Quote IV

“These people are odious on the inside and out. They’re like 5-2, 350 pounds and they’re like ‘give me my abortions or I’ll get up and march and protest’ and I’m thinking: ‘March? You look like you got ankles weaker than the legal reasoning behind Roe v. Wade Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)

Recently a rather large whitetail buck decided to "Commit suicide by Buick" while the Fabulous was driving to work. I had a difficult time accepting the fact that the car had a higher value now than 4 years ago.

Used Car Price Crash is Coming
A used car price crash is coming.

And that will not bode well for the new car market either, especially with the Fed hiking like mad.

Finally, think about this in terms of retail sales as well as new car manufacturing.

Unleaded Gasoline Futures Declined 26 Percent, Has Inflation Peaked This Economic Cycle?
Yesterday, I asked Unleaded Gasoline Futures Declined 26 Percent, Has Inflation Peaked This Economic Cycle?

It's safe to add used car prices to the list of price collapses.

It's not official but Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is running for POTUS.

“I’ll give you a real problem. We have a Transportation Secretary named Pete Buttigieg who believes that highways can be racist, who believes that $5 gas — which is killing working Americans — that $5 gas is a great thing because that means people are going to drive less or because everyone is going to go out and buy a $65,000 electric car with a Chinese battery in it. I’m going to focus on the real problems,” said Rubio.

“I’m not going to focus on the agenda dictated by a bunch of affluent, elite liberals and a bunch of Marxist misfits who sadly today control the agenda of the modern Democratic Party,” he concluded.

After WI Gov. Scott Walker signed Act 10 into law I attended college graduations where the school's chancellor whined like a little girl about "cuts" and other egregious financial burdens. Boo-fvcking-hoo.

No one walked out of the center including yours truly. As adults we must hear things that we disagree about and really don't have an opportunity to respond.

Do you want to be treated by an immature doctor who graduated from the University of Michigan?

Video: Michigan Medical Students Walk-Out During Ceremony Out Of Protest Over Pro-Life Speaker
A few dozen medical students walked out of a University of Michigan ceremony to protest against a keynote speaker who is unashamedly and vocally pro-life.

Let's learn a new language together 'rons & 'ettes.

Schadenboner time. Good thing one of those behemoth Green Energy lovers weren't on this bus. The fire would still be burning.

On Saturday morning, during the heatwave that swept the East Coast, a new electrically powered public transportation bus caught on fire as it sat in the bus parking lot, according to fire officials.

The Hamden Fire Department was dispatched to the CT Transit bus depot in order to extinguish the fire that had spread throughout the electric bus.

John Kerry may know how to marry rich women. He doesn't have the foggiest idea how the economy works. Just think this jackass could have been president.

EXCERPT:

KERRY: "We’re making some progress, we are moving forward, but we’re not making enough progress, and we’re not moving forward fast enough. I mean, people are scared partly because of what’s happening with Ukraine, partly of the gas situation, in Europe particularly, the inflation that we’ve all suffered, but on the other hand, the steps we need to take to deal with the climate crisis, most of them are, in fact, anti inflationary.”

The State of New York has multiple laws which apply to guns and Thou Shalt Not Steal. What good are more "gun control laws".

The latest example comes from Brooklyn, where during church services at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in the Canarsie neighborhood on Sunday morning were rudely interrupted by three armed men looking to take up a collection of their own.

Silly congress lady. Your question is off limits when it comes to the homosexual lobby.

Dressed in Carnaby Street threads, the ever-changing Bob Dylan plugged in for his headlining set backed by the Butterfield Blues Band at The Newport Folk Festival in Newport, Rhode Island. Folk music ‘purists’ tried to boo him off the stage, while the rest of the audience gave him an enthusiastic response. It is usually said that the reason for the crowd's hostile reception was Dylan's 'abandoning' of the folk orthodoxy, or poor sound quality on the night (or a combination of the two). via thisdayinmusic.com

Nope, I won't apologize for enjoying Bob Dylan's music.

Erik Braunn from American psychedelic rock band Iron Butterfly died of cardiac failure at the age of 52. Braunn was just 16 years old when he joined Iron Butterfly who had the 1968 US No.14 single 'In-A- Gadda-Da-Vida’. via thisdayinmusic.com

Warnings? Don't know what they are. Genius Award Winner.

In the clip, the woman can be heard screaming before a man on a kayak paddles over to save her.

The shocking attack took place at around 8am local time on Sunday at Kaimana Beach in Honolulu.

Hawaii News Now reports that the woman had previously been warned about the dangers of swimming in the area by marine life officials.

The monk seal, which can measure around 7.5 feet long and weigh up to 450 pounds, was reportedly nursing, and so was likely to be extra-protective of its newborn cub.
