Well, the wedding has come and gone. It was quite an experience. It poured rain all day, until God gave us a five hour window to get it done. And then the skies opened up to a torrential downpour to make up for it. All in all, it was an exceptional wedding and everyone had a marvelous time. Now to get the newlyweds ready to move to the Gulch and work in our dungeons. They will be a breath of fresh air after several years of incompetent employees.
Links?
Um. No. And you can tell he’s a New York “Republican”.
Ima chalk it up to “message sent”.
Hakeem continues to beclown himself as he tries to remain relevant.
Okay, that’s it for me. I have a bunch of nuthin’ to do this afternoon and it’s time to get to it. Peace out, Glibbies.
Brett suggested the music.
First? Wow
You should celebrate by setting a potato on fire.
Put one in the microwave for 20 minutes.
Hey!
Prosecutors claimed the demonstrators were part of “antifa” and filed a broad terrorism charge against them, allowing the Trump administration to claim they had successfully convicted antifa terrorists. The actual terrorism charge the government got a conviction on, however, is not connected to ideology.
Who knew that shooting a federal law enforcement officer in furtherance of leftist ideology wasn’t connected to ideology?
I don’t give a fuck. But thankfully, I am not a citizen of that country.
Were I any of those that are in the groups wanting to get into the US I’d be doing my damnedest to do whatever it takes.
I probably couldn’t pass as a Haitian. Chinese or Mexican but I could learn to wash dishes or whatever.
It used to be easy. Just walk over the border.
They don’t have to go home, but they can’t stay here.
Is that a lyric…?
Wait till closing time and ask again.
It was a saying before it was a lyric.
Dammit I should have caught that.
Something did tickle the grey cells, at least.
Has anyone gotten Rumble videos to embed in WordPress? I tried several ways on my drone article and it’s not worked.
Oh, since I dropped the notice to TPTB on the ded thread – the Drone article can go anywhere in the schedule where an article is needed it’s standalone.
I don’t use Rumble, so I don’t know. Are you using the insert block / video / insert from URL?
I tried that – WP just said “LOL, Video Not Found at URL”
Okay. That’s not something I can fix. The only work-around I can think of is to upload the videos to YouTube.
We don’t have the storage to host videos in our WP Media Library.
I put a link in the article, it’s not vital that it be embedded, I just figured it’d look better if it were.
“Of the 350,000+ lawful Haitian TPS holders, roughly one-third work in our healthcare system,” he continued. “Immediately shutting off TPS will create a crisis in our hospitals, nursing homes, and in the I/DD [intellectual and developmental disabilities] community.”
We have plenty of low-value workers sitting idle. They’ll take up the slack. It’s not like you need years of training to be a bedpan jockey.
^This.
And the departure of the Haitians will also free up housing that could be occupied by those healthcare workers moving to Springfield for jobs.
I can rent a cargo van, but we’ll need a couple volunteers to throw them in.
Won’t anyone think of the orphans?
What will happen to them when the newbies arrive?
Another dire life-and-death need.
You’ve got expensive tastes, Mo.
Especially for someone who I swear has claimed to be a basic bitch on at least one occasion.
I thought she was a COBOL bitch.
At least it wasn’t FORTRAN
I like pretty things. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1048921613/recycled-vintage-aqua-mason-jar-glass
You can have pretty things that don’t cost as much as a small house or large truck.
C++ actually.
That Etsy item is more like it. In fact, I like it better than the bracelet.👍
lol C++ was the first language book I picked up when I decided to pursue that career in the late 90s.
A buddy said “Don’t” and I’m glad I listened.
Boodles. I made the mistake of looking at Patek Phillippe watches.
Did you not see “Boodles” before you clicked on the watches? 🤣
My wife and I long ago decided we want polygamy to be legal so we can marry a sugar spouse.
I had no idea the situation had become that dire in South Korea. Maybe we should give them Temporary Protected Status.
Poor Hakeem. Your party is just not that into you anymore.
In the dead thred, someone posted a link about Scott Weiner getting kicked out of the SF trans meet up. In a tweet within that link, Weiner is referred to politically as “center right”. LO, fucking L
Makes sense as I never see anyone vaguely right wing referred as anything but “far right”.
Left bottom.
I corpse-fucked the thread with that same reaction.
Wiener is toast (((because))).
Hakeem is toast because not commie enough.
