This question was passed to me; and I don’t think I can answer it. “If he ran, could Al Franken successfully reenter politics?”

If you’re a homeowner and you haven’t had your central air unit get some TLC in the past year, do so. And quickly. You never know when it’s gonna crap at 1 am and the next thing you know, you’re having flashbacks to sleeping in the Baghdad Airport Terminal w/o AC

Asked my 30 year old son “how high do gas prices have to go before the people say “that’s too much.” He says they won’t. Everyone drives, they have too. As I recall my father getting mad when gas went over 50¢/gallon, and taking the bus to work.

Random thought from a colleague. If Congress “writes the laws” and the vast majority of congress are lawyers; why do they keep fucking up?

If you’re thinking about travel to the U.S. anytime between NOW and 2029; don’t. Just don’t. If you REALLY MUST travel to the U.S. get the travel insurance. On top of that, make damn sure your tickets, etc… are refundable. We cannot guarantee you won’t be scooped up by ICE and sent to a hole.

I’m married to an Educational Diagnostician. The “tests” Trump brags about are likely the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)—a brief screening for possible cognitive impairment or early dementia, not an intelligence test. www.nj.com/politics/202...

During Monday’s event, he suggested that anyone running for president or vice president should be required to take a cognitive test.

You literally were invited, several times to participate in Vietnam. If you really want a Purple Heart, you’re gonna have to earn it; just like everyone else did. No freebies.

If you like hiking, camping, hunting, or just not breathing smoke every summer, pay attention. The U.S. Forest Service keeps trails open and fires managed. Cut them, and it’s more closures, worse wildfires, and forests going to hell. This affects anyone who likes fresh air. saveusfs.org 🌲

ICE isn’t really running the camps. It’s contracted out. The GEO Group, CoreCivic, and Palantir ALL OF THEM ARE PUBLICLY TRADED GEO Group = GEO CoreCivic = CXW Palantir = PLTR Like everything else in the USA, you gotta hit them in the packet book.

Good news/Bad news Bad News: someone flew “a bit” too close to the Capitol. Good News: ICE caught the illegal migrant. * seems security in the area has increased for unknown reasons. He will be released once he is done getting processed, he might be running behind schedule.

Schumer has been there for 45 years. Grassley for 51 years They ain’t serving out of the kindness of their hearts. They do it, because that’s all the know. There needs to be both term limits and maximum age limits on each and every government position.

So, no kidding there I was. Back in the days of BDU’s and Black Boots. Just walking out of the shower at home following PT, TV on in the background. When Katie Couric breaks in about a plane hitting WTC.

Ok, since we’re gonna go back to the WWII style of doing things. US Space Force and US Air Force will be absorbed by the Army. Heck, we’ll even dig out the old USAAC flags.

I realized that this weekend is Labor Day. Usually the last gasp of summer. If you’re in DC to see the sights, remember; the Guard would rather be at home. For the low cost of $15.00 you can help with Gatorade, Beef Jerky, and Zyn. Which will do more for morale than a crate of HoneyBuns.
