Kind Of A Big Deal
Roe to Go? Heck of a leak.
Good morning, everyone! Great Pieces, Clarice. Happy Birthday to you, Stephanie!

She's Running!
Back to the future with Sarah Palin.
We’ll tie me to an ant hill & slap my face with jelly! Number 2!!!
Back In Ukraine
Foreign Policy on "How Putin Bungled His Invasion of Ukraine". A much shorter article would focus on what Putin did right.
Good morning JOM!
Thanks for sharing the many informative links & pics. What a week it’s been! I keep saying just when I thought we’ve heard/seen it all… then along come another big Whammo!!! Is the LWW crud cruising for a nuke to be dropped on our soil?
Great Pieces, Clarice!
Have a great week & hugs to all of you!
Happy belated St. Patrick’s Day.

Great Pieces,
There isn’t anything more that Democrats in power could say or do that would actually shock us at this point, right?
Take care
Ready For Some Football
Shovel some snow, pop some Aleve, watch the Rams and Chiefs advance to the Super Bowl - Big Day planned.
Good Morning JOM! I’m in the middle of our very 1st official snow storm with a day off from work! Thanks for the many links! Some great articles & tips. I hope everyone is doing great considering…. Quick question about Witch Pelosi… how in hell can the Repubs subpoena her? Isn’t it a little way too little much too late? I hope we can make it through another 3 years of this madness…
Take care.
A Great Story
What will be the top "feel-good" stories of 2022? Nadia Popovic broke strong from the gate with this one: Kraken fan Nadia Popovici lauded for pointing out Canucks equipment manager Brian Hamilton’s cancerous mole during game Nadia Popovici hadn’t woken up yet when what she had done to save a li...
Merry Christmas, JOM!
Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas all! I just want to share my Christmas Earworm: the late, great Jim Croce's "I Got A Name", specifically "Like the pine trees linin' the windin' road I've got a name, I've got a name..." Pine tress typically have names? Who names their pine trees? And what is the name of the one ...
Happy belated Birthday, Clarice!
Hails And Fails
All Hail: The blazing-like-a-Tesla Biden jobs recovery! Total Fail: Effin' Chris Cuomo. All Hail: Omicron optimism backed by data so sketchy a stripper would blush. Ongoing Fail: Effin' Clinton Shakedown Foundation.
I want to wish each & every one of you at JOM a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Glad to hear Miss M is home & Jack soon to be home soon. Keep up the good fight & take care!
Safe Travels, Happy Holidays
Spring into action!
Impeachment. Oh bother.
Big Night In Virginia. And Houston.
We're rooting for the Republican upset and the Braves upset.
In the midst of the 10,001 media messages every day about Trump’s Collusion with Russia… wasn’t it Dachenko who was seen at Trump’s first speech/message before both parties standing right beside Pelosi, Schumer, et al? I just knew something had to be up with their garbage at the time.
Great Pieces, Clarice. As always, you hit another gem right out of the park.
I also had a horrible sense that Fiona was up to no good too, with all Dems kissing her arse during the impreachment hearings. I think she may have committed perjury. I’ll first have to check the C-Span archives to verify that but I hope she rots in the hell along with the rest of those scumbags.

Good morning JOM!
Go, Go, Sleepy Joe!
Let's give Joe Biden credit - he's got the trains running on time. They keep crashing into each other, but at least the train wrecks have a now-familiar script. Dems limp out of another stumble-ending month It's a nightmare on Capitol Hill for the president's party, as October passes by without ...
Good morning JOM
I guess it’s time to stock up on aspirin along with many other essentials, considering this disaster of an administration (if one can even call it) that.
Great Pieces as always, Clarice. I look forward to your thoughtful wisdom every Sunday morning right along with my mimosa I mean covfefe. ;-D it pains me to witness my young relatives contort themselves up in knots if I ask for updates on Biden’s latest.
Heard MissM took a spill but back home now. Take care MissM & heal well. I also heard that a new reunion is coming up! Great news! Look forward to hearing all about it with lots of pics! I’ll definitely be there in spirit & hope all of you have a blast. Have a good one!
The Emerging Democrat Debacle
Ezra Klein on David Shor and why the Dems face a looming disaster in the House and Senate. Writing in Politico, Ian Ward also covers the David Shor phenomenon. After describing the eternal Dem enthusiasm for youthful idealists, he notes this: At its most basic, Shor’s theory goes something like ...
Bingo!
Clash Of Titans
Brady v. Belichick! And by the time their Sunday night game begins MLB should have settled the AL wild card races and the NL West title.
Best of luck Jim.
Here We Go Again
Are you ready for some football? On the college side, a weary and divided nation once again wonders - can anyone beat Alabama?
Great pieces as always, Clarice.

Our thoughts & prayers go out to Rse & her family at this sad time. RIP, Mr. Rse.
When You Have To Deny It...
Probably not helpful: Justice Amy Coney Barrett argues Supreme Court isn't 'a bunch of partisan hacks'. LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In the wake of a controversial decision on abortion rights, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett told a crowd of more than 100 here that she doesn't believe the highe...
Good morning JOM! And a belated Happy Birthday to Miss Marple!
Gain Of Function, Loss Of Credibility
The Intercept has used the Freedom of Information Act to pry documents from the NIH. The topic is NIH grants to study bat viruses in a partnership of EcoHealth and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Some of the "news" is old since the grants were mentioned in already-published studies. But some de...
Good afternoon JOM. This is so terrible wrong… so wrong
Henri, it’s as if it’s been the plan all along. I say it’s all been been intentional. TBH what In hell did this administration expect could happen? Are they all insane? They are murderous reckless pigs! I am so sick to my stomach over what’s been taking place since this creep took office. It breaks my heart to see what’s been unfolding ever since.
Great Pieces Clarice! You rocked it again!
Marlene did you have to drive down through Henri? I was thinking of you on this trip south & I hope your dog feels better.
Take care
Should We Stay Or Should We Go Now?
Peter Baker of the NY Times ponders possible alternatives to the Biden/Trump framing of Afghanistan as a choice between full withdrawal or significant escalation. Sure, to (mis)quote a genius SecState, at this point what difference does it make? But this factoid suggests the unpopular stalemate ...
>>>I believe we can now officially call the Lightbringer His Assholiness.<<<
Hello Matt,
The nickname "His Assholiness" is perfect! :D
Meanwhile, Back In Afghanistan...
The US failure to create a stable national government in Afghanistan has been a slow train wreck coming. Some conservatives became restive under Early Obama, whose commitment and conviction to victory were, well, suspect. And what might victory have looked like? I was firmly in the camp that bel...
Good morning JOM
Just sat down to a hot cup of covfefe in time to see this latest from NBC news courtesy of lovely Miss M….
Can’t even move beyond cussing before 10am these days. I suppose with all the insanity taking place right before our eyes, it’s hard not to swear. May God help us all if we don’t reign in these idiots & pathetic fools. Thanks Miss M for everything.
Steph… love William Smith! I don’t have any links so thanks for posting him!
Have a good one everyone.
Stay safe but do raise a little hell while we’re able! LOL
