Boss Hogg doesn't even know who controls the straight.

I never thought I would say hooray for Scott Jennings.

Interestingly, CNN became part of Warner Bros Discovery in 2022, when it was created. They went thru a news chief who failed and in 2023 hired a guy with NYT and BBC background to run news. Supposedly trying to be more journalistic. It still is left leaning (I think because I don't watch it) but kudos to them for trying.

ps. Warner Bros Discovery is in sales discussions with Netflix and with Paramount Global, so CNN may be under new ownership in the next year or two.

“Operation Economic Fury”.


According to some estimates Iran is losing $ 500,000,000 million from losses economically, thru imports AND exports.

I ***/u/me that is weekly or monthly !

I just saw where the economic losses are just under $ 500,000,000 Million A DAY !

Just a FYI, Dr Helmut Sterz, who is the Pfizer executive that testified, looks to have retired in 2007. Retired after his lab was closed, so he might have an axe to grind with Pfizer.

I would hope that would give some pause when quoting him. I’d be curious to hear if he said there was a particular ingredient or mechanism of the vaccine that killed people. Seems more speculative than science based. But again, I’d love to see more investigations into death and injury claims.
As stated multiple times here, I took the initial 2 Moderna shots administered by Orange County Health Dept, NY.

Why ? I fit the profile of the vast majority of people being infected : Age, weight, prior AND current health conditions, contact with the public.

Results !: exactly 2 weeks after the second Moderna shot, I woke up in the AM and was unable to walk. I had had a stroke according to the trauma center Hospital I was taken. Some short time of a week or so and I was transported to Helen Hayes Rehab Center. There I was taught how to walk again. It took 6 months before I was discharged and ANOTHER 6 months before I could walk, unaided, a mile on the high school track. (4 laps)

Judgement; The HARDEST athletic event I have ever had to endure. Harder than when I broke my leg, harder then recovering from a gun shot wound. ANYTHING !

Paramount Skydance did win the bid over Netflix. The only pause for concern is Ellisons don’t have a lot of cash on hand. The merger deal still has to be approved by Fed.

I was responding to Uncoach, the response had two different quote tweets and only the other was yours. He brought up the theory, I have no clue if you’ve heard of it and would be more impressed if you hadn’t.

The Pope voted in multiple GOP primaries, he was pretty clearly a Republican leaning voter over the last two decades.
Color yourself impressed !

The 8 vote winning school board member I crossed party registration to vote into his position, later married, had children and eventually became President of the School Board.

I said just yesterday that I know people were impacted by the shot. I believe you, and am very sorry that happened. I hope we get more answers regarding the ingredients and impact of the shot in the near future.

The 2 schools I attended from 5 th thru 12 th grade were both schools for children in abnormal living issues ! Parental divorces, one or both parental alcoholism, physical or mental abuse, economic issues.

Both were supported financially by Protestant Churches.

50 years later kids, now adults would call my Mother, "Mom" when meeting her.

Schumer is fighting for his political life AND leadership. His newly issued book had it's signing tour cancelled and he will most likely retire soon.

From a Jewish unknown, receiving political campaign cash from Trump, to a multi-millionaire, that doesn't know how to grill cheeseburgers on a grill !

$$ starting to add up !

A Billion or a few Billions in taxpayer funds.

It is said that IF political fraud AND graft can be eliminated, that the IRS will only need to tax persons of over $ 500,000 income to fund the governmant.

Another Obama war ended. Meanwhile Mike complains about to date one of the most effective military operations in world history on all fronts.

What a racist dummkopf! Chicagoans must be proud of their vote.


My Dad and the other lifeguards at the Jersey shore beach were ahead of the times in the 1950's !

Tanning with Johnson's Baby Oil with some drops of iodine mixed in and then applied liberally while sitting in the Lifeguard stands would "tan" them pink and then various shades of red !

Whodathunkit? The Texas Rangers have a statue of a…wait for it…a Texas Ranger and this NYT/Athletic “reporter” calls it controversial. Straight jacket material.


Kitties fighting from being made into Somalian soup !

Anyone know why trying to add "likes" to individual posts sometimes allow only a thumbs up ?

This seems like one of those "Senior" moments where we call over for Matt to fix our remote so the tv works ! He always smirks and pushes a button or enters a code, that takes him less than 10 seconds !

I admit I am clueless, but Mary Anne might sit in her chair for hours, not willing to admit her "wrong generation Ness",

Must hover over "Like" (also known as the "Laugh" button for polyname) button to get options.

Don't be sorry, I chose to take the jabs.

Lets put pressure on people that received Presidential Pardons by auto-pen by someone in full dementia. PROSECUTE THEM.
