Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (1/9/24)

Quote I

"We don’t want to live the same day over and over again. We want to be creators of our life." Brenna Dregos

Quote II

"It was a big deal because I've been doing this my whole life — I started going to the Bahamas when I was two years old, and I'm 64 now. I have never seen this here. To be able to get this close and stay with this orca is probably a once-in-a-lifetime thing." Captain Bric Peeples

Quote III

“Volkswagen has always democratized technology and made it accessible to the many. This also underlines the innovative strength of our new products.” Kai Grünitz, VW board member for technical development

I don't know Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) but I bet he's a smart guy and knows better. Why waste your time and our tax dollars on another impeachment move?

FIRST ON FOX: A House Republican lawmaker is introducing articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, his office told Fox News Digital on Monday.

Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., plans to target Austin on Tuesday as fallout continues over the Pentagon’s delayed disclosure about Austin being hospitalized last week.

Rosendale told Fox News Digital in a statement that he believes Austin "violated his oath of office" on multiple occasions, citing the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, the migrant crisis at the border, and last year’s incident with a Chinese spy craft floating above the continental U.S.

And if the good congressman isn't smart, oh well, he's not alone in Washington, D.C.

Some might call the following story, 'Filler Material'. And since it's the internet, it has to be true, amirite?

Woman who had sex with dolphin claims it seduced her before 'committing suicide'

Ray Epps given a tap on the back of his hand. Something, and we know what it is, is wrong here.

Ray Epps Sentenced To One Year Probation For Conduct During Jan. 6th Riot

A judge sentenced Ray Epps, a man caught on tape encouraging demonstrators to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6th, to one year probation for his role in the Capitol riot.

Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia James Boasberg sentenced Epps to 12 months probation after Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors recommended Epps serve six months in jail for his conduct on and ahead of the Jan. 6th, 2021 Capitol attack. He is also ordered to pay $500

$500 fine and 12 months of don't do it again? Not much of a deterrent.

Freer? Someone is paying to hear the Black Hole pontificate. Well, it certainly isn't me.

BIGGER, BOLDER, FREER' Don Lemon announces new show almost a year after being fired from CNN after remarks about ‘middle-aged women’

"I've heard you... and today I am back bigger, bolder, freer!

"My new media company's first is The Don Lemon Show."

Lemon, 56, added, "It will be available to everyone, easily, whenever and wherever you want it, steaming on the platforms where the conversations are happening.

"And you'll find it first on X, the biggest space for free speech in the world.

I very seldom say, "I told you so." I'm not saying it now either, but I do have a smirk on my face.

Tesla Cybertruck faces criticism as videos of winter woes surface

Videos of Tesla Cybertrucks stuck in the snow are starting to come out as people laugh at the supposedly rugged vehicle, but it is to be expected.

Tesla fans love to use anecdotal examples that show the automaker in a good light. Therefore, they can’t be too mad when Tesla haters do the same to prove their points.

That’s what appears to be happening now with the Cybertruck.

Tesla has marketed the Cybertruck as a rugged all-electric pickup truck capable of withstanding the toughest conditions.

CEO Elon Musk even said that it would be a great truck for the apocalypse.

But naysayers are already using examples of Cybertrucks stuck in the snow to claim that the electric pickup truck is not all that.

If she isn't busy changing her husband's name.

She's being inspired by Hillary Clinton and lying about it. No, I think I do not care for Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was given a chance to make her case to conservative voters in Monday night’s nationally televised town hall on Fox News, just a week before Iowa voters go to the polls.

The former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has emerged as the establishment’s choice for the GOP nomination and has benefitted from glowing media coverage seeking to portray her as a viable alternative to current frontrunner Donald J. Trump.

Pay back can be so fun and satisfying.

‘Serious warning’ given to people with Baileys left over from Christmas

Christmas might feel like a lifetime ago now, but lots of us will still have certain festive reminders lingering about in our homes.

The experts at MyBuilder.com say that disposing of Baileys in this way is a surprisingly common post-Christmas disaster.

Turning off the oxygen machine's beeping is not Peace on Earth. Genius Award Winner.

A woman punched her father in the head during an argument Christmas morning about the beeping sound made by the 73-year-old victim’s oxygen machine, police allege.

According to an arrest affidavit, Christina Granados, 49, admitted striking her parent when questioned by cops who responded around 5 AM to the Lady Lake, Florida home that Granados shares with her father.

The victim told officers that he argued with his daughter “about the oxygen machine making a beeping sound” before Granados “punched him in the left side of his head” on December 25.

Granados, cops reported, said the pair quarreled “over his oxygen machine and due to the way her father was speaking to her.”

Yes, life does begin at conception. If it weren't so we would not have Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

A little girl whose parents were told she would never walk is now running around like other 5-year-olds after receiving emergency spinal surgery while still in the womb.

This miracle of modern medicine was available to first-time parents Georgia Axford and Tyler Kelly, then just 19 and 21, who were told their unborn baby had spina bifida after an ultrasound at 20 weeks.

The condition causes weakness or paralysis in the lower limbs, and the parents were told it was likely their child wouldn’t walk.
