The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

"It was a terrible experience for me. It was the first time, I never tried that before. But because I had already made up my mind to leave … I just summoned the courage. But then it’s not easy. The sea, the ship, it was shaking. I was so scared, but now I am here in Brazil." Thankgod Opemipo Matthew Yeye


Quote II

“You know — you’re full of shit and we can see that. Yeah, you liked them when it wasn’t your problem because you’re not a border state" Bill Maher

Quote III

‘We had to land so she could be arrested but also free in flight entertainment.’ Unnamed airline passenger

Go ahead, make my day.....MAJOR BEEF Wendy’s fans threaten ‘to riot’ if fast food chain does not bring back discontinued burger with loaded toppings

WENDY’S fans are furiously demanding the restaurant brings back a previously discontinued burger.

One customer even joked they were “about to riot” if the decadent sandwich doesn’t return to the menu.


Slow day.

OMG!!!! Our rating lowering is all Orangeman Bad!!!

And so of course, the Biden administration is blaming Trump.

"This Trump downgrade is a direct result of an extreme MAGA Republican agenda defined by chaos, callousness, and recklessness that Americans continue to reject," said Biden re-election campaign spokesman Kevin Munoz. "Donald Trump oversaw the loss of millions of American jobs, and ballooned the deficit with the disastrous tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations."

Ah, so now it's the Trump downgrade™

Trudeau's Divorce Leaves Nation In Shock That He Was Married To A Woman

OTTAWA, CANADA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the separation from his wife of 18 years Tuesday, shocking millions of Canadians who reportedly had no clue the effeminate leader had been married this whole time, least of all to a woman.

"Oh wow, he was married?" said normal Canadian woman Jill Thorleaf. "That's nice. Wait -- to a woman? Really?? Huh. Wow. I had no idea. Good for him."


Does Canada Marital Property Law? If so, it would be fun to see exactly how "poor" this schlub will be after the divorce is final.

Covid The Kung Flu continues to wreak havoc world wide.

Point of no return: Australians fight for the right to work from home permanently

SYDNEY, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Before COVID-19 sent one-third of the global workforce home, the Melbourne property surveyor that employs drone operator Nicholas Coomber called its 180-strong staff into the office every day at 9 a.m. to hand out assignments.

Now that they work from home, the surveyors travel straight to the field as early as 7.30 a.m., enabling Coomber to pick up his children from daycare earlier than before the pandemic.

I frequently fuel up the Misanthropemobiles at a gas station which runs digital advertising. I don't care for it. And now it's going to Walmart.

KEY POINTS

Walmart is pushing into in-store advertising to capitalize on its huge reach and chase growth in higher-margin businesses.

Walmart shoppers will soon see more third-party ads on screens in self-checkout lanes and TV aisles; hear spots over the store’s radio; and be able to sample items at demo stations.

Retailers have a unique opportunity to offer targeted ads, but have to be careful not to irritate or overwhelm shoppers.

So if you are a man, use your man card. Why go to social media? You made a decision. And I may add a good one. Someone should be a parent and not a Karen.

Mom Yells at Man to Stop Watching 'Deadpool' on Plane Because Her Son "Rows Behind" Was Left "Traumatized" Watching It
A Redditor wanted to know if he was in the wrong when a movie he was watching made a snoopy kid cry during a flight.

Within the past 6 weeks Commie Black Panther Colin Kaeprnick was condemning capitalism. I guess Taylor Swift and anyone who worked on her latest tour are the scum of the earth.

Taylor Swift is reportedly sharing her Eras Tour wealth with those who have helped her put on the show, including caterers, truck drivers, riggers, dancers and more.

The “Anti-Hero” singer, who is gearing up for the final leg of her North American tour, recently gave bonuses totalling over $55m (£43m) to everyone involved with the massive tour, sources told People.

Swift’s recent generosity comes after TMZ reported that she had given each of the truckers moving her sets around $100,000 (£78,600) ahead of her Saturday (31 July) Santa Clara concert.


Good on you Miss Swift.

The City of Miami PD sends Ukraine confiscated weapons.

Ukraine is a real-time example of why an armed citizenry matters. We have extensively covered the Ukraine War and its relation to the Second Amendment before. We have also pointed out how gun control groups, “experts,” and the media like to skip obvious truths and, in fact, complain that gun rights groups are “taking advantage” of those truths. To their chagrin of gun controllers, here’s another reminder of why gun ownership matters

The following comes from the Ukrainian Military Center, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ukraine (archived links). Their domain name checks out and their website appears to be legitimate.

Miami police handed over confiscated weapons to Ukraine

Small arms confiscated in the USA were delivered from Florida to Ukraine.

The use of Social Media takes down another bad guy.


As midnight approached one Friday night last month, Tiffany Fletcher held on to her boyfriend Kirk Adams as he steered his Yamaha motorcycle down U.S. 301.

They were headed to C.J.’s Saloon in Riverview to shoot pool and were nearly there when Fletcher saw a white pickup suddenly turn into their path.

“The last thing I saw before I shut my eyes was the side of the truck,” Fletcher, 38, recalled.

She remembers Adams braking and swerving in a futile attempt to avoid a collision. Then Fletcher was on the ground, unable to move. She lost consciousness and woke up in a hospital bed next to Adams, 59, who was screaming her name. He died days later.

The pickup driver didn’t stop. Hillsborough detectives launched an investigation to track down the person behind the wheel.

An unlikely piece of evidence helped them make an arrest: a one-star business review on Google.

Send lawyers, guns & money, the shit has hit the fan.

A mercenary for Russia’s notorious Wagner Group has appealed to police for help after he says his former cellmate and a group of sex workers he hired robbed him of his war earnings. Denis Kuzmin, a convicted murderer freed from prison to take part in the war against Ukraine, was on his way home to Omsk when he decided to stop at a Moscow sauna with his former cellmate, according to local media. The two hired several escorts, and Kuzmin said he eventually nodded off before waking up to discover both his friend and the women gone—along with the 790,000 rubles ($8,500) he was paid to kill Ukrainians. Kuzmin reportedly turned to police for help after calling his former prison buddy only to be told he was already at Sheremetyevo International Airport.

There is more story than provided. A first time for a CPAP Genius Award Winner.

AUGUST 2--A Florida Man who already has sleep challenges, was battered early yesterday by his ex-wife, who ripped a CPAP machine off his face while he was snoozing, according to cops who report that the victim was left bloody after the 3:45 AM incident.

Investigators say Jennifer Colandrea, 42, and the victim live together in a St. Petersburg home owned by the 42-year-old man. Colandrea and her ex-spouse divorced in 2009, records show.

According to the man, he was asleep in his bed early Monday--CPAP in place--when Colandrea “came into the room and ripped” the breathing device off his face, leaving him with a bloody cut on his lower lip. Colandrea then “began arguing with him,” according to an arrest affidavit.

She served our country. Upon return life didn't go that well until she became aware of
K9s For Warriors. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Being in Iraq was a mind-blowing experience. Sirens going off, helicopters, it’s just something that really sticks with you and changes the way you look at life,” said Stephens.

Stephens retired from the US Army in 2011. She said symptoms of PTSD immediately set in.

“Mood swings and these emotions and feelings. I took painkillers, and within a year, I was a full-blown addict,” said Stephens.

She said she was on the verge of taking her own life when she found K9s For Warriors.
