Timothy Birdnow
Nope, the U.S. September heat wave was no record.
Won't hear THAT on the evening news.

Mark Carney Elbows Canada to the Bottom
Tiothy Birdnow
Mark Caney's "elbows up" strategy of antagonizing the United States has
led to massive jobs loss in Canada - 68000 in September (the equivalent of half a million jobs in the U.S.) and that after a loss in August of 41.700. Elbows up will soon mean as in downing a glass of Moosehead Lager as everyone will have nothing else to do eh?
The Canadian dollar has declined to a value of just shy of 70c U.S.
Considering our dollar is worth just a few pennies from what it once was a decline in the Canadian this far means inflation is going to spike. This was a 44% drop in value.
The article states:
For CTH readers, allow me to explain what is happening that is not found in the Canadian financial media.
Business investment is essentially at zero; nothing is happening. Multinational corporations who are spending in Canada are purchasing assets. Other vulture capitalists and China are looking at exploiting the shrinking Canadian system, which is giving the Canadian govt a false sense of investment security. However, these institutions are not investing for growth, they are simply purchasing assets – purchasing in advance of what they predict will be massive leverage for how they will exploit the commodity or asset they are purchasing.
Carney is selling Canadian assets, pipelines, raw materials, energy, infrastructure and airports. He is essentially carving up the economy, selling Canadian assets and trying to organize the economy so that Canadians don’t realize the GDP shrinking around them. But you will notice that positive economic activity, that is activity that would grow the GDP valuation, is not Canadian owned.
Corporations who operate inside Canada are not replacing retirees and/or ordinary turnover within their organizations. Corporations are downsizing as the internal economic activity shrinks. This is directly related to the September jobs data.
Meanwhile, through deportation and cutting off the avenues of illegal alien subsistence in America, Trump is putting pressure on the parasite class of illegal migrants and a portion of those are fleeing to Canada. Trump is transferring the economic dependency to Carney.
So Mark Carney is selling off Canada to prove he's as tough and as smart as Donald Trump. He's willing to wreck the whole country. But why shouldn't he; he can always go back to Europe and run some fool agency there when it all goes south.
My father said when he was in the infantry they used to tell the men "I want to see asses and elbows" meaning to get moving. That is what we'll see from Mark Carney when this all falls apart.

I dont know what happened to the people of Alberta and their movement to break from the Canadian federation.Did it run out of steam or did its leaders get bought off. Regardless, maybe this will revitalize them and put them back onto the path of statehood before Cuba.

Fauci was a NeverTrumper
Timothy Birdnow
Just as we thought all along; Anthony "I AM Science" Fauci hated Donald Trump and wanted him removed from office.
If he wanted Trump impeached, how far was this man willing to go? Far enough to release a nasty cold virus to gin up a pandemic?

Pike "Angry" about Botched Execution
Timothy Birdnow
Oh boo-hoo!
So she's mad the state was unable to finish her off. She should be thanking them for screwing up and saving her worthless life; she now has a chance to find salvation for her soul, which would be lost otherwise. Hell is suffering eternal and she managed to cheat that for at least a short while.
A botched execution gave her a second chance at escaping damnation; she should be grateful and thank God.
Pike, you may remember, murdered a romantic rival with a torture fest and satanic invocations. If anyone deserved the death penalty it was she. That she was in her late teens is immaterial.
I see no signs she took advantage of her time incarcerated to make amends or repent of the evil she promulgated. Satan never keeps any bargains and I suppose she expected him to go to her rescue. Fat chance.

Hail Mary Pass; Democrats Say Trump Asks Iranians to Nuke America
Timothy Birdnow
In a recent speech about the need to continue action in Iran President Trump made the following statement:
"And I said it the other day: Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles,” Trump said. "On the way - let them hit - you want to see a horror show? You want to see problems? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles. And you want to see some bad things happen, you want to see a country that would be in freefall.”
"We're not going to let that happen. We protect our cities, we protect our country. We're not letting that happen. And they'd use it too. They'd use it. They would use it."
So naturally the Democrats made the claim Trump was inviting them to attack our cities.
Of course they cut out the second paragraph of the comment and are arguing that the President of the United States wants the Islamic Republic to wipe out our cities in a blaze of hellfire. I cannot fathom how any person with an I.Q. greater than a pants size could possibly believe that is what he was calling for, but the Democrats are not people with I.Q. levels above a pants size.
Even CNN had to admit this was a fake, a hatchet job on the President reminiscent of the tempest in a tea thimble that was the Charlottesville comment about fine people being on both sides (Trump was referencing on both sides of the argument about keeping Civil War statues or taking them down.) You remember that; they said Trump was calling neo-Nazis "fine people" when, in the same breath, he had condemned the Nazis. It was a lie but the stupid among us (and you know who you are) believed it anyway because they wanted to.
So now they are trying to suggest Trump wanted America to be nuked. Well, why ask the Iranians to do it? Russia has more and better nukes and they can hit America, and they are in a desperate death-struggle right now. IF Trump wanted America to burn it would be far easier to ask Vladimir Putin to do it.
This is evidence the Democrats are truly getting desperate; this is the kind of Hail Mary pass you throw when you are way behind.

