    I’m reminded of the time that Ross Perot used the phrase “you people” while giving a speech at the NAACP convention.

    Never mind the fact that he was specifically referring to the people sitting in the audience, not using it to mean black people in general.

    @ lobo91:
    Guess what just accidentally turned up in a house sale advertisement in Australia. A clip taken 2 weeks ago of my brother’s house up on the NSW / Queensland border overlooking the Gold Coast. Now this was 2 weeks ago , the name on the estate agents list of potential buyers interested in this estate was….. Crooks. A clip of potential buyers inspecting the very large home was clear shots of Crooks moving with other potential buyers from room to room and walking around the associated buildings, workshops and garaging.

    This was just over 2 weeks ago !

    Where did Crooks get a plane ticket to Coolengatta probably via either Brisbane or Sydney off international airlines a couple of weeks ago?

    Where did Crooks get the $3+ million to be able to buy this estate when he’s been a 20 year old cook working in aged care facility?

    Obviously Australian Customs will have Crooks travel details, Passport information and Visa details. When is that going to come out into the public sphere?

    My brother saw the advertising clip a few weeks ago with Crooks and other buyers touring my brother’s house . Now all of a sudden the clip has been taken down and the Estate Agency has gone dark!

    The real Estate Agency got Crooks signature on their buyers log. He was open and gave his name willingly.

    Make of that what you will mate!

    That part seems unlikely. The DNC never leaves anything up to the voters.

    Or maybe they’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t really matter who they nominate, because they can’t win.

    Some news outlet should hire Roseanne Barr

    It’s amazing that the most popular ticket in American history is considering stepping down both candidates for someone new months before the next election. I mean when you get more votes than any other ticket in the history of America it would be kind of hard to start over 4 years later.

    If only there was a logical explanation as to how this is even possible. We all know that the election was the safest in history because the people who won told us that so it’s got to be something else.

    I’m guessing whoever steps in next will get the most votes ever even more with zero campaign because that is entirely possible.

    We watched Trump’s entire speech on PBS. The follow-up “analysis” began with complaints that it was too long, then that it was a very dark speech, and that they were still compiling the number of lies (with the assistance of Politico). That’s enough PBS for me for a while.

    Life is bad.

    Walmart order on way hopefully delivered in a couple of hours.

    Two packs of Elanco Tapeworm Removal Dewormer for Cats, 3 Tablets Praziquantel

    Boris the cat that refuses to die is still loosing weight. He is eating and shitting OK, maybe he has worms. Going to deworm the other two annoying assholes that live here also.

    Two packets of three deworming tablets came to about $33 and minimum order is $35.

    So, I also ordered aa pound of mushrooms for me!!!!!

    Life is bad when cats cost ten times more on a Walmart order than I do.

    P.S Boris is losing weight rapidly but refuses to die.

    Cats are assholes.

    Thank you all for reminding me to completely empty all three litter boxes here ( three cats, three litter boxes. It is a cat thing. They do not share )

    That way I can check their shit for dead worms. And apologize to the cats who I force fed nasty drugs to that did not shit out dead worms.

    Order arrived!

    My mushrooms are plump and very fresh. I have to commend Walmart on the fact that when I order fresh produce it is very fresh.

    Except when I ordered two avocados and they were still hard as a rock ten days later. Sometimes fresh is too fresh.

    Anyway, on a negative note, deworming tablets arrived but I would have expected them to be accompanied by a free pair of Kevlar gloves ( elbow length ) and a first aid kit.

    I am an adult, I can handle this. Also I have 911 on speed dial….

    911 “If you have been stabbed press 2 ”

    911 “if you tried to give a cat a pill press 3 ”

    @ eaglesoars:
    @ coldwarrior:
    @ lobo91:

    Do you ever get the itch behind your ear that you are being ‘had’? … again!

    It’s strange how that date in 2013 keeps popping up regularly and if one scratches beneath the surface the same group of malcontents keep appearing. The underlying organizational structure always ends up with the CIA. The physical over throw of the Ukraine State in 2013 and the Maidien Revolution dripped CIA all over the place. Eventually being manifest in the tyrant Zelinskyy who was a creature of the CIA, and the Ukraine criminal Colour Revolution regime, that had CIA fingerprints all over it.

    The Washington Swamp is both deeper and wider and more complex than most believe. When one recalls past ‘combat indicators’ over the past decade, the same names appear just under the shallow surface of what passes for reality. Yet again I question the background that appears as J D Vance, a ‘joiner’ and what looks like a creation who gets his ticket stamped by a covert manipulation, that exists just beneath the surface reality. Look a little deeper into J D Vance and you observe a thin tissue of career progression stamps on his hand, and little else. If I was a good intelligence analyst I might even suspect that we are seeing another Obama 2.0 creation appearing’ this time on the Republican Party side of the ubiquitous American Uni-Party.

