PHEW!!!...I was concerned the first part of your reply here was attacking me.

It is so incredibly weird and scary and disheartening to watch the world's most powerful nation being systematically dismantled and pilfered by a gang of ego-thugs led by a painted carnival barker who is literally famous for being a greedy crooked cheat.

A bit of research before I roll the dice on dinner...

A screen shot of a Google search, which reads "how long can tuna stay in the fridge?"

Hang on... if the U.S. government is shut down, does that mean Donnie's no longer their President?

Here's a very interesting video by Claus Kellerman about how countries like Canada and Germany are benefitting from Trump's stupid policies. An entertaining and eye-opening watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERQ8...

Nothing to see here, just oh so “devout” Mike Johnson changing the rules to cover for pedophiles.

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.

So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Has nothing to do with demand. A promoter in PG just reached out to my booker to see if I would come do a show there. That's how this usually works.

Not sure what you find weird about it. I go where I get booked. A venue in PG booked me. When a venue in Kelowna books me, I go there. As I have on many, many occasions.

"My threatening threats were not meant as a threat. In general, the words I say do not mean what you think they mean. If I say 'giraffe', for example, it means 'soup'. It's just a fun thing about me and hardly worth further investigation."

FCC boss Brendan Carr now says his 'easy way or the hard way' comments about Jimmy Kimmel weren’t meant as a threat to pull licenses if Disney didn’t suspend him 🧢

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

Whatever RFK Jr. said at the hearing, I would reply with either "AND WHAT DOES THE WORM IN YOUR BRAIN SAY?!?!" ...or "DID THE BEAR CUB YOU STUFFED IN YOUR TRUNK AND THEN DUMPED IN CENTRAL PARK DIE FROM A VACCINE???"
