LMFPGWAO. You know what most of it is. The unknown part, PGW, stands for Pasty Geeky White. FYI, if you see VEFG from me it means Very Evil F***ing Grin

We are always only one election or one national disaster away from officially being a third world dictatorship.

Ted Original Maxim-2012

With the retribution squad cabinet nominees, we may have just seen that election.

Book banning is simply a variant of book burning Countries that burned or banned books in the recent era include Communist China, Cuba, The Soviet Union &Nazi Germany. Now many in the US want to join that list If you don't like a book in the library then don't check it out Simply control your kids

Yes, age discrimination exists The only thing is that they don't use age as the stated reason & find another justification.

The same guy, the same resume, the same skills set, & the same interview responses. The only difference? In the sit down interview they saw my age (Early 60s) & in the telephone interview they didn't

I didn't tell the headhunter that I was previously rejected b/c I wanted to maintain a good relationship with him for future opportunities I told him to go ahead & submit my info I not only got a telephone interview with Gulfstream I also got the contract

An anecdotal but I swear it is true A few years ago I was in the GIG economy doing field IT work I had a sit down interview for desktop support at Gulfstream I didn't get the job A few weeks later a headhunter called & said I would be a perfect fit for a contract IT job at Gulfstream

Regarding the so-called gov't shutdown

It really isn't Gov't is still functioning in many ways So let's stop the play acting The next time there is a Gov't shutdown actually do it Shutter the doors ALL OF THEM With no pay or backpay & sequester Congress until they resolve it.

What we have is another PR ploy from the Admin of a second rate actor & more confirmation that the US is currently in dictator territory

Hopefully this guy retains excellent attorneys & after beating this trumped up charge, sues Bondi & the POTUS out of financial existence.

tedejr52.bsky.social @tedejr52.bsky.social · 9h

That guy Bondi singled out for writing an alleged hate letter to some conservative of little consequence may skate on First Amendment I read the actual letter It does not contain a direct plan to murder the guy

Pam Bondi reveals terrifying plot to assassinate Charlie Kirk's friend

George Isbell Jr. is set to face charges as part of a White House crackdown on political violence, Pam Bondi announced in a fiery press conference Friday.

I had to laugh when reading the summary. That medical staff member is another wanna be Ronny Jackson.

And you are probably correct. It was probably written by the POTUS himself. Something that he is documented as doing.

Great song. Who woulda thunk that song would be produced by the same band that released Mechanical World? Wasn't the drummer the father of one of the other band members? I was close according to Google. He was the step-father of Spirit member Randy California

Several sources are claiming that charges will soon be levied against John Bolton If true how tolerant will non-MAGAt Republicans be This isn't Comey or James but one of their own

While this article says Pentagon will build, is that misleading? We have already seen misleading articles saying that it would be a base.

Bondi recently said this POTUS is transparent Does that mean we can see right through him? This deal isn't transparent.

When asked for more details, Hegseth’s office said it had nothing to offer beyond the secretary’s remarks.

Why don't they have more to offer? Refusal to answer never gives a good impression My question is who is actually constructing it? Qatari companies or US?

Pentagon will build a training facility for Qatari pilots in Idaho

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the U.S. military is moving forward with plans to build a dedicated facility in Idaho to train pilots from Qatar, an important U.S. ally in the Middle East.

Facts do matter. Here is a quote from a different source Qatar would pay for the construction of the new facility, a defense official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to provide information not publicly released.

Israel has said they will resume military action if Hamas doesn't disarm & separately said this is only an outline Listen to everything they say There is not a peace agreement in Gaza Only a temporary cease fire

If your landscaper said they're increasing price $10,000/mo you can find a way to pay or find another svc We keep trying to find a way to pay for overpriced health care instead of finding a better svc We will never solve the pblm with that approach

The RIF (Layoffs/firings) of Federal Employees has begun. Do you believe that it was just a coincidence that they waited until late Friday to act?

At the same time, Speaker Mike Johnson not only continues to collect a paycheck, he has extended his vacation for another week.

That one does not need to be feared, since he could not chase anyone from behind to catch them. In point of fact, one could saunter away from him. Leisurely.

Sad day for the music world. John Lodge has passed away. One of the Moody Blues. Only one remains alive, Justin Hayward.

Here he is with Hayward during the middle period of the Blues breakup. Hayward on vocals, Lodge on bass.

Just a one question. Why? Well, maybe more than one, since they are building it, how does that make American Contractors Great Again?

Built in America? By Americans? Where have I heard that before?

I always use dry garbanzo beans, soaked overnight, discard the liquid, fresh liquid into the pressure cooker with the beans The pressure cooker liquid will become aquafaba which has other uses.

If I am lazy, the beans go directly into the pressure cooker. But the hummus from that is not as smooth

At some future point, we may look back in history and view that comment as the inception point in the military coup removing the administration.

When I saw that for the first time a few days ago, my first thought was that the street was blocked without authorization. I didn't do any further research. But, the Judge's ruling seems logical. And if ICE won't voluntarily remove it, the city should, using whatever force necessary.
