What a wild football Sunday. And I’m just talking about the Broncos-Giants fourth quarter. The Brown won BIG for the first time in forever. The Florida Gators fired their coach. Florida State ought to do the same. The Blue Jays and Mariners will play one more game to determine who is the sacrificial lamb against the Dodgers. Liverpool are in freefall. And Max Verstappen had himself one hell of a weekend in Austin while the McLaren boys struggled a bit. And that’s it for sports.
Wait, why were we giving them aid to begin with? They’re a narcostate and have never really tried to stop the flow of drugs into the US. Cut them off.
Where’s Danny Ocean? Seriously, the security for this was either terrible or they had help from the inside. But it’s France, so the police will do a shit job of figuring it out.
If you want to be disgusted, then open this link. Maybe “enraged” is a better word choice. Either way, this highlights what I can only describe as industrial-level evil.
Ooh, he got picked up in the wrong state. Should have made his posts while in Chicago or New York, or somewhere else where a federal jusge would hold him up as a hero and issue an order halting his prosecution/deportation.
Why do they all end up being government employees? I can’t say I’m surprised. They can’t take over the academic and cultural establishment without actually taking the jobs. But do none of these cretins know how to be discrete?
Enjoy freezing to death, dummies. Because you’ve already gotten rid of most nuclear power as well.
This is the least surprising study ever. But I bet the researchers had fun.
I sure hope they win. Not just because the law is an absurd overreach, but because it’s also morally abhorrent.
Only in California. No, this isn’t a repeat of the last link. But it’s still pretty effed up.
Don’t tell me what I can do! Lol, what a silly law.
Here’s a lovely track. They had a few of them. Here’s another one. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Monday, dear friends.
“And I’m just talking about the Broncos-Giants fourth quarter. ”
Stupid lack of kicker.
If anyone can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory it’s the Giants.
Conceding 33 points in the fourth is also a bad idea.
I’d prefer not to.

Being distubed sounds painful, too.

Relinking a morning link in response to someone saying they don’t want to read that link in the comments below that same link is perhaps rude, certainly a bit uncouth, but I am not sure it rises to disgusting.
“Petro, who can be as vocal on social media as his American counterpart, rejected Trump’s accusations and defended his work to fight narcotics in Colombia, the world’s largest exporter of cocaine.”
They get paid for that cocaine in U.S. dollars, which they use to buy stuff from the U.S.
Indeed. It’s outrageous. Donald?
Why are we sending anyone aid when we’re borrowing money?
Fuck you, cut spending.
“Breast volume was assessed using the Grossman-Roudner Disk, a device that estimates breast size based on physical dimensions.”

We live in a world where people legally castrate, mutilate, and now kill children, but you can be criminally charged for whistling to a dolphin. Where the systematic murder, rape and enslavement of hundreds of thousands of Nigerian Christians is completely ignored, but Israel fighting a war against the same type of terrorists who are performing said murders, rapes, and enslavements is genocide. And the people on the left, who are responsible for all of this, loudly proclaim their virtue, and denounce those who oppose it as literally Hitler.

“In Texas, where dolphins are regularly spotted near shorelines, piers, and tour boats—especially around Galveston and Surfside Beach—it’s against the law to try to interact with them in any way. That includes feeding, swimming alongside, touching, or even attempting to get their attention. Under the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), it’s classified as harassment, a violation that can bring fines of up to $100,000 and even jail time.”
Stupid headline. It’s federal law.
Wait, you mean we can’t harpoon them and have a tuna feast?

Nobody is here on Monday morning. Which made check in fast. Declaring firearms went like this:
“Anything hazardous?”
“I need to declare firearms.”
“You have a firearm in the bag?”
“Two of them, yes.”
“Is it a pistol?”
“Both are, yes.”
I sign and date a card, then the agent makes a phonecall. There is about a ten minute wait while a teenager in a SHERRIF tactical vast arrives and calls in my DL number and CCW permit number and verifies I’m not a wanted criminal.
Then the agent puts some scotch tape on the card and asks me to open the bag.
“Is that the firearm?”
“Yeah, either’s fine with me.”
“Oh you have two of them.”
“Yes.”
“You’ll need another card then.”
My shooting backpack/carryon WAS flagged for additional screening… because my toothpaste was at the limit.

