Good grief, there are 25,000 live fans and 30,000 cardboard cutouts at the Super Bowl. God, save this country! Perhaps the NFL should have just aired two respective fans simulate the game on Madden Football and had a DJ spin records at halftime in lieu of The Weekend at Bernie's

Unity, my a$$! I have little words other than I have no use for such ungrateful trash https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-02-05/trumpite-neighbor-unity-capitol-attack?_amp=true&__twitter_impression=true

I don’t recognize each poster’s stamp or whatever it’s proper label is (except Iggy’s), but am I the only one that thought the following lead-in “So, a cleaning lady is on her way to do a deep scrub...” was from Granma Stephanie and was one of her jokes? I guess I was at least 1/2 right or right 1/2 of the time. Has Durham’s picture surfaced on a milk carton yet?

One last post and will return to my lurking. Recently, we saw the movie “News of the World” which I found enjoyable. In this movie, during post civil war days, the lead character is an educated man who travels from town to town to read the news to the willing public. Of course, he selects the news he finds may be of interest to the listeners. The infamous actor and millionth plus survivor, Tom Hanks is the lead. Interesting or perhaps ironic that with the recent purging of certain social media news sites and the tuning out of traditional news sources, this maybe the only way some of us get the news. But then again, we may be forced to the readings via the point of a gun to hear the news not of one’s choosing. To end, viewing the Saints game to see if Drew Brees changed the name on the back of his helmet to Ashli Babbit

“Spengler tries to straddle the fence and ends up as most such do; with a funny look on his face and barbed wire in his nutsack. Posted by: Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki | January 10, 2021 at 12:17 PM” Heh, Iggy, as so often your words have a way to provide “some Kodak” to borrow a line from A River runs though it. Please write a book! There are enough of us to make you a rich man, er maybe a hundredaire. Additionally, 1 I’d Turley = jamoke: As not a word I have used (to the best of my knowledge), I turned to DuckDuckGo. The first returned posting from Wordnik: coffee; stupid person, fool; and penis. I guess in this instance they all work.

I think MM’s 9:39 photo means: Be very, very quiet, we’re hunting wabbits er wats!

Finally caught up to the end of the thread. Actually, a couple. Felt like the brave at the end of a 10 mile long Indian run. Or is that now a “team” run? All I wanted to say before day is ended: Happy birthday, Clarice!

Today’s references to LBJ & 1964, lead directly to what I have been pondering recently. Trump should finish what he started and immediately declassify all remaining unreleased JFK assassination papers with no redactions. IMO, today’s election coup involves corrupt government agencies along with democrats of various forms and their high ranking supporters. Similar to today, I believe like forces were in play and involved in the assassination. Demonstrate to the American people that this level of corruption dates back more than 50 years ago to a time of perceived innocence. Prove to unassuming voters on the other side that their own beloved leader could be brought down at the hands of people they trusted or who they were told/brainwashed to trust. Convince them that something still remains rotten in Denmark. There a thousands of sleuths that will scour, digest and disseminate their findings as expeditiously as possible. I’m sure the Kraken won’t mind if Godzilla joins the fight.

Last I checked, Trump is still president. As such, the president should continue to do his work for the American people, govern and fulfill campaign promises. Foremost, start by advising Fauxi and Bric Brac, their services are no longer needed. As a result of this new direction and recognizing that the previous task force was not as successful as hoped for, proclaim the signing of an EO. This order would recognize and be based on the success of the Swedish government and the science and guidance of the Great Barrington Declaration. It’s issuance would be to protect the health and economic security of the citizens and businesses. As such state, local and municipal governments and businesses would be prohibited from enacting and enforcing impositions of shutdowns, limited occupancy, social distancing, mask mandates, etc. Non compliance will be met with significant fines. Any restrictions will only be issued by the order of the federal government. As Trump is this so called dictator, he won’t be doing anything out of the ordinary. If this liberal wet dream becomes a reality, Lid Bid-en will have 47 years of experience to deal with the unrest from the prospering open businesses and free citizens when he attempts to impose his draconian mandates. Just might light that civil war fire. But then again, aren’t EOs the same as laws now!

Jane, Very glad your surgery went well, the surgeries are over and you are not relegated to hours of laying face down. Wishing you the best results. Try not to lose the little green wrist band. Regarding a DNA test: I’ve never had one, but pretty certain it would show that I am 1/2 something and 1/2 something else.

