Enjoying the lazy life.
Where's DOGE when you need them. Here's a government official sleeping on the job. As taxpayer we shouldn't have to put up with freeloaders and grifters.

I hope more Midwesterners take notice of what these ICE agents are doing to their fellow US citizens. "Ice agents clash with cemetery workers trying to help a man in the Des Plaines River." ICE pepper balled the workers for not opening the gate. Make your vote count!

I wasn't going to do another song, but the Vinny situation this week pretty much demanded an Emo version of Vinny's Lament with more footage and some new verses in the back half. I softened the chorus language to make it more true to Che Baccala and added Vinny quotes. #bb27 youtu.be/4C9XdfVqvCI

Heidi Plummer, an attorney in O.C., strolled through Centennial Park in Santa Ana to clear her head.

Plummer says she ended up in handcuffs when federal agents arrested her during a sweep after she advised people in Spanish of their constitutional rights.

The graphic shown on CNN was incorrect, Yes% should have been No% and No% should have been Yes% a major fubar. Even if 100% of of the votes cast between 10AM and 11:55AM were cast as a "No" vote (11,037) this still does not bring you to the # of "No" votes shown at 11:55AM.

I remember a while back reading about Warren Buffet shifting out of stocks to a cash position. Analyst were puzzled but "The oracle of Omaha" knew better.
finance.yahoo.com/news/warren-...
Warren Buffett defended his massive $300 billion cash pile in February. Now he doesn't have to.
Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett sold stocks and loaded up on cash last year. Then, the market tanked.
