Political Thoughts

As of this writing, the reasons for this nut job to walk into an in-session college and shoot three people dead and shoot five to critical condition.

Of course the liberals moaned that we must get rid of guns, knives too if necessary.

Since then, this guy shot and killed himself.  There's still little known about him but he's gone and the world is a better place because. 

The crazed mass shooter who shot dead three students and left five others in critical condition at Michigan State University was identified Tuesday as 43-year-old Anthony Dwayne McRae.

The gunman was identified as police confirmed he was found dead of suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound at 11:35 p.m., just over three hours after he first opened fire.

Cops earlier said the killer was not thought to be connected to the university, and police did not reveal a possible motive in Tuesday’s early morning update.

Nikki Haley Running for President; CNN's Don Lemon does not approve

The Nikki story from this past week is hilarious.

First, she announced publicly that she was throwing her hat into the ring for American president 2024.

The funniest part of this story is the wonderful CNN pundit Don Lemon.  When Haley's decision is discussed, the very wise Lemon informs the world that females, from mid-30's to mid-50's....well they are out of their prime.

Here we have a President, 80 years old, falling off of bikes, making gaffes every time he speaks, who rarely speaks the truth.

AND WOMEN ARE OUT OF THEIR PRIME IN THEIR 50'S!!???

This man needs to go.

And as for Haley, I suspect she's putting her name out there for consideration as a VP choice.

----------------------------------------------------------

Palestine Train Wreck

The story of the train derailment in Palestine, Ohio, is disgraceful.

And now I hear that some sort of bomb detonator has been found and this derailment, so it is hinted, was the work of terrorists.  This is just idle gossip and the detonator was not close to the actual site of derailment.

Still and so, the government of all kinds of bureaucracies did not show up to help these people while their water tastes awful and turns blue, fish and birds are laying dead, damage is great.

Yet Biden took a sneak trip to the Ukraine, the hell with hurt American towns.

Political Cartoon for the Week
-------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

Review of "Animal Control"
----------------------------------------------------------

A group of local animal control workers' lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not. Leading the crew is Frank, an opinionated, eccentric animal control officer who may not have gone to college but is still the most well-read person in the room. In his past life as… 

 My daughter and I watched this new show as we quite enjoy shows about animals.  We thought this would be a real laugh.

It wasn't.

The  leader of this animal control group was once a cop.  He is portrayed as a snarky, cynical type.  One scene has him sticking a chewy in a worker's pocket as ostriches were let loose to chase him.  Shots of the ostriches pecking to get in his pocket were frequent.

First of all, this was a terrible scene..  I just did not understand why the boss wanted to put his employees safety at risk and the shots of a man being chased by ostriches....was just not funny.

In fact this show was not funny, the animals were not cute (besides the ostriches there was a huge boa constrictor...not cute or funny).

Forget it.  Both my daughter and myself give it a thumbs down.

---------------------------------------------------

Weekly Idle Gossip

Just a collection on social/political items that caught my attention.  Now I try to catch yon reader's attention.

Five former Memphis police officers pleaded not guilty Friday to second-degree murder and other charges in the violent arrest and death of Tyre Nichols.

Just heard that the five police officers charged with beating Tyre Nichols to death pleaded not guilty.  This court case should be real interesting.

Kelly Rippa and Ryan Seacrest break up; Judge on "Night Court" has some thoughts

The resignation of Ryan Seacrest was on all the news this week.  I am not particularly in love with this series but upon channel-surfing I might watch for a bit.

Seems "American Idol" is now starting up and Ryan is tired of commuting between Los Angeles and New York.  He has been a co-host with Kelly Rippa for over 6 years.  Ryan will be replaced by Mark Consuelos- Kelly's husband.

There was a laugh line on "Night Court" this week.  The judge made some crack, as I paraphrase:

"You remind me of Kelly Rippa and Mark Consuelos when they are co-hosting and we can feel the heated lust between them".

I do sense that Kelly and Mark have a somewhat lustful relationship.

We will soon be seeing plenty of Kelly's husband soon.

Ramen Noodles

We have, almost always, about 25 packets of Ramen noodles in our pantry most times.

I hereby declare ramen noodles the best noodles ever, having fed most college kids and poor people.

I speak with pride of my love for this dish, add a dollop of butter, and slurp away.

--------------------------------------------

Aldi's

I went to what is a new grocery store near me....known as ALDI.

This is just the weirdest grocery store.

Now I am a well-trained grocery shopper but the groceries in Aldo are quite different.  For example, you will find NO ramen noodles in Aldi.

Weird.  All kinds of foreign groceries.

------------------------------------------------

President Jimmy Carter....Let us provide the truth

I understand that Jimmy Carter is very ill and not likely to live much longer.

I pray he does not suffer and will rest in peace.

He was the worst president this country has ever had, even worse than Biden.

House mortgage rates were up around 18% and the GAS LINES!

Who could forget sitting in a gas line to put gas in your car for over an hour?

Then there was the taking of American hostages and the rescue that failed miserable.

Still, I do not think Carter was taking bribes from other countries.

He just was a liberal who thought being a liberal was the way for America to go.

It was not.

TIME FOR A SMILE

[Alas Babylon!]

There’s an Aldi that opened up in a nearby town. I love it.

I just need to remember to bring a quarter and a pocketful of plastic shopping bags.

Having lived overseas for more than a decade in several countries, I appreciate some of those foreign food items, but recognize tastes vary.

Aldi’s is having a sale on fresh asparagus that’s 50 cents a pound cheaper than Walmart!

[shalom aleichem]

Aldi is from Germany. You put a quarter in a slot and get a shopping cart, and if you put it back ou get your qwuatrter back. Their stuff is healthful. Ramen’s aren’t high on “health food” list. (But I like them too).

As for Jimmuh Carter, yes he was ineffective and not a good manager, BUT Biden is mean and deliberately trying to destroy the country and foster hate among the ethnic groups and classes. So I would rate Biden much much worse. Intention matters, in my book.

[Qiviut]

I have an Aldi’s within 3 mi of my house. I always shop there first and then if there’s anything left on my grocery list that Aldi’s does not have, I will go to another store. For the items I buy there, the prices are usually the lowest in the area and the quality of the items is good, including fresh produce.

[rodguy911]

And as for Haley, I suspect she's putting her name out there for consideration as a VP choice.

I think you are right about Tricky Nikki. Shes in the back of the line for females trying to be DJT's Veep. She won't get it but might get a cabinet post,who knows.

If I were a female the last two ladies I would want to run against would be MTG from Georgia or the likely VP for Trump my pick:The fearless Kari Lake!!

photos of Kari Lake with president Trump:

[who knows what evil?]

Nikki can be ambassador to India...

[Sirius Lee]

The fearless Kari Lake!!

I would prefer a non-politician as well.

[.44 Special]

Chuck U. Toad? The last Chuck U. I knew was Charles Ulysses Farley. Good ol’ Chuck U. Farley. Not familiar with Toad Dude. Is he a symp or a full hypocrit illusionist.

[DanZ]

Nikki can be ambassador to India...

Now that is an interesting comment. India is tied tightly to Russia. India has purchased Russian military equipment since the 1940's right after they kicked out the Brits.

Are you saying the Nimarata Haley would have easier access to the Russians were she to be stationed in India?

Help Needed

[Alas Babylon!]

Chuck Todd...

Trump called him Sleepy-eye.

We think Toad is a better name for him than Todd.

Joe can't climb Air Force 1's steps so his Chinese handlers rigged a special lifting device for him.
