I take back anything I may have said about Tapper hitting Biden unfairly; he has written a book about the current administration and is on tour now.

If you’re going to cook a meal for your local brownshirt, please be very careful with which backyard mushrooms you use.

I’d end up spending MORE than the subscription cost simply because many news sites make cancelling nigh impossible, not to mention the glut of spam. And to be clear: I’d be happy to do so!

Finally someone has monetized asthmatics and I look forward to receiving what I’ll call “puffer payments” when I refill my inhalers.

Exciting times ahead!

With weapon discipline and fitness standards this good, I don’t think the War of Southern Aggression is going to last too long.

Three cream puffs arrive in Bumblefuck, Illinois, from Texas. The ones on the right are straight out of Central Casting from the famous SNL skit, “Da Bears”.

One is holding his rifle like a walking stick, another is pointing his directly at his twin brother.

All three appear eager to tuck into a buffet of get the fuck out of my state you treasonous goatfuck slobs, but only after they tidy up their teenage mustaches.

Many companies have social media policies for staff so that you don’t get ICs saying things that, while true, are so tone-deaf it makes the company look bad.

As Jay points out, we aren’t paying & so we can take it or leave it — but that is unlikely going to be the case forever.

Supremacy clause. Federalism.

Learn before mashing out another dumbass emoji-filled rageskeet about the obvious next steps blue-state governors should take if only they were as smart as you.

This post brought to you by fatigue.

So we’re gonna get TrumpChecks and further legitimize the illegal tariffs by laundering its purported “success”?

Democrats are so incredibly bad at this. Did you all overdose on Tylenol or something?

There’s a Tad Nelson that was on the ISP payroll as a Sgt. in 2023, making $145k. Could be reserve or something, but — this guy may have actually honored (part) of his oath. It’s amazing how low the bar has been set, alas.

I bet troops are already on the ground here in Chicago — a C130J came in to PWK (Chicago Exec Airport) in the suburbs today from North Carolina, and just left.

This airport occasionally receives aircraft like this to deliver troops to NAVSTA Great Lakes.

Stay safe. There’s at least one Blackhawk out there doing loops around west town/loop with its transponder off. Sigh.
