2. meanwhile it’s Labor Day and i found a tune to celebrate a reason for it and a motivation come climate changes.  actually it’s a hymn that started out as a poem by one anne louise walker. “It is said that the inspiration for this hymn were the short summers in the United Kingdom that necessitated that you work in haste before the weather changed and one could not work anymore.”  i always envision a salvation army group singing it and banging a big bass drum in emphasis of the word “work”

   1 Work, for the night is coming:
   Work through the morning hours;
   Work while the dew is sparkling:
   Work mid springing flowers;
   Work when the day grows brighter;
   Work in the glowing sun;
   Work, for the night is coming,
   When man’s work is done.

   2 Work, for the night is coming:
   Work through the sunny noon;
   Fill brightest hours with labor:
   Rest comes sure and soon.
   Give every flying minute
   Something to keep in store;
   Work, for the night is coming,
   When man works no more

   3 Work, for the night is coming,
   Under the sunset skies;
   While their bright tints are glowing,
   Work, for daylight flies.
   Work till the last beam fadeth,
   Fadeth to shine no more;
   Work, while the night is darkening,
   When man’s work is o’er.

3. Biden Laid the Trap. Trump Walked Into It.

   At his Pennsylvania rally, the former president gave exactly the narcissistic display his Democratic nemesis tried to provoke.

6. CNN — 
   Rainfall in parts of northwest Georgia Sunday has been so heavy, CNN Weather estimates it is at least a one-in-200 year event.
   “Portions of Chattooga and Floyd counties have received 10-13 inches, with more rain coming. These amounts have resulted in catastrophic flash flooding and a Flash Flood Emergency continues in that area,” the National Weather Service office in Atlanta said Sunday.

9. Yep, Orange Adolf took the bait and showed everyone that “fascist” was the correct label for Biden to use; it did not need to be modified with “semi,” either. 
    

   Now, I have to figure out how to get outta this crazy state.

    LONDON — Liz Truss will become the next prime minister of Britain, taking over from Boris Johnson at a time of economic and political upheaval in the United Kingdom.
    She wasn’t the top choice of Conservative Party lawmakers, and a majority of Brits tell pollsters she will be a “poor” or “terrible” prime minister, but Truss was the favorite among the Tory activists who selected the leader of their party and Britain in a vote announced Monday.
    Truss, Britain’s foreign secretary, won the support of her party’s grass roots with promises of tax cuts and with her loyalty to Prime Minister Boris Johnson — who was booted from Downing Street by Conservative lawmakers but is already missed by rank-and-file party members.
    “Boris you got Brexit done, you crushed Jeremy Corbyn, you rolled out the vaccine and you stood up to Vladimir Putin. You are admired from Kyiv to Carlisle,” Truss said in her victory speech.
    Because this was not a general election, most of Britain was sitting on the sidelines while a “selectorate” of 172,437 dues-paying Conservative Party members — about 0.25 percent of the population — determined the country’s political future.
    Truss won with 81,326 votes, ahead of Sunak’s 60,399.
    According to a YouGov poll, 12 percent of the general public say Truss will be a good or great prime minister compared with 52 percent who say she will be poor or terrible.
    It’s hard to know what to expect because Truss, 47, is a shapeshifting politician. She was a centrist Liberal Democrat in her youth before joining the Conservative Party, she argued for abolishing the monarchy before affirming her support for it, and she voted for Britain to remain in the European Union before becoming a hardcore Brexiteer.
    As foreign secretary, she was a reliable NATO ally and Ukraine supporter, talking tough on Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin. She led the charge on sanctioning oligarchs — many who had been living the high life in London.
    […]
    Britain’s version of Inauguration Day will take place on Tuesday.
    Johnson and Truss will travel to Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where Queen Elizabeth II is staying.
    In a private audience, Johnson will bow to the queen and tender his resignation. Soon after, in a ceremony known as “kissing hands,” Truss will bow or curtsy and ask the queen for permission to form a new government.