“Aguilar crossed the border illegally in 2018 as an unaccompanied minor, and a year later, a judge issued a final order of removal. He has since piled up liquor-related charges, according to Homeland Security.”
Am I the only one who finds it odd that illegals with removal orders against them seem to have no problem staying here and running up the score on their rap sheet?
When you start by ignoring the law, what’s ignoring other laws that you dislike?
I, too, was thinking “he had a removal order 6 years ago, what’s the hold-up?”
I’d like a list of countries can I illegally enter, get told to leave and then just hang around for half a decade or more.
Just hang around committing crimes for a half decade or more, even.

“Josefa Ippolito–Shepherd, 76, of Washington, DC, said the “feces” or “skunk” smell emanating from 73-year-old next-door resident Thomas Cackett’s doorway made her dread coming home….
After five years of representing herself, Ippolito-Shepherd finally won her case in the DC Court of Appeals. A lower-court judge had already ruled in her favor in 2023, but Cackett, the stoner neighbor, appealed.
The higher court ended up siding with Ippolito–Sheppard, too, saying her “use and enjoyment of her own property” was more important than Cackett’s “use and enjoyment of his marijuana.’’
Cackett tried arguing that he only smoked once a day and never for longer than 5 minutes — all to cope with his many health conditions, including skin cancer, chronic hepatitis, arthritis and sciatica….
The man has now been banned from smoking within 25 feet of Ippolito–Sheppard’s home — including on his own property.”

That’s a lot of words to say “wood”.
How the fuck is the first flight out delayed by 2 hours already?
Waiting for all the other passengers to be screened ’cause some guy had too much toothpaste?
I spent a great deal of effort getting that bag sanitized. There were a couple of loose projectiles (from being pulled and weighed at chronograph) wedged in there.
Also, since there were no passengers, TSA was going all out in screening. Sone poor lady had to leave behind four jars of jam.
Malicious compliance for the win!
After a couple of uncomfortable interactions with the TSA, I now have completely separate gun bags and luggage bags. Never shall the ‘twain meet.
I need something to use on the range. Right now it’s looking like I might not make it to the store to pick up my ammo today.
Ugh, the jam jars is ridiculous. You ha e to adhere to the oz limit idiocy
Oddly enough, if she told other passengers while in line and they each took a jar, then there would be no issue.
Obviously, you need to change the barrel to SmartPipe!
And of course this makes me miss my connection.
Blame the shutdown and lack of ATC.
They say the plane is broken.
They didn’t know that last night?
They say the plane is broken.
Pilot on our flight from SEA to CMH (as close to verbatim as I can remember):
“Don’t worry about that noise from outside the plane. Because the little engine in the back of the plane isn’t working, we need auxiliary power to start the main engines. This is completely normal.”
Uh, if you mean the on-board APU isn’t working, that’s not “completely normal.” Also, what is powering the lights and air handling while we are sitting here?
Ground power is powering the lights most likely if the APU is failing. They can use an external APU in lieu of. Though I dont know the FAR regulations on it
The check engine light came on. The pilot is busy taping a picture of his girlfriend over it and should only take a moment.
Blame the BoomJam that lady tried to bring on the plane!
Easiest way to make sure every flight is delayed?
“A 37-year-old accountant has been arrested after allegedly opening fire on a MAGA supporter who had a Trump flag in his yard.
Benjamin Michael Campbell is charged with firing shots at the home of Mark Thomas, 62, in Nantahala Gorge, North Carolina on September 6….
The Republican homeowner said he checked his security cameras, and watched a man wearing an ‘Antifa-style mask’ emerge from his Jeep Cherokee to inspect a Trump banner attached to a bus parked on the Thomas family property.
‘He was driving along, saw the sign, slammed on his brakes, you know, had a political trigger moment, and he just had to tear the sign down,’ Thomas said.
‘He started reaching up on his tippy toes, trying to get to the edge of the sign. I just thought to myself, this is not happening. I don’t believe this….
Thomas said he walked out to his porch while armed with the rifle, and fired two warning shots into the air from a spot where Campbell could ‘very clearly’ see him….
The intruder returned to his Jeep, but instead of heeding Thomas’ warning and leaving, he circled back down his road while raising a gun through the sun roof and firing multiple times, video shows.”