And Schumer… holy shit he needs to head for ze hills.
His better days, if he had any, are way behind him now.
Politicians just never want to give up, most pro athletes have a bad year and they realize they’re fading and decide to go out on top.
Schumer
Shumer is starting to smell like Ceaușescu.
Well he is both Jewish and not commie enough so he does not fit into today’s Party at all.
Apparently his big sin is sponsoring a bill last year to require schools to teach that antisemitism is bad.
From the Virginia gun case.
“Gun violence is the key driver of violent crime in this commonwealth and nation”
That’s called a tautology. What a retard.
Taking place in the Chattahoochee River, a fish kill was triggered by an oxygen-depleted water overflow from the combined sewer system in Atlanta, reads a Georgia Department of Natural Resources report.
What a crappie outcome.
I’m not gonna carp about it but you won’t sucker me into reading it. I’m bullheaded like that.
I think I offended my Oklahoma Reddit Cliche. She texted me the other night all panicky about a situation and she did not like the advice I gave. She did not want advice. She wanted me to say she was totally justified in feeling the way she was feeling. I told her we could talk about that when we got her crisis solved. You have two bad choices. Choice 2 is marginally more wise than Choice 1. This was, apparently, not the correct answer.
Look, little girl. Don’t ask me to help you solve a crisis, then go off on a tangent and expect me to follow just because you don’t like the curtain pulled back on reality.
Reality bites.
🤨
Tres’ response.
Chefs kiss.
Yeah… hon, you need to stop trying to fix strangers.
Many strangers should be fixed. En mass.
Help control the pest population – remember to have your strangers spayed or neutered.
This sounds like every conversation my wife has with her sister.
DenverJ and Threedoor, if you are out there, from the dedthred on the Free State Project.
Full disclosure: I moved to NH in the late 90s before Jason Sorens wrote his Free State Project essay for The Libertarian Enterprise. I helped out the LPNH for a few years, then got away from politics. I took the FSP pledge, and when the vote came, voted for states other than NH. I stayed away from politics other than signing ballot access petitions, reading reason. Then the Rona Panic (see the Too Local News stories) happened
The original pledge to move to a state the project votes on and work to build a freer society activated when 20K people signed it. That was in 2016 if I remember. To my knowledge the FSP only claims 6,000 have moved to NH. The new FSP Executive Director, Eric Brakey (full disclosure: I’ve met him twice, I’m not sure he would remember me, and I like what he’s doing), has started an initiative to find supporters that have moved to use them as a marketing tool for the FSP.
NH won the voting for the state to move to. The vote was in 2003 if I remember correctly. I think Wyoming was in second place.
The movers I know are a mixed bunch from all over the country.
Libertarians in NH moving into the Republican party started at about the time Sorens wrote his essay. In 2016, when the pledge activated, I wasn’t very involved with politics so I don’t know how many libertarians were masquerading as Republicans in the state legislature at that time; however, I know it was a number greater than zero with some of them having lived in the state at the time Sorens wrote his essay.
NH was one big advantage for making political change: Ease of getting elected to the state House of Representatives combined with almost every bill in the legislature getting a vote before the full chamber (i.e. killing in committee is very, very rare). There are 400 state representatives for a state of roughly 1.3 million (roughly one state representative per 3200 people). I am active in politics nowadays but not hugely active (in other words, there are people far, far more active than I am). I am on a first name basis with a few state representatives.
I’ll say the plan is working better than I originally thought it would (see my disclosures). There is still a lot of work to do, but at this point, if I’m going to be on the East Coast, I’ll be in NH, FL (I was a DeSantis supporter in 2024), or PA (family reasons).
I appreciate the work but TBH politics is (obviously, for those who know me) not why I live where I do.
Although I’ve visited NH a couple times and it’s nice there.
Less than zero desire to live in the current hot topics, FL or TX. PA… maybe.
I was surprised to learn about how large the NH house was a couple years ago. That certainly makes inroads easier.
6000 is a pretty big chunk of people. It would be interesting to know how many families and actual gross number of people that would be.
Wyoming would have sucked. The weather alone and the distance from major cities would have turned most away.
Idaho has a small house and like Wyoming the LDS control a sizable portion of the local and state politics. Likely less for Wyoming. Here in OD you’re never going to be governor without being LDS. They made damn sure Janice McGeechin was ran out of state politics, too conservative and Christian.