12. Maybe just call it Unions Day

13. that would do

14. One of those little acts occurred this morning over in Afghanistan that seems to be of little interest in the Western World, but I am still not sure about that.  A bomber killed the Russian diplomat at the Russian embassy in Kabul.  Why the Russians is my first question?  Was this a response to the war in Ukraine? Is this a new terror attack against the Taliban?
     
    With those questions comes the big one – what effect will there be for EU and the U.S.?  I expect none, even if puttie goes off and blames the U.S. 
     
    It appears I am no longer having to deal with attacks, coincident with the end of the Microsoft mess up.  This is good.

15. Statement from Stella Parton:

    I want to thank Donald Trump for showing us just how fragile democracy is in America. I want to thank him for showing us how many weak minded Americans we have who believe any lie he puts out for them to consume. I want to thank him for showing us just how corrupt news outlets are and how they will say and do anything for ratings. I want to thank him for showing us what a sick and twisted country we are living in when we thought we were all caring, informed, and well intentioned. Thank you Mr. Trump for waking us all up. Now I’m “woke” finally!

16. The more the general public fearfully amps up the idea of civil war, the more apt the militia components are to be emboldened enough to actually attempt it. Most of them would be more than content to slip away and go back home to grill something out back. 
     The issue needs to be treated like what it is:  An Absurdity.

17. He’s out there totally screaming “civil war! civil war!” It’s not a dog whistle, He’s outright calling for it. It’s not a Call to Arms, it’s a fuckin joke.   What are we supposed to do, bend over and say, “Yes, OK mister nasty maga person, Kick me HERE!”   Eff every damn one of them and the New York City schmuck they rode in on.

    Cult leaders always seem to end badly.

18. Hi  KGC

    How have you been?

19. Tom Bonier — a Democratic strategist and CEO of TargetSmart, a data and polling firm — says a “Roe wave” of new women voters, fired up by the Supreme Court’s abortion decision, could swamp GOP hopes of a red wave in November’s midterms.

    “In my 28 years analyzing elections, I’ve never seen anything like what’s happened in the past two months in American politics: Women are registering to vote in numbers I’ve never witnessed,” Bonier writes in a New York Times op-ed

20. Special Master.  Surprised? Hades Nyt. Another unqualified “judge” from McConnel.  She is concerned that stinking pile of waste from a cow with intestinal diseases might get a “stigma” from people looking through all the thousands of documents he stole?  I hope her red hat bleeds when SFB thanks her.  He is already a criminal, the only thing he needs to complete his criminal life is sitting in a prison cell.

21. Judge grants Donald Trump’s request for special master, halts government review of seized Mar-a-Lago documents – ABC News

    “The Court hereby authorizes the appointment of a special master to review the seized property for personal items and documents and potentially privileged material subject to claims of attorney-client and/or executive privilege,” the federal judge said in her order Monday. “Furthermore, in natural conjunction with that appointment, and consistent with the value and sequence of special master procedures, the Court also temporarily enjoins the Government from reviewing and using the seized materials for investigative purposes pending completion of the special master’s review or further Court order.”
    Judge Cannon said that this appointment does not impede the ongoing classification review and national security assessments being conducted by the intelligence community.

    “The Government may continue to review and use the materials seized for purposes of intelligence classification and national security assessments,” Cannon said.

23. “In my 28 years analyzing elections, I’ve never seen anything like what’s happened in the past two months in American politics: Women are registering to vote in numbers I’ve never witnessed,”

    Looks like the 51% is about to grab the GOP by the balls , hearts and minds may not follow, but they’ll have their attention.

    “Thwaites is really holding on today by its fingernails, and we should expect to see big changes over small timescales in the future—even from one year to the next—once the glacier retreats beyond a shallow ridge in its bed,” said marine geophysicist and study co-author Robert Larter from the British Antarctic Survey.

    I love me some irony , the Thwaites is the size of Florida.