Two retards fighting.
Seriously, I’m surprised that both of them weren’t arrested. Normally firing your gun into the air in the absence of an imminent deadly threat gets you a reckless endangerment charge at a minimum.

Federal Government Shutdown – Day Whatever
There comes a point in every man’s life where they must take stock and account for their achievments and failures. This is not one of them. I dragged my feet into my office to once again power on my computer to stare aimlessly into the abyss or governmental insanity.
Whispers in the hall now speak of feral children having to eat beans and rice, overpaid and understaffed controllers lamenting they might have to ‘work to pay bills’.
On the technician side of the building, we recieved 15 rib-eye steaks from our janitor
We didnt question, but I suspect they fell off a truck or were dug out of a bin somewhere. It doesn’t matter, it has been 8 hours since we’ve eaten and it might be our last chance to eat again for a couple of hours.
A spider has weaved a glorious web outside our window, unaware that we are shutdown but seemingly knowing it must reclaim its nature and this concrete piece of humanity will be its kingdom. We’ve named him George.
George spins his web because he must. We calibrate, maintain and wait; perhaps that’s our web, spun only to say we did.
From The Doldrums, OBE, October 20, 2025.
Well done. If this goes in long enough, you’ll have a best seller on your hands.
Hear, hear!
Maryland will provide free rail and commuter bus transit to federal workers during shutdown
Why do they need transportation if they’re shut down?
We must continue our meaningless routines FourScore!
They need to get ridership numbers up to justify subsidies?

Priceless.
These are just excellent, OBE.
Excellent!
The Euros seem to have lost their collective minds. German nuke plants all shut down because, now affordable energy from Russia is being cut off, so their industry is in complete collap
collapse – but somehow they are going to build up their military with no energy, money, or industry – then kick Russian asses for some reason they can’t articulate.
Their sense of superiority over the ghastly Americans will sustain them.
Their solution is to start a war the Americans and Turks will fight for them.
I know – Free BYZANTIUM! Drive the Turks out of Asia Minor.
That was the plan the British blocked in the Crimean War.
New York and friends are only slightly behind in following them off the cliff.

So Kentucky man arrested for effigies with no names, just government positions, as a Halloween display. MSM silent.

We’re the Cleveland Browns.
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/lTSfuZXZk-o
It was chilly, wet, and windy at the game. The most shocking play was the missed interception by the Dolphins that somehow became a Jeudy reception. The Browns also finally scored more than 17 points in a game.
In better news, the Ravens are now last in the AFC North.
“Horrified families find NEEDLES in candy handed out in Southern town as police issue warning ahead of Halloween
Police in Texas have issued a public safety warning following multiple reports of sewing pins found inside Halloween candy.
The Santa Fe Police Department (SFPD) has issued a public safety warning following multiple reports of sewing pins found inside candy handed out during the city’s Homecoming Parade.
An initial statement mistakenly referred to ‘pen needles,’ but police have since corrected the error and confirmed that the objects found were sewing pins.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-15203187/Horrified-families-NEEDLES-candy-handed-Southern-town-police-issue-warning-ahead-Halloween.html
But no need to correct the shouty headline?
Needles and razors in candy bars seems to be a news headline every year for the last 40. Odd part is the evil needle people only do this at Halloween. They don’t take jobs at convenience stores and sabotage the candy the other 360 days of the year, just the week of Halloween.
My mom worked at a hospital for many years. They used to x-ray kids’ candy. They never found a single razor blade or needle.
As far as I remember, the only actual case of Halloween poisoning was a father killing his son for insurance money and trying to blame it on Halloween candy.
Anyone remember poisoned Tylenol?
That was a guy trying to kill his wife or vice versa and tried to make it look random by poisoning other Tylenol first?
Always saw it as a way for parents to take candy from kids under an auspicious guise of “danger” without feeling they were stealing their kids labor