    Others appear to also have recognised that we have ‘been down this lane before’!
    https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/07/19/the-mirror/

    A few days ago I made my suspicions manifest here when I questioned J D Vance’s tissue thin backstory, ‘rise and rise’ from an marginal unknown to potential 2024 VP and future President in 2028 – 36. A backstory that almost seems to read as an artificially crafted (AKA CIA established lived operational ‘history’ ) backstory, for a covert future placement, at the apex of power into the 2030s. Organizations like the CIA and the USSS who are capable of altering plans to suit evolving reality, whilst keeping the core aim continually before their eyes. Trump is a disrupter and is difficult to manage. Destroying him through operational planning and even through physical assassination is well within historical precedence. Having a Plan ‘B’ always ready to be deployed is also typical, of the long term planning within these agencies. People in the know about the realities of ‘Plans Departments’, who hold multiple sets of complex scenarios, within their organisational structures. Hell the crew at the XXXXX have drunk Guinness with such a person and current Pentagon member.

    I made it clear that JD Vance made me uneasy and suspicious, of his rise and rise since 2013, until his appearance at the RNC as VP candidate and a potential future President in the core period of 2028-36. Names like Thiel ( AKA Palantir Tech Global surveillance), Media superstar Carlson, Eon Musk, Kirk and Vivek Ramaswamy, and many others keep that itch behind my ear requiring scratching. I have a real feeling that we have indeed been down this particular lane before, with Barry Sotero (AKA Obama), another name changing creation, as is JD Vance. The party affiliations are irrelevant to alphabet agencies. Only covert power structures count! Dig into these characters who inhabit our elite shadow world and we end up with coincidences that seem to throw up covert parodies like the Bilderberg Group. Then think of a parody hiding in plain sight!

    Being a parody is a handy alias, as it makes anyone foolish to even mention of them an immediate joke.

    Think about it

    Sounds as if the CIA has decided that the Dems are history for the next three Presidential elections. Their Plan ‘B’ if now activated. Once JD Vance is in the driver’s seat securely that disrupter Trump can ‘move on’ one way or the other. Especially the state of total disorder at the USSS.

    I’d now put serious money on a Trump victory in 2024. Plan ‘B’ mandates the shift from Democrats to Republicans, as makes no difference to the Uni-Party stalwarts, and their Alphabet Agency manipulators. DC Swamp ‘critters’ have deep pockets, multiple scenario Planning Manifestos, and up and coming players building their classic ‘histories’ for future use. Barry Sotero / Barak Obama or James Bowman and the other name changes / JD Vance, are typical CIA lived operational ‘histories.

    There is that itch behind my ear again!

    This is interesting, if true. The airspace surrounding the rally site should have been designated as restricted by the FAA, which should have prevented the drone from flying in it. I know mine won’t go into restricted airspace. I get a message on the screen:

    Normally you can operate a drone below 300 feet without let!Some places are unrestricted airspace where you don’t even have to lodge a flight plan. Like the North South VFR corridor overlaying LAX between 1500 feet to 3,000 feet. You don’t even have to carry a radio!Yet you can have Prohibited airspace in the boonies from ground level to space! where there is something that is dangerous or secret.

    Mine won’t take off if I’m close to restricted airspace. It’s a sub-249g model, so it doesn’t require a flight plan or license anyway. Maybe that’s why it won’t go into restricted airspace, figuring that you wouldn’t know better.

    I’m told by a source that Joe Biden didn’t even write this letter.

    Source tells me that Steve Ricchetti, the Counselor to
    @JoeBiden
    actually wrote the letter and Biden Senior Advisor and campaign chair Mike Donilon was present as a witness while Ricchetti wrote the letter because Biden is too cognitively damaged to write a letter or comprehend what is going on.

    This means the signature is likely forged on the letter as well.

    Notice it’s not on official campaign or presidential letterhead.

    That means it’s not legitimate.

    @TheDemocrats
    are pretending to be Joe Biden whose corpse is literally rotting away inside the White House.

    @ eaglesoars: That should be used to demonstrate that many companies simply use workers until they can no longer profit from the workers. This is one reason why there is no “company loyalty” anymore, and why “people don’t want to work.” Why put forth the effort, and go the extra distance, for an organization that will dismiss you at the first opportunity ?

