Now that he's solved Venezuela and Greenland, his current attention is on Cuba....

Cool story. Just learned about this a few days ago... Surprised it took to the mid '80s for someone to recognize and actually do something relatively simple. And the guy took no money for his idea. edit. I see the Journal story was paywalled. Here's another version https://www.autoweek.com/news/a69889877/gas-guage-little-arrow-inventor-has-passed-away/

I'm sure I'm in that database someplace...probably from that moratorium rally I observed in 1969 or "correcting" a conservative social studies teacher on Earth Day about the same time. Probably for a few of my posts here obviously.

And the Trumpian Band plays on...."Nearer our Orange god to thee"

Somewhere in the mid to late '60s early '70s the parties did a major beliefs switch. It was part of Nixon's "Southern Strategy" combined with backlash over Viet Nam. Johnson's Great Society and the Civil Rights Act turned Conservative Southern States against the Democratic Party. Nixon sealed the deal. When the walls came down with the Fairness Act, all hell broke loose. IMO

More Trump Regime TACO

When the "news" organization and Republican Party dissed Fred Rogers they lost me forever. Right now I believe Fox and the GOP owes me about $10 Billion for my suffering https://bsky.app/profile/sethcotlar.bsky.social/post/3md3ym75ts22l

Let me get this straight. Trump says he has a "framework of a future deal" with NATO over Greenland. Is that like the "concept of a plan" for healthcare. Everything he does is halfassed. I expect if he leaves office in 2029 the Grand Ballroom will not yet br completed. Leaving American citizens with another boatload of debt and a big hole in the ground.

Our biggest question mark is whether we are getting ice or snow. As of yesterday the various models are still all over the place. I would prefer snow. Either way I don't think I'm going anywhere this weekend.

There’s no credible evidence supporting this claim. Major outlets (AP, People, local CBS) confirm the tear-gas incident and hospitalizations. No verified reporting or court records link the mother in that case to a 2019 murder/robbery conviction, nor has any investigation found the story to be a hoax. This appears to be name-conflation and social-media speculation, not established fact. If you can find verified court records or mainstream reporting that contradicts this, please share them.

Try credible reporting for a change. No credible outlet has confirmed this was a hoax. AP and others report the kids were hospitalized after exposure to tear gas during federal operations. Claims they “lied for money” come from partisan sites, not verified investigations. If this was a proven hoax, there would be AP/Reuters reporting, police charges, or a GoFundMe fraud finding. None exist. Assertions without evidence aren’t facts

Learned about that during our trip this Fall. I knew about the explosion and was reminded about the hospitality to US travelers on 9/11. The Christmas Tree is really a big deal in that part of Nova Scotia. There is a big Festival around the selection and the cutting of the tree. The Canadians take pride in their heritage, both the good and the bad. Learned a bit about the expulsion of French Residents during the French and Indian War. Interestingly a lot made their way to Louisiana and are responsible for the Cajun culture

I often thought there was a conspiracy. I'd finish the driveway and 10 minutes later the county would come by and block the entrance. There are reports that we may get a lot of snow here this weekend. Something akin to some of the snowfalls in the mid to late 70s. Thankfully I have a small driveway, but for the first time in over 5 years I'm missing my snowblower

From Today's JVL feed... https://www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-davos-world-economic-forum-rant A couple of things caught my ire... Trump, who as far as I can tell has only read a book supposedly written by Hitler, according to his late wife. Does not know that the fledgling nation that later became the U-S was soundly defeated by the British and Canadians at the Battle of Quebec during the Revolutionary War. Until Trump the US/Canadian ties have been strong. Boston was one of the first cities to provide aid once word got out about the Halifax Explosion in 1919. Halifax graciously offered aid and hospitality to US aircraft following 9/11 Florida and US cities practically depend on Canadian Tourism during the winter months...

What you get when you elect a bully who employees bullies

This seems a bit drastic to me. Cut the pre season to 2 games, do an 18 game season, each team plays one game overseas.

I think we all have a couple. I have a brother in law who has never held a real job in over 50 years. Most of his "earnings" are "under the table". Yet he still rants about "freeloaders" Also a cousin who lost his job about 20 years ago as a pharmaceutical rep. Staunch Trumper to the point of being blocked by most of the family on social media. Still thinks kids need to have "common sense" beat into them by their parents

May be time to express my profound appreciation for Opus

Like all his "investments'.
