Part of the problem here is that we are dealing with people who think that even though putting the dog down was justified, she should have taken the dog to the vet hand have had it put down humanely. (Yes, I actually heard that comment on Fox Business channel).


Think about that. Put a dog, fresh from killing livestock and biting humans (yes, you) in your vehicle and take them to the vet, where they will be around other animals, and have the vet give the dog a shot to calm it while they insert the shunt that will carry the lethal injection.

Uh....No. You want to be a hazard to other drivers trying to maintain control of a vicious animal while you are driving? Expose someone else to the risk of controlling the animal while you are driving? expose every owner or critter nearby at the vet's to a vicious animal, not to mention staff?

Or you can take care of the problem without involving others or middlemen, with a minimum of risk to anyone else.

Sorry, but I am disgusted with the poor level of Americans to sort this problem out and come to the most effective solution with a minimum of additional risk to anyone.

No wonder our country is such a mess.

Yeah, take Ol' Yeller (or Cujo) to the vet...

Some dogs, like some humans, just won't get along and behave.

Court resumes from morning break

Judge Merchan admonishes prosecutor and says that the level of detail Stormy Daniels has been going into is unnecessary.

He says when she returns, they should move it along more quickly.

Of course he did ---- they're proving she's a lowlife and Jeffrey Toobin just called begging for a rest ......

BREAKING: Bragg’s prosecutors questioning Daniels about her STD tests and preferred sex positions. What a sleazy, disgusting trial.

With this political persecution, we are witnessing the execution of due process and rule of law in real time by Biden and his acolytes.

What a tragedy — the damage being done to the justice system will take years to repair, and may be permanent.

The Marine Corps That Should Have Been
By Gary Anderson
May 04, 2024
 
Say what one wants about the Israeli incursion into Gaza, but not a single rocket or missile has been fired from what is left of it since the start of fighting. Compare this with the relative ineffectiveness of American efforts stop Yemen's Houthis from slinging missiles at shipping in the Red Sea. The difference is simply geography. The Israelis simply have to cross fencing and concrete barriers to directly confront their attackers, the Palestinians of Hamas.

If U.S. wanted to launch such a large scale punitive operation against the Houthis, it would have to be done from the sea with a large scale amphibious assault. An amphibious assault of this scale, requiring sea borne tanks, assault engineers and bridging capabilities that have been divested by the U.S. Marine Corps. Instead, the Marine Corps is building a defensive force built around anti-ship missiles designed primarily to contain the Chinese Navy.


This defensive force is a stark departure from former Marine Corps Commandant Al Gray’s vision to modernize the Marine Corps for future wars.

Back in the 1980s, General Gray had a vision for what he called Over the Horizon (OTH) operations using tilt rotor aircraft, long range helicopters, more capable long-range amphibious vehicles, and air cushioned landing craft. Gray realized that advanced defensive weapons would make traditional linear amphibious operations launched just offshore problematical, but OTH would enable landing in column in places that the enemy did not expect. Gray had the Marine Corps experiment with these capabilities. Throughout the nineties, numerous war games and field experiments took place to explore the physical and intellectual challenges. OTH gradually evolved into Operational Maneuver from the Sea (OMFTS) and a whole new philosophy of littoral campaigning.

Stormy Daniels recalls Donald Trump being on the bed in his boxers when she exited bathroom

Stormy Daniels recalls having to use the bathroom. She remembers washing her hands and touching up her lipstick and looking in a leather toiletry bag, ‘I did look, I’m not proud of it,' Daniels says.

Daniels remembers Old Spice and Pur Plus, which she thought was amusing. She also recalls gold tweezers.

She remembers coming out of the bathroom, and Trump being on the bed in boxer shorts and a t-shirt. She says she was startled at first.

She felt the room 'spun' in that moment.

‘Oh my god, what did I misread to get here?’ Daniels remembers thinking.

She recalls trying to step around and leave and thinking she put herself in a bad situation.

Daniels remembers Trump standing up but she insists it was ‘not in a threatening manner.’

‘I think I blacked out,’ Daniels said. She says she just does not remember, but she was not drunk or on drugs.

Stormy Daniels testifies she had sex with Donald Trump: 'Missionary position'
By Kyle Schnitzer

Stormy Daniels testified that she had sex with Donald Trump on a hotel bed.

Daniels said that they were having sex "in missionary position" before an objection was raised, and the judge sustained the objection.

Daniels testified that Trump wasn't wearing a condom, which she admitted was a concern.

Asked if the sexual encounter was brief, Daniels replied, "Yes."

Yes, many of the permits were started during Trump but not all.

There were numerous gas wells permits that were  not put together in my county until 2022/2023.

We own a  piece of property that is receiving gas royalties . The grid for this land  was first put together in mid  2022.  We were notified via certified mail at that time that a gas company was wanting to drill a  well under our grid. We ended up signing with Ascent.

The well permit was approved by our state  in Feb or March  2023.  3 years after trump.

Come on.... at least don't obfuscate your positions.  Big difference in permitting a well versus a manufacturing site. Most of those happen at the state regulatory level anyway. 

They installed a well right away and we started receiving royalty checks  October 2023.  That was when Ukraine was in full mode, NG was record high and were receiving $4000-4500 PER ACRE every month.  Some of that was due to NG prices and of course a new well produces a lot at first.  Now it is down  to on average $350-400 per month per acre.

Again...  thank your nasty dirty oil company (/s), and your state regulatory agencies which has jurisdicitonal control over individual wells.

You can nitpick all you want and that is all you have. My point is every conservative fear porn site said biden would destroy the fossil fuel industry. Just as Trump said not once but twice on Twitter and Truth Social and hundreds of times at rallys and such  that biden would destroy the stock market yet it is at record highs also.

I don't have enough time to give an ECON lesson on stupid market exuberance.  I have said many times that this market is at least 50% over sold.  The fact you don't realize that years of QE 1,2,3, etc.  And bogus infrastructure legislative initiatives are the only reason these markets are this high.  Deficit spending in a kick the can method is all that is keeping this house of cards upright.    Second, the slight perceived cooling of Biden's destructive path is slightly augmented by the point he wants to be re-elelcted.  If he wins, watch for a double strenght resumption of Biden's anti-FF policies.

Oil and gas companies are making record profits. The greatest in their history.

Bull shit.  Work the inflation adjusted numbers, and you will find that ROCE is pretty close cyclically to any other time that the price of oil is over say an arbitraty $60/bbl.  Then get back with me around how Big Tech has captialized itself propelled itself at least 5X of that of oil.  Befiore bitching about big oil profits, get back with me on those.

It would help if congress weren't so stupid in what they spend on other than the US Military.  Like border fences in other countries.  Spending billions on illegal "newcomers."  Financing wars in other countries.  Financing gay and trannie initiatives in other countries.  Running from other countries and leaving billions of dollars in equipment for our enemies. Etc., etc., etc.

I'm VERY glad to not be invested in the party paying you royalty checks as your above statement is a strong indictment of their production practices.