Don't Believe Doomsday Porn Polling
Timothy Birdnow
John Enten of CNN says the Democrats are not gaining ground and in fact the GOP is doing better than in prior years.
From Matt Margolis at Townhall:
According to CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten, there's some incredibly good news for the GOP in both the short term and long term, which may matter more than the polls.
CNN anchor John Berman set up the segment by noting that plenty of surveys show the races slipping away from Republicans. He then asked Enten what the party could feel good about. Enten mentioned party registration in the swing states that usually decide presidential elections and compared today's margins with Election Day 2018, President Donald Trump's first midterm. Republicans have improved their standing against Democrats by four points in Arizona, five in Nevada, seven in Pennsylvania, and eight in North Carolina.
"So, when you take a look at how people are actually registering, this is not polling data, compared to where we were eight years ago, Republicans are doing considerably better in what are the swing states, at least normally in presidential elections," Enten said.
Berman pushed back with the obvious objection. That's a comparison to 2018, and the polls have been drifting toward Democrats for the past two years. So have Democrats made up any of that ground since 2024?
"In Pennsylvania, no. North Carolina, no. Nevada, no. Arizona, no," Enten replied. "There may be some tiny late gains that are going on right now, right, that I think over the last month maybe Democrats are gaining. But when you take the longer-term view versus the 2024 election in which Republicans won all of these states, Democrats are, in fact, not actually gaining ground."
So registration suggests a blue fizzle at best. But there is more:
Then came the historical context.
Enten told viewers that in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Nevada, and Arizona, Republicans hold their best registration position relative to Democrats in any midterm in at least two decades.
"The bottom line is this: Republicans, right now, are in a much stronger position than they have been, not just compared to eight years ago, but over the long term as well, the relative health of the Republican Party, at least in terms of party registration, is pretty gosh darn good relative to the Democrats," Enten explained.
Remember, Enten is an analyst from the radical CNN and not a guy at Fox. If HE is saying this...
What will matter is voter turnout. Fortunately the GOP has been seeing a surge in mature adults, the silver hair brigade, and they vote religiously.
The mainstream media and corporate polling suggests the GOP is in trouble and they are sticking with that. They hope to get Republican candidates to distance themselves from President Trump and MAGA and thus turn voters off. This is an old trick they have used over and over and it used to work most of the time. Most Republicans in days gone by have started getting sweatflops and knocking knees when faced with these doomsday porn polls. I don't think that many of them are falling for it again.

Our Bodies Our Choice
Timothy Birdnow
What is it the feminists always say?
"New screenshots of text messages between the "Cornell 7” Jane Doe and one of the accused frat brothers show her telling him, "I don’t think we should feel any shame” a day after the alleged gang rape, adding, "our body our choice.”'
Her attorneys are arguing she had to "process" the sex acts which she later decided was rape because, well, everyone thought her a total whore.
This is why the prosecuting attorney's office did not press charges when this was brought to them; this is an admission it was consensual. Consensual means there was no rape involved (except in cases where a child is involved and cannot give informed consent).
Yes, these boys are total dirtbags but they aren't rapists. The real rape is this woman and the feminazis pushing her; they are raping these boys' civil rights.

