Cue the band, roll the credits.
Coming at you from my Hunker-Bunker this early Saturday morning, before I motor my ass to my office perched between two stadiums in Seattle. It is 0500, 49° F and dry. It will be 52° F and showers at some point today.
I’m just coming off of a three-day weekend for myself. I’ve made a trip to Canookistan and back, and have done some spring cleaning in my Hunker-Bunker. My control center here has been rearranged and my new computer is neatly tucked under my monitors. It’s that tiny little box under where my two monitors meet. See it? It has a little green light on it, and is a tiny, 3″ x 3″ x 1.5″ box packing 16 gb RAM and 1TB SSD. Oh, and comes with Windows 11 Pro. Did I mention that they sell on Amazon for $239?
Let’s get on with the news, shall we?
Headlines That Caught My Eye This Morning
Item 1: Biden changes walking routine to Marine One
Why it matters: With aides walking between Biden and journalists’ camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old’s halting and stiff gait.
Zoom in: Some Biden advisers have told Axios they’re concerned that videos of Biden walking and shuffling alone — especially across the grass — have highlighted his age.
Well, he is EIGHTY THREE YEARS OLD, which is about the age Trump would be if he were to win the 2024 election.
Chronological age isn’t really the issue though. Jimmy Carter was still ‘building’ houses when he was 98 years old, and probably would still be doing that if he wasn’t currently on the world’s longest hospice.
Biden is a healthy eighty-three, whereas Trump is a not-so-healthy seventy-seven. Both should be looking after grandchildren right now and not running to be the next POTUS.
Item 2: Dozens of deaths reveal risks of injecting sedatives into people restrained by police
Putting people in chemical straightjackets should be illegal. A ‘medic’ has absolutely NO idea the health issues that a person might have at the time of arrest. To jab someone with a ‘sedative’ because they are ‘acting out’ and NOT know the person’s medical history could conceivably get someone a murder charge.
Item 3: Biden to Debate Wearing Brain Implant, ‘Super Bazooka’ Arms – Satire (or is it?)
Item 4: Terrifying videos show tornado sweeping across Nebraska town as eerie siren sounds
Item 5: Rooting for Trump to fail has made his stock shorters millions
The initial stock price was artificially inflated.
Item 6: Trump VP contender Kristi Noem writes of killing dog – and goat – in new book
This is one sick bitch.
She kills the dog because it wouldn’t make a good hunting dog?
Seriously? This is a shit stain of the highest order.
I can see exactly why she chose to include this little tidbit in her book: It was for an audience of one — Donald J. Trump.
Trump famously hates dogs. He calls people he doesn’t like — dogs. The ONLY reason this opportunistic twat included this despicable story in her biography was to grab the attention of Donald Trump as he decides who is going to be his next VP pick. This cunt is really this base.
She could have easily found a home for this dog, since she ‘hated’ the animal.
Item 7: Doctors seeing more syphilis patients with unusual and severe symptoms, study shows
There are a LOT of people out there with untreated syphilis. At least one of them is running for president.