“Federal agents are investigating after saying they found a hunting stand within sight of where Donald Trump typically exits Air Force One prior to a recent trip to West Palm Beach, Florida, by the president.
The US Secret Service said it made the discovery while conducting technological and physical security sweeps around the airport in West Palm Beach, where Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is, in advance of the president traveling there on Friday.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/20/trump-hunting-stand-mar-a-lago-fbi
Wouldn’t it have been better to stake it out? Also, not everything is nefarious
Is there a lot of deer hunting in West Palm Beach?
Those were my thoughts as well. I imagine there is more to it than we are being told.
Within sight covers a lot of ground, I suspect it would be hard to find places in the South that aren’t ‘within sight’ of a hunting blind or stand.
No idea if anyone used it for hunting.
My stands are a little off the beaten path but in a couple weeks I’m going to stake them out to keep any long eared trespassers off my property.
Can’t be too safe.
While I haven’t seen any whitetailed rats this year yet, I did see a snowshoe hare a few weeks ago. It’s been a while since one poked it’s furry nose out.
I suspect USSS needed a win…so this was it
How much deer hunting, using rifles and all, is right next to an airport?
You’d be surprised. Most airports, especially near wooded areas, employ hunters to ensure wildlife doesnt kill a plane full of humans
Years ago I went for a flight with a friend out of Beverly, MA – we had to wait on takeoff for a coyote and her pups to clear the runway. Then we had to go-around on landing because of deer on the runway.
The airport in Cordova, AK has a siren that goes off when a large plane approaches to scare away moose and other wildlife. The gravel runway for small planes has no such alarm so you have to do a flyover first.
My uncle in Port Alsworth Alaska hit two geese on landing once. After he landed he went back and managed to find one of them and ate it.
Unconventional hunting method, but I suppose it gives the goose a fair chance.
Maybe press/paparazzi?

“At the same time, deep divisions exist in a state where the CTU is viewed as winning favorable contracts in the same period when scores of Chicago school children lack proficiency in math and reading and enrollment has contracted even as administrative hires have ramped up and buildings remain underutilized.”
I used to give the Chicago and Illinois teachers the benefit of the doubt but the fact that they have allowed this lady to lead their union while math and reading scores has decreased shows that educating children to be proficient in the basics are at best secondary. I dream of a future where the public sector union members are begging in the streets doling out blow jobs for the basics and eating cat food to survive all because of their stupidity and avarice.
“I used to give the Chicago and Illinois teachers the benefit of the doubt”
Why?
Lack of information.
I had a couple of acquaintances who taught at CPS so I’ve always believed that they had the best interest of the students at heart but these last couple of years, I’ve come to grips that they are teaching because it’s easy and to push their warped world view on the students.
All teachers unions are like that.
I used to think my hatred of teachers was just irrational from my general hatred of school.
As I had to deal with teachers as a parent, I realized it was a rational reaction to their petty tyranny and vapid stupidity.
My wife banned me from parent teacher conferences and I was very happy when we home schooled the youngest one.
I loved school, since I was trying to learn. But hated many of the teachers for being dumber than a box of rocks and more ignorant than the students.
My mom told me in first grade I loved school, but by second grade I had decided that homework was stupid if I already understood the lessons.
From there I always got in trouble for refusing to do it.
I’m sorry ron, but this is hilarious for someone that ended up in the Marine Corps.