    Several days ago Laura Loomer posted that Biden had a ‘medical even’ on Airforce One and had to be medicated. Now Charlie Kirk is saying he was given a lead that Biden is sick but didn’t talk about it because …

    Got a weird lead on a story that people should look into. I got a call from a source close to Las Vegas Metro. The official story was that Joe Biden’s trip was cut short last week due to COVID. However, according to this source, US Secret Service informed LV Metro that there was an emergency situation involving Joe Biden and to close necessary streets so that POTUS could be transported immediately to University Medical, which they began to do in earnest. Then, mysteriously, there was a stand down order and the USSS informed local Vegas PD that they were going to “medivac” POTUS to Johns Hopkins, which they presumed meant fly him back east ASAP. Apparently the rumor mill in the police department was that Joe Biden was dying or possibly already dead.

    didn’t think too much about this lead, seemed too wild to be true, but given that Joe Biden has been out of public sight for days and dropped out of the race via an post, and his brother James indicated health was a factor, I’m beginning to grow more curious if COVID or something else has been more serious than reported. If anyone with LV Metro has information, please email Freedom@CharlieKirk.com. I want to hear if there is more to the official story than what they’re telling us.

    Yup!

    The speech puts me in mind of a machine gun. High pitched but monosyllabic static and awful to try to listen to. Sports types are the worse offenders with usually loud background echo chamber type background music or even worse announcements.

    Someone has briefed them to attempt to fit in a maximum number of words into a standard sound bite! Accents on top of all that makes it a terrible experience. No information is transmitted and the ‘noise’ grates on the ear!

    So Biden cancelled his scheduled meeting with Netanyahu, Kamala balked, but Bibi is going to show up anyway and wants to talk to Trump.

    Seems to me that there is Federal statute that forbids civilians from interfering with international government business. Jimmah Carter was the first to break the taboo after leaving office, as has almost every ex-president since, without penalty. I’m too lazy to research fed law, but I wonder if a Trump meeting with Hetanyahu could trigger more pre-election lawfare.

    Dead right. India was always known as the diamond in the British Crown.WWII got in the way of Indian devolution and independence. Mahatma Gandy was a total asswipe in reality, but he played the pacifist to a tee when it suited him. The Brits were as much a thorn in Mahatma Gandhi’s side, as he was in the British side in the 1930s, and post war over independence. He was even playing fast and loose with the NAZI Party in the lead up to WWII.

    By the way Mahatma Gandy was no relation to the Nehru – Gandhi ‘uber powerful’ born to rule family’ ! The Nehru – Gandhi family have seven generations of Prime Ministers and power brokers across different political parties. This Indian family could be compared with the US Kennedy clan across the generations or even the German/British/Danish … von Battenberg Royal family who changed their name to the Windsor family when WWI happened as von Battenberg sounded on the nose as Britain was killing and being killed by Uncle William the Kaiser of Germany at the time. Uncle Louis von Battenberg changed his name to the anglicised version of the name Mountbatten. King Charles III was the favourite nephew of uncle Louis Mountbatten until an IRA bomb sank Mountbatten’s sailing boat in a terrorist attack. The Danish side came in when Phillip Mountbatten married Elizabeth Windsor (AKA Elizabeth II) . Royals tended to marry other family members and how could they not as Queen Victoria spawned loads of associated princelings with family links to Danish royalty (and even Greek ‘pitch hitters’ when Danish royal lines moved into the Greek royalty after a sojourn with in Greek Republicanism) , Russian Tsars (AKA the last Tsar Uncle Nicholas. and associated minor German state princelings that were swept up into what we call Germany by Bismarck in the later 1800s.
    Prior to Victoria the von Battenbergs (AKA Windsors) had a dodgy linkage to British royalty and another royal line, with more valid royal links to the British Crown, is a Brit who immigrated to Australia and founded a huge cattle station in the outback.

    The British (German Hannovarian / British ‘Georges lines’ I – III) of US Revolutionary US Wars fame, were the first shot into British royalty by the Germans. Compounded when Victoria I married another ‘kraut’ that spawned half of Europe’s royal dynasties, including the current King Charles III who’s father was the Duke of Edinburgh (Phil the Greek) married to Queen Elizabeth II. Phillip was from the von Battenberg line who was in fact a Dane / German who’s family was ‘loaned’ to the Greeks as a stand in royal family after a bout of republicanism. Inbreeding was the cause for so many European ‘bleeders’ amongst European Royal families.

    Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), known in part for effectively ending Harris’ 2020 presidential campaign hopes, responded accordingly by pointing out that, unlike Harris, Vance put his life on the line for his country, enlisting in the military after 9/11, being deployed to Iraq in 2005. Further Harris is the one who put her political career ahead of the country for the four years she covered for Biden on the cognitive health question.”

    “Who’s Device Is This?”: Mobile Data Shows Someone That Regularly Visited Trump Shooter’s Home & Work Also Visited A Building In DC Near FBI Office

    The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project just released mobile ad data analysis that shows someone who regularly visited Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Crooks’ home and work also visited a building in Washington D.C. near an FBI office.

    “We found the assassin’s connections through our in-depth analysis of mobile ad data to track movements of Crooks and his associates,” said Oversight Project in an X thread Monday. “To do this, we tracked devices that regularly visited both Crooks’ home and place of work and followed them.”

    The Oversight Project found that “Someone who regularly visited Crooks’ home and work also visited a building in Washington, DC located in Gallery Place.”

    “This is in the same vicinity of an @FBI office on June 26, 2023,” said the investigative body. “Who’s device is this?”

    Moreover, the Oversight Project also found that another device linked to Crooks’ visited Plymouth, Massachusetts.

    https://x.com/OversightPR/status/1815446061160526009?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1815446061160526009%7Ctwgr%5E5a93874bfe41cc29beb4572ca16b14242dc10e60%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.infowars.com%2Fposts%2Fwhos-device-is-this-mobile-data-shows-someone-that-regularly-visited-trump-shooters-home-work-also-visited-a-building-in-dc-near-fbi-office%2F

    “We found a device linked to Crooks’s work that traveled to Butler, PA on July 4th and July 8th,” continued Oversight Project. “This device stopped all activity on July 12th.”

    “On August 30, 2023, one device linked Crooks visited Allegheny Arms.”

    https://x.com/OversightPR/status/1815446064373100706?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1815446064373100706%7Ctwgr%5E5a93874bfe41cc29beb4572ca16b14242dc10e60%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.infowars.com%2Fposts%2Fwhos-device-is-this-mobile-data-shows-someone-that-regularly-visited-trump-shooters-home-work-also-visited-a-building-in-dc-near-fbi-office%2F

    The Oversight Project then posted a map of all the “relevant locations within Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, that are linked to both Crooks’ home and place of work.”

    https://x.com/OversightPR/status/1815446070975230151?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1815446070975230151%7Ctwgr%5E5a93874bfe41cc29beb4572ca16b14242dc10e60%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.infowars.com%2Fposts%2Fwhos-device-is-this-mobile-data-shows-someone-that-regularly-visited-trump-shooters-home-work-also-visited-a-building-in-dc-near-fbi-office%2F

    The Oversight Project then concluded the data dump, saying for the protection of whistleblowers and the investigation, they “will not be sharing further information with the congressional task force due to the connective tissue between that entity and FBI, USSS, and other entities.”

    “If you have any further information, leads, or tips, please e-mail us directly at tips.oversightproject@heritage.org

    Notably, also on Monday, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle refused to say Crooks was a lone gunman.

    “Was Mr. Crooks acting alone?” asked Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) to Cheatle.

    “Again, I would have to refer you to the FBI’s investigation,” she answered.

    “Was he just a lone gunman?” the congressman asked.

    Cheatle again responded, “I would have to refer you to the FBI’s investigation for motive.”

    You didn’t miss anything. He was looking to the right of the camera (his left), probably because he can’t read a standard teleprompter anymore. They probably had a large monitor there with the speech on it. That looked strange.

    BREAKING: Hunter Biden’s Legal Team Just Got Scorched by Judge for Making False Statements in CA Tax Case

    the order handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Mark Scarsi on Wednesday requiring Hunter Biden’s legal team to show cause why they should not be sanctioned for making false statements in their recently filed motion to dismiss. While Hunter was presumably focused on his father’s Oval Office address, his attorneys were getting lit up by a federal judge.

    Here’s what happened: On July 15th, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the Florida criminal case against former President Donald Trump regarding his alleged improper retention of classified documents on the basis that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s appointment violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.

    On July 18th, Biden’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss the California tax case against him, attempting to piggyback off Cannon’s ruling and asserting that Special Counsel David Weiss, likewise, was improperly appointed and thus didn’t have authority to bring the charges against Biden.

    In the motion, Biden’s lawyers argued, “The Attorney General relied upon the exact same authority to appoint the Special Counsel in both the Trump and Biden matters, and both appointments are invalid for the same reason.”

    There’s just one problem with that: Weiss was already a sitting U.S. Attorney when he was appointed as Special Counsel. Or, as George Washington Law professor Jonathan Turley noted:

  164. Possum
    174 | July 25, 2024 5:37 am

    @ Possum:
    As an example of what I am talking about.

