  1. Just in time for the election - yay!
  2. Or how well controlled it is.
  3. I'll bet that when the town council (or whatever passes for local government there) passed the "Sanctuary" thing, they never dreamed actual immigrants would ever show up. Maybe that should be called "Safe Hypocrisy"

    And for me, using Chrome on a windows PC
  5. This is payback for being personally throttled by Trump in the debates. Have you noticed, the dems have already said "No Debates" this next time.
  6. Wait is that M2's Twitter account? That doesn't seem right (or does it?)
  7. Federal Oil Leases Slow to a Trickle Under Biden President, citing climate change, spurns resources his predecessors relied on to boost U.S. energy production Have to apologize, as this particular story the WSJ wants you to sign-up (not free). So, I've posted some snippets: "WASHINGTON—The Biden administration has leased fewer acres for oil-and-gas drilling offshore and on federal land than any other administration in its early stages dating back to the end of World War II, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. President Biden’s Interior Department leased 126,228 acres for drilling through Aug. 20, his first 19 months in office, the analysis found. No other president since Richard Nixon in 1969-70 leased out fewer than 4.4 million acres at this stage in his first term." And "In all, the Interior Department has awarded 203 leases for oil and gas development during Mr. Biden’s first 19 months in office. Former presidents Trump and Obama each approved 10 times as many leases during the same period, the Journal’s analysis shows." And "For offshore drilling, the Biden administration has yet to complete a sale."
  8. Russian oil chief Ravil Maganov dies after ‘hospital fall’ https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/russian-oil-chief-ravil-maganov-dies-after-hospital-fall-hk0mjw5sb I hope this is a free link, but wanted to add this little news item here. I first thought this might be something from a movie...
  9. He's been rolling in his grave for quite some time now.
  10. Regretfully however, their website is all about victims. Every story describes a victim and what they've suffered. It's tiring. You can try the Times of London, but like the WSJ, it is a pay site (I am paying $4./mo). They hate Trump and BoJo (I know, no longer a factor), but the opinions seem a little more to the middle and right.
  11. OMG - I can't un-see that. I'm going to go scrub my eyes with lye soap and have a lobotomy.
  12. I wonder how many here think that Trump actually knew about these documents, and their content? He is a great delegator, and likely someone on his staff just thought they were doing the appropriate thing (whatever that was). I just cannot picture Trump handling these things, and putting them under his coat on the way out the door, or saying, "Let's keep those extremely sensitive documents in the closet down in Florida." Are some giving him too much credit for his role in this? And yes, it sounds like this was his responsibility, but some of us know how custodial security works. So much more to this story.
  13. Translation: "Air Force fan website says brit private pilots make image of Queen, which is better than US Navy cock and balls." And in semi-related news - airforcetimes is clearly hitting on all cylinders today, with this headline, "5 military movies that would be better with Velociraptors." Not sure if that's a good thing or not (might be).
  14. SPAR19 - Setting up for...
  15. This is a perfect example of drama driving the news. In Virginia, we must have at least 1,500 cases of this thing, out of seven million - that's really scary! Okay, not so much, butt you get the idea.

    Yep, it sure seems like Ferrari has shot themselves in both feet at this point. The championship is out for them, they can only hope to beat Merc. Is there a trend here?
  17. Headlights on and mouth open - rarely looked better.
  18. Thanks, I was tempted to do that.
  19. Their Moms
  20. That bottom graph is definitely showing the drama... Courtesy, The Wall Street Journal (Supposedly free link)
  21. Yup, you just have to spend .02 seconds thinking about why we don't give clearances to people like this.
  22. Careful, you might be putting transitory oriented people in danger. 🧔?👩‍🦰
  23. Maybe not that big a stretch, I was thinking this myself. I think what we see in the video speaks volumes about lack of training and leadership. They have no idea what to do, and the person-in-charge doesn't know what to do either (or is a straight-up coward). Why is that police chief still there, they should run him out of town on a rail.
  24. Top list shows what folks care about, bottom list shows what the media is focusing on. All to create drama and views folks...