Starving the Democrats
Timothy Birdnow
The U.S. government spent over 26 billion dollars to recruit and assist illegal aliens to come to America.
And while these NGO's no doubt used a lot of it to bring these aliens here against our will they also probably funded Democrats to no small part.
Thats why
this story is interesting and dovetails with the first. Democrats don't have the money to win the Senate, this article claims. In previous election cycles the Democrats have always had vast sums of cash on hand and were able to use it to win seats. Not so much anymore and I suspect the two are linked. The Democrats have been laundering money via these "charitable" organizations for decades now. Dry those up and you dry up the Democrat's ability to win elections.
The lifeblood of politics is money and the Democrats have long dominated because they created a machine to launder vast sums of cash, much of it from the American taxpayer. It kept Congress razor thin for years and gave us Barack Hussein Obama and Joe "the sunshine of the empty mind" Biden. This machine went back to the Clinton era and probably before. But now Trump is starting to dismantle it and suddenly the Democrats are finding the dark money harder to come by. We need to ride this to the end and then the Democrats will collapse and we can enjoy spitting on their political grave.
But first we have to win this November. In fact we have to win the next half dozen or more elections to restore balance.

Pole Dance
Timothy Birdnow
Older voters are moving back to the GOP in large numbers, prompting one pollster to suggest the election is
winnable for the GOP despite the gloomy predictions made by most poll watchers.
This thing is not over by a longshot.
InsiderAdvantage Polling
@InsiderPolling
From Matt Towery "So @nytimes says that there is a Republican "undertow” this year. They may be on to something we don’t see. Yes GOP voters do appear slightly less enthusiastic to vote (Alaska and Kansas are good examples). But there is another definite wave we are seeing. Voters 65 and over are the most enthusiastic to vote of all demographics. And they have moved back to the GOP in big numbers. Races are close in red states but also close in some blue states. A most unusual election cycle! Lots of states are battleground states that never have been before. Undertow versus Silver Wave. Who knows?

Now the NY Times is admitting there is an undertow? What does it man? It mans they know they have been lying about the polls and are now trying to set the stage for a GOP upset after predicting a blue wave. They do this every year, but this year they have taken it to the very edge because so much is riding on this.
Older people vote much more than do the young.
The article also points out that:
Towery’s statement comes months after a Reuters/Ipsos survey released last December found that 46 percent of registered voters 50 years old and above supported Republicans, while only 38 percent supported Democrats.
I do not believe polls showing a big win for Democrats. After the total beatdown of the last election how could they be correct? People overwhelmingly rejected the Democrat program and while things haven't been all kittens and sunshine under Trump the economy is much better than under Biden, America is respected again, the border invasion has closed, the crazy woke nonsense has declined, and we are in better shape all around. Yes, prices are still a bit too high and especially gas prices (which are substantially lower than during the Biden era)but overall people are better off now than they were two years ago.
Yes, people are brain-damaged where memory is concerned. And yes, the Dems won all of the special elections (where they threw vast resources at them while the GOP pretty much ignored them) but I still do not believe the public will be so fickle as to turn out the Republicans and bring back all the investigations and impeachments, the rage and acrimony and the insane socialist policies.
I think the tide is about to quietly turn as the pollsters scramble to explain why they got the polls so very wrong come November.

Potheads for Talarico!
Timothy Birdnow
James Talimebananarico just won the geriatric hippie country western pothead vote.
If by "good man" Nelson means a heretic free with other people's money who lies about his opponents then maybe he can make a case. He and I seem to differ on the meaning of "good".
Team Talarico
@TeamTalaricoHQ
BREAKING: @WillieNelson endorses James Talarico:
"I've gotten to know James Talarico. He's a good man, who will be a good senator for the state of Texas. Please vote and vote for James Talarico."

Nelson, who has admitted to being addicted to marijuana and smoked the devil's lettuce all of his life, has long been a Democrat and liberal activist and the fact his brain does not function should come as no surprise.

Unidentified Flying Psyops
This from Vincent Thomas Ignatious:
Further info on the UAP psyop...
Richard Doty. Who is Richard Doty? Glad you asked!
Richard Doty is a former special agent for the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations stationed at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico during the late 1970s and 1980s. He is one of the most polarizing and controversial figures in modern ufology due to his admitted role as a military counterintelligence operative who targeted the UFO community with official government disinformation.
Paul Bennewitz was an electronics contractor who got his hands on filmed test flights of covert military technology. He believed what he saw were extraterrestrial craft, and alerted the military.
Doty was tasked to feed Bennewitz elaborate UFO Disinformation materials and encouraged him to pursue the Alien angle in order to keep the military technology a secret.
Doty also fed this Disinformation to many in the UFO community, including John Lear. Lear, by the way, is the man who introduced us to proven liar Bob Lazar.
You are being lied to about UAPs.

