Good morning one and all to another stupendous day!
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.

I’ll believe it when Charlie actually kicks the football.
Daylight savings: I will believe it when Trump signs it.
Mexican Government sends lawyers: Deport them.
Taco Bell: Hahahahahahaha!
I doubt that they’re residents, and they’re probably traveling under diplomatic passports. So, PNG them and send their asses back to the DR, basic economy class.
The Mexican government should send lawyers to stop Taco Bell.
Nah, you need Lawyers, Guns and Money.
For Taco Bell you need Imodium. Lawyers, guns and money cannot help.
Wait, hold on a minute.
Don’t tell me you’re eating it!?
As the piles sufferer said to his doctor – “No, I’m shoving them up my ass!”
I know the rule is not to kink-shame people, but sometimes the behavior of this crowd is asking for it.
Old joke. A guy was suffering from hemorrhoids, and he went to his doctor and got some suppositories.
The next week, he comes in for a checkup and tells the doctor, “Doc, my hemorrhoids are worse than ever! These suppositories aren’t doing anything!”
The doctor takes a look, and says, “What the hell have you been doing with those suppositories, eating them?”
The guy replies, sarcastically, “What do you think I’ve been doing with them, sticking them up my ass?”
Meh. It’s funnier in person.
ES:
There’s always the scene from Trainspotting with the heroin suppositories.
Run to the outhouse.
Oh yeah, Congress does something really fucking substantive.
We do not generally speaking benefit when Congress does something substantive.
Calling for recess is substantive, just sayin
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place,
which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.
Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God’s help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.
Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!
+1 Cromwell.
The majority of our congressidiots aren’t capable of understanding that speech.
Fuck permanent daylight time.
Preach it, ROAT. Permanent arrested development time is just barely better than switching back and forth.
I am on UCT and will be on UCT no matter what the government does. My waking is determined by Unruly Cats
Fuck that noise. Daylight in the morning is useless. Daylight in the evening means I can go shooting after work.
You need more low-light practice, anyway.
This is true. *dusts off PVS-14*
ES gets it.
Sounds like something Pie would say.
I don’t give a shit which, just pick one. I will wake up at the same time, go to bed at the same time, and adjust for anything else.
Just. Pick. One.
Good, the senate will reject this until we get a bill for permanent standard instead.
The senate is full of octaganatians who get out of bed at 4am and think kids will have to walk to school in the dark.
That will be true in my area in the winter. I’d prefer standard time, but not changing is still better than changing.
Kids haven’t walked to school since the 90s.
This is what I voted for.
The north east coast dosent like it because they head another eastern time zone.
Sounds to me like they are, in fact, ending vehicle stops. So now every vehicle is a sanctuary vehicle.
Oh, it’s “temporary”. Well, we all know what “temporary” means in the government.
The first six months, maybe year, of this administration, I was optimistic about some shit getting done that needed doing. Not so much any more.
Maybe the Sovereign Citizen movement can take a page out of the Illegal Alien movement.
Won’t work. Third world invaders have lots of friends who matter. Sovereign citizens, not so much.
He seems to have ended the flood of new illegals (assuming that is still the case*) but yeah I can’t think of much else accomplished.
*At this point, I think we need proof of this
He saved us some money on lettuce inspections.
Could have stopped the article right there.

STIJLTH
That’s a “Who cares?” level of non-news.
The way some people wrote their headlines you’d think he imitated Nadler.
Eulogy for Lindsy?
Try that AOC!
Is there a point where trying to escape ICE has diminishing returns?
With all the spontaneous outbreaks I would think there would be at least one demonstrator that would shelter a pre-escapee to avoid ICE.
“A Texas burlesque and pole dancer ended up soaking her apartment after her pole came loose, knocking into her overhead sprinklers and flooding her apartment, wild viral video shows.
Asha Gilbert was practicing her moves on the pole in her Houston apartment when it suddenly detached from the ceiling.
Video from her phone shows the moment the pole comes loose from the roof, hitting an overhead fire sprinkler, which immediately blasts out water – spraying her and her dog.”

LOLOLOL
Pro-tip – dont use a shower rod as your pole.
A new clause in the lease agreement
If you weigh more than a duck “No Pole Dancing in Your Apartment”
African or European duck!
So only witches?
You’d think a stripper would know you want your poles attached to a stud.
joist
Looks like a spring loaded setup
OK, you joist want your pole attached to a stud.
That is one way to become a squirter.
“A leftist Canadian woman allegedly slapped a teen who was wearing President Trump-branded clothing on the Jersey Shore over the Fourth of July weekend — before she was arrested and detained by immigration officials.
Kaitlyn E. Tracey, 33, allegedly recorded herself confronting a group of four girls on the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk when she became violent on July 3, according to court documents obtained by NJ.com.
Tracey took issue with two of the beachgoers — who are minors — wearing “patriotic colored” sweatpants with the words “Trump” and “ICE” before she struck one of them across the face and body, police alleged.”

