  1. I'd like to see a reporter bring up baseball bats and gloves for boys. While there are still company HQ in the US, some of the larger companies manufacture overseas. Marucci (save wooden bats) are produced in China as is Easton. Some companies like Wilson and Rawlings claim they manufacture all gloves in the US and some internet sources say that as well, a company rep for Rawlings admitted it's Taiwan. While having 37 bats (vs 37 dolls) is highly unlikely, a bat is much more expensive.... Or shoes. Children outgrow shoes at a great rate and wearing flip flops in winter may be a Texas thing, but that's frostbite in South Dakota.
  2. Bare shelves starter pack: St. Augustine Salad: + + Protein Based Meal: + or + = Beverage:
  3. Whatever happened to 'let the market decide' and 'consumer demand'? Perhaps the House dining establishment went with what was popular. Steak n Shake (a subsidiary of Biglari Holdings) is owned by Sardar Biglari of San Antonio who acquired the franchise when it was performing poorly and turned it around. The company did align itself with DJT in 2025, so Steak n Shake is owned by an Iranian immigrant family (I have no idea of the family's religion and it doesn't matter to me personally) and CHA Street Food is owned by a family with ties to Pakistan and formed their company based on their travels to procure tea and flavors from that country. Isn't immigrant enterprise a wonderful thing for this country, rep Collins?
  4. ISWYDT one GI Joe and two Barbies. So that's how it is now.
  5. Adults? I am embarassed and ashamed. @Biff Tannen read my mind.
  6. Dr. RFK Failson. He's surrounded by disinformation specialists who are using him to grift their "healthcare" remedies and achieve their dream to get rich like the quack Joseph Mercola did by touting "alternative" medicine. Mercola's net worth (according to a 2017 article) is over $100 million.
  7. I believe this week's New Yorker has you covered: Here's a link to the article which has a few more listed: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/05/05/military-decorations-pete-hegseth-style
  8. That birthday parade with 50 helicopters flying overhead and 1) A FAA that is sorely overtaxed. 2) A National Weather Service that is also sorely overtaxed. 3) The Secretary of Defense is sorely overtaxed out of his depth. 4) Elmo's Starlink installed at the WH. Commander Bonespurs and his birthday rally might upstage the capsizing of the MAGA fleet.
  9. The local health department did not state further information regarding the case--such as whether the strain was from the Texas outbreak or from international travel. They cited privacy issues. **Thanks @bolverk--I was typing while you responded.
  10. I'll see your ball in cup and raise you this one 👇 since the US Forest service is being dismantled, who needs trees? Made in America but be careful putting it in the stocking and don't use near open flames. Batteries not included.
  11. Tomorrow's update will likely add a new county as Denton has entered the chat. Link below. I guess it was a grand day out for the afflicted as they visited several restaurants, a Rangers game, and a Walmart among other locations. https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/health/measles-denton-exposure-rangers-game-church-restaurants/3829983/
  12. I see your point but would like to offer up that what the regime is also doing is normalizing an expectation of hardship for the working and middle class because they should know their place. While that does fall under your "stupid/cruel reasons" this expectation may become the mantra and/or litmus test of what it means to be a 'patriot'. Whether the public will go along with that remains to be seen. Cannot dispute the remarks about materialism, but frankly this is the stale and moldy bread line future not the traditional orange in the stocking future.
  13. Bwahahaha. Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC tagging the president as Donny Two Dolls is the laugh I needed this morning.
  14. I'm struggling a bit here as I can't choose between Biden overhang being a haircut, as in, "yeah, I'd like a Biden overhang but trim the sides shorter" and a term that projects the current president's weak ego with respect to his own less than slender belly. Biden doesn't really have an overhang as he's pretty fit for an 80+ guy. But Trump has the 45 degree belt angle (as seen in his golfing attire) that indicates a significant overhang. Conclusion: there is no Biden overhang.