Assisted Suicide; Lead by Example
Timothy Birdnow
I kid you not.
She eventually received counseling and they convinced her she was worth more to her family than just as chef and waitress. She withdrew her request.
But the fact the Canadian government approved this is simply astonishing.
Often elderly people become depressed because they can't do what they used to do, and they may express a desire to die and be set free, to not be a burden on their families. But this is a psychological issue and not a physical one, and the very fact someone who is not in great physical pain but who expresses a desire to die should give everyone great pause; it's a sign of mental issues and we don't give sharp knives or poison to people in psych wards who are suffering from depression. We exhaust every resource to help them handle their emotions. If we did not do that there would be a LOT of dead people in those hospitals.
Suicide, as the saying goes, is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.
Sadly doctors often jump to the conclusion that a careless word expresses a deep seated wish and that is not often the case.
When my father was in the hospital after experiencing a stroke I received a call from the attending physician who said they were going to put him on hospice. I was puzzled; he was in good physical shape and recovering well. I went to the hospital and learned my dad had run off at the mouth too much, saying he would rather die than be permanently "living like this" meaning permanently hospitalized. They immediately took that to mean he was refusing treatment and they were going to simply let the man die. Now he was in his early nineties at the time and at that age people often say whatever pops into their heads. I got the doctor to come in and talked to dad - something this foreign born guy didn't bother to really do - and he said "no, i don't want to die, what gave you that idea?" They started him back on treatments and he lived for another year and a half, most of it at home. He was talking about a hypothetical, about not wanting to be kept alive by artificial means or living when he was wholly incapacitated. They took it as a general principle.
If I hadn't fixed that he would have died earlier than necessary and we would have lost so much precious time with him.
Asking someone who is elderly and depressed because of it to make a decision like that is pure cruelty. But it is fundamentally no different than asking a tween if they want to be a girl and get their johnson removed; you are asking someone who does not have the capacity to make such decisions to make them and suffer permanent harm as a result.
This is so very typically liberal; they want people to be able to off themselves but not people to off a predator who is threatening their lives. They want to be free to copulate with anything, animal, vegetable, or mineral, but then kill the product of those unions, the child who had no choice in the mother's animal behavior. They try to ban alcohol, a chemical that has been with us for our whole history, but promote cannabis and other narcotics. They are the most double-minded of people, unstable in everything they do.
This story had a happy ending, but we are going to hear more an more horror stories in the years to come of people who die when they do not wish it.Its happened
at least once already.
This is what happens when you stop valuing all life and only care about those lives that can do something for you or for society. To the Left Life is not sacred but utilitarian and when that utility is at an end it's time to stop using resources better reserved for the productive (who, oddly, are often not productive at all but milk the system.)
I have a modest proposal; perhaps we should offer to euthanize welfare recipients and the underprivileged, homeless, and illegal aliens? None of THEM are pulling their weight. So shouldn't we send them on to their eternal reward? (See how kind I am; I didn't even tell them that, since there is no God there is no Heaven and when we euthanize them they will simply disappear forever.)
I am mindful of the old television show House. There was a scene where one of his patients said "I want to die with dignity" to which House responded "there is no dignity in dying". He is right to no small degree (and his character was an atheist so he was being non-hypocritical as he saw it as the true end of a person) and we should do what we can to keep people alive.
I've long argued Leftists love euthanasia and abortion because they ultimately seek equality with God and since they can't create life they can find their equality in deciding when and how it will end. This is the power of Satan, to take it away but not give it. The two are one.
If Liberals are so fired up about death with dignity might I suggest they lead by example.