    If you are a resident of a foreign country by law ( fuck knows which countries law ) you have to retain an authorized by law financial advisor who oversees your financial things. That costs 1% per year of your pension portfolio.

    Financial advisor is mandated to have quarterly meetings with client and is authorized to make adjustments to the portfolio on your behalf.

    Then you have trustees of your pension which make sure nothing naughty is going on.

    Also you have a “portal” to the trustee where you can see what is happening to your pension fund, such as withdrawals and changes to portfolio.

    Any withdrawals are registered as income in the UK and so you get a pay slip which is handled by a UK company like payroll is out sourced in the US to someone like ADP.

    You with me so far? We are up to three already! But there is more. Where is the money in the pension fund actually located? That is another place. Actually I am not really sure at this time but got a feeling it is invested in the S&P 500 index. LOL a UK pension fund investing in the USA stock market. OK, it is only money.

    So four sites to log into, four ways shit can go wrong. But there is more!

    Now we do taxes. Withdraw any money from a UK pension fund and you get taxed. Just as in the USA and getting income from a 401K. However, if that money is withdrawn from a UK pension fund but is sent to someone permanently living in the USA it is not taxed as it is withdrawn but they tell the USA IRS about it and you have to declare it as income and are taxed when it gets to the USA.

    So, now we have to get the UK and USA tax people talking to each other so I do not get to pay income tax twice. Once when withdrawn from pension fund and again when money arrives in USA.

    Now counting six places I have to get my shit together and co-ordinate.

    But you all know me, you ALL know there is more….

    Social Security in the USA or National Insurance in the UK. There is a deal where any payments to NI or SS is cross transferred to the country you are residing in. That basically means all my payments to the UK National Insurance can be added to my Social Security payments. The USA and the UK work together!

    That is ANOTHER two agencies I have to deal with to get this shit sorted out.

    Eight in total. Easier to not retire and get a fucking job….


  165. Possum
    175 | July 25, 2024 6:03 am

    @ Possum:
    And obviously when you withdraw money from a pension fund there are “administrative fees”

    A couple of weeks ago to get this huge ball rolling my financial advisor requested I withdrew just 100GBP and got it transferred to my USA bank account. It arrived as 83GBP. The difference is the UK tax subtracted, and bank transfer fees.

    Also the trustees of my pension charged a 330GBP fee for the transaction. A fixed charge thankfully. Yep, best to transfer a big chunk one or two times per year than monthly.

    So basically I withdrew 100GBP from my account but with fees it was 430GBP and I ended up with $83 in my sticky fingers!

    ( for the mathematically challenged 430 British Pounds actually equates to $554 )

    To end this rant, I am also being pressured to register a last will and testament with the pension fund administrators and the other “interested” parties.

    I did intend to leave all my worldly goods and cats to a human, then changed my mind and thought the Humane Society would be a better choice.

    Fuck that, this shit is so complicated I have reverted my will back to a human, I could not put the Humane Society through all this legal minefield.

    Monday will is revised, back to a human. They may probably get $5 after all legal and administrative fees subtracted.

    My choice? Burial or cremation? Nah, trash bag and in the dumpster. Good enough for Georgie then good enough for me.

    The voting public must start to realise that the VP pick is vitally important. A VP should not be selected purely to get a few more votes from undecided women or undecided people of colour ( I hate that term. I am a coloured person, white in winter and a kind of glow in the dark pink when I ride in a Miata )

    A VP that is an equal candidate for president should be chosen. Personally I would like that VP to be the second in the primaries or cactuses or whatever they are called. Not someone just picked by the presidential candidate.

    Democrats just shot themselves in the foot and are stuck with Harris. If Biden had declined to run again for president in, say, January the democrats could have chosen a viable candidate.

    Anyway, this shit show is fun to watch…

    I think we’ve found the next buzzword in the Trump shooting “investigation”: Collapsible stock.

    The AR used in the shooting apparently had a collapsible (telescoping) stock on it (like at least half the ARs out there today, including mine). Not a particularly significant detail, given that it only adjusts 3-4 inches. It’s intended more to make the rifle fit a wider range of shooters than anything. It certainly doesn’t make it “concealable,” though.

    According to our brilliant FBI director, that’s why nobody saw the shooter walking around with the rifle in advance. He thinks that collapsing the stock causes the rifle to become invisible.

    I assume that collapsible stocks will be the next thing they try to ban.

