Our weather has improved to the point that Severe Fire Danger is no longer an issue, though it lingers on the mind. Case in  point, I was in the house, Carlos was in the garage, and he yells to me quite seriously:

“Bob. [And I know it’s bad because he usually calls me Sweetie] Can you come out here right now?”

“What’s going on?”

“There’s something happening in the neighbors yard.”

I think FIRE!!!! And I head to the garage and into the driveway. There is indeed something happening at the neighbor’s house. They’re working in their yard; I tell Carlos that and he says:

“I heard a noise and didn’t know what it was.”

“Maybe it’s not your business Gladys Kravitz.”

“I don’t know who that is.”

“It’s you!!!”

Oy.

Isn’t it funny how the Occupant of the White can sit back and watch Americans die, lose their jobs, and their homes, and their health, and blame Obama and Biden when all of this mess started on his watch?  AGAIN!!!

Last week, state senators in North Dakota rejected a measure that called for the Supreme Court to overturn its decision that established a national right to same-sex marriage.

First step, good step; the march goes on ...

If I had cakes like that I’d walk around all day with my pants around my ankles. I wouldn’t get far but, you get my point.

Nate Vance, JD Vance CouchHumper’s cousin has come for JD saying he’s “disappointed” in him for twisting America into “Vladimir Putin’s useful idiots.” And Nate wasn’t finished:

“Being your family doesn’t mean I’m going to accept you killing my comrades … and when [he] criticized aid to Ukraine, I thought it was because he needed to appeal to his electorate, that it was part of the political game, but what they did to Zelenskyy was an ambush of absolute dishonesty. [The Felon] and my cousin clearly think they can placate Vladimir Putin. They are wrong. The Russians are not about to forget our support for Ukraine. We are Vladimir Putin’s useful idiots.”

Nate revealed that he volunteered and fought in Ukraine against the Russians on the front lines for three years. He also said he has tried to contact JD but has not received a response but still it’s nice to see that at least one member of the Vance family is standing firmly on the right side of history since CouchHumper and The Felon will go down as cowards and traitors of the worst sort.

Speaking of the CouchHumper, when JD and the missus took their seats last week at the Kennedy Center in Washington they were met with a chorus of boos from the packed concert hall that lasted more than thirty seconds.

Don’t think that’s a long time? Start yelling boo and keep it up for thirty seconds. The point was made.

City councilors in Boston voted 12-1 to make Boston a sanctuary city for members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Councilor-at-Large Julia Mejia and District 9 Councilor Liz Breadon called on Boston to adopt the measure supporting transgender people, pointing to what they see as harmful rhetoric coming from The Felon and the White House, with Mejia saying:

“Boston is not going to back down. We’re seeing attacks on our trans loved ones, and here on the local level, a lot of folks are feeling helpless.”

This move comes one month after Worcester city councilors approved a similar resolution.

The March goes on ...

Arlington National Cemetery is the most venerated final resting ground in the nation; across its hundreds of acres in Virginia, there are over 400,000 graves of U.S. service men and women dating back to the Civil War, including two presidents, and more than 400 Medal of Honor recipients.

But looking at the cemetery’s public website you'll find that dozens of pages on gravesites and educational materials that include histories of prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members buried in the cemetery have been removed. Cemetery officials confirm that the pages were “unpublished” to meet recent orders by the Draft Dodging Felon and DUI hire Pete Hegseth.

This regime is erasing the service of Black, and Latino, and female service members.

This is less about Carlos and more about the look on Carlos’ face as we ran errands one day last week.

We headed down to King’s Kitchen, our favorite breakfast spot in Camden, for a good home cooked breakfast—I had my usual Corned Beef Hash with Scrambled Egg and the best Homemade Biscuit in the world. So good that we lounged a bit and chatted with fellow diners and Kenesha, the owner along with her husband who is the chef. Lovely way to start then day and then …

We started driving to CostCo and about halfway there the traffic stopped; clearly an accident happened up ahead. So we sat for a while and then crawled forward until we came across a semi-truck parked along the left side of the road and all three lanes of traffic blocked forcing everyone to drive on the right shoulder.

“Why the %$#& are they closing the entire road? The %$#&ing truck is way over there. Why the %$#& did we have to sit so long for this?”

Carlos smiled. We made it through and drove on, reaching our exit, at a spot where there’s roadwork on the bridge and side streets; traffic was stopped all down the off-ramp onto the freeway.

“Why the %$#& aren’t they doing this work at night and not on a %$#&ing Saturday morning when everyone is out? And why are these %$#&ers trying to race ahead and get to the head of the line. Not on my %$#&ing watch.”