Grade schoolers should not have homework.
That started after I was done going after an elementary education degree.
Teaching has long since moved from educating and passing down knowledge to ‘shaping’ young minds.
I was told for over a decade I needed to be “well rounded”
Nono should have gone to electrician school followed by welding school.
Went to my nephew’s HS graduation back in May (not Illinois). The principal gave one of the speeches. As part of the speech, she listed what the seniors had accomplished. Among her list of accomplishments were things like respecting diversity, learning to work together, respecting others. Not one single word about any academic accomplishment.
I consider the CTU to be a terrorist organization.
I can count on one hand the number of K-12 teachers i had any respect for, and i know two of them moonlighted in other occupations which probably had a lot to do with it.
While in college I would tutor at a local Chicago school. The teacher was never in the classroom when I showed up, because she had some kind of meeting. I guess scheduling meetings outside of class time was against union rules.
I went to a good school with mostly great teachers and a few awful ones.
That said, it has never been more obvious that their unions run the local party machine in every blue area. They take the lion’s share of tax dollars, skim some off the top for themselves, and launder the rest back to Democrats to keep the grift going. Perpetual motion achieved.
It’s the same in ‘red’ states too Rwy. Even here in Idaho, a Right to work state the state government gives the Idaho education association a seat at the budget table.
Greeting Glibs. Hope you are having a great start to your week.
This weekend’s high school reunion went surprisingly well. Mrs. TOK declined not to go, but there were 30-40 people there, no political talk, and I drank a lovely amber ale. I spent a lot of time talking to my childhood best friend, and we exchanged phone numbers. I had forgotten how many of my classmates went to Catholic grade school with me, we were together for 12 years.
Meanwhile, my oldest flew the coop and moved herself out while we were at they gym Saturday morning. She texted us she had to go in early to work, which sounded fishy, and when we looked in her room most of her clothes, her computer, and bathroom stuff were all gone. She also drained her bank account to the tune of $4000 (my SIL had been helping her with finances so she had access). We thought she moved back with the cult, but I staked out her work and she was still there, she left with some guy who I assume was “Roger”, the unemployed guy who has been coming into the gas station to buy cigarettes and snacks for her with his EBT card. I guess someone is letting him live in their trailer. We deep cleaned her room and found at least 75 full size candy wrappers. So like any addict, she used us until it got uncomfortable, and moved on to the next sucker. She still hasn’t texted any of us to say she moved out. We’re still in shock but it is already noticeably quieter in the house.
Time to change the locks?
Way ahead of you. I changed the front door lock on Saturday. She never had access to a garage door opener.
At least she is holding down a job.
For now. She has gotten fired from other jobs for poor hygiene Without us making her take showers and wash her clothes, it’s a safe bet that will happen again.
Good luck with that, wonder how long the money will last with Roger.
It’s already gone.
UnCiv, that is most likely true.
I understand the trials and tribulations of child rearing. Though yours are different than mine there are a lot of common threads.
My daughter is getting married on Wednesday, number 3. At least at her age she isn’t pregnant.
I threw her out of the house when she was about 20, won’t go to school and wouldn’t work but had money for cigarettes and time to dance
with the cowboys at night.
She’s 59 now and seems to have her act sort of together and I still love her.
I still love all my kids too. But damn they can be frustrating can’t they? This one has mental health issues and refuses help, so I’m not sure there is any hope for her. All you can do is pray at this point.
Sorry to hear it. I dealt with that via my wife’s family. It’s not pleasant.
Sorry for your troubles, TOK; it’s hard when people really don’t want to help themselves.
It is very sad. There are a lot of people like that out there. For me, the worst part was watching her leave with that guy. She gravitates toward trashy people. After we got her out of that cult, we gave her a nice environment to live in, and she went right back to a trashy environment where nobody will hold her to any kind of standard.
Sorry TOK.
The pain of worrying from afar is different is different from the pain of watching shit go down in real time and being unable to stop it.
My aunt had a philosophy of no guilt. She did the best she could, and their choices are their own. (I honestly don’t know if she really was able to do this successfully, as she allowed her druggie son to live with her.) Now, while I generally admire this approach, she started expecting them to make good choices way too early (like, at 8 [“They’ve reached the age of accountability.”] They’re EIGHT. No.)
Anyway, we had a long discussion about this while XY was really starting to ramp up his troublemaking, and we see how that turned out. (Quite well.)
You do the best you can, but once they’re out, you kind of have to detach.
Don’t let her come back. At all. Ever.
My Mom did the same thing with my older brother. Did all she could to help him, but he didn’t want to do what was right or what he was supposed to do. She finally reached that breaking point of him having to leave home and figure it out for himself.
Parenting is hard and all we can hope for is that our children take some of our lessons and apply them to their lives and do better.
It’s early, but the house is already more calm. Her living space smelled horribly. I scrubbed and sanitized the bathroom, and we either threw away or packed up everything from the bedroom. It still smells up there, so we’re going to replace the carpeting.
She left in the way an abused person runs from their abuser. And my wife has taken that personally. So no, she is not welcome back ever. My SIL has been her biggest advocate and spent so much time off working taking her to medical appointments and grocery shopping. She burned that bridge too. But my SIL is not one to let things lie. I can see her dropping by my kid’s work and making it really awkward.