The Legend of Frank, Part II
Chapter II
In which our hero slips away from the lab and his creators must find a way to lure him back.
And so the poor creature sought to fly free from his place deep in the bowels of the Earth. For the first time in his short, short life he saw the outside, and it fascinated and frightened him. But what frightened him most was his stomach, which was growling an protesting as it had been years since anyone used it and the creature was in fact growing a bit faint from hunger. He didn't know what was driving him but clearly something was compelling him to go, to seek out...something.
He stumbled away into the hardwood forest, a newborn giant of a man.
Meanwhile his creators, Dr. Foch and Ugore, did some stumbling of their own as when the strip club closed and they were seriously intoxicated and flat broke and suffering with a, well, shall we say temporary male problem caused by over stimulation.
They got lost on the way home but eventually found their lair and, singing about hundreds of bottles of beer, they giddily approached the door of he old mine only to find it ripped from the wall. Uh-oh! The good doctor and his servant sprinted inside and found their monster had gone! This was bad; he wasn't ready for the big world. He needed to learn a LOT and he wasn't going to pick up any good habits from the folks who lived around HERE! The plan was to make the creature erudite and classy but if he took up with any of these local yokels he was liable to turn into a bib overall-wearing hayseed!
Meanwhile the monster found his way into town and wandered down the main street unmolested. Most folks greeted him with a distrustful eye, because he looked to "big city" for their tastes. He could hear them mumbling under their breath "lookee at him; who do he think he is!" as he wandered the dark streets. Eventually he smelled something, something that smelled absolutely delicious to him!
Now, a town like Mudflap isn't exactly known for gourmet food and in fact about the only place you could get good eats after sunset was...you guessed it! The flagship restaurant of the Big Fat Burger Corporation. BFB dominated the culinary scene in the town of Mudflap and even that smelled good to a man who has never tasted food in his entire life. Not knowing anything about how you get food our hero ambled inside the crowded greasy spoon as if it were a Michelin Five star Bistro.
Not yet knowing how to speak the monster moved to the counter and grunted "rrrrr" and the pimple-faced teenager with the red scarecrow hair, dressed in his spotted, clownlike uniform, didn't know what he wanted "I'm sorry sir but I don't speak Russian" the now and future counter monkey and fry cook expostulated in his cracking, high pitched voice. The monster grew agitated, pounding the counter with his enormous fist and putting a slight crack in it. The kid, afraid now, went to the back and got him some food.
Now the premier menu item of Big Fat Burger was the Obesenator. A triple patty of dubious animal matter piled high with a brownish cheese food of some sort and deep fried with Lard, the whole thing was topped off with vegetables especially grown for the company in their local farms which they had fertilized by the disposing of material by the Happy Time Port-a-Potty company, a subsidiary of BFB. There was an unfortunate side effect where all the vegetables tended to be blue, but that was easily solved; the tomatoes were then dipped in red dye #3, giving it a red hue although it had a kind of purplish tint that was a bit disconcerting if you paid attention, and the lettuce was simply needed a shot of yellow dye to make it green. Easy peasy. This whole monstrous concoction was topped with ketchup and mustard imported from the central African Republic and likely grown under similar conditions as the vegetables for the Big Fat Burger Corporation.
The Monster who would come to be called Frank didn't know any of this; all he knew was his belly was very empty and he wanted to fill it.
Diners in the restaurant found it politic to take their meals home as the enormous creature consumed well over a baker's dozen of the Coffin whistle burgers. After he was finished he let out an enormous belch that made the whole restaurant shake and then the kid at the counter asked him for payment "You owe $5.96 sir" to which the monster, now wholly puzzled as nobody had ever explained money to him, simply turned and began walking out. The kid called the local sheriff for a dine and dash.
As our hero trudged out of the finest dining in town the crowd that had fled from him ran screaming in terror. It was right at this time the local sheriff's deputies arrived, lights flashing and sirens wailing. They flung themselves out of he doors of the Crown Victoria they drove and aimed their guns at the poor creature "Freeze Dirtbag!" Now the poor fellow had no idea what either of those words meant so he started walking away. One of the deputies, a very skinny fellow with a missing front tooth and a wad of chewing tobacco dripping juice out of the hole where the tooth had previously been, opened fire with his shotgun. Not a clean shot but it hit poor Frank, who screamed in pain and took off into the night.
This incident, memorable as it may be, was the beginning of something this little town would never, ever forget.
Soothes the savage Breast
Music they say can soothe the savage breast. There was ample music and opportunity to soothe breasts in a town with a major strip club like Mudflap's but that is a whole other story.
When Foch and Ugore arrived back in town they were horrified by what they were hearing; their monster had run amok, ripping off heads and arms and urinating in gas tanks and forcing himself on the town spinsters, and mooning old lady Hagstone. He was even accused of performing Mime and doing other performance art. Foch and Ugore were terrified because this town had turned uglier than usual and they feared for their creation as the townfolk were fetching pitchforks and torches and even knife, fork, and spoon sets. They planned to lynch the poor creature, or at least drink a lot of beer while running around in the woods. It was obvious Foch had to find Frank first (he was always a frankfirster.)