Carlos smiled. We made it through and as we neared CostCo, at a roundabout where we turn left, another oversized truck apparently took the curve too fast and was tipped over in the roadway.

“What the %$#& is happening today? Is every mother%$#&er who doesn’t know how to drive on the roads? What the %$#&?”

Carlos smiled. We backed up and took an alternate route to CostCo where, by the time we got there, the place was packed.

“Why does every single %$#&ing family with nothing better to %$#&ing do than take their screaming %$#&ing children to the %$#&ing CostCo and feed them all the free samples so the little %$#&ers start screaming and terrorizing those of us just to do a little shopping.”

Carlos smiled. We finally got our groceries, eased through the checkout, and went out to load the car. I took the cart back and when I returned to the car, a giant SUV was parked across the lane, clearly waiting for me to leave so they could take my space. I backed up slowly, trying to turn my car to avoid the gas-%$#&ing-guzzling behemoth, when the mother%$#&er in the car starts honking and waving at me.

“HOW THE %$#& AM I SUPPOSED TO BACK UP WITH YOUR FAT ASS CAR IN MY WAY YOU DUMB MOTHER%$#&ER???”

And then I used both hands and both fingers to accentuate my point, and finally Carlos speaks:

“I’m thinking someone needs a nap.”

Mother%$#&er.

This Tuxedo Says is from August 2020 when Biden became the Democratic nominee to be President.

And, sadly, here we are again.

Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna is chair of the newly formed Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. The task force will be looking into the assassination of JFK and in a recent press conference Luna said:

“I’m looking to actually bring in some of the attending physicians at the initial assassination. Then also people that had been on the various commissions looking into it, like the Warren Commission looking into the initial assassination.”

Um, Luna-tic, every member of the Warren Commission is dead, as all the  three doctors who treated Kennedy at Parkland. And WTF is an “initial” assassination?

The GOP’s best and brightest at work.

I do enjoy it when my local grocer makes cake shopping easier and then they have the cakes help me carry groceries to the car.

Tomorrow is Economic Blackout Day to disrupt the system and show those fascists in charge that we have some power, too.

Do not make any purchases

Do not shop online, or in-store

Do not spend money on: Fast Food, Gas or Major Retailers

Do not use Credit or Debit Cards for non-essential spending

Only buy essentials if absolutely necessary—Food, Medicine, Emergency Supplies—and if you must spend, ONLY support small, local businesses.

Corporations and banks only care about their bottom line. If we disrupt the economy for just ONE day, it sends a powerful message.

If they don't listen, and they won’t, we’ll make the next blackout longer.

This is our first action. This is how we make history.

February 28th; the 24-Hour Economic Black Out Begins

A hack at the Department of Housing and Urban Development this week has trolled The Felon and Leon Skum by playing a short, AI-generated video of The Felon kissing Elon’s feet with the title “Long Live The Real King” over the video.

It’d be a shame if this picture was shared everywhere.

I saw this on Facebook this week and, well, ouch:

He still hasn’t done anything to bring down the price of eggs or gas, but planes on the other hand …

It took Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada just minutes to tap out his reaction to his nation’s victory over the United States in an international hockey championship final:

“You can’t take our country—and you can’t take our game.”

Snap.

Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Elizabeth Clement announced that she will step down from the state's highest court, leaving Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer with the task of appointing her replacement.

Clement's departure and Whitmer's eventual appointment would shift the court from a 5-2 Democratic-nominated majority to a 6-1 Democratic-nominated majority, a margin that could add years to Republican efforts to regain a majority on the state's highest court.

Good.

On the other side … at a GOP town hall this week in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, descended into chaos when Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl was forcibly removed for speaking.

Three plainclothes men from LEAR Asset Management literally dragged Dr. Borrenpohl out of the auditorium and attempted to restrain her with zip ties. As the incident unfolded, the speaker at the podium, Ed Bejarana, made insulting comments:

“Just look at this. This little girl is afraid to leave. She spoke up and now she doesn't want to suffer the consequences. Look at this little girl over here, everyone. Look at her."

Worse is that, despite the clear violation of free speech and civil liberties occurring right before their eyes, the majority of attendees did nothing to intervene or stop a woman from being dragged from the room.

On the upside, after the incident LEAR Asset Management's business license was revoked for violating city ordinances, and a GoFundMe campaign raised over $245,000 for Dr. Borrenpohl's legal expenses.

This is not America and the women of Idaho need to vote these Republican thugs out of office as soon as possible.