“The heavy-handed push to honor Kirk, who held views that many see as racist and sexist, follows Donald Trump’s moves to restore monuments of Confederate leaders that were removed in recent years, which appear to be part of a broad effort to impose rightwing views on the country…
“The way in which you keep the culture war going – or the way that you win it – is to have religious icons like Charlie and use their face and their name and their likeness to further your cause,” said Matthew Boedy, an English professor at the University of North Georgia who has studied Christian nationalism….
Kirk often criticized gay and transgender rights and made Islamaphobic statements and once suggested that the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a “mistake”. ”

We don’t talk enough about the George Floyd pregnant woman gun pointing. It was because she was a transphobe.
I did have a friend (RIP Liz) who thought the Civil Rights movement came way too early, and would have solved itself given time, been more organic, and hold better.
I am not too sure about whether it came too early, but I think it would have held better if it was much more limited in scope, and stayed within the parameters of the constitution. In other words, treat everyone as equal in relationship to the gov’t, and do not step on peoples right to hate.
Instead of being twisted by the courts as a means to grift and to turn everyone on each other. Yeah, that’s been fun to watch.
Frankly, after 50 odd years of that, it’s amazing the country hasn’t bubbled over into more violence over it.
*looks out window*
Are you sure it hasn’t, Rhy?
The Civil Rights Act said that no level of government can discriminate against the people. This was all well and good.
Then it said that private parties can discriminate in public transactions. This was an unconstitutional power grab.
So, I am OK with most of the Civil Rights Act.
The behavior of the judiciary for the last 60 years . . . . not so much.
Then it said that private parties can‘t discriminate
It’s always best to proof read after you hit post.
I like Kirk more now.

My wife is looking at starting a chocolate-based food blog. So not a typical food blog with recipies, more reviews and discussion. I’m looking for recommendations for software for said blog. I know the PTB here hate WordPress, but what else is there?
Most CMS programs don’t run well on Chocolate.
/end snark.
Sorry, but all I’ve got are jokes.
Substack?
That’s a good thought. Do they have a free level?
Yes, afaik.
I hate the current iteration of WordPress, which is klunky for people who like to code. However, there are plugins that can make it behave like it used to.
THAT SAID, if WordPress really fucks me over, I will move to ClassicPress.
Classic Press is how I enjoy my coffee.
Chocolate? Try George Clinton

“The Israeli military launched heavy airstrikes across Gaza on Sunday, killing at least 45 Palestinians, marking the deadliest day of Israeli attacks in the Strip since the ceasefire went into effect on October 10.
The IDF stepped up its attacks on Gaza after alleging its troops were attacked by Palestinian militants in Rafah, southern Gaza, though some reports indicate an explosion was caused by an Israeli vehicle running over an unexploded bomb.”

Who knows?
There are times when I hate to be right.
This is one of those times.
Don’t care.
Hope they all have fun.
Turned on the F1 race just as the lights went out. Fast asleep by lap 3. I revived at about the mid point and dozed on and off. I guess Norris deserves a gold star for “managing” his gimmick tires and getting by Leclerc at the end.
Yesterday’s match was apparently Halloween themed.
There was a movie-version Harley Quinn there. I did not know that there were scrotum shaped base pads for Glock mags available, but I should have had less faith in humanity.
So, instead of Truck Nutz, there are Glock Nutz?
Cock Glock?
The United States will slash assistance to Colombia and enact tariffs on its exports because the country’s leader, Gustavo Petro, “does nothing to stop” drug production, President Donald Trump said Sunday, escalating the friction between Washington and one of its closest allies in Latin America.
While you’re at it, could you slash foreign aid to every country to zero?

A new study published in The Journal of Turkish Family Physician provides evidence that breast size and marital status may be related to a woman’s self-esteem.
Hmmm… Turkey. Maybe it is a legitimate study.
What about their drumstick study?
Ah, it was that asshole Erdoğan who started that. I have noticed that nobody actually pronounces it correctly but who cares. Using it means you’re one of the good ones.
Occupied Byzantium is the proper name to use in reference to the country squatting on Asia Minor.
Can we have a Final Crusade already?
See! Told ya so!
No pictures of damage, shrapnel, or even where the CHP vehicle was located.
Gavin got his headline though
Dont know why I needed to dig to find it…but

Guess there were photos and news is just lazy fucks.
Artillery is no joke.
Some section chief screwed up, wonder if it had a time fuse and they set it wrong.
Had it happen to me once, the gun was supposed to be set at azimuth 3224, my gunner set it to 2334 and I didn’t catch it when I did my check.
Because we were firing rocket assisted ammo and it was an angle error, I shot about 13 miles from where we were aiming.
Luckily it was at 29 Palms and all I did was blow holes in the desert.
I was thinking at most it was part of a sabot.
That’s a smaller dent than the cops put on the cars by laying their utility belts on them.