28. Uncle Joe looking good in Milwaukee. I always like it when he works the stage with a hand held mic interacting with crowd instead of stuck behind a podium

29. The last time the Russian Army  did this , things didn’t workout too good for the Czar. 

30. Who picks the  “Master” ? 

31. Joe in Milwaukee: “We beat Pharma this year. And it matters. We’re gonna change people’s lives.” He’s on fire today 

32. behind a podium
     
     
    I watched  some of that Trump  stuff  today .
    He’s really all in on that baby talk , sing song  rhythm. Looking for someone to kiss his “boo boo’s” . 
     

33. Biden on Maga Republicans: “Everybody is entitled to be an idiot” 

34. https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/05/business/ups-teamster-union-strike/index.html

    “Contract negotiations are set to begin in the spring between UPS and the Teamsters Union ahead of their current contract’s expiration at the end of July, 2023. Already, before the talks have even started, labor experts are predicting that the drivers and package handlers will go on strike.”

    “An estimated 6% of the nation’s gross domestic product is moved in UPS trucks every year.”

35. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-decision-special-master-fbi-search/index.html

    “…set a Friday deadline for Trump’s lawyers and Justice Department prosecutors to negotiate the special master’s “duties and limitations” and to submit a list of potential candidates to serve in the role.”

    “If the two sides don’t agree on the parameters for the soon-to-be appointed special master, they should explain their differences in a court filing. Their submissions are due on Friday.”

    “The FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence included the seizure of medical documents, accounting information and correspondence related to taxes…”

    “In other cases that have involved special masters, “the review can take several months,”

    Yep, it’s just a tactic to stall justice.

    Here’s hoping that a blue tsunami shuts down the fascists, while we’re waiting.

36. That  HIMAR  story was from CBS’s David Martin .
    3,  18 an 20 year old kids take a week to train on it. 
    The tactic is called ” Shoot and Skoot” .  Dash out of cover, , acquire the target, shoot,  lay down the  launcher , and book it back to cover. 
     
    Martin  filmed  a small woman in Eastern Washington state running one in a live fire  exercise.  Her combat gear  swallowed her up .  It was an iconic image  of an American woman. 
    I urge everyone to see the clip. 
    That video game  stuff is real . That “shoot and skoot” is right up their alley. 

37. Bad move  ………….
     
    “Everybody is entitled to be an idiot” 
     
    “Everybody is entitled to be  fooled” 
     
     
     

38. I like the attack , but his writers  need to pick their words.
     
    It’s one thing to be an idiot , it’s a whole other world to be “fooled”.  
     
    Idiot is a gift  from God, being fooled is buying a used car. 

39. That PM  in Britain  …..
    2021  , they spent  $34 Billion  on heat , lights .
     
    This year over $120 Billion . 
    Welcome to the buzz saw , you flip flop.
     

40. Meanwhile , OPEC has agreed to “small” production cuts. 
     
    It is time to take the world’s energy supplies away from the current  owners. In the 21 st century it is like water and air. 

41. Gas here is $2,97 .
    This is an Abbot  vote .  If Beto wins , we’ll go to $3.50 over night. 

42. My Labor Day  tune ………… 
    Haulin ass up the I-80  on an icy highway  to  fly on a helio , and jump out of the ship with a box of blasting caps. 
    And scaring the  shit  out of the wild life. 
     
    

43. Flying steel , and catching  it in the rotor  wash , you are really alive. I did it for 3 years.
    There are some jobs that give that.

    ” Life is a series of seemingly random events, most are designed to knock you on your ass. The meaning of life is all about how one gets back up. ”  
    Colorado Bob 
     
    I rewrote  the quote , closer to the heart  of the matter.

49. It’s crazy , I spent my  entire life alone .  i was always alone. I did not choose that path , it chose me. 

50. The hype is real- i finally watched the pro-independence, anti-colonialist, Hindi epic historical fantasy dramedy musical/dance action flick “RRR”, and it’s very entertaining (if you have 3hours and 7 minutes to burn)

    Yes, it explains why it’s called “RRR”, and it’s in Hindi with subtitles
