Themeless. And, no, I do not have a lisp.
I have no overarching theme, complaint, joy or observation. Thus it is even more minimalist than normal from me.
- Panic!
- Er… anyone see any Kosovars in the shadows? I am struggling with doubt on this one.
- Why not, we are on a roll.
- How important is chocolate to Switzerland? So important that this utter non-story, is a story.
You all will have to do the music.
Comments are open and are belong to you.
These Swiss links are kind of cheesy.
Are you saying you spotted holes in them?
I should stop reading so many thrillers. My first thought about the tainted prison drugs was that this is what the US government did during prohibition, by doctoring alcohol to poison people taking it and spreading the stories through the newspapers to deter people from taking bootleg booze.
And, no, I do not have a lisp.
Elmer Fudd has a disappoint,
Limp, not lisp. Give me the cane.
So, you want to be caned.
Not judging, what you do on your time….
But does he have a gimp?
The United States and South Korea began a joint investigation Monday to locate the wreckage of at least three U.S. aircraft that crashed off South Korea’s northeastern coast during the Korean War, officials said.
Col. Henry Blake was unavailable for comment.
Too soon!
No Alan Alda to crack wise about it?
I didn’t have that reaction on my Radar.
That’s just what one of those bitter Klingers would say.
Well, that’s a funny way to dress it up!
Someone will nurse this story along but they’d better be Swit with it.
I guess I’ll have to Chuck something in late before Swiss gives it a Burnsing glare.
To be Frank, I am amazed he hasn’t come here with a Winchester.
He is busy with Winston’s mom. She likes to… trap ‘er John
Is this how they hide that they’re doin’ military shit together?
Korea’s at least talked about doing something with Hormuz. Not a high bar, but I’d trust them to actually *do* shit more than any other Euro country. (Sorry, Pie.)

Thanks, Edit Fairy!
Obligatory (with water cooler percussion).
I’m just finishing Rick Beato’s interview with Sting.
Did he talk about Zoolander 2?
The fire was quickly brought under control by the fire brigade and remained confined to the machine; it did not spread to other equipment. Three people were examined by paramedics as a precautionary measure.
So no chocolate was damaged?
And that is the important part of the story!
I first read the story and a weird (okay, weirder) part of me thought “Can you smoke chocolate?”
Turns out you can!
You need a cold-smoking setup, though. Quite the bar for entry.
Smoked chocolate. That looks good. Thanks Shpip!
“And how do you keep it out of schools, because it’s on pieces of paper? It’s terrifying. It would be worse than the fentanyl in the street,” Curry said.
Schools are just low security prisons.
At least the prisoners are safer than being out on Chicago streets, almost a 100 murdered so far this calendar year.
How do you keep it out of schools? Based on past experiences you don’t. Maybe you should not have cried wolf about how deadly every drug is for the past 75 years? Then you might be believed this time.
Crying wolf doesn’t help even when there is a wolf. If the thousands of overdose deaths hasn’t, convinced people to “leave that shit alone”, nothing will.
Not gonna lie. Being in close proximity to one the largest air bases in the world is always fucking cool.