How to lure the creature back without alerting the townsfolk?
Ahh....music soothe the savage breast they say. The two scientists returned home for their musical instruments. They went out into the woods and started playing.
Unfortunately this is hillbilly country and their instruments were a banjo and a squeezebox. Instead of Mozart they had to play Earl Scruggs.
How do you soothe a seven and a half foot, six hundred and fifty pound monster with Bluegrass?
But it worked; you must remember that the bodies they used to make Frank had all been born and bred here in the hills. It was as much in the monster's buish colored blood as it was in his ears.
In fact the townspeople were all drawn to where Foch and Ugore were fiddling away and pretty soon a hoe-down was in progress (including some Hoes from the nudie bar) and when Frank showed up nobody much cared. Everyone was dancing and while the monster didn't know any dance moves he did the Monkey fairly well, what with his huge arms flailing.
It turned into the greatest celebration in the town's history and even the cops slapped old Frank on the back and offered him the jug, which he drained in one enormous gulp.
The Evil Stirs
After the big Hillbilly Rave our heroes headed for home to go to bed and put the monster back in his shackles. What none of them knew, or even dared suspect, was that the evil was awakening and soon their world would change forever.
The founder and CEO of the Big Fat Burger Company was a man named Commodore Christopher Crepewurm. Crepewurm was believed to have served in the Belizian navy and he was a man who got what he wanted. What he wanted most was to dominate the burger market in a way even McDonalds was incapable of doing. It was on his orders that Dr. Foch was hired and the nanobot program wound up creating Generation H, the amazing medical breakthrough that had made the reanimation of the creature possible. And Commodore Creewurm knew he could make more money than God, almost as much as Elon Musk, if he could get Generation H to increase the volume of his burgers. Other scientists working on this project had found a way to allow the bots to grow the burger but not make the customers grow (except in their mid-sections and thighs) thus avoiding any disagreeable lawsuits.
The company had run as many lab tests as they could; now it was time to do clinical trials and roll out the end product to the public.
And where better to start than in Mudflap, Missouri? It was the home of the BFB corporation after all, and in fact if anything bad happened to the customers the Feds probably wouldn't bother coming to check as they were used to the inred folks around there having some bizarre deaths caused by genetic mutations anyway. So Crepewurm decided to roll out his product that very day when the Creature came to town.
As the monster and his creators slept peacefully, dreaming of very flexible young ladies on poles (well, Foch and Ugor did anyway) the evil began to quietly take over the town.
The Sheriff was called to the Scudly farm by Mrs. Scudly, whose teenage son had awakened in the night, rose, and subsequently began trying to eat Mr. Scudly's brain. The kid was mindlessly gnawing on his father's prefrontal cortex, and while his teeth were inadequate to break through the skull a hammer from the barn did a fine job of it. Mrs. Scudly was rather concerned and she told the Sheriff that her son had never acted out that way before tonight and she was going to have to give him a stern talking to. When they asked what the boy had done that last evening she replied "he was at Big Fat Burger with his friends but got chased out by a monster". The men shrugged; they had met the monster that night they thought he was an o.k. guy, even if they shot him. So it was just coincidental that the monster was present; generally everybody is present in a small town like Mudflap anyway.
Sheriff Pone assured the mother her kid would have a decent future "he'll be able to go into politics or somethin " the Sheriff told her soothingly. "We'uns are going to take him in for the night just to make sure he don't eat no more brains".
So with the boy in tow they started back to the station. But they didn't make it very far before another call came on the radio about a different kid eating his older brother's brain.
Now, most of the townspeople in Mudflap enjoy a good brain as much as the next man. Mostly its pig or sometimes cow. And its unfortunate but every now and then someone undercooks their brain sandwich and catch Mad Cow. But this was different; these kids were getting sick BEFORE eating the brains. One call after another came in and it was always the same, and not just kids but a lot of adults were suddenly craving the gray matter. It was obvious they weren't going to have enough room at the little jail in town and Sheriff Pone was starting to wonder what to do with them all. He called up local ranchers and asked if they could pen the zombified people in their cattle barns for the night.
It was getting serious. The Sheriff and the Mayor tried calling the Governor in Jefferson City but since they were from a different party the operator in the Capitol refused to put their call through, telling them to write a letter. They then tried Washington but the cost was too high for them and Washington refused to take a collect call. They were on their own.
Then they noticed something else, something that chilled them to the very marrow; the infected were getting bigger and stronger. Soon there would be no controlling them.
At one point a group of the zombies broke free and headed straight to Big Fat Burger, where they scarfed down the raw patties of mystery meat.
Now it was getting serious. You don't steal from the Big Fat Burger corporation!
All the while Frank and his creators slept peacefully in their coal mine, blissfully unaware of the rising danger that was surrounding them and about to force them, particularly the monster, into a decision that would change the world.

