Happy Labor Day. Labor is the armature over which America is sculpted. If you make it, grow it, cook it, nurse 'em, teach, protect or doctor them, clean it, sell it, bottle or keg it, pick it, process it, deliver it, build it, package it, serve it or put it out if it's burning: Happy Labor Day.

Aaaandd, here we are. Wagging the dog so we don't look at the child molester men behind that curtain. Our record at regime change is pretty much flawless, right? There's gonna have to be another Nuremberg after all this is done.

Let me get this straight, they are conducting a cover up of the video of the second strike on the boat so that they can take the focus off of their cover up of the Epstein files, no? The cover up to cover up the cover up. It's like in business, when you hold a meeting to plan another meeting. Yeesh.

Here is my recommendation: Buy some of these. They're cheap. Use them when you think you should you should use them. Give them to people you love. Share them in neighborhoods where they might prevent collisions with oncoming "boats." Spread the word. Go.

If there were a price I could pay to have meme-less social media, it would get serious consideration. $20/month? Sign me up. Facebook in particular has become a cesspool.

It's a really simple question: Ten, twenty or fifty years from now, do you want your legacy to be: "I ran cover for child sex molesters"? Doesn't matter who you are, or whether you're a Democrat or a Republican. Is that your legacy?

"I didn't do anything wrong." "Why are you all obsessing about this?" "I need to get back to doing my job." "Yes, there are tapes, and there's a chunk that is missing." I feel like I am 13 all over again.

A Disillusioned Musk, Distanced From Trump, Says He’s Exiting Washington

Ken D. Schramm @compleatmeadmaker.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Trump is pi$$ed at Leo. Leo is happy to point out (with great acuity) the absurdity of Trump/MAGA. Russia has hated the Catholic church since the 9th Century. Putin is not going to jump at this. What is going to outlive Trump by centuries, and is centuries older than Russia? The Catholic Church.

I don’t get it. He’s rich beyond my wildest dreams, has a beautiful wife, a spread in Florida, a place in Manhattan, and he can have any steak he wants. Why is he wasting his time hating on immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks and anyone with a conscience? Go golf. He happy. Leave everyone else alone, bro.

Last night around 3:00 AM, I went outside to check out the lunar eclipse, and hopefully grab a few cool pictures. It was pretty cool. Sarah and I got to see a total solar and a total lunar within 12 months of each other. Kinda lucky, when you think of it.

US Senator Mark Kelly flew 39 combat missions over Iraq. He piloted the Space Shuttle four times. But he went to Kiev and called for the defence of Ukraine. So Elon Musk has branded him a "traitor".

Read this in your best De Niro/Joe Pesci voice: "Really nice country you got there, at least what the Rooskies haven't stolen yet. Would be a shame if something happened to it. For just a few hundred billion in mineral rights, we might be able to provide you some 'protection' from these people."

How humiliating for Rubio. He got sat at the kids' table, and then had to defend the abhorrent behavior of Trump and Vance in the media. In a hole, and had to keep digging. He must be livid right now. The world is viewing him as a meaningless, pathetic lapdog. www.bbc.com/news/article...

How long will it be until Trump realizes that RFK is making him look stupid? The one thing Trump wants IS THAT his appointees make him look good. RFK Jr.? Not so much. Americans dying from Covid cost him the last election. Un-vaxed kids in Texas dying will go over like a turd in the punch bowl.

Think about this: A man who demanded a $56 Billion dollar pay package that was rejected by both his shareholders and the courts is now claiming that he is going to root out waste, fraud and abuse. Yeah, right. Dude, you DEFINE waste, fraud and abuse. www.npr.org/2024/12/03/n...

@maddow.msnbc.com “We don’t wear suits of armor anymore, either. We don’t drink mead, unless we know somebody who makes mead for a hobby, and then we try it because we’re trying to be nice, but…(makes a face).” R: There's always been nasty wine, beer & whiskey, too.

@maddow.msnbc.com If you think you don't like mead, you've never had a Schramm's. I'll be happy to send you a few bottles to move you out of the "uninformed" category of humans. Message me an address and they'll be on their way tomorrow. We have James Beard chefs and Master Somms who are fans.