Lol, people are idiots
I love the way the working assumption is that only Latinos are illegal immigrants.
Right? It’s just assumed that anything related to ICE is “offensive” because it’s San Jose? That’s a hell of an implication.
These are the same ass clowns who came up with Latinx.
OFFS!
In Texas, where dolphins are regularly spotted near shorelines, piers, and tour boats—especially around Galveston and Surfside Beach—it’s against the law to try to interact with them in any way. That includes feeding, swimming alongside, touching, or even attempting to get their attention. Under the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), it’s classified as harassment, a violation that can bring fines of up to $100,000 and even jail time.
And we thought this was America.
I’m suddenly seeing some good economic signs. Gas prices have been down and are staying there (for now). My wife found bacon at a decent price, and eggs are less than $2 a dozen. Anyone else seeing this?
Gas is still $3. I haven’t checked the prices of bacon or eggs of late.
So give and take, but prices seem stable. Gas briefly here went to 2.60/gal but back to 2.88 or 2.75/gal depending on what road it is on.
Dont know egg prices since we get ours from a farm for $3/dz
Gas is $2.80 here. Wife buys eggs from a friend. I only eat bacon at the monthly potluck.
Bacon for me is and has been $3.50-3.99 a lb since I make my own. Pork belly slab prices have hovered there since 2020
Beef prices are out of hand though. Whole chicken is still $1.49/lb and we just quarter and bone it…which leads to stock, a two-fer.
Veggie prices are stable too.
Gas about 90 miles south can be had for $2.49/gallon.
Gas has indeed gone down:
https://www.gasbuddy.com/charts
Judging by when the drop happened, it’s probably seasonal.
Gas being $3 means it has gone down. $3 now is about $2.43 in 2020 dollars.
By that metric, my pay has gone down too.
I’d rather say it’s stayed flat and not go down that road.
Yep, that’s what inflation does, and it’s why the ‘wealth gap’ continues to widen. Price increases are just the fever symptom of the far more debilitating disease.
Go away and leave me to my “alternate interpretation”
I apologize. I guess it is cruel to point things out when there is no possibility for us to do anything about them.
I guess I should use more indicators of when I’m being silly.
Breaking legs and handing out crutches.
I was just playing along. I know you were joking.
I saw a 75 foot extention cord at a hardware store for $115 this morning. Then I checked Home Depot prices. I’ll be buying the $69 one that’s the same brand there.
Still high but likely in part do to tarrifs.
Guess there were photos and news is just lazy fucks.
It’s easier to let people assume Trump put a giant crater right in the middle of the road.
“Rights”
Protesters showed up to oppose a wide range of issues, including the administration’s immigration tactics and its push for federal and military intervention in Democratic-led states as a way to tackle crime. The diversity of concerns was strung together by the broader messaging of democracy, constitutional rights and the freedom the U.S. was founded on.
The right to control others is the most important right.
I didnt know Tennessee was a democratic led state….
TN republicans acted like Idaho democrats when I lived there.
immigration tactics
i.e., enforcing the law?
Also, there was no broader message to tie it all together…that is why it failed, why Senate Dems are worried now, and why the Republicans now have enough rope to hang themselves with
Yes, it was very vague. Basically, “We don’t like Trump”. For most people life is more of a mixed bag than “everything Trump does is bad.”
It was well-funded street theater and another required stop on the commie-lite election circuit.
We were in western Mass over the weekend, around Lenox – “old, rich, white – plus farmers” is how I described it.
The oldsters were joyously LARPing the good old days when they were protesting The Man (they are The Man now, of course).
“When police arrived, they found Jay Rantala outside the building, screaming that his son had been killed. Inside the seventh-floor unit, officers discovered 4-year-old JJR lying face down in a bathtub partially filled with bloody water. A large kitchen knife was nearby.
The boy’s mother, Joelene Louise Rodriguez, 45, answered the door with dried blood on her wrists and reportedly told officers, “They made me do it… He’s gone.”
According to the police probable cause statement obtained by The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI, Rodriguez later confessed that she had “sacrificed” her son with a knife as he sat in the bathtub, claiming she believed she needed to kill him “to protect her family.” She told investigators she left water in the tub because it would be “comforting” for the boy, who had been diagnosed with level-3 autism.”