I have to admit that I'm reading this late at night and so missing a lot of it, but... I'd think Frank would like the Earl Scruggs part, at least.

Hehehe...I thought as much too Dana.
This may not have been fun for anyone else but I'm enjoying writing it. This had so many fun ideas to play with.

Absolute Proof of Media Bias
Timothy Birdnow
In an election that has been nationalized since control of both chambers of Congress are up for grabs and whoever controls Congress will make or break the Administration's policies, we are treated to the most biased coverage by the media imaginable.
While we would expect nothing less it is still pretty staggering in it's bias scope.
FTA:
KEY FINDINGS:
Ruin for Republicans, Hope for Democrats: From September 1 to September 30, the GOP received 94% negative spin vs. 6% positive spin. The Democrats received far more balanced coverage, 53% negative, 47% positive. The Republicans drew 102 negative evaluations compared to just six positive statements. The Democrats received only 15 percent of the comments -- 10 were negative, nine were positive. With far fewer evaluations, the Democrats still drew more positive statements, nine to six. This doesn't include purely "horse race" or objective polling analysis of Trump or Republican candidates, which was almost completely negative.
Cross-Partisan Pattern: PBS reveled in news of Republicans crossing Trump, either through disagreement or through endorsing Democrats. They touted when "lifelong Republican" politicians endorsed Democrats, or when they made ads criticizing Trump policies as going too far.
Criticism of Trump on mail-in balloting dominated political coverage, with nearly half an hour of negative coverage. PBS was overtly hostile to the Trump administration's efforts to prevent illegal aliens from voting by mail.
Bias by Omission: PBS ignored increasing Democratic ideological radicalism, such as the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America. "Public" broadcasting has proven itself incapable of finding anyone or anything extreme on the Left.
While this is par for the course with the corporate media, it is still astonishing how brazen it is.
BTW I would like to point out PBS is still out there and abusing Conservatives. You may remember it was defunded by the President. For decades it received government funding to insult us and we were told defunding it would cause it to go out of business, yet here we are. Oh wait; a Federal judge struck down Trump's defunding and restored OUR TAX DOLLARS to the vile institution known as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. And the Republican controlled Congress did nothing about it.
We are funding our own destruction.
I just heard a plug for NBC News, saying they give "just the facts -unbiased reporting" I hope you didn't have any coffee in your mouth when you read that.
Yes, cable covered the stories, especially Fox. But ABC, CBS, and NBC did not mentioin it one single solitary time.
The tail has been wagging the dog for a hundred years or better now and it's past time for that to stop. The new technology makes it possible to get the truth out to the public. Sadly too many people still get their news from corporate media or from their smart phones, where they get the radical leftist stuff like Yahoo News.
This is disgraceful and we must find a way to hurt these propaganda organs in some way. The best way is to not watch them and to boycott their sponsors. I'm for that.

USAID in America
Timothy Birdnow
Does anyone doubt it? I've known for years the Democrats were laundering taxpayer dollars to themselves and their fellow travelers.
Christopher Rufo on X:
"We have a domestic USAID sending hundreds of billions of dollars to universities, labor unions, activists, and NGOs, that are running the same kind of propaganda we saw in Latin America here in the United States.”"

@christopherrufo
"We have a domestic USAID sending hundreds of billions of dollars to universities, labor unions, activists, and NGOs, that are running the same kind of propaganda we saw in Latin America here in the United States.”
And while Trump eliminated USAID there are still plenty of leftists in the bureaucracy funding what USAID did to Brazil and other countries right here at home. We MUST shut down the money flow from taxpayers.
Here in Missouri we have two propositions on the ballot. One would both eliminate transing of children and restrict abortion. The other would forbid the legislature from overriding the results of any referendum, no matter how twisted the language of the bill or how confused the voters were by it. I am seeing commercials on television about this and it's all from the Left - against the abortion amendment and for the popular referendum. I have seen ZERO commercials the other way. Zip. Nada.
So somebody with deep, deep pockets is funding these campaigns, while the conservative side has little to fight with. I suspect these two ballot proposals will pass because the public won't understand the issue or what's at stake.
Who is funding this? I suspect we have money laundered from our own government involved in this.
Only the Left is so bold as to steal taxpayer money to fund things that screw the taxpayer.
I hope Trump has a plan in place to deal with this. It's far more important we get our own house in order than fix other nations.

