I told y’all that mfker was high. - Noel Casler

I saw this post on Twitter, er, X, early this morn.

FBI’s honorary employee of the month: Taylor Swift

“Taylor Swift has single-handedly forced every crybaby in America to come out of the shadows and admit their unhinged thoughts on social media. It would take the FBI decades to do that.”

- FBI

I’ve always believed that it takes way more energy to be mean than to be kind. Being a person like Donald Trump must be exhausting. - Andy Borowitz

Thank you for visiting and I will be back in the saddle again tomorrow, barring any more high winds.

No One Is Surprised At Trump's Abuse of the White House Pharmacy.

The White House pharmacy under the Trump administration flouted federal regulations by doling out prescription pills, including stimulants and sedatives, to ineligible staffers without keeping adequate records, according to a scathing government report released this month.

“Severe and systemic problems” were found in “all phases of the White House Medical Unit’s pharmacy operations,” the Department of Defense’s Office of the Inspector General found.

Oklahoma GOP Censures Their U.S. Senator. Their Neighbor, Missouri, Probably Favors A Duel.
The Oklahoma Republican Party approved a resolution Saturday censuring Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., and attacking the Republican lawmaker for negotiating with Democrats on a potential border deal...The resolution also calls on Lankford to “cease and desist jeopardizing the security and liberty” of Americans.

The immigration deal – which has not yet been finalized – would reportedly make it harder for migrants to claim asylum, make it easier for U.S. officials to deport migrants who have remained in the country illegally, expand detention capacity and add Border Patrol staff.
