They say don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it. So I thought I would just take a shot at the latest MAGA trend and try a little raw chicken and raw milk. I’ll let you know if I live through the night.

Is the ICE surge REALLY about immigration enforcement?
Let’s ask Grok.
ESTIMATED NUMBER OF UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS (percentage of the total population)
MINNESOTA - 130,000 (2.2%)
UTAH - 140,000 (4%)
NEVADA - 220,000 (6.9%)
FLORIDA - 1,600,000 (7.1%)
TEXAS - 2,100,000 (6.7%)
See the pattern?

Have you ever wondered what JD Vance could be doing for a living if he weren’t a slimy, slippery, oily, prevaricating toadie?
I have an idea.

Yeah, I’m back! I’ve been off of this thing for quite some time. But I find I can no longer sit idly by while this country for which I became permanently disabled in its service continues its downward slide into hell. Most of my content will be satirical, humorous in nature. Enjoy!

Because we live in the south, and we're having Thanksgiving with my wife's family, I am doomed to cornbread stuffing. Stuffing should be made of bread crumbs and sage, onions, celery, butter, etc. Not cornbread.
Fite me.
Fite me.

BREAKING: Matt "Short Eyes" Gaetz will not return to Congress in January.
In similarly shocking news, I will not be appearing as Sally Bowles in the Broadway revival of cabaret anytime soon.
Now that we've cleared that up...

Oh, sure, she looks innocent. But a minute ago she was stabbing my butt between the back and seat cushion of my recliner.

Weird that you would need BOTH to acquire the required therapeutic result...
Watched CNN this morning while drinking my pre-colonoscopy purging solution. A powerful combination!

Had an appointment at the VA Clinic here in Myrtle Beach yesterday. When I checked in, the young gentleman told me to have a seat in area 2B. Because I'm very clever, I responded, "2B or not 2B?" Without missing a beat, he said, dryly, "That is the question."
I guess he's heard that one before.

In my travels to and from the VA clinic here in South Carolina saw a lot of bumper stickers saying “Veterans for Trump.” I wonder how those veterans will feel $120 billion gets cut from veterans healthcare. Turns out the leopards will eat our faces.
