I hope this subpoena is not quashed. I would love to see The Wicked Witch of San Francisco deposed.

Retirement? What retirement plans?

The stock market has lost all the gains it made since President Joe Biden was sworn into office, according to recent data reported by Fortune on Monday.

The S&P 500 took a sharp downturn, closing on Monday 151 points below where it was in January of 2021. The other two major indexes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite fell by 876 points and 530 points respectively, both below where they were when Biden took office.

Cryptocurrency has also taken a hit. Bitcoin lost 15% of its value, and Ethereum lost 16%, according to Fortune.

Thank you Resident of the White House Mush Head.

Please explain how these assholes can make these ludicrous claims with a straight face?

Hmmm. I thought if I raised children to be good upright citizens that would be enough of a thrill at age 50. Obviously I was on the wrong track.

'Like being stuck in a wheelie bin, on a rollercoaster for 90 days': Daredevil will attempt to break record by sailing 1,900 miles across the Atlantic in boat that is just 3ft3in long and has top speed of 2.5mph
Andrew Bedwell, 48, from Lancashire, hopes to break a world sailing record
He has crafted a tiny 3ft3in boat, which he will sail from Canada to Cornwall
Andrew is comparing his journey to being 'stuck in a wheelie bin' for 90 days

He said: 'I always like to have a real challenge on the go - although my wife quite often feels I'm crackers - but I said before I'm 50 I want to have done something amazing.

Can your physician or his assistant answer this question the next time they attempt to foist the Kung Flu prick into you? What is Graphene Oxide? I bet Justin Bieber and his wife would like to know.

What's Graphene Oxide?
Is a toxic material hiding inside the COVID vaccines causing blood clots?

As more and more people around the world share their stories of COVID vaccine injuries, the inevitable question becomes: what’s really in the experimental shots? This is not an academic question. In fact, it’s going to be the single most important question in medicine and public health policy for the next 50 years because we’ve just forced billions of people into a medical experiment.

People are beginning to acknowledge these COVID vaccine side effects (despite the gaslighting of the medical community and the federal government) and even celebrities are admitting to these issues. For example, Justin Bieber now has facial paralysis — and his wife recently survived a massive blood clot in her brain that led to a stroke. Neither of them has said that the COVID vaccines are responsible — but who are we kidding anymore? Are those typical medical issues for a couple in their 20s?

Truth

I don't care to fly. This doesn't help.

Cabin crew says passengers on 'newer planes' are 'breathing in 90% farts and coughs'
The flight attendant posted on Reddit to say that new planes use '90% or more recirculated air' which means passengers are breathing in 'whatever us gross humans expel from our bodies'

When I hear the term "Chicken Nugget" I think of a piece of breast meat breaded and deep fried. This "Chicken Nugget" is more like chicken meatloaf.

June 13 (UPI) -- A TikTok cooking duo broke their second Guinness World Record by creating the world's largest chicken nugget, which weighed in at 46 pounds and 3.34 ounces.

Nick DiGiovanni Lynn "Lynja" Davis previously broke a Guinness World Record in November 2021, when they created the world's largest cake pop.

There is no thing such as Center Left Think Tank. It's Leftist. Period.

Our democracy hangs by a thread. We are Democrats — five former members of Congress and two recent House candidates — who are uniting to help save it. Our plan is to counter the torrent of lies that helped cost us our elections in 2020. We know these attacks are coming again, and they endanger the republic.

Just eight votes separate the parties in the U.S. House of Representatives. With a shift in a handful of the 435 House districts, the speaker’s gavel would fall to Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. This is a man who, hours after the U.S. Capitol was attacked by a violent mob seeking to overturn the results of a free and fair election, joined two-thirds of House Republicans in supporting the biggest lie of all. That Jan. 6 House vote to reject President Joe Biden's wins in Arizona and Pennsylvania reminds us that some will sacrifice anything — truth, honor and even the most sacred tenets of our democracy — to grasp at power.

Older story but still relevant to the upcoming November elections. Will the Stupid Party fight fire with fire?

It looks like the Mary Cloggenstein's cousins in Maine are about to have their wildest dreams come true. Portland, Maine will see an increase in property taxes.

Portland, Maine to raise property taxes to pay for free housing for 'asylum-seekers'

Illegal aliens are known to cost U.S. citizens billions to support, but rarely is that experienced as directly as it is now in Portland, Maine, where city officials voted to raise property taxes in order to house 1,200 "asylum-seekers," along with 500 homeless.

I hope it hurts.

The next time someone brings up the subject of electric vehicles. Ask them why do they believe in immoral vehicles.

S IT IMMORAL TO DRIVE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE?
Of all the crazy policies we see implemented around us, from decriminalizing theft to teaching children to change their “gender,” perhaps the craziest is government’s determination to force us to drive electric vehicles. EVs like the Tesla are perfectly fine cars, or would be if they weren’t subsidized or mandated. But they are terrible for the environment, and the conditions under which their materials are mined raise serious ethical questions.

Ronald Stein makes excellent points in his column titled “Is it ethical to purchase a lithium battery powered EV?”

The lower image is just one lithium supply mine where entire mountains are eliminated. Each mine usually consists of thirty-five to forty humongous 797 Caterpillar haul trucks along with hundreds of other large equipment. Each 797 uses around half a million gallons of diesel a year. So, with an inventory of just thirty-five the haul trucks alone are using 17.5 million gallons of fuel a year for just one lithium site.
***
Today, a typical EV battery weighs one thousand pounds. It contains twenty-five pounds of lithium, sixty pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminium, steel, and plastic. Inside are over 6,000 individual lithium-ion cells.

It should concern you that all those toxic components come from mining. For instance, to manufacture each EV auto battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth’s crust for just one battery.

There is the right way to handle employment termination. And the Genius Award Winner Way.

A man's visa is under review after he allegedly got drunk, stole his employer's car and dumped it on train tracks, leaving it to be hit.

The 23-year-old was at home in Merungle Hill in central NSW, about 360 kilometres west of Canberra on Saturday night where he "consumed a large amount of intoxicating liquor", police said.
Police said the Vanuatu national, who doesn't have a driver's licence, then took a Hyundai Tucson owned by his boss and drove to nearby Regulator Road.
