I may be old-ish... but not THAT old.

Corky was my Dad's nickname. Because he was cool enough to have a nickname, lol.

His Brother's name was LC for Loyal Columbus. Anyone that wanted to keep their teeth called him, 'Bud'. I last saw him in his 80's, and he was still one big, mean Injun-looking mf'er.

But he loved his racing pigeons. I went to his house near Dallas one day, and when I pulled up there were Police cars there, and cops standing around by the pigeon coops and the cyclone fence that surrounded them.

They were talking and laughing near a gap under the fence that was bent upwards, so I asked what was going on. They told me that my Uncle Bud, who was in his 40's at the time, had caught 3 good-sized men trying to steal some of his prize racers.

I was looking at the bottom of the fence where there was about a foot of gap now, and they said that's where the last of them tried to crawl under the fence to get away from him.

He was quite the character.

The mean right uppercut comes after the left jab... just ax' JeffyBelle.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you are always afraid
Step out of line, Trump will come and take your brains away!

Um, not my thread and I hadn't posted. Also, living in the slum that is your head sucks.

All that tacky, gaudy gold imagery of Trump is disgusting!

What would zero immigration do to the US economy?

"Zero immigration would significantly harm the U.S. economy by shrinking the labor force, slowing GDP growth, worsening labor shortages, increasing costs for businesses and consumers, and accelerating an aging population, leading to lower productivity, reduced innovation, and potential wage-price spirals as fewer workers fill essential jobs in sectors from construction to healthcare."

Normalizing Trump is hard werk.

yeah... That's why they call them Opinion Pieces.

Trumpers are more 'easily excitable' than most Dem voters... they are going to have to be pretty worn out not to turn out.

"Moscow tested a conventionally armed Oreshnik " Russian for Hazel tree - against a target in Ukraine in November 2024. Putin boasts that it's impossible to intercept because of velocities reportedly exceeding Mach 10.

Putin plans to deploy the weapon "in Belarus to extend its range further into Europe," said John Foreman, an expert with the Chatham House who served as a British defense attache in Moscow and Kyiv.

Foreman said he also sees such a move as a reaction to the planned stationing in Germany next year by the U.S. of conventional missiles that include the intermediate-range hypersonic Dark Eagle.

The Oreshnik's deployment would come with only weeks left before the expiration of 2010 New START pact, the last U.S.-Russia treaty limiting deployments of strategic nuclear weapons by the world's biggest nuclear powers."

Sounds like it has more to do with velocity than range?

Quicker the better is what Mrs BJ always says!

In the 1980's a group of German music students in Univ there collected the formerly Banned original musical works of Jewish composers, many of them popular Broadway hits in NY, and are still playing them today.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin has made clear his intention to place intermediate-range Oreshnik missiles, with an estimated range of up to 3,400 miles (5,500 km), in Belarus, but the exact location has not been previously reported.

Deployment of the Oreshnik would underscore the Kremlin's growing reliance on the threat of nuclear weapons as it seeks to deter NATO members from supplying Kyiv with weapons that can strike deep inside Russia, some experts said."

If you want to live longer, improve what you're eating and start moving your body more," said Dr. Linda Shiue, an internist and director of culinary and lifestyle medicine at Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco.

But knowing exactly which foods to eat for a longer life can be tricky. Shiue says that while no one needs to be perfect, it's important to fill up on "foods in their natural state, like whole grains, vegetables, fruits, fish, eggs and nuts."

By doing so, she said, we replace the "ultra-processed foods" in our diets, "such as shelf-stable foods that have refined carbs and high sugars, like white bread."

And such as frozen food dinners and breaded meats that are also ultra-processed. Ice cream and frozen pizza (dammit!). I went 'veggie mostly' over 25 years ago... and never saw a doctor most of that time. Which was stupid, but still.

Of course, were we to overturn Citizens United, and all the laws that billionaires paid to have written for them, we prolly wouldn't need taxes like this one.
