I Didn't Say It ...

Abdul El-Sayed, Democrat candidate for Senate from Michigan, schooling Fox News moron Jess Watters:

“You don’t want to talk about gas prices. You don’t want to talk about groceries … You want to bring up all this culture war. I am running for US Senate. It’s insane. I’m out here trying to take on the healthcare crisis and big pharma, and you’re asking me about who gets to play sports.”

Fox News doesn’t want to discuss the real issues because that’s what will cause the GOP to lose in the midterms, so they turn to stoking fear of trans athletes, of children being forced to transition.

Even this week the demented doddering draft dodge claimed he had personally ordered American hospitals to perform "reverse surgery" on transgender people.

That’s.A.Lie.

Mark Ruffalo, actor, on being called anti-Semitic:

“The accusation that I am anti-Semitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people.”

It’s not the Jews, it’s the leaders of Israel and others who are the problem, and we should be able to separate the faith from the country.

Robert Reich, professor, author, lawyer, and political commentator, on the corrupt complicit media:

“Thomson Reuters, which owns the news agency Reuters has signed a $125 million deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain ‘actionable intelligence’ on its audiences. The media should be opponents of [Cankles’] police state—not collaborators!”

You cannot trust nearly any formally reputable news agency when they are aiding and  abetting the ICEstapo.

Do your research, make up your mind, open your mouths and CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE.

Tom Hanks, actor, on the whitewashing of American history by the Regime:

“Should our schools now teach the truth about [the Tulsa Race Massacre]? Yes, and they should also stop the battle to whitewash curriculums to avoid discomfort for students. America’s history is messy but knowing that makes us wiser and stronger people. 1921 is the truth, a portal to our shared paradoxical history.”

History is Black and white, gay straight, male, female, Christian, atheist, Asian, indigenous, young and old, and when you erase one group, there’s no hope that you won’t erase others that don’t fit the Nationalist Christian, AKA the Nat-C, agenda.

Hunter Biden, on Rudy Giuliani’s threat to sue him for defamation:

“The disgraced former mayor of New York, Rudy—I was just tucking in my shirt—Giuliani, has threatened to sue me for defamation over an interview in which I never said his name. No one even mentioned him. [So] I want to apologize to Rudy. Going forward I will be certain to say his name directly. Rudy, you worked with known Russian agents and their proxies to spread lies about me and my father. Their names are Andrii Derkach, Konstantin Kulyk, Andriy Telizhenko and Oleksandr Dubinsky and more. Kulyk handed you a dossier filled with disinformation. You flew to Kyiv in December 2019 to sit down with Derkach, then went on television with him to sell his bullshit tapes. [Cankles’] own national security adviser warned the White House that what you brought back was Russian disinformation. You kept going. Then … Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, sanctioned Derkach in September 2020 as an active Russian agent for over a decade, for spreading the same lies you are still spitting. Four months later, on his way out the door, Mnuchin sanctioned the rest of your sources. Kulyk. Telizhenko. Dubinsky. Eleven people and four media front companies in all. Not sanctioned by me. Not by my father. By [Cankles’] Treasury Department. And remember Vienna Rudy. In October 2019 you, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman had tickets to fly there to collect a hard drive, courtesy of Dmytro Firtash, an indicted oligarch who has spent a decade in Vienna fighting extradition to the United States. Lev and Igor were arrested at Dulles holding one-way tickets. You canceled yours the next morning. That was way before a computer repairman in Wilmington was ever a twinkle in your eye. So please, @RudyGiuliani. Please, please sue me. Discovery will be a joy for everyone.”

I think I can smell Rudy’s Just For Men hair dye melting down his face right now.

I always say it but think of how far Rudy has fallen after 9/11 when he was dubbed America’s mayor to now when he’s a laughingstock and a moron.

John Legend, singer, songwriter, on Cankles’ racism:

“He’s made it clear throughout his life that he believes Black people are inferior … he believes that to his core, in his bones. He wouldn’t let us live in his buildings back in the day. He clearly believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity and it’s racially determined. So he is a tried-and-true, dyed-in-the-wool racist … in the core of his being he’s a racist.”

He was sued for refusing to rent apartments to people of color; he wanted five young  men put to death even after they were exonerated for a crime none of them committed , because of skin color.

On the first day of his campaign back in 2015 he said immigrants were drug dealers, rapists and murderers.

He’s.A.Racist.

Carlos is headed to an HIV conference in Columbia this week and will stay in Columbia from Thursday until Saturday. As he is the one who makes the Café con Leche for breakfast I suggested before he leaves on Thursday that he makes two Café con Leche for my breakfast on Friday and Saturday; and then he asked me:.

“Are you helpless?”

“The question is are you helpful?”

