Mike Exinger IS Buxton Manning!

Sadly, he probably is.

When I lived in AA we grew raspberries, and they were very good. Ditto rasp in Boise.

Here, we tried something different. You do you.

I live near Scappoose. I grow marionberries in my backyard (also olallieberries and loganberries). Six years running now.

Not that hard, really.

Whocudanode? I Mean, Besides Everyone with a Functioning Brain? When did we get so damn stupid?

Looks like I’m going to be angry for a bit longer…

SOTU Bingo

The way he wears his pants with those diapers...I dunno.

SOTU? STFU! No need to watch it; we all know what to expect...don't we?

I know some of you can’t wait until the SOTU tonight, but…here’s my preview:

I love that there was absolutely no hesitation for Kat.

This shit can't be redone with "more training."
Abolish ICE.

I always tell people to remember "The Panic of 1893" and they say to me, "What?"

I was born in 1952, and I can guarantee that, as the kids say today, shit happened.

Not the Last Roundup There really isn’t a bottom, is there?

I’ve tried very hard not to make a lot of political commentary in 2026, but today…I just can’t not.

Trump on his multiple suits against the federal government: "I'm supposed to work out a settlement with myself ... We could make it a substantial amount, nobody would care, because it's gonna go to numerous, very good charities."

Here they come...bastards.

There are two tiny towns near where I live (also a small town). One is "Buxton." The other...y'know.

We heard our Senator (Wyden - D - OR) say the same shit yesterday at a town hall meeting. "ICE needs more and better training," he said.

The crowd gave him holy hell.

Good.

Once a cuck, always a cuck.

Please have a chat with our Senator Ron Wyden. Today in a town meeting, he called for "more training."

The crowd gave him holy hell.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
