“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

Lots of southerners use hose-pipes (a.k.a. garden hoses).

Fake DHS notice posted on gun dealers' doors warning that ICE would be confiscating guns: Constitutional rights are a privilege for American citizens, not a guarantee. The United States Government is committed to the protection of the brave government agents who safeguard our borders from the tyranny of foreign invaders, but recently those same agents have found themselves under assault from hostile internal adversaries. In order to better safeguard the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during upcoming deployment actions in the Houston, Texas area, the United State Government is instituting a temporary suspension of the rights granted by the Second Amendment of the United State [sic] Constitution. You and all associated employees are hereby required to implement the following policies: 1. Should an ICE officer report to your premises, you must immediately provide a full inventory and record of any and all firearms located on site, along with a log of any personnel with access to said firearms. Failure to comply or providing an inaccurate account may subject you to criminal prosecution under 18 USC 1001. 2. Should you or any individuals located on your premises carry any firearms on their person, upon arrival of one or more ICE officers said individuals must immediately declare said firearms and peacefully surrender them to the agent(s). Failure to do so in a timely manner will be interpreted as a deliberate act of domestic terrorism, which may result in both prosecution and aggressive response by government officers. 2. This notices is to remain displayed on your premises until further instruction is received from the Department of Homeland Security. Removal of this notice will be considered destruction of government property and will result in prosecution under 18 USC 1361. We appreciate your full cooperation and understanding during these challenging times, and are proud of the contributions of local communities to Make America Safe Again.

#DHSScam #ATF #BATFE Warning to FFL dealers. According to a message & email I received this morning from ATF, these notices were posted on doors of FFL dealers.

Is this a leftist chaos scheme, a right wing false flag or some other general criminality?

THE NOTICE IS FAKE. The ATF warning is real.

Barge about to go under water at the Old River Control Structure - Low Sill facility. Photo was taken by Corp of Engineers, May 3rd and 5th 1964. This structure is at the north tip of Pointe Coupee Parish where the Mississippi, Red and Atchafalaya rivers meet. The locks divert water from the Mississippi River into the Red River where a few miles south it becomes the Atchafalaya.

Rprint. Good memory. Wow, how did I forget about that? We did the same thing with LANtastic. I recall later doing like 1 or 2 installs with Novell Lite.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

I remember the 386DX/40 mhz outrunning 486 chips at the time. In 1991-93, I worked for a small company assembling PCs and networking them together with Novel. Remember having to CompSurf drives before Novel 3.11 came out? If so you are of my tech generation.

As a Louisianian, I think the La Democratic Party should send a case of ChapStick to our awful Gov. Landry for a Christmas present. He's needs it after all the ass kissing he has done to Trump.

Yeah, hard to explain that... #TDS #ItsAcult #MAGAtNation

Various - Live And Heavy View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the 1981 Cassette release of "Live And Heavy" on Discogs.

This one is my earliest intro into hard rock / birth of heavy metal era music. I was familiar with Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, but this introduced me to the heavier side of Nazareth and UFO. It was a carry staple in my car's cassette box.

When we travel I shoot a ton of photos and occasionally I get lucky. Thanks for the compliment.

It's like a cub scout participation trophy. Little Donnie's rain gutter regatta sank, but he still gets prize.

Doesn't she know that membership in the cult only gets you a limited number of bots? After that you have to pony up your own funds. I worked with a lot of MAGAts that didn't use any social media.

So this is the 21st century version of Freaky Friday?

Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter Clifford “Buzz” Grambo patrols the streets of Baltimore to keep his neighbors safe—and make federal agents uncomfortable.

After 20 years in the Navy, Buzz Grambo thought he'd spend his retirement playing video games and watching baseball. Instead, he patrols the streets of Baltimore to protect his neighbors from ICE. He even upgraded his scooter to a Segway that reaches 26 mph to keep up with the agents. My latest:

From a trip to California a few months ago. The colors just pop in this one. No correction of colors, just a crop. Sometimes I get lucky and a scene just happens.

I belong to a Facebook group called liminal photography that features similarly composed photos. I just love them and especially this one.

Photo of sun setting behind the mountains of northern Virginia. Trees are in the foreground and the clouds glow with the last rays of the setting sun.

This is one of a series I took that evening as the sun set. I was staying in Loft Campground in the park, sitting on the Appalachian Trail when I photographed this.

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

I agree. That is one sweet ride. I remember the early Honda Interceptors - mid 80's - had great lines like this Kaw!