She was arrested on Monday and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment, obstruction, and over-doing winged eyeliner.
I love when the trash gets taken out.
Jail, then deportation.
If only she’d made it back to her car, she’d be home free.
Thought the same.
It’s the Jersey shore. She’s just gone native.
I’m currently at the Jersey shore about 30 miles south of where this occurred. On my annual beach vacation.
and over-doing winged eyeliner
Even I didn’t know what that was. Is there something you need to tell us, CT?
You’ve never seen winged eye liner?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winged_eyeliner
I know more useless details than is normal, but I didn’t know that ugly style had a name.
And you, a gay man!
https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15979123/Canadian-Kaitlyn-Tracey-deported-girl-MAGA-sweatpants-New-Jersey.html
Yup, that looks like somebody who needs a serious case of consequences for her own actions.
awesome
lol I was just joking about deportation.
Sweet
I know we can’t deport him, darn the luck, but her hubby is more than welcome to go with her.
Typical Yankees fan.
Deport her husband too.
Howdy, y’all. My pics in the media library are uh, graphic, but the piece is rather upbeat and playful. “Persistently chipper,” I am, and for good reason. Work is going great so far. Fun office with ~7 folk, and I’m joined by another newbie.
Eat that breakfast of champions and have a good, productive day, yo.
“This is trickle-down stupidity. This is MAGA on steroids. This is MAHA. This is tradwife. This is unvaxxed and unjacked and all that s—. This is the worst, worst, worst,” Welch said.”
https://nypost.com/2026/07/14/media/far-left-podcaster-jennifer-welch-calls-homeschooling-trickle-down-stupidity/
unjacked?
Just ignore the fact that homeschooled kids outperform those institutionalized in government schools, and not by a little.
Perhaps “jacked” means you do everything radical leftists approve of. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m fairly sure that ‘unjacked’ means you strictly limit online/screen time for children, in favor of things like going outside and having friends.
Which is a bit odd considering it’s generally the left that wants social media bans for the under-16s.
No, they only want them on Bluesky, the pedo one.
I mean, I can certainly understand why your kids don’t want to be around you – you’re a spiteful narcissistic SSRI-addicted asshole. But I don’t have those problems. I love spending time with my nieces and nephews, doing things with them, and learning about what they’re into – so they don’t grown up thinking that no one understands them.
Oh, and don’t forget, “mUH sOCialIzatUN!!1!”
Seriously, fuck you right where it hurts the most. Find me a single instance of positive social behavior taking place in a public school, and I’ll cover the costs of your box wine and Xanax habit for the next month.
Imagine that is your mom.
*shudder*
spiteful narcissistic SSRI-addicted asshole.
I’ll cover the costs of your box wine and Xanax habit for the next month
Nice, descriptive, turn(s) of phrase.
I try not be misogynistic, I really do. But it’s hard with all the examples of such retarded behavior from young and not so young women. Remember the mantra, repeat: “Treat people as individuals”.
Maybe it’s the toxicity (another word I hate, but whatever) of social media, perhaps amplifying a signal that was already there and simultaneously increasing the number of retards. I have a very low attack surface for social media to glom onto and the flood of this sort of story black pills me. I can’t imagine growing up where you are exposed to it continuously. It’s a wonder there’s not a much higher percentage of Andrew Tate’s running around.
The downside of being more solution oriented, as men in general tend to be, is that you can lose sight of what you want your society to be in pursuit of efficient problem solving. The downside of being more relationship oriented, as women tend to be, is that it makes you vulnerable to manipulation by empathy for the ‘underdog’, which ends up with you destroying the very society that gave you the power and security to destroy it. Men come up with abominations like FISA and the Patriot Act because the efficiency of total surveillance in fighting crime and terrorism is too shiny to remember the horror of total surveillance. Women come up with open borders, trans kids, and early release for criminals, because they see someone suffering and do not ask whether they deserve it.
@Putrid – It helps to remember that it is often the worst people who put the most effort into being the loudest/most visible. You are seeing awfulness because awfulness draws attention to itself.
The normal people just putter along quietly by comparison.
*bows, waves to crowd*
It would be easier to treat people as individuals if the left, and increasingly the ‘new’ right, didn’t work so hard at amplifying other people’s opinions instead of having their own…
Thanks (((JarFlax – that’s a very useful framing. When I get into a “the 19th amendment was a mistake” mindset in reaction to some woman in politics espousing some god-awful policy or some woman self-righteously spouting some retarded sentiment, I’m also reminded that, hold on, men have done lots of fucked up things against liberty all on their own. The female-based attack is just a bit newer (or at least more obvious these days) and seemingly unrelenting. It would have taken me at least 10 paragraphs to say what you said and likely a lot less clearly!
I do think that men and women have never really much liked each other. They were forced together by biological compulsion, but that era is ending. I actually think *all* human attachments are becoming vestigial, we’re just in an awkward transitional phase where the technology hasn’t quite caught up.
My boy speaks like an adult. To adults.
We get around kids his age at the park and they talk like babies or don’t speak at all.
I think it’s just f—ing weird as f— that you want your kids around you all day, every day and all night. And just the socialization.
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to be around your kids either.
My kids, on the other hand, are a delight. Maybe because they are trained and disciplined to not be hellions, and because they have friends and influences who weren’t born within the same 12 month window.
The socialization component is so tired. Maybe 30 years ago it was a legitimate critique. (It wasn’t, but there was a thread of legitimacy to it) Today? You could literally fill every day and evening with homeschool social activities. Our issue is trying to avoid over socializing and not having any time at home.
Talk about the world being a better place when she is longer on it.
Ah the annual ‘homeschooling is dangerous’ articles.
Nevermind that was our default for majority of our existence.
Her real issue isnt educational, its this:
Now do environmentalism.
I think it’s selfish for parents to push a religion on a child and make them believe just one before they’re old enough to hear about all of them
🤡🤡
Say you want to groom other people’s kids without saying the word “groom”.
What an odious person.
What is she famous for?
Being an absolute cunte.
“I would have gotten up on my hands and knees and strapped them to my back and crawled to get them to school every day just to get them where I wasn’t”
A snarky quip is unnecessary here.
Good grief, what a bitch.
It’s Wine O’Clock kids, out of the house!
My homeschooled eight year old writes a better paragraph than that.
I overthought a joke about paragraph constuction enforced by corporal punishment, which drained the humor from it.
“My boyfriend’s vile demand in bed is so degrading… but he insists all his guy friends do it too: DEAR JANE”

