Don't send money to Argentina without receiving something in return.

Screw the idea of us trying to enforce peace in gaza. Stupid idea designed to draw us into conflict.

I got your whataboutism right here. What about the Epstein files? That goalpost is in concrete for me.

They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns, then it will be through the bullet.

Isn’t that kind of the point of living in Southern California?
We had a couple of cloud-free stretches here in Maine this past summer. We also are in a severe drought.

Yeah, but this conspiracy theory was a bit down my list.

This one wasn't on it at all....

This is a super-cool link of Marine helicopters, Osprey and other aircraft flying on the deck down the San Clemente coastline. Awesome sight.

250th anniversary of the Marines. Pete Hegseth and JD Vance are at Camp Pendleton, next to San Clemente. BTW, highway 5 was closed for this, but NOT at the request of the Marines. As of yesterday everyone thought the road would remain open.

This is the one.


This is the post which acts as the catalyst in the epoxy which is my view of your cognitive stability.


There is no amusing AI-generated kitten photo to conclude this post. It is one of sorrow, not levity.

I don't think all leftists are pedophiles. I'm very puzzled by the leftists allowing them into their political circles. It seems like a losing proposition to align yourself publicly with pedophiles. I guess there are more pedophiles in high-profile public office and in the c-suites of Fortune 1000 companies than I would have ever guessed.

I would have thought that the idea of burning child rapists alive would have garnered almost universal support across America. Not protecting a child from pure evil seems unconscionable.