    Did you know?
    The face of the Statue of Liberty. Isabella Boyer’s life is like an exciting novel. She was born in Paris, the daughter of an African pastry chef and an English mother. Isabella had a special beauty and, at age 20, she married Isaac Singer, the sewing machine maker, who was 50 years old. After Singer’s death, Isabella became the richest woman in the country. It is not surprising that she was chosen as the model for the Statue of Liberty, as she embodied the American dream. Widowed, Isabella traveled the world and married the Dutch violinist Victor Robstett, becoming a countess. He became a prominent figure in America and Europe, and met the French sculptor Frédéric Bartholdi at a world event. Bartholdi, impressed by her beauty and history, used her face as a model for the Statue of Liberty. Isabella married a third time and died in Paris in 1904 at age 62, but her face lives on in the iconic statue in New York, symbolizing freedom and American pride.

    And never mind that there’s no evidence that the teleprompter screen was damaged. And then there’s the minor detail that at the moment of impact, his left ear was facing toward the teleprompter, and he was hit in the right ear. I guess it was a magic glass shard, much like the magic bullet from the JFK assassination

    Nah it bounced off the invisible Grassy Knoll that was especially flown in from Dallas just for the occasion.

    Well wouldya lookee here!

    ==============================
    Kamala Harris has *extensive* communist ties.

    Friends, I have conducted painstaking research into Kamala Harris, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee. My findings reveal that Kamala Harris has extensive communist ties.

    As a political commentator, I have written numerous articles about Kamala Harris, detailing her activities when she was previously a presidential and vice presidential candidate. The evidence is clear: Kamala Harris is deeply connected to communist ideologies and individuals.

    From her parents’ involvement in a group that admired communist leaders like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, to her relationship with Willie Brown, a communist sympathizer, and her mentorship of individuals linked to Maoist communist groups, Kamala Harris’s background is deeply concerning.

    Kamala Harris was supported by Steve Phillips, a former Marxist-Leninist and member of the pro-Chinese communist group League of Revolutionary Struggle. Philips married into the wealthy Sandler family, using his connections and wealth to finance and support Harris’s political career, just as he did for Barack Obama, Cory Booker, Stacey Abrams and others.

    Furthermore, her political career has been supported by individuals with communist affiliations, including her current chief of staff and her husband, who works for a law firm with extensive ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

    Kamala Harris’s communist ties cannot be ignored. It is crucial that the American people are aware of the true nature of the presumed Democratic presidential nominee.

    The question is this: “What kind of America do we want to leave for future generations?”

    Stay informed, stay vigilant. The future of America is at stake.

    II just spent some time Googling something I kind of remember from about 1978-79 during a visit to Paris.

    Seeing the Statue of Liberty in Paris was a bit of a surprise to say the least, then I got to read about it.

    @ Possum:
    OK doing more Googling the original design was her holding a chain and shackles in her left hand signifying freedom but that was deemed not politically correct at the time so they were replaced by a book.

    However the design was altered to break the last link of the chain around her ankle.

    Yeah, I am bored. It is pissing it down with rain so I can’t go outside and play.

    When Laboulaye’s Statue of “Liberty Enlightening the World” was completed, it not only represented democracy but also symbolized American independence and the end of all types of servitude and oppression. A broken shackle and chain lie at the Statue’s right foot. The chain disappears beneath the draperies, only to reappear in front of her left foot, its end link broken. However, although the broken shackle is a powerful image, the meaning behind it was not yet a reality for African Americans in 1886.

    Georgio Moroder finest creation was Metropolis.

    One of the few movies I watch over and over again.

    Actually he did not make the movie, Fritz Langer did in 1927 but Moroder got many artists together and re=released it with a sound track that is awesome.

    That version is not generally available anywhere due to the fact, and I am going from memory because of a massive pissing contest about rights to music and DCMA shit.

    As to disco music and strong drum beats and loud stuff in the late 1970s and early 1980s I was I was a little bit involved in music but I got bored with it ( early synthesizers were monophonic, as in only one note at a time. Was involved in the evolution of synthesizers that could generate chords, or more than one note at the same time. Kind of like a cross between an Hammond organ and a Moog. )

    Anyway, if the main beat of the loud music matches your heart beat then you are more receptive to that loud music.