So she wrote a letter without saying what it is?
Pegging is top contender here I would assume.
Tossing her or his salad would be next.
It wasn’t me.
He wanted to put his p into her v. Ewwwwww, gross.
All I am gonna say is that the best shitting tables are German.
He wanted to do it with the lights on.
“A transgender person who was born a male but now identifies as a woman, fled the United States of America for the Netherlands, apparently believing there would be greater freedom there. This same person was recently interviewed and complained about being harassed by Muslim migrants in the Dutch country.”

Not the Bee.
The cultural enrichers look so welcoming there.
Which ones, the islamists or the trannies?
yes
So enrichment! Much vibrant!
Reminds me of my friend who wants to live in an RV and become a Canadian citizen. Because you know, Trump. I looked up the Canadian laws, turns out you don’t just roll over the border and you’re in. There are waiting periods and such. And my wife reminded me, Canada will not allow you in if you have a criminal record. Her husband has an Indiana pot possession mark on his record. I’m happy just watching it play out.
Middle East allies rushing new pipelines, port to bypass Iran’s grip on Strait of Hormuz
If enough money is involved, a way will be found. This is probably a good solution, and it’s future-thinking.
Mexican Government Sends Lawyers to Block ICE Deportations
“We don’t want them here either.”
Revoke the visas for the mexican lawyers, arrest and deport them.
Check and mate!
Damn, that was speaking the quiet part out loud…
“But we do want their money.”
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-reverses-ices-decision-to-suspend-traffic-stops-85228584?st=ZBg1Cq&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
I’ll believe it when it happens.
Were the traffic stops really doing anything, versus say, public arrests of business owners who employ illegals? Inquiring minds and all…
Ok, I have reached Caedite eos early today. Time to get offline.
Birds of prey show cancelled after vegans’ concern
The description for the event on the Hopetown Darlington website says it is a chance to come “face-to-face with hunters – from majestic owls and powerful eagles to lightning-fast falcons and striking hawks”.
A spokesperson for the Darlington Vegans said the event was not a true educational tool because “they force wild animals to perform unnatural behaviour such as flying to human cues… purely for crowd spectacle”.
They said: “Darlington Vegans, along with North East Animal Rights and Freedom for Animals, are delighted to hear that the upcoming Birds of Prey event to be held at Hopetown has been cancelled.
“Rather than promoting a genuine understanding of raptor ecology, it reinforces the harmful idea that wildlife exists for human exploitation and handling.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6214l61604o
Oh, no, a bird flying. What unnatural task is this?
Burn these vegans at the steak.
(Pun intended. I realized people might think I made a mistake instead of an intentional wordplay)
[sic.]
Explaining the joke? Oh boy.
Dem’s fitin’ werds.
👊🤜
Feed the bits to the falcons.
Train the birds to attack the vegans.
It’s better that people don’t appreciate animals …
What the world needs is more people who are ignorant of the natural world.
As Argentina was throwing in the towel at the end of the Falklands War, journalist Max Hastings, incredibly, walked into occupied Stanley ahead of the British forces. He speaks to the dejected Argentine soldiers and asks if they’re surrendering. Some of them glare at him but he meets no resistance. He then continues to the town pub, the Upland Goose, where he’s met with cheers. The landlord says: “We never doubted for a moment that the British would come… Would you like a drink?”
https://x.com/L_Wastell/status/2077341638771265541
