My friend in Poland went mushroom picking in a forest when commies went crazy in the 60’s. I’m growing veggies in a local farmers club and weeding definitely blocks screeching 😂.
Or you can bathe in the screeching and laugh at the insanity. I’m enjoying the ridiculousness of it all. Keep it up leftards, you just pushing more people away.
Thankfully in this new media environment, you get what you click. The less you click on a given type of content, the less you get....
Now, I do see the potential problems with that, but trying to find and see rational words that oppose ones mindset is purposeful work that should be done by is all.
Thank goodness tho that the cable news rant era is effectively over.
In case you haven’t heard we only have 4.5 days of freedom left before Trump declares a dictatorship or something something according to the Bluesky people.
Can’t wait to see how that ages and the pivot that follows.
Chris, you failed to mention the most earth shattering news of the last three days. The Blue Origin mission with all-female crew (I guess they can define a woman when they want to) which the main stream media declared re-defined space exploration in just ELEVEN minutes. I am in awe at their accomplishments, it takes me 11 minutes to complete my mission in the bathroom on a good day. Somehow, I think the result my mission in the bathroom is about as important to humanity as the result of Gayle King, Katy Perry and Lauren "Botox" Sanchez and others trip into space . . .
Blue Origin is apparently the world's most expensive and elaborate amusement park ride, devised as a me-too vanity project for Jeff Bezos, who is to Elon Musk what Evel Knievel was to Neil Armstrong. In terms of space travel, it breaks no new ground (the first US manned sub-orbital flight was in 1961), adds nothing to science, and its contribution to humanity is some cool memories for Bezos' favored elites.
Feminists have absolutely destroyed the little bit of respect I had for them. One of my female cousins is a rocket engineer, I'm sure she's disgusted with these hyenas who now present themselves as astronauts. Eleven minutes...
Did you hear Katy Perry's comments upon returning to Mother Earth?
"I think this experience has shown me you never know how much love is inside of you — how much love you have to give and how loved you are — until the day of launch."
Spoken like a true astronaut.
There are a lot more nuggets of gold in this article:
Um... is it just me? Is my mind just thoroughly gutter-bound? Am I the only one who burst out laughing at the SERIOUS double entendres of James Woods' comment about "the mission:"
"I don't care if it lasted one minute. It takes a lot of courage to sit on top of a rocket and be blasted into the stratosphere."😂
Whenever you read something panicky, just replace it with:
"AaAAaaaAAeeeEEeEeeAaaaAAAhhhAA!"
If you can do a good Johnny Weismüller-impression, so much the better.
Over here, the Good Guys Newsoutlets - "All the news that's fit for you!" - are in a weird combination of smugness and panic.
Smugly stating that "Europe can defend itself": which while being objectively true, ignorers what we actually would need to defend against - islamic invasion - and instead points to Russia as a military threat, while also mocking the failure of Putin's "two-day operation" in Ukraine.
Panicking over Trump "being in control of NATO", see above.
Smug that a handful of US academics have read job ads from Swedish universities, and crowing "They want to come here where we have academic freedom", while ignoring all the court proceedings against academics the research of whom yields not politically correct results, and that a lot of research topics are de facto banned due to political control over the ethics committees, or that every board of directors for a uni has at least one politician present at meetings, functionoing as a kind of unarmed kommissar.
Panicky over young people not watching state & regime-loyal media.
Good to know you are still kicking around. I was about to send out a search party, just in case. I would like to add: If I hear or read 'Maryland Man' one more time, I am finding the one functional clock tower that still exists in these United States, and I am climbing it. Every time I think these people can't get any dumber...they go and completely redumb themselves. A Senator of the aforementioned United States is going to go to El Salvador and read President Bukele The Riot Act because a citizen of El Salvador is now very unfortunately living in El Salvador again. AND THAT IS BAD: SO HE IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. A U.S. SENATOR: Elected. We have to be at the Peak. This has to be the top.
I say we get an El Salvadoran judge to rule that they can't be deported back to the United States. I support them being deported to Venezuela so they can hang out with their buddies.
The thing is that Trump 2.0 is doing so many things to so many different groups that the "outrage du jour" manufacturers simply can't keep up. Plus Trump 2.0 clearly doesn't give a $expletive about what the outrage merchants say and he has underlings who are able to tie the MSM outrage merchants into rhetorical knots.
Of course it helps that Trump 2.0 is in proactive mode not reactive mode. He's setting the agenda and forcing others to do what he wants or at least react to what he says/does instead of letting others set the agenda and forcing him and his administration to react. I made a note about that here WRT West Taiwan - https://substack.com/@francisturner/note/c-108367633
I had a similar experience amidst a group who were pearl-clutching that a certain federal agency was being decimated and in chaos via "sources", cited an NPR article.
Then you read it, and decimating chaos equals the following impacts: a website ALMOST went dark...and that's not all--people were doing due diligence reviewing contracts which made other people nervous.
