And along county roads nationwide, "Trump 2024" signs at the edge of farm fields are being taken down...

State after State to FEMA: "HELP! We need your help in the aftermath of the hurricane/tornado/earthquake/wildfire/bombing that hit our citizens!!!"

FEMA to State after State: "Our offices are now closed. Our office hours are 9am to 4pm Eastern Time, with lunch between 11:30am and 2pm. If you would like to leave a message for a representative, please wait for the beep."

The lawsuit was quietly amended to assert that only WHITES under 21 could have access to firearms...

Another proud Sand Crab, having graduated from the University of American Samoa's law school. How Habba ever passed the bar exam is a mystery to all in the legal profession...

And this mentally ill president expects the Pope to accept his invitation to visit the White House? One can only imagine that conversation. JV will be ------- Leo's leg, Drunken Pete will offer him a double bourbon, a clip of "The Passion of The Christ" will be viewed, after which Trump will complain about Jesus being treated unfairly by the Swiss Guard, and Leo will be offered various Trump-branded items to purchase...

We're going to need a lot more paper towels to throw around...
--Fat, orange man to a certain grandmother with a ---- job

Americans will wake tomorrow to a rant posted online at 3:45am by this idiot, who will state (1) he never said it was a gift, (2) friends give things to each other all the time, in exchange for other gifts, and (3) he never wanted a new plane anyway, because AF1 is 'the best and most beautiful' plan in the known universe.

Clip and save...

It's already happening in Okiehomie. Fall off your tractor, or get hurt on an oil rig out there in the fields, and it's an hour to the hospital in some larger community. And when you arrive, they will want you to pay in advance, and to present proof of coverage. Otherwise, you can go to the free clinic in Tulsa, OKC or Lawton. If you make it in time--they close at 4. Sadly, Okies do not understand the connection between what they vote for, the taxes they pay, and the quality of life they have...

The call must have gone like the old Bob and Ray routine, where one loudmouth 'spy' blabs all to a spy from another country, who keeps his mouth shut for most of the conversation. Trump cannot stand to not hear his own voice, so surely he just started talking nonsense to Vlad. Of course, Putin knew that he had won another round when he answered the call, offering nothing, saying little, and letting the fat orange bargain away his position, for a handful of beans.

The only way to get Putin serious about peace talks is to further supply the Ukrainian army with arms and support, but Der Dotard has already taken that option off the table. Ukraine will be a Soviet fiefdom before the 2028 election, yet the guy in the White House, JV and Li'l Marco will all declare victory...

Bruce Springsteen: a Has-Been for the past 50 years...

Taylor Swift: makes money the hard way--by performing for her fans...

Der Dotard: cannot walk nine holes and cannot accurately count his score. And don't ask him about the whereabouts of his wife...

I suspect that WalMart's executive team will focus on shareholder value, rather than appeasing a bully. Willingly cutting profits is a great way for a CEO to lose his/her job...

Like Jesus said--you have to suffer to get into Heaven! He did! And we can let the lower classes in this country in on it!
--MAGA functionaries, all nervous about their jobs

Nothing says "MAGA" like a toothless grin...

JV is no more a Catholic than his wife. For him it's a form of cosplay. His conversion' was a cynical political move. His words and actions while in public office demonstrate the depth of his faith, and it's not even skin deep ...

Trump failed in negotiations with himself ...

If Trump were smart and clearly understood the situation he would send Ukraine more weapons and tell Putin that the shipments will stop when the ceasefire takes effect ...

In one scenario here is how this situation plays out:
-the baby is put up for adoption because the mother is not alive
-the family gets the bill for the hospital care
-the father is hounded out of the state by officials
-the mother is blamed for this situation because of some made up reason which insults all African American women in the state
-Republicans declare victory

The young men coming out of my all-boys Jesuit high school certainly are bucking this trend, taking leading positions in academics, the arts, musical performance and athletics. What these boys have is the result of high expectations laid on their shoulders, freedom to explore their world and their interests, and the requirement of service to others. They know that to those who receive the most, the most is expected. Call it peer pressure, or rather seeing role models and examples in their daily lives.

Many young men these days need a REALLY bad summer job--one with lousy hours, where they get dirty and sweat, where they come home tired and have to get up the following day to do it all over again. These young men learn two things: first, stay in school and do well; and second, they learn to respect the adults working alongside them, because that dirty job is all those adults have in their lives, and they have no choice but to keep working...

Kid Rock's restaurant features the following items:
-Hair In Salad
-Floor-Grilled Steak
-Ken-L Ration Burger
-Warm Beer at ballpark prices
-Yesterday's Fries Re-heated Today
-Mopwater Soup
-And for dessert--Twinkies, Ho-Hos or Ding Dongs still in the wrapper so you know they're sanitary

Bon Appetit!

Paid? No, they mean PLAYED, and yes, they were. Go pound sand...

If not ready for hurricane season, they most certainly are not ready for tornado season, which is upon us. Sorry, Florida but hurricanes are much less a big deal than are tornadoes. Imagine the reaction to governors in Okiehomie, Missoura, Kansas and Indiana when they try to phone FEMA and get the answering machine, telling the caller that the office is closed and will re-open Monday. As for calling the POTUS--well, he cannot be disturbed when on the golf course. We are on our own for storm cleanup and recovery...

These people must not be very good farmers. Alabama is #25 in Ag production, per the USDA, as of 2023. I'll bet these immigrants picked 'Bama because of the cheap land, which is cheap because of it's relative quality and the access to water. I'll also bet these moochers have already applied for some sort of government assistance or subsidy...

In an unrelated story, a number of WaPo staff writers have been reassigned to the traffic and weather desks, after a 3am phone call from a certain orange-faced insurrectionist and golf cheat to a bald man with penis envy...

Fish:
Having lived in OKC since 2018, and having volunteered in the schools, I have seen a bit more of the 'education' in Okiehomie than most. Some things to chew on regarding that state:
-public schools are being de-funded by vouchers and tax breaks given so rich folks can cover a portion of their expense to send their children to the state's private schools
-20 years ago, under a democrat in the governor's mansion the state was #17 in educational outcomes. it is now #49.
-the state superintendent of education spent a bunch of dough on Trump Bibles, and got spanked for it. He had wanted to spend much, much more until he was stopped.
-Oklahoma is an exporter of college graduates, for at least two reasons: first, limited opportunity for those with an education, and second, many Texans who cannot get into UT, Rice or SMU and do not want to go to Tech or A&M come to Norman or Stillwater, study, graduate and then return to Texas.
-the state cannot attract jobs that require knowledge workers, because those are not produced by the state's schools. Even modern manufacturers don't come to the Sooner or Later State because modern manufacturing workers need to know readin' and cipherin', and Okie kids don't

Come to Oklahoma and see how limited economic opportunity and poor education go hand in hand. Efforts by Ryan Walters will make that death spiral accelerate...

Ryan Walters is hated by more Okies than was Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The guy is completely awful, and couldn't be worse if he molested children during church services. He was elected because of straight ballot voting, which is still allowed (and is the method used by the majority of voters in the Sooner or Later State). In most worlds one could safe say that Walters has no political future, but...this is Okiehomie we're talking about.

Good luck to every student in an Oklahoma school--they guy in charge is putting education back by a generation or more...