I need to go so I can practice the espresso machine …

This Tale of Tuxedo, with a special appearance by Consuelo, is from March 2011 and is entitled Tuxedo Caturday:

I LOVE that face!

We were worried about Tuxedo getting on with Miss Consuelo Jones when she came to live with us.

He was leery of MaxGoldberg when Max first came along--though they are best buddies now.  He was also leery of Tallulah when she first moved in and is still leery of her now because she's one crazy bitch. 

So, when Consuelo arrived, ee watched him, but then he started playing with her and chasing her and letting her chase him; it's like he's her big brother.

Just adorable.

Dolly Parton passed away Tuesday at the age of eighty; a good long life, I’d say.

Years ago, living in California, some friends and I were at South Lake Tahoe doing a wee bit of gambling at Harrah’s. Dolly Parton was performing there and by chance we checked on tickets and were able to see her, She was sweet and funny and bawdy and sassy and just all the things you thought Dolly Parton would be.

Sidenote: when I was living in California several friends and I went up to Lake Tahoe to gamble and drink and party. While in the casino we learned that Dolly Paron was performing that night and we scored some tickets. I had never seen her before, wasn’t what I considered a big fan, but she was fabulous and all of the things you realize that she has always been. It turned out to be one of the great shows.

RIP, Dolly, and Thank you.

The fact that Hakeem Jeffries legitimized Jared Kushner, who has earned upwards of $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, through a secret meeting to find 'common ground' should mean he has no future in politics.

He is untrustworthy if he does anything other than hold that family and every single con artist in that mob, accountable for their crimes.

There was a lady in one of those red hats behind me in line at the grocery store, talking obnoxiously loudly on her phone:

“I just got into Game of Thrones. I just started Season 4.”

I paid for my groceries, looked back at her and said:

“Jon Snow kills Daenerys and Anya kills the Night King. Have a good day.”

It’s the small victories, you know.

PS Anyone who knows me knows this isn't true as I have never seen Game of Thrones. I just stole this from Facebook!

I’ve been saying it for a long time and now I need y’all to step up: It’s time to eat the rich because everything else has salmonella. 

Country singer Kacey Musgraves used the opening night of her “Middle of Nowhere” tour in Chicago to raise awareness for children affected by immigration enforcement by asking fans to support the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights. She described the effort as a humanitarian issue rather than a political message.

Of course, the MAGAts came for her because she used her platform to try and do something good for children whose family members have been disappeared.

But good on Kacey for taking this stand … Dolly would be pleased.

Architecture Wednesday: The Old Barn

Once a farm building, The Old Barn is now a remarkable six-bedroom home that sits in an elevated plot with commanding views over the quiet village of Chelsworth, Suffolk. The design embraces its pastoral setting while establishing a contemporary style. Exposed materials are celebrated throughout, with an impressive triple-height timber structure, original brickwork, and plywood elements.

To preserve the architectural integrity of the building, the main barn was kept as a single volume, its original oak frame restored and integrated with new sections of French oak. Sheets of weatherboard plywood clad the interior, and the roof has been rebuilt with lightweight steel truss supports.

The main entry is to an impressive ante-room, where brick floor pavers and concrete walls set an authentic appeal set against a bank of yellow door fronts that open to reveal handy storage, utility facilities, and a small powder room.

A pair of symmetrically positioned stairs sweep up to the open-plan reception area in the main section where you find those dramatic full-height ceilings. Expansive windows reach upward from the former barn door to extend across portions of the roof flooding the room with light. Limestone floors with underfloor heating ground the space which is arranged centrally around a large dining area with a bespoke kitchen beyond.

Professional stainless-steel units are configured as a U-shaped island, with easy-to-maintain surfaces, raised plug sockets and seating space at the opposite end that is oriented toward low-level slit windows that frame panoramic views of the landscape. At the opposite end of the great space is the double-height living area with exposed original beams and slit windows to frame the views. The great room opens onto a generous terrace with an outdoor dining area and a barbecue.

A white-painted wall marks the boundary between the main section and the four-story extension that houses all six bedrooms. The principal suite is discreetly positioned on the lower ground floor with direct access to the garden. East-facing panels draw in the soft morning light. A set of curtains opens to an en suite with a round spa bathtub, built-in wardrobes, and a door to a separate water closet. 

One of the bedrooms on the ground floor also has an en suite bathroom, along with access to a small balcony. There are three more bedrooms on the first floor, and another en suite bedroom on the second floor. A pristine additional bathroom on the first floor has a bathtub, ideal for long soaks.

The house is immersed in well-maintained private grounds of around an acre, mainly laid to lawn and interspersed with established trees and planted sections. To the front, the private driveway has space for parking multiple cars.

The Old Barn can be yours for just £1.550M or $2.075M USD.