Yikes!
Broken people exist…and its terrible
I volunteer to disembowel these kind of freaks.
I’ll do it all day long and go home and sleep soundly after kissing my kids and snuggling my cats.
Cops need to put these people down on the spot.
Trump is such a ruthless tyrant he puts mocking videos on social media.
Won’t someone stop him before it’s too late?
PSA for all you wrench spinners out there: Brooks, Ron, Mad Scientist, et. al. Circle C Country Supply in Bazine KS has a huge selection of individual sockets and bits. You know for those times when you just want to replace to 2 or 6 missing without buying a whole new set.
I’m sure they enjoy being called wench spinners.
You gotta size em right.

Or at least I fancy myself that way. Let me have one fantasy.
“HORROR: 9-year-old Boy and 10-year-old Girl R*pe and Scalp Innocent Child in an Incredibly Terrifying Attack – Pair Charged with Several Felonies, Including Attempted Murder
The New York Times reported on Thursday that the two children face several felony counts, including attempted murder, four counts of r*pe, two counts of felonious assault, strangulation, and kidnapping, over an incident that occurred last month in a wooded field in Cleveland, Ohio.
Antavia Kennibrew, the victim’s mother, revealed to WOIO that she dropped her daughter off Sept. 13 at a family member’s home in Cleveland, thinking she would be okay.
But the 5-year-old walked out the front door and was savagely beaten by a group of kids outside.”

WTF??
I like how the URL has the word “rape” in it but we can’t use it in the article because of idiotic censorship/demonetization algorithms
The URL with rape in the headline isn’t the one that censored it.
Other than the ages, any additional information on the prepetrators? There has to be more to the story, this is not normal behavior even for disturbed children.
Neighbor kid in our complex back in the day said the hood was super rough. He said the predators were usually older single men. The chain remains unbroken.
Relatively local, and I’ve been trying to avoid as much of the coverage as I can.
My current thoughts on it are delenda est.
Find the people who abused the abusers. Make it public.
He looms like a science fiction monster
A president steeped in constitutional lore might have been offended by claims he’s acting as a king.
But Donald Trump and his entourage responded with mockery to weekend “No Kings” protests by millions of Americans — embracing the narrative in a way that explains his growing hubris and belief that he has unchecked power.
——-
It was a clever political trick. MAGA supporters can blast anyone who takes offense to the posts as lacking a sense of humor and being prim. The posts also trivialize protesters’ gravely serious claims that America is witnessing a wannabe autocrat. But they also subtly advance the thesis that Trump is all-powerful and immune from dissent, an attractive proposition to voters who like a strongman.
The Fifty Foot Tall President!
Sure, Jan.
Keep fanning those flames.
I don’t think that “wanna be autocrat” is entirely wrong, but that could equally be applied to Mr. Pen & Phone.
He is a stronger president than we’ve seen in a while. But he’s doing what people voted for, where Biden kept passing the buck and saying things were out of his hands.
My youngest is learning the joys of being a Navy wife. Her husband’s deployment keeps getting extended by 10 days at a time. This was a tough deployment, starting in the Pacific, then 3 months in the Middle East, now back in the Pacific near China. 7 months in, and probably another month? I guess they’re getting every last bit of use out of this ship before it’s retired.

My wife feels her pain.
In 2003 I did a 6 month deployment to Okinawa.
While we were over there the Iraq war kicked off so the deployment got extended to a year.
Came home and 3 months later we were sent to Iraq to do convoy security for 7 months.
After that, out of all the ones who did both deployments, 3 of us were still married.
I wish I had been deployed that much.
Re Louvre. Have they checked up on Julian Glover?
I don’t think that “wanna be autocrat” is entirely wrong, but that could equally be applied to Mr. Pen & Phone.

You know for those times when you just want to replace to 2 or 6 missing without buying a whole new set.
I hope they have plenty of 10mms.
They do, but they all measure out at 9.2 mm
