Hola South American

Yup, no one was held accountable for the massacre.

We can see who the EDPs (emotionally disturbed people) are on drudge.com that would highlight the photo of a murdered college student as "FUNNY."

EDPs.

I have *Killfiled* the EDPs and trolls, but I'm surprised the site administrators that carefully monitor the threads for obscenities or profanities aren't sanctioning these trolls or EDP bloggers by removing their privileges.

Just curious.

Tennessee:

Strength: Air Quality

Weaknesses: Crime, Inclusiveness, Worker Protections

Air quality?

Well, Islam is one the fastest growing religions in the world, so these 2.08bn global adherents have a new supplicant.

Dummkopf Trumpf doesn't smoke or drink. Check

The Dotard has completed the Hajj. Check

Trumpf praised and rewarded a "Ghazi" in the White House, a former ISIS Emir. Check

Dotard runs charities ("zakat and sadagah.") Check

Trumpf moves money around the world through unofficial means ("hawala") Check

The Dotard is a "Defender of the Faith" by signing an Executive Order protecting a Muslim country (Qatar) Check

Ergo, Dummkopf Haji-Trumpf.

"Alhamdulillah!"

This is one of the books I had to tear the cover off last century so the store would get a refund.

I could then take the book home for free.

I spent the buck or two for "The Jackal Helix" (1984, Gloria Vitanza Basile) to keep the gilded cover on the book:

Some imbceile highlighted the dead Kent State University photograoh as "FUNNY."

I'm surprised the site administrator doens't email this weirdo with a warning or put him/her into "timeout."

What a psycho.

"How dare the Apaches fight back!"

Whenever I'm on an indigenous peoples reservation, I ask if they have a word for "murder" or "homicide."

These are not PhDs I'm asking, but regular folks who speak the language.

I have heard the word for "kill," referring to an animal or fish, but not a specific word for "murder" or "homicide."

There are other words the Native Americans don't have, like "railroad," "rifle," or "cancer."

The indigenous folks created portmanteaus like "Iron Horse" or "Fire Stick" as work-arounds.

TYPO fixed: "The Persians should never have been under-estimated and the attacks against their environment and infrastructure are only angering their people while hardening their resolve."

The Iranian military has manufactured and stockpiled thousands of drones, by their own admission.

They've been selling drones to Russia for years. And Vladimir Putin is going to put his foot down on Dummkopf Trumpf for constantly attacking his ally and economic partner. Russian oligarchs have invested billions in Iran and Putin is desperate to beat Ukraine.

Years of hostility and isolation by the West have given Iran a "bunker-industrial complex," financed by oil, secured by a sophisticated "SAVAK," and supported by Russia.

The Persians should never have been under-estimated and the attacks against their environment and infrastructure are only hardening angering their people while hardening their resolve.

US bases are getting hit with Iranian drones, but there is little reporting about this in the Western media.

And Iranian drone launchers are not stationary ICBM silos which can be easily targeted, but mobile and moved around on flatbed trucks.

Hah! Good one, Doc Sarvis.

I don't know why, but when I write comments about slimy Howard Nutlick, I also think of sycophantic Uriah Heep.

Your entreaty to a Higher Power about Dummkopf Trumpf reminded me of this wonderful Broadway song from last century.

I used to play a piano arrangement of this decades ago.

Enjoy the harmony, counterpoints, goofy choerography, and synchopation.

In Pennslyvania, real Democrats have been trying to kick this Faux News / Bill Maher fixture out for years.

An inexperienced mailman will be able to beat John Festerman in their next primary.

If miraculously not, someone fetch an elephant gun.

And people who say "blah-blah stroke" and "yada yada recovery" are making excuses or reasons or trying to "square a circle" about this DINO.

"Blech!"

The majority of the GIs from the "Greatest Generation" that fought fascism leaned Democratic, not Republican.

AI slice:

"Soldiers overwhelmingly voted for Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944, the only presidential election held during the war. FDR was the Democratic commanderinchief, and military ballots showed a large proDemocratic margin.

Gallup polls from 1945"1953 show that WWII veterans continued identifying as Democrats at higher rates than comparable nonveterans. This wasn't a temporary wartime effect " it persisted for decades."

What type of hijab was Dummkopf Trumpf singling out for ridicule? A or B? Or were any burqas like in C?

Lunatic Victor Marx (R) eked out a plurality of ~39% of the GOP vote, while Phil Weiser (D) easily beat Michael Bennet (D), despite millions of AIPAC dollars helping him.

The Centennial State will have a Democratic governor (Phil Weiser) on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 who does not take AIPAC money.

AI slice:

"Colorado's 2026 primary voter turnout was 36.2%, according to the Colorado Secretary of State.

That figure reflects 1,457,832 ballots returned statewide, the highest primary turnout since at least 2018 (excluding the unusual 2020 pandemic primary).

The voter turnout was nearly an even split between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats took a slight edge with 98,163 more votes. While that seems like a high number, it's 6.7% of the total number of voters."

Corky strikes again! No, wait! Mother of Mercy! It's "Retort" this time!

Carpetbagging mega-oligarch Michael Bloomberg spent millions of dollars on Michael Bennet, an AIPAC-funded candidate who lost the Democratic Party primary to Phil Weiser and will now face this exorcist on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

"Habitat destruction is considered the strongest driver of species loss. The legislation has helped safeguard more than 1,700 species and their habitats, preventing 99% of those listed from going extinct, most famously the bald eagle. Experts fear the move could cause catastrophic damage to species already close to the brink."

The soulless hellspawns of the nefarious Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) demostrating their love and compassion for Mother Nature and the Animal Kingdom:

Thanks MattM for the medical input.

Abdominal wounds are the worst injuries to inflict on someone.

I think MattM can attest to this better, but here goes my take.

The most dense amount of tissue is located there, the lengthy large and small intestines are coiled around like a snake.

The painful wound -- bullet, knife, or sword -- penetrates the digestive system spreading bacteria into the blood stream and the rest of the body, which leads to sepsis.

Why shoot someone in the gut to cause a slow, painful death that is difficult to treat?

There's no reason for this, other than sadism.

And ICE can be issued effective non-lethal rounds

Lastly, Araujo could have been picked up at a later date without violence as ICE had all of his pedigree info and he had nowhere to hide.

As retired 73rd Precint NYPD homicide detective First Grade "P.M." -- a good New York Irishman -- related to me last century:

"Meh. We'll pick him up tomorrow. Let's go get some coffee." [Sets fire to his Marlboro and enjoys a drag]

Gosh, I hope the Freedom Fuel Network gas isn't diluted with adulterating chemicals to save the plutocrats a shekel.

"Honey, the, uh, engine doesn't sound right. And there's no pep when I step on the pedal. We'd better have Cletus check out the car."

"Stupid Obama!"

Oof!
