? It’s available at the corner bait shop.

9. The ‘Opener’ refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

10. We open doors for women. That’s applies to all women, regardless of age.

11. No, there’s no ‘”vegetarian special” on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the Chef’s Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.

12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah … We don’t care what you folks in the North East call that stuff you eat … IT AIN’T REAL CHILI!!

13. You bring “Coke” into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring “Mary Jane” into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Giants, the Yankees, the Mets, the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don’t hit the water hazards – it spooks the fish.

16. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump ain’t music, anyway. We don’t want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!

Interesting take…

Sam Jacobs at Ammo.com has one of the better reviews of the goings on of the ‘elites’… Worth the read.

The Great Reset is upon us…or at least the powers that be are trying to bring it out. What was once a fringe “conspiracy theory” is now on display plain as day for everyone to see. The economic, political, academic, and media elites around the world are leveraging the chaos, confusion, and restrictions on liberty from the COVID-19 lockdowns and using them to radically alter society around the world.

What will this change look like? The global elites want to create a society of renters who own nothing, while also pushing a social agenda that would be unpopular with the unwashed masses and difficult to implement in a society with a broad, ownership-based middle class.

Full article, HERE from Ammo.com

When you look at the bribes/coercion/threats surrounding the vaccine that are currently being put out by various states, organizations, and NGOs, in addition to ‘vaccine passports’ in places like NYC, it gets more interesting.

And if you want to see where it ‘might’ go, look at the enforcement actions taking place in Australia! The military has been activated to ‘enforce’ the WuFlu lock down in Sydney, HERE.

Is that going to come here? I hope not…

Your thoughts?
