I Didn't Say It ... But First, An Issue ...

I seem to be unable to reply to comments left on my blog, so rest assured I am reading them but for some reason cannot comment.
I will try to see how to resolve this kerfuffle ASAP.
Thanks
Bob

Zohran Mamdani, Democrat mayor of New York City, on ICE:

“I am in support of abolishing ICE and I’ll tell you why. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We’re seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law but instead what it’s doing is terrorizing people — no matter their immigration status, no matter the facts of the law, no matter the facts of the case. And I’m tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life. There is a way to care about immigration in this city and in this country with a sense of humanity. What we’re seeing from ICE is not it, and we have not seen that from them in a long, long time.”

ICE  was supposed to removed undocumented immigrant criminals; not children, not citizens, not murder women in the streets.

ICE must go and by voting Blue it can be dismantled from the Kristi Noem ICEstapo.

Billie Eilish, singer, denouncing ICE and the Cankles Regime in a recent speech accepting the 2026 MLK Jr. Beloved Community Environmental Justice Award:

“It’s very strange to be celebrated for working towards environmental justice at a time where it feels less achievable than ever, given the state of our country and the world right now. We're seeing our neighbors being kidnapped, peaceful protesters being assaulted and murdered, our civil rights being stripped, resources to fight the climate crisis being cut for fossil fuels and animal agriculture destroying our planet, and people's access to food and healthcare becoming a privilege for the wealthy instead of a new basic human right for all Americans. It is very clear that protecting our planet and our communities is not a priority for this administration and it's really hard to celebrate that when we no longer feel safe in our homes or in our streets."

It’s not just Venezuela or Minneapolis or Greenland, it’s all of it; the lies, the cheating, the crimes, the pure evil greed.

Let’s start cleaning House and Senate in November.

Ruben Gallego, Democrat Senator from Arizona, on Cankles and Greenland:

“The idea that we’re going to ruin our long-standing alliances and waste billions of dollars to buy Greenland while our own people can’t afford health care or groceries is maybe the dumbest thing a president has done in the history of this country.”

It’s one of the many dumbest things this president has ever done.

Bernice King, MLK’s daughter, on Cankles’ presidency:

“The recent claim by [Cankles] that the 1964 Civil Rights Act harmed white Americans is just wrong and it's dangerous. It rewrites history in a way that fuels fear and resentment. My fathers and so many leaders of the movement, Fred Shuttlesworth, Diane Nass, John Lewis—I can call the role but I won't do it today—did not risk their lives to divide this nation. They did so because America was denying millions basic rights, the right to work, the right to vote, to live where they please, to move through society with dignity. The Civil Rights Act did not give Black people special treatment. It made discrimination illegal. The same discrimination you're trying to turn around. It required the law to protect everyone equally. That is democracy. Sadly, under [Cankles’] America, the law only protects rich white men. We’ve been forced to watch in horror as he rolls back all the progress we’ve made as a nation, stoking the flames of racial hatred and dragging us to the dark ages again.”

This is not America where our elected officials are blatantly KKK racists; they don’t even bother with the hoods any longer.

This cannot stand; this is not the America I learned about—though we know America is not now and never was perfect—and not the America Dr. King dreamed about.

Don Lemon, on has been MAGAt rapper Nicki Minaj after she called him a homophobic slur over his reports on ICE protests in Minneapolis:

“This is clearly out of her depth. She doesn’t understand politics. She doesn’t understand journalism. And I’m not surprised that she is weighing in on something that is beyond her capacity. I think she put the Chucky doll in [her post]. A better symbol that should have been represented in that picture is a ‘Pick Me’ doll because Nicki Minaj is a pick me. She will do anything that is expedient for her politically. And again, she’s ignorant. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She’s always weighing in on things that she doesn’t know about. Nicki Minaj should just sit the fuck down.”

Minaj is out for anyone that can solve her husband’s criminality issues which is why she aligned with Erika Grieving Widow Kirk and praise Cankles. She bought into the cult of stupidity and will never find her way out.

Bobservations

According to our local weather folks, we are expecting snowstorms, ice storms, rains storms, hailstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, locusts, frogs falling from the heavens and so much worse by the time Monday rolls around.

