The Felon Blows A Gasket

Over the weekend The Felon held a surprise press conference and launched into an unhinged rant about how his illegal Iran bombing hit the "refrigerator door" with "no moon"—whatever the hell that means and when a reporter asked:

"I'm wondering now, sir, if you believe that Iran has given up its long history of ambitions with nuclear weapons or what you would like to see from them to prove that they do? And what types of meetings is your administration looking for next week with Iran."

The Felon tossed this salad:

"So Iran wants to meet. As you know their sites were obliterated, their very evil nuclear sites. They were— Now has been proven, we had some fake news for a little while. The same people that covered the Hunter Biden laptop was from Russia, the same people that did three or four... The Russia, Russia, Russia hoax."

The reporter interrupted but The Felon went on:

"No, no, wait! Just listen. They came up with something that delayed the credit that our great pilots and these great American— I mean what talent that was! And they hit it right down in the spot. 52,000 feet. Think of this: dark, no moon, you couldn't see a thing and they hit the refrigerator door as they say. That's the size of the target. Umm... And overwhelmingly and it's amazing what was done. We're the only ones that could have done it and we took out two of the other sites also in addition to that. We finished them off. That, uh, was, uh, very evil intention. I believe that — and again time will tell — but I don't believe that they're going to go back into nuclear any time soon. They spent over a trillion dollars on nuclear and they never got it together. And nothing was moved from the site by the way. To do that is very dangerous. It's very, very heavy material. Those cars were most likely the cars of masons because they were pouring concrete, uh, at the top at the hatch as you know, the hatch going into the nuclear site. They wanted to reinforce it and they had some masons, uh, there pouring concrete. By the way that concrete was obliterated. It hit exactly at the concrete. It was—I don't think it had a chance to dry. But, uh, everything down there's under millions of tons of rock."

The truth is that we still don't know if the strikes achieved their goal of dismantling Iran's nuclear program. A leaked Pentagon memo stated that the bombings may have only set the Iranians back a few months. It's also possible that 400 kilograms of enriched uranium, enough to build ten atomic bombs, survived the attacks.

Think of it like this: if the US bombed those sites into oblivion, then why did Israel bomb the exact same spots the very next day?

Corey Hinderstein, vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, has stated that the uranium could have been stored in containers, making it "easily moveable" and "easily concealable" which is the exact opposite of what The Felon, who never met a lie he didn’t tell, is claiming.

Professor Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey has studied Iran's nuclear program for years and believes that there are "more sites that we don't know about because Iran was always hedging its bets."

Only time will tell how much success or failure The Felon's bombing—which again, was illegal because he failed to get Congressional approval—actually was. But rest assured, his continuing meltdowns over the success or failure of the mission shows that he is deeply worried that his entire story is collapsing.

And his meltdowns and efforts to cover his lies makes him even more dangerous … dangerously stupid.

Why Is It ...

… that people will write a paragraph to disagree with me on social media and never think that I hit Delete as soon as I see it.

… that I love when people are rude to me because, oh my god, no way, it’s now my turn.

… that my boss doesn’t see that I am humble enough to know I’m replaceable at work, but also confident enough to know that it will take at least three people.

… that no one realizes that I am quite adept at using all the swear words in a single sentence.

… that people need to realize that if they hear me telling the same story twice, just let it go. I only have six memories and they all take turns.

… that I am planning on engaging in orange cat behavior today and, no, I will not explain.

... that after 50, you're like an old phone battery. Even when you charge yourself overnight for 10 hours, by 10 AM you're at 60%. 

… that being an adult is so weird. I'm unsupervised all the time, how unsafe.

… that I am so easily annoyed by feelings, people, my own thoughts … honestly I don’t even know why I started this list. I’m already irritated

… that sometimes I listen to someone and think ‘Holy shit, you’ve got the IQ of a crayon.’

I Didn't Say It ...

