Oh Joy!

  I needed a new passport photo, again! Today I went to Liberia, to a professional and it was the best photo yet. I just sent it off. Pray for me. Necesito mi pasaporte!

  All in all my morning was shot so I will post some memes for your humor needs. Mea culpa.

That's my passport photographer, Oscar. He is also a magician and entertained us for about a half hour. He is a reflection of why I love this country, it is the people.

I will see you tomorrow.

Love.

Trump’s Economic Meltdown Is the Ultimate Self-own

Trump’s Economic Meltdown Is the Ultimate Self-own

Presidents don't typically create the economies attached to their name. Donald Trump is not typical, and the affordability crisis is his own...

Trump: "This is Biden's economy, we are still living with Bidens inflation."

So, you admit, despite having all 3 branches of government you've done nothing in 2 years. - jezz

One Less Pedo On The Planet Is A Good Thing

 Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was jailed for violating banking laws, has died, a coroner in Illinois said. He was 84.

Both the longest-serving Republican House speaker and the highest-ranking elected U.S. official to serve a prison sentence, Hastert's stunning fall from grace came in 2016, when he was sentenced to 15 months in prison on charges related to his concealment of hush money payments made to cover up his sexual abuse

Attorney General Todd Blanche moved on October 1 to end journalist Katie Phang's Epstein-files lawsuit at the pleading stage, asking U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan to rule that she cannot prevail as a matter of law.

TRUMP: “I know more about everything than anybody in this room. Anybody anywhere in the world.”

Gee, Will SCOTUS Side With The Oil Companies? I Made A Funny.

The Supreme Court will hear a major climate case Monday that could determine the future of state and local efforts to recover damages from fossil fuel companies over their role in global warming.

The case in question, Suncor v. Boulder, is an appeal of a Colorado Supreme Court decision that allowed claims of climate damages brought by Boulder city and county against oil companies to proceed.

Lordy, A Prelude To The Midterm Elections: CHINA CHINA CHINA

Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro revealed the White House is concerned about China meddling in the 2026 midterm elections during a Thursday interview with Bill O’Reilly.

“They have the capabilities [to interfere] and we’re worried about this coming election in ’26 and again in ’28,” Navarro said.

He told the ex-Fox News host that President Donald Trump is well aware of the Chinese threat, since the country’s communist regime already interfered with the 2020 presidential election.

I don’t think we’ve prepared ourselves with how violent MAGA is going to get when they lose the midterms. - Jaime Bonkiewicz

Sadly, Federal Judges Have Already Ruled That It's Okey Dokey For ICE To Hide Their Faces So The DOJ Will Probably Slam Dunk This...

The Justice Department sued Maryland on Thursday over a new law barring federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks and requiring them to identify themselves while working in the Old Line State.

The complaint, filed the same day the law took effect, argues that Maryland and two of its largest counties are illegally attempting to regulate federal officers, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, are therefore violating the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.

This is Blowing Rocks Preserve in Martin County, Florida on the Atlantic Ocean. When the conditions are right the water shoots up through those rocks. I have visited there many times. The gathering of sharks a hundred yards from the rocks are the largest I've ever seen in Florida. But that's just me.

Have a great weekend!

Peace.