    New Zealand has loads of ‘Eloi elitists’ and media/ bankers/ Hollywood types , and IT billionaire gurus like Thiel ( AKA Palantir Tech Global surveillance), building semi-covert, huge Nuclear War Keeps in the Southern Alps of the South Island of NZ. They intend to survive, whilst the more exposed to nuclear vapourisation Mortlocks, burn in their billions. These cashed up ‘ahem’ survivors have done their sums, and understand all about the Equatorial Doldrums effects of isolating the Northern Hemisphere atmosphere from more Southern climes. With just 5 million ‘Mortlocks’ and even a few home grown ‘Eloi’ ‘at home’ and with the capability to feed 50 million ‘others’. The Southern mildly irradiated atmospheres, flushed by the ‘roaring forties’ spinning rain above the coasts of Antarctica, make Southern NZ an ideal escape boat for ‘Eloi’ survivors.

    We underlings see these Eloi flying in and out of NZ all of the time in their trans-oceanic private jets.

    @ lobo91:
    Batshit crazy black woman who had had issues with the local Illinois cops on on past occasion.

    Started spouting off religious non sequitur whilst arming herself with a large pot of boiling water.

    Both cops drew their weapons but failed to retreat when that option was freely open to them, deescalating the standoff. Armed cop shot Massey with a single bullet to the head, and appeared to showed an aggressive confrontational attitude and a lack of training when alternative options were open to both cops.

    The officer failed to exhibit concern to the gunshot victim, contrary to his fellow officer who wanted to staunch blood loss. The shooting officer appeared to give up trying to help the wounded woman, saying that as it was a head shot it was a waste of time to even attempt to help the victim. This may have been a shock response. When the victim showed signs of life, both officers went to collect their First Aide Packs, tended help, but the victim expired.

    Both offices appeared to be poorly trained and neither sought to deescalate a serious developing situation, when there were logical options available to them. The aggressive attitude and lack of operational deescalation tactics, by the lead officer led to a tragic loss of life.

    The entry of a racially biased legal activist, on behalf of the victim’s family only exacerbated racialist overtones of the tragedy. Biased MSM by an activist news reporter working for ‘Newsweek’ just added fuel to the racialist tenor of this report.

    Don’t know why, subconsciously I may think of them as sneaky treats.

    Lunch was real bread, a slather of real butter and a topping of mayo. Yep all was weighed. Next came one ounce, carefully weighed, of finely shredded sharp cheddar.

    How do you weigh how much butter you put on your bread? Easy, hit the tare button on the scale.

    Then came slices of pickled beetroot. No weighing, that is my treat!

    Supper is going to be a quarter pound burger, half a baked potato ( 200g ) and MUSHROOMS!!!!!

    Burger 290 calories, 200g potato 150 calories. Mushrooms a treat!

    Giffords group commits $15 million to boost Kamala Harris and gun safety candidates

    The gun safety group Giffords is rolling out a $15 million campaign to help de facto Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris defeat Republican rival Donald Trump, as well as help House candidates in battleground districts who favor tougher gun laws.

    The new spending blitz, first reported by NBC News, will cover paid TV and digital ads, direct mail (in English and Spanish), new polls to help allies hone their messages and the deployment of staffers and surrogates, including a co-founder of the group, former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., to persuade and turn out voters. The group is focusing those resources on swing states like Michigan and Arizona, as well as California and New York, where a series of competitive races could decide control of the House.

    “Battleground state voters are consistently ranking gun violence as among their top concerns,” Giffords Executive Director Emma Brown said in a telephone interview. “The issue is actually moving votes and able to really affect electoral outcomes. So we are planning to use our resources this year, particularly the $15 million, to support gun safety champions and to communicate directly with voters who are uniquely mobilized by guns in key battleground races across the country.”

    Brown declined to comment on the fact that Harris is vetting a co-founder of the group, Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., former Rep. Giffords’ husband, saying it isn’t getting involved in “the vice president speculation.”

    Well here we are on a rainy Sunday morning and I still do not think I explained why I am starting to understand how Anorexia happens.

    The fear of eating something that will make you fat.

    A great start to a Sunday, or any day, would be a full English breakfast. Eggs, bacon, a real sausage not that Jimmy Dean crap, mushrooms, black pudding ( banned for sale in the USA as it may contain lungs ) baked beans, a fried tomato and a side of a couple of slices of fried bread.

    I can do the math, and a real English breakfast can get over 1000 calories easily. Fine if you are English and working a manual job where total daily calories needed are about 3500-4000 per day.

    Sat on my ass all day and trying to lose my belly a 1000 calorie breakfast is almost all calories for the day.

    So I kind of understand Anorexia. There are things in the fridge and freezer that I will not eat because I am in fear of gaining weight and changing my body shape.

    If that makes sense.

    Stuck at 200, my new goal is 180. That means strict diet again but this time instead of Keto going to try the Mediterranean diet, or a Possum friendly version.