Hey Chuckie and dems, It is time you learn to just Grin and Barrett!

Bravo Iggy! What thou worm of ear now resonate? Now your final act ...

In keeping with the Shakespeare banter and the PowerlineBlog using it as a verb, I’ll admit in my participation in various Zoom meetings, I have never, during such meetings, contemplated the famous bard’s proposition: Toobin or not Toobin, that is the question!

From Tom R.:”File this under unforeseen impacts from COVID 19 social distancing requirements. Today in Tuscaloosa the cover charge to get into bars for the Bama/Georgia game is $100-$150 dollars. It’s usually no more than $20 on game days.” Nah, Someone’s gotta cover the expensive costs of those Rona tests to get Coach Saban on the field. Didn’t he take like 50 of them? Sweet Home Alabama, Where the skies mmmmmmmmmm

I echo bubarooni’s 4:52 remarks: “It seems like a lot of personal things have happened with peeps on this blog the last two weeks. Best wishes to you all especially MM!” I’ve been contemplating getting the lamb’s blood for the lintel. I don’t know who started that on that night way back when, but it was priceless. MM, I for now will refer to this place as JOMmm or jomMM as the guitar man might phrase. This place is truly a newsroom, a chat room, a learning room, and an entertainment room. I almost feel should pay for admission. Nah, not really. Glad I found it as you folks really make it a joy to lurk.

Prayers for Miss M. The news will be a lot brighter tomorrow when provided via a Miss M post.

Lyle, HA! I’m honored, I’ll await to receive my major award at the JOM Trump victory party. Perhaps we can all wear our virus masks then use them to toast our victory marshmallows.

Lyle, September 30 10am EDT - Following a debate cut short the night before due to a coughing fit, the Biden Campaign announces a permanent lid on Joe in the leading role due to health reasons. Then taking the stage, Dr. Jill Biden announces that in recognition of the precedent set by the Biden’s good friends Senator Mel and his wife Senator Jean Carnahan, Dr. Jill will continue her husband’s campaign as the democrat candidate for president. As most ballots were prepared listing only J. Biden as the candidate, the campaign anticipates no voter casting confusion. ZZ Top’s hit “Legs” becomes the official campaign theme song. Joe, though technically not dead, becomes the 200,000,001st person not to have died due to the virus from China.

If passing through little Sargent, Nebraska, stop in at Mr Rudy’s Restaurant & Drinkery and enjoy your 1/2 price first drink: To our customers Due to disrespect shown towards our great country and the men and women that have sacrificed so much to defend and protect it, this establishment will no longer offer viewing of any NFL, NBA, MLB, NASCAR, or any related broadcasts. Customers who wear an American flag, your military apparel, or a visual show of your Patriotism into our establishment will receive your first drink 1/2 off. God Bless America #Trump2020 Mike Cosentino, owner. This was an update to his Facebook page that my wife shared and I am picture posting challenged, so no pic.

Or even some of us oldsters, birthday gal, ha! I really had a lot of other things on my mind during English way back when. Well, maybe not just English...

Happy birthday to the real Lovely Miss M! Things I wouldn’t know without the assistance of JOM and curiosity: Affect and Effect - two commonly confused homophones. Boy, if that ain’t going to add to befuddlement.

Congrats CH! If the wife and I ever get to 45, I’ll reminder her that while 50 is gold or golden, 45 is BBQ. Happy anniversary!

Maybe if the classroom buildings on campuses across America were burning, some people would wake up. And then again ... Oops.

https://jordanschachtel.substack.com/p/tales-from-americas-covid-college I love this university but if I knew when I was in high school that I'd be staying in my room all day, I would've never gone to any college.” “This is a horrible way to go to college. [Daughter] was in tears last night about the prospect of the mandatory immediate quarantine while waiting for the test, as she has heard from others that it was taking 27+ hours to get the tests back on the slow days. She is worried that she might be an asymptomatic case. What we are doing to this generation of kids is awful ... common sense has been missing from this debate for months.” Maybe if the classroom buildings on campuses across America some people would wake up. And then again ...

Jane, Great news on the eye, prayers the best news is yet to come. Lurkersusie, That is scary, best wishes on continued improvement and full health.