I can handle all of that, but what I cannot handle is Carlos’ sudden need to change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius. This morning it was 28-degrees and after he heard that and muttered his standard cold morning “Oh fuck,” he said:

“It’s -2 degrees!”

“No, it’s 28—”

“In Celsius it’s -2!”

“We don’t use Celsius so stop staying that.”

Whispering as he wanders into the bathroom …

“Minus 2, minus 2, minus 2.”

I am gonna lower the temperature of the extra freezer and let Carlos nap in there all weekend and then see him mutter Celsius!

This Tuxedo Says is from August 2021 ...

Is anyone really surprised that after living with me for seventeen years Tuxedo is a liberal?

This week Virginia inaugurated Abigail Spanberger as its first female Governor, and since Blue now controls the state, this was done on Day One:

They have ended police cooperation with Cankles’ ICEstapo.

They passed new laws to combat Cankles’ gerrymandering and eliminated 4 House GOP seats.

They enshrined LGBTQ+ rights and abortion rights into the state’s Constitution.

They protected and expanded voting rights.

They fired GOP appointees to the UVA board.

They reestablished support for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion [DEI].

They accelerated their minimum wage increase.

They voted to build more housing to lower rents.

This is Blue and the Resistance at work and if it sounds good to you, the Vote Blue.

Can someone explain to me why the GOP and Cankles’ Fascist Regime say there is no money for healthcare but loads of cash to buy a foreign country??

Can someone also explain to me why, all of the sudden, there are no more “drug boats” in the Caribbean carrying fentanyl into the US?

And while we’re at it, can someone explain to María Corina Machado that giving away her Nobel Peace to the guy who bombed your country because he wants the oil, and then tried to make himself leader of her country, means she didn’t deserve the prize in the first place?

I love language and always like to use words that may have gone out of fashion, or are from a bygone era, just to keep them alive if only in my brain . But every once in a while I need a new word to add to my vocabulary and this weeks it’s:

Bitchuation

Any situation that forces me to act like a bitch.

And speaking of bitches, Nicki Minaj, who has the IQ of a puppet, went off on Don Lemon and the LGBTQ+ community because Lemon covered the anti-ICEstapo protest at a Minneapolis church over the weekend, saying:

“DON COCK SUCKIN’ LEMON IS DISGUSTING. HOW DARE YOU? I WANT THAT THUG IN JAIL!!!!! HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ANY OTHER RELIGION. LOCK HIM UP.”

First off, dumbass, enough with the Caps Lock. Secondly, get an education before you speak. He didn’t attack a religion, he reported on a pro-ICE minister and you responded with homophobic slurs like an illiterate pig might do. And when Lemon came for Minaj, she doubled-down against the entire LGBTQ+ community:

“LOL!!! And I purposely wrote it that way b/c I knew that would be the only way to get the cock suckers to post about it. They would have all collectively ignored the despicable behavior displayed by Lemon head. I’m glad they’re angry. They’re about to get angrier.”

Oh Nicki, from the LGBTQ+ community: Fuck ALL the way off.

Red baseball caps spoofing those MAGAt hats have become a symbol of Danish and Greenlandic defiance against Cankles threat to seize the frozen territory but they don’t say Make America Great Again, but instead beg Make America Go Away.

My, how far we’ve fallen in the world view since a racist rapist pedophile traitor and con artist took control.

Mitchell Saron is an American fencer who represented America at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris with his big saber so … Would You Hit It?

Architecture Wednesday: 1914 Neo-Gothic Church

This magnificent four-floor condo-townhome was carved out of a 1914 Neo-Gothic Church in Toronto.

Meticulously restored, the designers preserved the historical details such as original wooden beams and stonework while incorporating modern glitzy updates; even the old bell tower was retained. The townhome is tucked away in a discreet courtyard and offers soaring cathedral ceilings, original intricate wooden details, exposed original brick masonry, wooden trusses, stone columns and gothic brick arches.

The first floor is where you’ll find the dining area, the living room and a modern kitchen. On the second floor an illuminated catwalk leads from the gym and office to a guest bedroom, while the third floor features the spacious primary bedroom with a luxurious fifth floor ensuite bath and custom built-in storage spaces. The basement level has a mudroom and storage area with direct access to the private, underground parking space set up for electric charging.
