Years ago, I responded to a wreck on the Interstate where a Nissan pickup had run over a retread that had just come off a semi.  It got wrapped up in his right front wheel, forcing him into a hard left turn at 65 MPH.  His Nissan rolled three or four times, totally destroying it, but he was basically uninjured.  He was sitting on a nearby guardrail when we arrived on scene, crying.  It was his first new vehicle and he had just bought it that morning.  The option/price sticker was stuck to the shattered glass that had been the window!

There have been a few TikTok videos lately that I can't find now.  Came across this.

The term "shell shock" comes to mind.

Kamala Harris is so finished that she is already being erased from memory.

A mural of Harris that was painted on the side of a building in Atlanta, Georgia has already been painted over. This confirms that despite all the hype from Democrats and media that Harris was another Obama, the hype was all completely manufactured.           C&P from the Gateway Pundit.    .....Hippy   

I would have done that job for FREE!

I grew up near Buffalo, NY.  Haven't been cold since I moved to Atlanta in 1985.  If you added up all the snow we have had here since 1985, it wouldn't make a decent storm back home!  I don't even own a snow shovel.  The last boots I had were turned back in at the Fire Department when I retired.

We ran the furnace a couple weeks ago to burn off all the dust in the system, on a day that we could open the windows and let the smell out.  It's an annual event.

Oh, by the way, since we’re on the subject I’ve also had two beetles and one bus. Yes, I have had a lot of cars in my day.

How many?  I'm currently on #42 and #44 right now.  A few were project vehicles, but most were daily drivers.

My car from 40 years ago. 

Is that a hole in the fender or a hole in the photo?

The truck is newer it looks. I would’ve guessed middle too late 50s.

The quad headlights came out in 1958 and that model was produced into 1970.

I bought two cars during 1979, a 1964 Chrysler New Yorker, with a 413 and a push button automatic and a 1972 Chevy Kingswood Estate wagon, fake wood sides and all.  My wife named the New Yorker "Oscar" and I paid $200 for it in Phenix City, AL (When I was stationed at Fort Benning, GA) and I drove it to Fort hood, TX when I got transferred there a couple months later.  That fall, I bought the wagon, after the 413 started started using more oil than gas.  I gave $675 for the Chevy and drove it for about 6 or 7 months when the transmission started slipping and I sold it for $350.  I have no pics of either one, 'cause I never had a camera until Christmas, 1980.

I will cripple you.

These people today don't know what a strike is. When my men hit the streets, from Maine to Texas, every single port will lock down... Everything in the United States comes on a ship.

First week, be all over the news every night, boom, boom. Second week, guys who sell cars can't sell cars because cars ain't coming in off the ships, they get laid off. Third week, malls start closing down, they can't get goods from China, they can't sell clothes.

Construction workers get laid off because the materials aren't coming in. The steel's not coming in. The lumber's not coming in. They lose their jobs. Everybody's hating the longshoremen now because now they realize how important our jobs are.

Harold Dagget - International Longshoremen's Association's chief negotiator

Not everything in the US comes on a ship.  Not all cars come off a ship and the two I have will outlast his silly strike.  So will the clothes I already have.  Most of the malls have been closed for years.  Construction delays will not make much difference in my life, I have not purchased steel nor lumber in many years.  Sounds like a blowhard to me.  Maybe he'll hold his breath until he gets his way!

The sad news is that the White House really has very little power. The FBI is no longer under the executive branch. The Executive (White House especially) is a figure head. Whoever ends up sitting in the oval office signing things and giving speeches for four years has their hands tied and answers to people we have never even heard of. If this person is in lockstep with the Intel hydra, then the FBI/CIA works with them (like Bush or Obama) If not, they hog tie the President like Trump, Ford or Carter. If voting actually meant the people could choose someone that could run the country the way the citizens wanted it to run, they would not let us have elections. Local elections are kind of important. You have to carefully choose county commissioners and prosecutors and judges. But don't you ever wonder why federal judges and intel people are appointed and serve for life? The FBI/CIA/NSA are more powerful than any entity on the planet. You see them just flip congress or the white house the bird when they demand something with regards to oversight or that recent assassination attempt. Nobody controls them. And they manipulate the court system and the media. And Garland had the f*******ng nerve to make his little speech the other day about how wrong it is to call out the FBI and DOJ for being so weaponized!   They are the government.

And WE, The People, ARE the Militia!  "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants"! (Thomas Jefferson)

I just watched CBS news, and the last story was a heart string story about Hatians in Springfield Ohio..  and of course quoted Mr. Trump, about eating dog's..  I work with a guy who has an uncle that does mission work in Haiti..  He said that in the street markets, Dog's are being cooked on 'spits'.

      Its amazing how fast the Lib news can move on creating a story, less than a day later, to try to show Mr. Trump as a crazy person..  anyway...  I aint gonna lie,,,  I am trully nervous about Nov. 5th...  I dont trust the Lib's ...  they are crazy and they cheat !!

Years ago, while I was working as a FF/EMT, there was a street in the city that had 4 apartment complexes, two on each side of the street, that housed hundreds of folks from a specific Southeast Asian country.  Just past them, just before the dead end of the street, was one house that had been turned into a kennel.  We called it "The Puppy Farm".  In addition, the city's animal control officer never had any strays to pick up.  I have no doubt that there is truth in Trump's story!

Bob, my answer to unwanted visitors, was a remote control driveway gate.  I made it myself out of Lowe's chain link fence parts from the garden center.. It is NOT pretty, but it has been drawing a line for 8 years now. I have an electric gate operator that works just fine..  If I happen to se the God Squad ( nothing against Christians),,park on my street, I watch them walk up and down my road to see how to get to my door bell..  It's funny..  I have 400 + feet of frontage all fenced in..  

I just had the wife answer the door wearing nothing but a 14" strap-on.  They've never been back!
