TJM celebrates Memorial Day the only way he knows how.

Those of you who are longtime Not Watchers of Stephen Colbert will not enjoy this flashback of Colbert dancing with Chuck Schumer while wearing ostentatious covid masks

Rush Limbaugh was an innovator in so many ways, including being among the first to not watch Stephen Colbert

DNI Tulsi Gabbard tenders her resignation for June 30, says her husband has been diagnosed with a rare bone cancer and she will have to help him through this

TJM definitively ranks the films of Sam Peckinpah.

Podcast: CBD and Jim Lakely of The Heartland Institute chat about Heartland's two recent discussions: The affordability crisis in America, and The UN retreating from their most maniacal climate projections. Along the way we talk Democrat insanity and the changing electoral map...and more!

TJM discusses the violence of Sam Peckinpah.

After threatening that the "clock is ticking" for renewed strikes on Iran, Trump once again calls them off to give negotiating a chance.
I can't even cover this any more. It's embarrassing. It's like covering the endless negotiations over DHS funding. Trump is going to drag this out through the midterms and then lose them.
Note to the president: At some point, allowing the Regime to remain in power without actually forcing them to give up nukes is just a back-door, unacknowledged renewal of the Obama policy.
Well, I guess we just have to wait for their economy to collapse and their troops to desert.

TJM definitively ranks the films of David Lean

Mayor Karen is so stung by fan-made AI ads that she's resorting to the shitlibs' go-to demand for an end to criticism -- these ads are "violent" and "hateful" and making me feel unsafe because one video showed AI cartoons throwing tomatoes at me and the tomatoes looked like blood when they squished
This was her actual complaint. The mushed-up tomato looked like blood so it's a death threat and these violent attacks on me must stop. What is dis bitch, CNN?

Podcast: Sefton and CBD are joined by Jeff Carter, candidate for NV treasurer, and seasoned finance professional, for a discussion of the issues facing Nevadans, and the larger financial challenges in America.

TJM explores the movies of David Lean, director of Lawrence of Arabia

Few people remember that Norm MacDonald began his career as a ventriloquist
MacDonald's old partner Adam Egot revealed that MacDonald repurposed a bit with one of his ventriloquist dolls -- that he was a "bad guy" who "didn't believe the Holocaust happened" -- for the Norm MacDonald show, in which he claimed Egot didn't believe in the Holocaust.

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

TJM wonders about world building in stories, mostly The Hunger Games

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

It's the same one I posted earlier in the week, only this one is of a much better video-quality. And you can see on the basis of this video that the Marines or Army didn't just shoot two or three shots. Looks like at least two three-shot burts, but I'm not in the military and so I'm just guessing. Still great fire discipline-- all shots land within a foot of the target. Some readers objected to the "happy dance" over this terrorists' death. Be advised that Big Dick isn't exactly regretful about the death, so that might annoy you. I'm sorry to be posting such macabre stuff a second time, but this new video does actually refute my claim of only two or three shots, so I actually think I have to provide the link. Be warned: The better video quality makes this more graphic than the original video. posted by Ace at 04:42 PM Comments You've got a bad link to Dick. Posted by: Kevin on June 18, 2004 05:48 PM Thanks. He's got a bug in all of his links-- his links always double-post the first part of the URL. Fixed now. Posted by: ace on June 18, 2004 05:56 PM The guy chaz who comments on Big Dick's site pretty much says what I was trying to get across in my inept blitherings. Although, to be fair, I did crack a big grin at a later comment about a carload of pipe bombs going off. Posted by: Bravo Romeo Delta on June 18, 2004 06:00 PM I thought it was only two shots. But still, those blast points were far too accurate for Sandpeople. Posted by: rdbrewer on June 18, 2004 08:31 PM Ya know, thank God that these guys simply never learn how to fight. I mean, what the fucking fuck-- who sits in the middle of the goddamn street to pop off an RPG? Sometimes, it's like a fucking Darwin Award contest over there. I hope our boys stay frosty, and don't get too cocky-- but days like that have to renew the faith in Yankee discipline, marksmanship, and ability to chew gum while kicking ass. Dave Arlington, VA Posted by: Dave on June 19, 2004 12:12 AM Thanks for the link. I'm glad you posted it. The guy was setting up to kill American troops. They are our first line of defense. Enough of them get killed and we have to worry about defending ourselves here on the homeland. So, I don't feel any regret over the justified killing of a terrorist thug. He looked so surprised before he flopped back and died. Posted by: Helen on June 19, 2004 12:45 AM I hate to say I told you so about the three round bursts, but, No. I DO love saying I told you so. I told you so. As you can see in the clip, they teach us well at MCRD Parris Island. Posted by: Swiftsure on June 19, 2004 02:33 AM Post a comment Name: Email Address: URL: Comments: Remember info?