  15. If this regime and its aged sycophants are going to travel down that path (re: vaccines and research/treatments)), I hope they decline any and all cancer treatments and Henrietta Lacks haunts them from the grave.
  16. Pedestrians too. Your post is spot on with the dangers on the road for all types of cycles, but in addition, the EVs are quiet and with inattentive drivers at the helm, it makes a bad situation worse. I don't think I can wear any more lights and reflective gear than I do (and this is day or night) and yet the number of close calls when having the right of way and in a zebra crossing has gotten to the point where I'm considering a head cam. The common refrain for drivers is "I didn't see them, officer" when in reality it is "I wasn't looking, officer." Drivers are taught not to admit fault, but the dead tell no tales...
  17. Accurate. As the river of words flows rapidly across the smooth brain, occasionally one or two words of flotsam get caught in the lone wrinkle and stick there. BIDEN'S FAULT is just one of those phrases. Perhaps later, that one may get dislodged and replaced with something slightly longer such as LOCK HER UP.
  18. You can also picture Kim Jong-un or one of the DPRK spokespersons with every tweet or quote and it's rather unsettling with how well it fits. 100 days in.
  19. The above 3 quotes are in reference to the fed agents' raid in OKC and I agree with the sentiment that we can expect more of this. Whether or not we will see or hear of this in the future is going to get interesting. The feds are taking the phones with them, and as we know, the cell phone and it's ability to video has been an occasional governor to the actions of the police state. As this regime wants to empower the ability of local, county, and state officials, who rarely violate civil rights ( 🙄 ), being unleashed to grab people and possessions, it will finally garner those local officers the "respect" they believe they deserve. (If you've ever watched the YT channels of the civil rights attorneys who discuss violations and retaliations by officers, one can quickly see that 'feeling disrespected' drives a lot of bad officer behavior.) However, now the thing (cameras) that is holding the behavior somewhat in check is in the hands of the one who wielded the stick. The media is not completely neutered (yet) but w/o video it is a helluva lot easier to dispute claims. It won't matter if it is mistaken identity or you don't look like me, or you're not from around here are you, or anything other reason capricious or truly illegal -- the government has provided them the protection and they serve them, not you. That's the protect and serve part and what it really means in a regime that is not a democracy. Heaven help the family that has weapons. Odds are they will all be killed, adults and children alike, and no govt official will ever be punished. (thanks SCOTUS). Think about it for a minute. This woman probably had identification and other ways those 20 (TWENTY!!!!) officers could check authenticity either before or after the warrant was served and they didn't bother because she and hers don't matter. Do any lives matter? Don't answer that.
  20. Tuesday update on measles: 663 cases, an increase of 17 since Friday. Lamar County numbers have been creeping upward.
  21. Mexico has issued a U.S. travel warning due to the ongoing measles outbreak in Texas and elsewhere. With testing, the health authorities in Mexico linked cases in a border state in Mexico (560) to the west Texas outbreak. Last year, the entire country had 7 cases.
  22. Maybe boosting/aiding his investment in Slate or Blue Origin? Might be a two birds, one stone gambit. Reduce Elmo's troubling Tesla fiasco attention and give them something to divert eyes away from the tariff fiasco. In the meantime.... As I go on rambling walks, I pass by homes and apartments that range from very low SES to many million dollar lots. I've got my eye on a hoarder house where the resident has been stockpiling rolls of toilet paper that have now taken up the entire back of an old Chevy (old enough to have a metal topper so the interior is visible). My only archaeological experience is from a freshman level elective, but if one looks at the layers I believe it is COVID era. Since the paper is still in plastic, I'm somewhat confident that any hoarding pathogens haven't contaminated it.
  23. We may no longer have a Free and Fair Press, Mr President but we sure as hell have the most rigorous and free comma usage I have ever seen.
  24. Project Loony, if the simulation has any sense of humor at all. *Here is a wiki article about the original Project Loon for those unaware. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loon_LLC Brief excerpt:
