Not nearly as exciting or as interesting as your adventures.

We played the Tri-State area, but couldn't make it, so we broke up and they continued with college.

I drummed for another band, more punk, than my softer side preferred, (e.g. Misfits, Ramones).

Not much sophistication, but loud and fun.

Hence my lengthy university experience.

I have photos of my bands in my kitchen and den and people who visit can't believe that's me decades ago.

No music tracks survived though, even though we used to rehearse at Monkey Hill Studio (and other places).

Today, Smartphones make instant, secure history for us, evidence for future generations.

The Hamtramck Chief of Police is Hussein Farhat and his tiny enclave is north of a major Canadian city called Windsor.

Wow. Thanks for that vignette. The name rang a bell but I couldn't place it.

Your Diego Garcia story was great.

My band played a USCG facility last century, but it wasn't part of a USO tour.

So much winning!

For a country that doesn't have universal healthcare as enjoyed by the residents of Germany, Israel, Canada, Greenland, the UK, or tiny Albania, Republicans really know how to expedite our demise with more diabolical nonsense like this.

Weren't the CVS pharmacies giving out free COVID shots years ago?

*** MAGA Texas Candidate Wins Primary After Confessing To Adultery, Porn Addiction, Alcoholism During Debate ***

Nate Sheets (R) defeated longtime incumbent Sid Miller (R) in the Republican primary for Texas agriculture commissioner, even after he publicly admitted to a litany of sacrileges during a televised debate.

What an 'effing state.

"Islamofascists?"

In 1979, nobody called the students or the revolution leaders in Iran that.

We called them "radicals" and "revolutionaries," especially after the US Embassy was breached and hostages were taken.

The Neo-Cons and AIPAC introduced the faux term "Islamo-fascist" (whatever that means) many years later.

Dummkopf Trumpf on Truth Social today:

"The Republican Primary Race for the United States Senate in the Great State of Texas, a State I LOVE and won 3 times in Record Numbers (the HIGHEST vote ever recorded, by far!!!), cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer. IT MUST STOP NOW!

"We have an easy to beat, Radical Left Opponent, and we have to TOTALLY FOCUS on putting him away, quickly and decisively! Both John and Ken ran great races, but not good enough. Now, this one, must be PERFECT! My Endorsements within the Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable!

"It is such an honor to realize and say that almost everyone I Endorse WINS, and wins by a lot, especially in Texas! I will be making my Endorsement soon, and will be asking the candidate that I don't Endorse to immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE!

"Is that fair? We must win in November!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

@5 You said it.

I wake up to a cup of coffee, a smoke, and classical music.

These lunatics wake up to "How can I rip somebody off badly today?"

Thanks, Clownshack.

So, Jasmine Crockett is a sophomore Congresswoman.

She can go up against Ted Cruz in 2030.

Blech.

Four more years of Ted Cruz.

I wonder why House Democrat Jasmine Crockett (D-TX-30) is not considered a member of the "Squad?"

After all, all five are Democratic Party Congresswomen of Color and dead set against Dummkopf Trumpf.

Thanks, Johnny Hotsauce.

Was it you who answered my query a few weeks ago about why Beto O'Rourke had lost to sniveling Ted Cruz?

You or someone wrote Beto lost because he wanted stricter gun control laws in Texas, a "No-No" in the Lone Star State.

And as liberals, progressives, and Democrats, we should all be glad that James Talarico (D) is the US Senate candidate for Texas, right?

"...it makes you wonder how Jasmine Crockett won her previous races"
Really? Have you seen and heard her??? She's a firecracker.

I don't watch TV so I don't know. I wouldn't recognize the sound of her voice if she spoke to me right now.

I only heard James Talarico's voice for the first time a few hours ago when Corky posted his speech from YouTube.

I was referring to your comment about allegations of voter suppression.

If voter suppression is that powerful in Texas and Felon Musk is now headquartered there with 90 companies and his billions of dollars, how did Jasmine Crockett survive all the previous Jim Crow attempts at sabotaging her like this time as was alleged?

The GOP wanted Jasmine Crockett to win the primary because those racists in Texas figured it'll be easier for a WASP male to beat a Woman of Color in November, right?

Certainly did.

But I wasn't alone.

Someone in the thread had written at 1121 HRS:

I'm seeing lots of stuff on Threads/Blue Sky that the Dems are already walking into a blunder with Crockett questioning the results and planning a challenge.
Self-interested, self-absorbed politicians will be the end of us.

In all my years, I never had Ripple,

And Andrew "AIPAC" Cuomo, who betrayed the Democratic Party of his father, is still a triple losing sexual predator looking for relevancy in NYC politics.

**** US Lost Almost $2bn Worth of Military Equipment in First Four Days of Attacking the Iranian People ****

Dummkopf Trumpf excels at one thing: getting OPM to pay for his misadventures, misdeeds, and misdemeanors.

I bet NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani took time to congratulate James Talarico.

Like Curtis Sliwa (R) in NYC who publicly condemned an injustice against Zohran (a threat against him and his family), so did James in his speech about Jasmine (voter suppression).

Unselfish.

The selfish ones like Andrew Cuomo or Jasmine Crockett will never do that.

Well, isn't pestilence one of the signs of the Armageddon, or was that a plague invoked by Moses on the ancestors of the late Anwar Sadat?

Concur all above.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) and the rest of us Gothamites all know precisely who and what Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Charles Schumer are.

Except for Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and NYC Comptroller Brad Lander (D), "Democrats" didn't support their fellow Democrat, Zohran Mamdani.

The fabulously wealthy Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) two political proteges: Hakeem Jeffries (D) and Governor Gavin Newsom (D).

Yup.

"Hey, Suckers and Losers, here's your tax bill! And still no universal healthcare for you losers!"

And Pickled Pete cancelled all DOD tuition support for Servicemen attending any of the dozens of elite or Ivy League schools, except for Dummkopf Trumpf's alma mater: UPenn.