    Why change? Well keto can be lacking in some vitamins and minerals so I was taking one a day vitamins and minerals. Actually one men and one women. Something in them is inflaming my joints. Specifically my left knee. had to yet again, wear a knee brace to walk to the store.

    Quit taking multi vitamins about five days ago and pain in left knee almost gone. So hence the now switching to a low calorie but varied and “healthy” diet and avoiding artificial supplements.

    LOL Sunday breakfast will be tuna in olive oil, fresh tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce. Served with a side of two kick ass little oranges that look like mandarins or tangerines but are from Peru. That is what it says on the side of the box in the convenience store they are in.

    @ Possum:
    Using data for a mandarin in my spreadsheet. But I know it is not strictly accurate.

    Mandarins are citrus fruits related to the common orange but a different species. Tangerines are also citrus fruits but again different to a regular orange. Nutritional values of mandarins, tangerines and oranges are slightly different.

    Obviously these things from Peru are of the citrus family, but yet again a different sub species.

    How do I factor in the carbohydrates and fiber of this un known fruit into my spreadsheet?

    LOL just use the numbers for a mandarin, ignore any differences and just enjoy the fucking things!

    ( mandarin serving size 88g, 47 calories, protein 1g, carbs 12g, fiber 2g but for anyone on a low sodium diet great! zero sodium! )

    Weighed one of these unknown Peruvian things and it was 132g. Bigger than a serving size of a mandarin. My data may be wrong.

    Paris Olympics Organizers Issue Apology to Christians Over Last Supper Parody

    The organizers of the Paris Olympics apologized to Christian and Catholic groups on July 28 over a parody of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” painting that was recreated during last week’s opening ceremony.

    The segment on July 26 copied the biblical scene of Jesus Christ and the 12 apostles sharing the last meal before his crucifixion, but depicted drag queens, a transgender individual, and a nude singer.

    “Clearly, there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. [The opening ceremony] tried to celebrate community tolerance,” Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps told a news conference on July 28, responding to the backlash that erupted in the aftermath of the performance.

    “We believe this ambition was achieved,” the spokesperson added. “If people have taken any offense, we are really sorry.”
    The International Olympic Committee said in a later statement that it has “taken note of and welcomes the clarification given by the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee regarding the Opening Ceremony.”

    “In the daily press briefing, the Organizing Committee said that there was never any intention to show disrespect towards any religious group or belief. They reiterated that their intention with the Opening Ceremony was always to celebrate community and tolerance,” the statement continued, adding that the intention wasn’t to offend anyone and that “they were sorry.”

    A cooking post. We all like cooking posts.

    Anyway this one is about those cheap chicken hind quarters you can buy in a 10 pound bag sometimes for about $5.57

    We did this, it may seem like chicken for 55 cents a pound but if you actually weigh the amount of chicken eaten it is about one forth.

    So actual cost of cheap chicken is over two bucks a pound. So no more buying cheap chicken for me! I am now a breast man.

    Well, just trying to arrange chicken leg quarters in the air fryer and it is a fucking nightmare. No matter how I arrange them they do not seem to fit nicely.

    Then I realised why, they are a mix of left legs and right legs. Try stuffing two lefts and two rights in an air fryer basket.

    I know what to do next time, too late tonight as I have not got anymore thawed. You need four left legs or four right legs. Not a mix.

    Then place them in a pattern resembling a Hindu good luck symbol, or more recently a symbol stolen from history by a little man with a Charlie Chaplin moustache.

    In the future if I post a picture of the end result of me baking chicken hind quarters the geometrically most efficient way it does not mean I am a NAZI!!!!

    The human body is an amazing thing, well mine is!

    Just took a look at this week spreadsheet and I have gained a couple of pounds. Not surprising really as I have been letting my diet slip. Not food wise really but alcohol.

    Anyway, as you all know and are bored to death by it I log everything I eat or drink on a daily basis. One of the columns is weight of food consumed. Not really important but that data is useful if I create a meal that is then divided into three or for portions. Say I create a nice stew, then I need to know the nutritional content of each serving. Anyway…..

    The weight of a can of beer is also logged, complete waste of time but the spreadsheet requires it.

    LOL just realised that on 7/25 I consumed 2810 calories, way over what I would like, that had a total weight of 7294 grams, or 7.294Kg or in American.

    16.08 pounds. Yep! over 16 pounds of liquids and solids were ingested into my body, entered the blood stream, processed by my liver to extract anything worth keeping then the resulting liquid filtered by my kidneys ( both of them working as a team ) and disposed of.

    I think that is impressive, 16 pounds of toxic waste processed in one day.