Members of Elon Musk’s private security team were deputized as federal agents last year even though some of the billionaire’s guards lacked the required training and law enforcement experience, according to newly released government emails.
The emails shed new light on how the U.S. Marshals Service responded to Musk’s entourage during his five-month stint in the second Trump administration. The agency in February 2025 approved a request that it said came from the White House to deputize Musk’s bodyguards, a decision that allowed them to carry weapons in some federal buildings and continue protecting him.
——-
The Marshals Service released the emails and related documents in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act filed by Democracy Forward, a progressive advocacy group that has been investigating Musk’s tenure in the Trump administration. The group, which filed a lawsuit last year to get the records, shared them with NBC News.
The Marshals Service first considered deputizing Musk’s security detail during the first week of February, according to the emails, as Musk was immersed in trying to dismantle federal agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development.
But there was a potential hiccup: Musk’s security detail did not meet what the Marshals Service considered to be the basic requirements to be deputized as federal law enforcement.
How many lost/misplaced weapons were they responsible for? How many negligent self-inflicted gunshot wounds?
Jesus fucking Christ.
How are these people so immune from shame? I can’t imagine anything less pressing to worry about than Musk’s private security detail, and the fact they were deputized so that they could carry in federal buildings and, you know, protect him. All at no taxpayer cost.
There are no straws so invisible at which the left will not grasp.
They have to always pump out distraction dust to keep their adherents frightened. (About something.) Those negative, emotional sparks keep the base riled up. Simple as that.
Just for once, I want a Leftist to get pissed at being played. Asking why they hadn’t seen Biden and the SS Easter Bunny, and why that was kept quiet, and why they were surprised the DNC was running a corpse during that summer debate.
Their Faith is too entrenched, I fear. It’s really rather pathetic, to be happily used like that.
I have friends who are pissing their pants over ICE. I want to ask them what happened to Musk being the “shadow president”, which is what they were pissing their pants about last year. But I’m not into tormenting people in emotional distress.
There no mathematician so accomplished that he might count the number of pants-pissing tangents the left has grasped hold of in the last 14 months.
Do they give you specific reasons or is it just the thing to be pissed over in current year?
THEY’RE INDISCRIMINATELY KILLING PEOPLE IN THE STREETS FOR NO REASON!!!1!!
Jeez. How can you not know? It is known.
THEY’RE KIDNAPPING PEOPLE, INCLUDING AMERICAN CITIZENS, AND SENDING THEM TO DEATH CAMPS.
It is known.
There are quite a few congressional and senate staffers who carry deputy US Marshal creds, so they can carry weapons in DC. I doubt that any of those people have met the, “…basic requirements to be deputized as federal law enforcement,” except for the ones about having the right connections…
Yeah, I can’t see any one of Elon’s personal security team being as much of a joke as this one is/was.

Elon Musk’s private security can’t be any more incompetent than federal agents.

Last time I shot this qual was as part of my Rangemaster Basic Instructor certification class. I scored 60/60, with every hit in the inner scoring ring. It’s not a hard test.
When NJ originally expanded the Permit to Carry they used the standard NJ HCQ1 which was similar.. Only missed 2 shots on the target (at 25 yards)
Then they required us to draw from holster and made all of us do it again. with a fully external holster, even though now we can only carry concealed.
Finally they dropped the 25yd distance.
What was good was we knew they couldn’t make it more difficult than the standard police requirements. That clearly would have been bias, and the HCQ1 course is not hard.
Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, said the emails are emblematic of Musk’s time in government.
“These documents — uncovered after months of work by our team — underscore the lawlessness with which Elon Musk was allowed to run around Washington, wreaking havoc and abusing government resources,” she said in a statement.
I love how Musk gives these people the screaming heebiejeebies.
something something cry havoc
“Lawlessness”. “Unlawful”. Those words are not chosen at random.
I assume that Elon has a plan to get out of the country after the midterms…
“anyone see any Kosovars in the shadows”. Screw the Kosovars. The biggest drug runners in Europe. They also stole the attic space in my our old apartment in Slovakia preventing us from adding a floor to our apartment.

Peter Magyar as a Hungarian politician name seems kind too on the nose.
Should be Atilla Magyar.
The Fifth Column guys were chuckling about that – “Peter Hungarian”. With “Peter” being the most popular male name in the country (per them).
The settlement history of Tristan da Cunha implies the unpopularity of space colonization. That island has a mild enough climate, yet despite being settled in the 1850s, its population has stayed below 300. They have to import their beer and many other supplies from South Africa.
https://apps.npr.org/life-on-tristan-da-cunha/
I doubt the long-term viability of any colony that doesn’t have a brewery or regular beer resupply.
They have to import virtually everything there.
Or… life just sucks there. It sounds like catnip to NPR readers but I think I’ll pass.
Life in a place like that is suitable only for those who were born into it.
I read as far as some dude from S. Africa apparently moved there.
That person must be out of his fucking mind.
“That person must be out of his fucking mind.”
My nearest neighbors moved from Idaho, Colorado, a retired navy guy from all over, I lived in TX for many years.
Each have their own reasons. Mostly to be left alone, at least as much as possible.