I wonder which side would have to “throw in the towel” now?
The Falklands should just declare independence from both.
The Falkland Islands (Maldives) was the country of the day today on Worldle. The population is less than the number of people in my township, and I live in a rural township. It’s just … sheep. Who gives a shit, except shepherds?
On the subject of vile neurotic lefties: https://x.com/reddit_lies/status/2077197212132553147
So I don’t ever talk about politics or sociology when I’m acting in my professional capacity. I’ve often said that when I’m working or teaching, my politics are exactly those required to make me a more effective worker or teacher.
Then I read this, and I feel like I’ve been making a horrible mistake…
This is why we appear at Glibs in masks and my social media is blank as far as my politics goes.
I thought the masks were for the “Eyes wide shut” theme?
two birds

You’re avatar is a mask?
You should see what he looks like in real life.

WTF is a preceptor?
Nursing thing, apparently

Looks like the guy that teaches the nurses what to actually do on the job after their degree has failed them.
They were in that Tom Cruise/Spielberg movie.
One of Keir Starmer’s last acts will be a massive expansion of ‘work of equal value’ pay claims that are already bankrupting local councils to cover race too.
All this will do is cost taxpayers and consumer more, and encourage divisive identity politics in the workplace.
https://x.com/ClaireCoutinho/status/2077021822109810870
at this point sure. why not. do it.
One of these times I want to see a government come in after someone’s made a right mess of things and pass a law that goes “all legislation introduced between X and Y is revoked in full, reverting to the law as of X”
They are probably trying to figure out how to do that against Trump.
It will save them from having to reverse every decision one at a time.
I’d settle for “emergency spending” that includes mandatory sunset dates in the legislation.
Encouraging divisive identity politics is one of the highlights of being a ratfucker commie asshole, so yes, it is entirely expected from that piece of shit.
Lake Shadow Ranch – 1,046 acres – Craig, Colorado
A rare and remarkable opportunity awaits with Lake Shadow Ranch, a sprawling 1,046-acre property ideally located less than one mile from Elkhead Reservoir State Park. This picturesque ranch features sweeping views of Elkhead Reservoir, Black Mountain, Bears Ears, and distant alpine peaks, offering a perfect balance of agricultural functionality, recreational access, and development potential.
Easily accessed from both County Road 29 (paved) and County Road 178, Lake Shadow Ranch lies just 20 minutes from Craig and Hayden, Colorado — the latter offering commercial air service via Yampa Valley Regional Airport. Steamboat Springs, with world-class skiing and vibrant year-round amenities, is less than an hour’s scenic drive away.

I watched this Limey utopianist fantasy last night. Starry-eyed commie agitprop about a classless new world of peace and equity blah blah blah.
Victims
Bensky is one of a group of about 15 survivors (out of more than 1,000 victims of Epstein) who continue to publicly fight for more people to be held accountable, even when that fight might feel bleak and overly politicized. As they navigate the world of advocacy on the national stage, they are still raising children and working through their trauma. By and large, they are not getting paid for their advocacy work. Some, like single mom Bensky, have been living off settlements reached with Epstein’s estate and working part-time jobs.
A friend in Montana told me about a woman he had known. She was an Army nurse in WW II, and spent something like eighteen months in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. SHE was a victim.
All those mewling suburbanites can fuck right off.