Libs love being in their comfort zone of victimization, panic, and outrage. They need regular hits. Would they even know peace if they were surrounded by it? 😞
At the beginning of the month, Cory Booker held the Senate floor for 25 hours, giving the longest speech in Senate history. It absolutely electrified the whole country, and the world, and changed the course of American political history. Apparently it even “embodied the prophetic tradition that has long animated America's moral progress.”
It must not have been that important, for this is the first I've heard of it.
Living my life, caring for my family, even working each and every shift.
God I hate Bill Kristol and his smug face, smugly smugging at the dirty, unwashed plebs about “the conservative case for printing infinity dollars” and “hey stupids, it’s a LIBERATION, not an invasion”
I'm trying man, to move to a 120 year old house on the prairie in a town of 175, but the house is not habitable yet, and it's hard to get people out there to do what you need done. And some of the people you do get out there really suck, and you have to fix it up behind them. It's been a year now. I'm hoping before the end of the year.
What state is this property located. I know a few middle aged guys, with skills in multiple trades, rough framing, roofing & siding, minor electrical, plumbing, drywall & finish, etc. basically residential rehab. I myself spent 45 years in the building trades. I worked with both these guys for a number of years.
Thank you, sir. I think we are okay. I took a new job and moved a year ago, so we knew nobody in the area. We contracted with the wrong outfit last May and by the end of October they had not started, so we got our deposit back. Where we are now, we should have been last August. We had a basement built under it. The excavator is a good guy. The concrete mason is kind of a bullshitter, and we should not have allowed him to touch anything that was not a CMU and mortar. The plumbers who updated the water line left the old line active for inappropriate reasons, which is a disaster waiting to happen. Should be fixed next week. I expect a proposal for HVAC by the end of this week. I am splitting the original bathroom into two 3/4 baths myself. I have summer to get one of them functional in my spare time which is mostly just weekends. There is much more to this story. I'm okay with some electrical, plumbing, framing and finish. I don't do roofs, but I don't need one right now. I sistered the bathroom ceiling framing that was sagging, and I was waiting for the basement guys to finish the foundation work to finish levelling the floor. Now I want to make sure the HVAC guys wouldn't prefer me to leave the floor open until they are done.
In regards HVAC, have a couple contractors to consult with a plan, even if it's just an initial walkthrough, get the best ideas. Open framing until ALL your mechanical's are completed is the best especially if you need inspections. Typically, those would be done before your allowed to insulate and cover. Not sure what your code authority is out in a rural area.
Mini splits. Just did six. To replace my unit that the epa won’t allow repairs any longer, it’s got the dreaded r410a. So six mini splits with the dreaded R410a are ok. At 349.00 each. Vs 8-10 k for a new system.
Each bedroom was wired individually on their own breaker. Being that three out of the four bedrooms are unoccupied most of the time, I poked through an outside wall receptacle box ( probably not code, but box on inside, block wall, box on outside, Romex, I can’t see an issue) so now each mini split is on the breaker for its room. They only draw about 7 amps max, so no issues. There is nothing else on those circuits except wall outlets. There one in our bedroom I did the same, pretty much. A little different but still no load in the room. Then the two in the main part of the house, similar deal. The electrician that wired this house was a wizard. So many circuits individualized. It’s working perfectly. One unit I have to change out as it’s a very low seer and was the first one I installed, and now realize it’s not an inverter. So I’ll probably put it in the garage, and put a newer one in that room.
I'm an old widow. I have a guy who helps. Unfortunately, he doesn't consider me his boss. That's why I say "helps" instead of works for me. He does good stuff, but he does more what he wants when he wants than what I want. I would love to have a handyman/yard guy on duty or on call. The guy who helps makes pretty good money. If I found someone good enough, I would replace him. What state are you in? I'm in NM.
Sorry, I'm in the upper Midwest, NM might be a bit far to travel for these guys. That's why I asked earlier what state JS was in. Sounded like he might be within a state or two, being possible it was a farming community.
As usual, you had me cackling like Kamalhoe. I don't know what's worse, the domestic idiots or the foreign meddlers who keep lecturing me about how my voting for Trump is causing Armageddon🤣 Yes, I voted for this, I proudly tell them. Send all the illegal aliens back to the shitholes they came from, my family had to wait for a US Visa while Raul Castro attempted to murder my father, threw him in prison several times. No pity parties in my home for illegal aliens, none. Send them back.
The only positive thing you can say is it makes it really easy to tune out the screeching. The bad news is how much you have to tune out.
I just can't imagine four full years of it. Who on earth will still be listening?
My friend in Poland went mushroom picking in a forest when commies went crazy in the 60’s. I’m growing veggies in a local farmers club and weeding definitely blocks screeching 😂.
Get ambitious. Grow some corn, make some mash, cook some hooch.
The other weed? But only in states where legal!
Like!

