- Our fearless leader’s intro to yesterday’s thread: Cracks me up how FOX et al focus on big city crime but ignore that highest statewide crime rates are in red states. Nine of top 10 states for crime are run by Republicans — WIKI

Only time Republicans give a damn about big cities is when they can demagogue their crime rate.
So apparently today is both Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day
Also Columbo Day on Sundance.
Tommy Potatotown exemplifying stereotypes while exploiting them, what an electorate
Poobah, what an ironic juxtaposition of holidays.

Speaking of powerful drugs, football is a mighty powerful drug.
Pogo… thanks for that Ms. Petri… she’s great!
Of course republicans don’t care about the crime rate of red states. I mean… this is the party that’s trying to tell us that Herschel Walker can’t remember stuff and isn’t a good parent because of concussions… yet… they think he’ll make a fine Senator. Putzes!
It should have been Queen Isabella’s Day She hocked her jewels to pay for the trip
Love the cartoons Pat, particularly the 2nd one.
Sturg, right you are. Glad football is a legal drug. SC served up an overdose to KY Saturday and TX A&M almost did the same to Bama..
Renee, Herschel finally figured out who accused him – the mother of his fourth abandoned child.

Via NPR’s 1-A –
AARP poll of 900 women over 50 .
These voters have a lot of ballot horsepower.
Their #1 issue ………………… Social Security / Medicare.
The “new” General Putin picked to lead his war, ran the bombing campaign in Syria . Killing children is his “style”.
This guy was Texas Tech ‘s head coach, he was fired because he’s a loser. So he got a job as a Senator from Alabama.

Indigenous stories from the end of the last Ice Age could be more than myth.

Putin’s response to recent events. Indiscriminately bombing the entire country of Ukraine. Sore loser.
During the last ice age, he says, the sudden melting of ice sheets induced catastrophic events known as meltwater pulses, which caused sudden and extreme sea-level rise. Along some coastlines in Europe, the ocean may have risen as much as 10 meters in just 200 years. At such a pace, it would have been noticeable to people across just a few human generations.
That’s 39 feet in 200 years .
I find it amazing that women , and girls are a threat to a bunch of bitter old men in Iran. You shoot a woman , you piss off the men who love her.
Like Russia , the old men in Iran are clueless , and in deep doo doo .
The world is really rolling over now , and picking up speed.
The founding father of Russia was “Ivan the Terrible” .
The women of the world are watching Iran , this is a very big deal.
Burning your bra, was a stunt , burning your veil is a whole other level.

Greg Abbott was a no show tonight.
He is afraid of engaging voters; that’s why there was nobody in the venue last week.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/10/politics/fact-check-trump-documents-george-hw-bush-bowling-chinese-clinton/index.html
“Trump said, “George H.W. Bush took millions of documents to a former bowling alley and a former Chinese restaurant; where they combined them. So they’re in a bowling alley slash Chinese restaurant.” Trump added, “A Chinese restaurant and a bowling alley. With no security and a broken front door.”
“Trump also claimed that “Bill Clinton took millions of documents from the White House to a former car dealership in Arkansas” and that “George W. Bush stored 68 million pages in a warehouse in Texas.”
“Facts First: All of these Trump claims are false.”
Also, those documents weren’t classified.
Every rocket the Russians shoot to strike fear , is one less to hit the Ukraine Army .
These men have no idea of the human heart.
And they are running out of “chip ammo” .
The entire Russian myth , is dead as a boot.
As for nukes , we tell Putin …………………. We know where you are , we’ll put one right down your throat.

Nite all ……………
I rode the empty train on the ole’ Santa Fe, out of San Berdo. Flat broke .
Breakfast at Clovis 2 days later on a pile of ties . Watching the RR put my train together to Lubbock.
Covered in diesel soot.
None of you ever did that.
I water skied under a helicopter.
I when West and saw the elephant , I slammed steel .
I picked , my teeth cap wire. I loved the Mormon girls .
I gave away everything I learned.
Wealth is not gold , it’s what we learn and pass along , that is our pile of riches .
Wisdom is not a bolt out of the blue sitting under a tree , it is the result of ten thousand bloody noses.
Wisdom flies on many wings , not just type face on some small bookless beach.
No roof , 2 couples , 2 drunk waiters , and a one armed Go-Go dancer. And a fight broke out.