Chris Bryant, British MP, speaking in the House of Commons about the importance of Pride:

“I should start by declaring an interest in this Pride debate. The Daily Mail once referred to me as an ‘ex-gay vicar.’ I am an ex-vicar, but the other stuff is coming along quite nicely. In fact, I am a practicing homosexual—one day I will be quite good at it. People ask me, ‘Why on earth do you need a Pride Month? Do you really need LGBT History Month? What’s the point of Pride marches and Pride flags? Hasn’t the world changed? Haven’t you already got same-sex marriage and adoption, gays in the police and the military, and laws that protect people from discrimination on the grounds of their sexual orientation or gender reassignment? What more do you want?’ That is what I hear all the time, even from really well-meaning, liberal souls. But we have always needed Pride. We needed it when people lazily assumed that a short haircut meant that you were a lesbian or a lisp meant that you were gay. We needed it when people laughed at Larry Grayson and John Inman but forced them to hide their sexuality. We needed it when people said that we should be harassed, arrested and locked up for loving who we wanted. We needed it when the police wore rubber gloves to arrest us, just in case we gave them AIDS. We needed it when we were called queer, faggot and arse bandit at school. We needed it when we were sneered at, spat at, punched, kicked and beaten up. And we need Pride now—when kids are still bullied because they are camp or butch; when families still throw their LGBT children out of the home; when many are so worn down by abuse that they take their own lives; when so many are so terrified of coming out that they live lives of terrible, crushing loneliness; when people are abused for wanting to transition. When our cousins in Hungary are denied the right to demonstrate; when the state police in many countries deliberately entrap homosexuals; when trans people are treated as less than human; and when homosexuality is still illegal in 63 countries, including 38 that apply those rules to women, and including more than half the Commonwealth.  Yes, we still need Pride.”

Bravo, sir, bravo!

Sean Casten, Democrat Illinois Representative, on impeaching The Felon for his bombing of Iran:

“This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No President has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense. I’m not saying we have the votes to impeach. I’m saying you do not do this without Congressional approval and if [Mike] Johnson doesn’t grow a spine  and learn to be a real boy tomorrow we have a problem that puts our very Republic at risk.”

All because no one came to his birthday party.

And then you have Little Mike Johnson, so desperate to be a part of the bully squad, that he sold that little black spot he once called his soul to the most unChristian human who ever lived.

Rabbi Marisa James, on wars and wars and warmongers:

“May Iranians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May Palestinians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May Israelis, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May US citizens, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May all the war-mongering authoritarians be deposed and may they one day experience real justice for all the suffering and death they cause.”

It’s the innocent people and the children who pay with their lives when fascists and authoritarians want to prove their manhood.

Stephen Fry, comedian, actor, writer, on JK Rowling being “radicalized by TERFS”:

“She has been radicalized I fear and it may be she has been radicalized by [Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist] TERFs, but also by the vitriol that is thrown at her. It is unhelpful and only hardens her and will only continue to harden her, I am afraid. She seems to be a lost cause for us. She started to make these peculiar statements and had very strong difficult views. She seemed to wake up or kick a hornet’s nest of transphobia which has been entirely destructive. I disagree profoundly with her on this subject. I am angry she does not disavow some of the more revolting and truly horrible, violently destructive things that people say. She does not attack those at all. She says things that are inflammatory and contemptuous, mocking, and add to a terribly distressing time for trans people. She has crowed at the success of legislation in Scotland and elsewhere, declaring things about gender. So, I am very happy to go on the record to say that I am really angry. My view about all things of [a] sharp and difficult nature is that it is much more important to be effective than to be right.”

Fry sparked controversy in 2022 when he failed to condemn Rolwing and her beliefs about trans people despite saying his transgender friends had been left “deeply upset” by her views so it’s nice to see him step up and voice his anger at his, I hope, former friend..

Jinkx Monsoon, AKA Hera Lilith Hoffer, American drag queen, actress, singer and comedienne, on her idol, Lucille Ball:

“I want to be remembered in the way Lucille Ball is remembered; where, on the surface, she made us laugh, but when you peel away the layers she was so much more than a comedienne on television. She was punk-fucking-rock. I want to be like that. I want to be remembered first pleasantly and then when you really sit there and think about it, you think, ‘That badass bitch really did some fucking shit. She really rattled some cages and ruffled some feathers.’ ,I guess I want to be remembered for disturbing the status quo.”

Lucille Ball wasn’t just funny, she was a savvy businessperson. And she took on the status quo and set Hollywood and television on their collective ears.

Jason Isaacs, actor from The White Lotus and Harry Potter, on playing the lover to a then-25-year-old Daniel Craig in Tony Kushner’s Angels in America at London’s National Theatre in 1993:

“We had a lot of sex. And then I kissed Daniel and he was so easy with it. And then I was easy with it and we were really easy with each other’s bodies and I thought, oh, it’s just that. God, I built this up and, and we had to lie naked on under the sheet for an hour every night. And it was easy. He’s very easy in his body. [But] I used to drag him to showers to make him shave because I got a stubble rash off him. We used to pinch each other’s bits under the sheets to make each other laugh.”