But with women! Reminds me of the all female Ghostbusters, who cares?
if no one watches, did it really even happen?
Ding.Ding! You win the Internet today. Congrats.
I’m sick and tired of these billionaires and their space toys. What a waste of $.
Perfect! Well said indeed!
🙌👍
It's really kinda sad that they let them come back. 🤮
I was thinking initially was this Bezo's way of dumping Lauren.
Glad (?) they made it back safe from getting launched out of that cannon. The touchdown looked a little rough to me tho.
As in, "Perhaps the world would have been a trifle better off ..."
Feminists have absolutely destroyed the little bit of respect I had for them. One of my female cousins is a rocket engineer, I'm sure she's disgusted with these hyenas who now present themselves as astronauts. Eleven minutes...

"I don't care if it lasted one minute. It takes a lot of courage to sit on top of a rocket and be blasted into the stratosphere."😂
Wait. Katy Perry the “singer”? Lauren Sanchez Bezo’s um whatever? How the hell? John Glenn must be screaming in his grave.
(PS I’m so glad I click here.)
It wasn’t a “crew”. They were passengers.

Apparently it's more than one senator. I will laugh like a hyena if it turns out said senators have problems with El Savadorean immigration
I say we get an El Salvadoran judge to rule that they can't be deported back to the United States. I support them being deported to Venezuela so they can hang out with their buddies.
🙏 Oh! How wonderful that would be!
🤞
And they kind of did - https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2025/04/16/you-cant-make-this-up-el-salvador-rejects-maryland-senators-visit-n4938972

"... do something productive." And there's your problem, the screechers can't.
And they, mostly, never have.
I had a similar experience amidst a group who were pearl-clutching that a certain federal agency was being decimated and in chaos via "sources", cited an NPR article.
Then you read it, and decimating chaos equals the following impacts: a website ALMOST went dark...and that's not all--people were doing due diligence reviewing contracts which made other people nervous.

Days off, quiet and calm. Daily living a balm.
With nary a disquiet in the weave I've felt.
It's just another cry in the communists belt.

I'm still puzzled. Cory Booker gave a speech?
Good point. Why is it that you LEAVE a turd, but GIVE a speech ...
To spread brain cooties.
The more provoked, the more emotionally reactive, the less thoughtful, the less cognitive ability. It's all to shut down brains and start fighting.