We Want Real Food!
Timothy Birdnow
I'm sure it's caused by Global Warming and Donald Trump.
It was caused by the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution was a program to create more productive clones and hybrids to increase food production back in the '70's when overpopulation was the big fear and they said there would be mass starvation by the year 2000.
Norman Ernest Borlaug was a biologist who came up with that plan, and in fact the world owes him a debt of gratitude because he DID save a lot of lives in the Third World with his modified crops. But these crops, while having greater yield,, had less flavor and fewer nutrients. That is why food doesn't taste the same as it did when we were young (at least us older guys who lived before the seventies.) It's hard to find heirloom seeds these days; all commercial farming is with these clones and hybrids. Now it's genetically modified - GMO's. Those are particularly onerous as they usually are sterile crops, forcing farmers to go back to the manufacturer - usually Monsanto.
At any rate I am not surprise the food is less nutritious.
FTA:
A new study out of the UK found that the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables has dropped like a lead balloon over the past several decades, with some crops losing 50 percent of key nutrients.
Frankenfood is just that and as the population tumbles we will need less of it. Time for a restoration of good old American food, grown in soil and tasting like it used to. We want beef, we want real beer, and we want our vegetables and fruit to taste like something a real man would eat.

This story is only true to countries that have to import the majority of their fruits and vegs, like the UK. A quick online search has many stories of how fast fruits and vegs lose their nutritional value when stored. When you have to import these from lands far away the storage time can be weeks if not months before the produce hits the store shelf. It may look fresh but looks can be deceiving. Best bet is to buy canned goods if the cannery is close to the place their grown because canned goods hold their nutritional value. Canneries would rather store canned goods over fresh due to the cost of storage. Here in the states best bet is grow your own or a farmers market, pressure cooker and mason jars. I remember my mom in the summer putting up hundreds of jars of fruits and vegs

Yes Mike, that is true enough. Long storage leads to a decline in nutritional value. We see that here in America with stuff imported from outside (like South American fruit). By the time you get an apple in August you are eating something that has been sitting around for months, even if it comes from South America. More likely it will be kept under environment control and controlled apples are tasteless and of dubious nutritional value.

Is AI a Bubble
Timothy Birdnow
Is AI a bubble? At least one billionaire
thinks so.
I think so too, but I've been wrong about high tech a number of times.
Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns this is starting to look like a classic bubble with so many corporations pouring vast sums of money into AI.
As Dalio points out, the vast expansion is being financed by debt. So this thing is blowing up like a balloon.
If AI crashes and burns it will hurt the U.S. Economy, but what will it do to China? They put all their chips on it.
This whole business about regulating AI and keeping data centers out of our neighborhoods may be moot.

Everyone is worried about artificial intelligence; meanwhile, natural stupidity is out here thriving. From the website The view from Lady Lake and this shoe fits perfectly.

Hah! Great turn of a phrase Mike! You are going to wind up being my replacement at this site.

Europe's Version of Lady Liberty
Timothy Birdnow
Tariffs anyone?
This is not just busting on Trump, it is an insult to every American who voted for Trump and in fact is an insult to the Europeans who want to roll back the internationalist crap being forced on them.
The statue put up in the halls of Parliament in Brussels depicts a naked Donald Trump, and his body does not look too good, holding a golf club as a scepter and a scale of justice.
The creator is a leftist from Denmark, who is handing out three D photos of the statue all over the world.
That Europe would put this up and insult our nation in this way is reprehensible and needs to be punished. Tariffs maybe. We could also think about leaving NATO, a worthless institution. Maybe Trump can commission a similar statue of Ursula von der Leyen, who basically is the Grand Poobah of the E.U. and display it outside the entrance to the White House.
As the Euroweenies said, Trump should have thicker skin. Why? This wasn't just a private statue on private property but displayed by the European Union itself, meaning they endorse it. If you endorse an insult to America you deserve to take it in the shorts from us. Presidents in the past would have just shrugged it off, but there is a new sheriff in town.
I hope Trump has a good response. We should pull our military out of Europe and close our bases, which are a big source of income for the host countries. We've been protecting them for decades and making their economies rich in the process. Time to take the training wheels off.
I would add this sort of passive-aggressive behavior is exactly what a weak and childish nation would indulge in and shows deep down they know they are our inferiors.
The United States has Lady Liberty welcoming people to New York City, perhaps our greatest metropolis. What does Europe have now? A small statue mocking Donald Trump. Speaks volumes.
