Thinker, amateur philosopher, a good day has at least 1 idea rolling around in my head. And a devout atheist, formerly an agnostic, formerly but still formally a Roman Catholic by birth. Please excommunicate me.
Why are laws argued so much.

We have way too much jibberish on the shelves.

So it turns out that a DOGE employee took our SS data and put on an unsecured outside govt server.

Biggest data breach in history?

I have had to listen to tee-Rump for almost the last hour in Davos since I have MSNOW on in the background.

To save you the trouble of listening to him go on,

Let me give you an accurately distilled version of it.

Maybe Switzerland should just not let AF1 land and redirect AF1 somewhere else.

SCOTUS is listening to an argument to decide if the owner of a property can forbid a visitor from carrying a gun onto their property

Big fat lazy curve over the center of the plate in SCOTUS's wheelhouse

We will find out if SCOTUS is junk

This should be a quick 9-0 in favor of the property owner

Just a reminder.

Another government shutdown coming.

As I read and understand the Insurrection Act,

tee-Rump declaring it would be outside the parameters of the Act.

Therefore, any US military following a deployment order on the Act, would be following an ILLEGAL order.
If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act to send our military to the streets of BLUE states, the military must be reminded that
the military can NEVER follow illegal orders!

Now we know WHY Trump was so upset that our six Democratic Congress men & women made a video reminding the military of this LAW.

If tee-Rump declares an insurrection.

Does he give us license to give him one?

She gave him a framed Nobel PP.

He gave her a gift bag of swag.

When she got back to the hotel, did she find used diapers in it?

So Nobel has be lowered to the level of FIFA.
A very embarrassing day for the world

And ICE, without body cams, is claiming that this person was shot resisting.

I am inclined to believe ICE is lying again.
This was reported as being the emergency call & video by the wife of the man who was shot in Minnesota tonight & based on this call, it appears that DHS is lying yet again.

I have trouble hearing everything they're saying but did a little translation so you can understand what's being said.

NASA, you don't need to release anyone's name.

What medical condition cause this early ISS evac.

A 30ish young couple bought the house across the street.

They seem nice, he's in commercial real estate and she doesn't work.

I noticed this week, he hasn't gone to work.

I'm glad you put it in his name, as I am not part of this.
This is Trump’s America!
January 15, 2026 at 6:16 PM
There are 2 stories heard today.

ICE claims they shot because they were being assaulted.

The other the wife claims they chased him into the house and shot him through the door.

ICE, we can settle this, just show us the body cams.

Crickets

We already know ICE lies, so which story is more likely?

I she gives the Nobel PP to tee-Rump, I hope the Nobel committee takes steps to claw back the cash prize that goes with it.

I think it's 1.17 million dollars.

I'm in Rio Rancho NM. I need someone to go up I my roof and tale some pics.

I have a ladder, I'm 73 and I can't even lift the ladder.

Flat roof.

None of this makes sense.

My 15 year old furnace, has a intermittent problem that appears to be the gas valve.

The repair guy says it has to be ordered and will take 7-10 days.

Can't you get it any faster I ask.

No.

WTF
January 14, 2026 at 4:55 PM
I remember hearing that argument over many years.

Does that argument means, that holding a camera, blowing a whistle, holding a sign is bad?

But it's OK to brandish a gun, would that make the protest legal and acceptable?
January 13, 2026 at 5:33 PM
I started hearing that people are proposing price controls

As in the business of selling automotive parts in the mid 70's where price controls were tried let me point out how it didn't work then

All it took to raise a $ on a part change the SKU#

Couldn't ctrl commodity prices like oil and food