Okay, now all I can think about is Jason and Daniel in the sheets pinching each other’s bits.

Lucky bastards.

I have often said to Carlos that if I ever decided that our relationship has run its course, that he was be the first person, other than myself, to know about.

That time has come and I explained to him that I was attracted to someone else and perhaps I would be moving on …

This Tuxedo Says comes to us from December 12/10/2020:

Tuxedo, sadly, cannot vote, but he is growing ever more furious at the way this country works.

Last week, after the g-ICE-stapo tried to enter Dodger stadium and the team owners refused them entry, the Los Angeles Dodgers organization announced that they will donate $1 million to families impacted by recent immigration raids. Dodgers’ president and CEO Stan Kasten said:

“What’s happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard the calls for us to take a leading role on behalf of those affected. We believe that by committing resources and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift the communities of Greater Los Angeles.”

City of Angels to the rescue.

This year, the Stonewall National Monument in New York City is displaying only the traditional Rainbow Pride flag, excluding transgender and progress flags during Pride Month. This decision by the National Park Service [NPS] has led to criticism and protests, with some activists and visitors planting their own flags in defiance. 

The Stonewall National Monument is the first US National Monument dedicated to LGBTQ+ rights, having been designated as such in 2016 by President Barack Obama. It has since become tradition for the monument to be adorned with various Pride flags, including the trans flag with the NPS funding installation of the flags until this year when the NPS told photographer, advocate, and installation creator Steven Love Menendez that the park will not allow Trans or Progress Pride flags this year; Menendez says:

“I used to be listed as an LGBTQ activist, and now it says ‘Steven Menendez, LGB activist [because] they took out the Q and the T.”

Erasing our trans brothers and sisters.

You gotta love the idea of muscular men in onesies grabbing at each other  and their nice taut cakes …

Mads Mikkelsen, a 21-year-old Norwegian tourist claims that when he landed at Newark Airport in New Jersey on June 11 he was detained and put in a cell while authorities searched his phone and found that image up there … a meme he made of JD Vance.

Authorities are now saying Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use.

But wouldn’t it be wild if that meme took off?

There are rumors that Kid Rock and Lauren Gropert are an item, and the couple have been spotted out and about in DC.

Just remember that the United States had a nuclear weapons treaty with Iran until a reality show host tore that agreement up because he was jealous of a Black man’s accomplishment. And then the butt-hurt asshat got pissy when his parade flopped and decided to bomb Iran.

Christian Bale is building a $22 million foster care village in Palmdale, California, called "Together California" which aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for foster siblings to stay together. It will feature 12 homes, studio apartments, and a community center. Bale said he was inspired by the challenges faced by foster children, particularly the separation of siblings, and hoped to create a place where children can feel a sense of belonging and family. 

Nice guy, eh?

Architecture Wednesday: Kalua Koi Road

For $5.3M you can own one of only a few built estates on 5.95 acres of land on the best stretch of Papohaku Beach, one of Hawaii’s largest white sand beaches, in Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

The main home features an open plan living, dining and kitchen area that opens to a covered lanai and views of the beach and ocean. There are two oceanfront suites, each with a private bath, a plunge pool, expansive, Ipe hardwood decking, Fleetwood windows and doors, and custom architectural woodwork throughout. There is also a guest cottage with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and storage lofts, a pool cabana for entertaining, a 15’ x 40’ heated saltwater swimming pool and a separate 3-car garage with an attached rec room.

The property is powered by photovoltaic solar and offers 4,754 square feet of interior living space—in the two dwellings—plus nearly 5,000 square feet of lanais. A mature orchard is planted with many fruit-bearing trees including lemon, tangerine, lime, grapefruit, starfruit, mango, avocado, orange, banana, and coconut.

Unplug and slow down as you meander, meditate and reflect, or stay connected with the fiber optic high-speed internet. Watch whales in the winter and brilliant summer sunsets over the ocean in this family compound, personal retreat, equestrian property, or create your own blue zone.

Embrace the joy of solitude and discover the peace and tranquility of Molokai’s sunny west end, just a 30 min flight from Maui or Oahu. Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and some of the richest waters in the Pacific, Molokai’s slower pace of life is an antidote to modern hustle and the return to a more conscious way of living.
