Dip level precised, see and si and mam ma'am. Last year's outside-faucet tape fell off only a week or two ago, we man. We also have hoses that will NOT come off of both spigots, we man. We will wrap warshcloths under plastic bags under tape, hope for best we man. Fortunately, attic pipes were all covered with foam sleeves a couple of years ago, prepared we man. Casa heat also escapes into the attic, warm up there by all reports man. Our biggest thing will probably be Mama T-B. going constantly aysheep over our whereabouts, man.

LPoP and unread, no see we man. We should add that EVERY time we've gone on an eat-nutting binge, our cholesterol has been hosed, and markedly so, sigh man.

Wonderful news. Be sure to report your oath experiences.

If true, great (and fitting). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eric Swalwell Could Be Ineligible for Governor or Face Jail Time Eric Swalwell's political ambitions just hit a major snag. Swalwell, most famous for public flatulence and bedding a Chinese spy, wants to be the next governor of California, but he is now the target of a court challenge that could blow his entire gubernatorial campaign out of the water before it even gets started. The accusation? He doesn't actually live in the state he wants to govern. Conservative activist and filmmaker Joel Gilbert dropped a legal bomb on January 8, filing a petition in Sacramento Superior Court arguing that Swalwell is constitutionally barred from seeking the governor's office. Gilbert has a strong case. [...] https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/01/19/eric-swalwell-could-be-ineligible-for-governor-or-face-jail-time-n4948473

This is revealing, and frightening. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How radical Islamists and the far left united to 'fight America everywhere and all the time' Ismail Selim Elbarasse, an accountant by training, seemed to be living a quiet life in Annandale, Virginia. But in 2004, when police officers noticed him driving with his wife across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and filming its critical structural elements, they decided to act, then detained him and notified federal agents. He was already a suspect in a scheme to provide funding to Islamist terrorist groups, and now agents were searching through his home for further evidence of his possible involvement. They discovered far more than a terrorism funding scheme. Buried among the stacks of paperwork in his home was a document written in Arabic titled "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," written by a US-based Islamist leader from the Muslim Brotherhood. The strategic goals memo specifically addressed the "Civilization-Jihadist Process" for using migration as a weapon of subversion. Members "must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated, and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." The Muslim Brotherhood specifically and Islamists in general have long viewed immigration as a weapon to deploy against the West.

Democrats Say Things Would Be Much Safer If Law Enforcement Would Just Stop Trying To Enforce The Law WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following recent ICE-related shootings, Democrat leaders stepped forward to remind the nation that everything would be much safer if law enforcement would just stop enforcing the law. According to Democrat lawmakers, the recent spate of violence and rioting could all have been avoided if law enforcement agents had just avoided conflict and sought peaceful resolutions by not preventing criminals from continuing to break the law. "Clearly, the problem here is the enforcement of laws," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters.

Democrats Demand To Know Why ICE Agents Can't Just Shoot Cars In The Leg MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Democrats took to social media following the deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis to demand to know why the agents can't just shoot cars in the legs to de-escalate situations. In the wake of the shooting of a protester, Democrats renewed their calls for law enforcement officers to wound criminals instead of shooting to kill when confronted with split-second life-or-death decisions. "I know exactly what I would do in that situation," Democrat Dan Sands wrote on social media platform X.

Maduro Now Polling As Most Popular Democrat [...] A poll of likely Democratic voters taken in the first week of January 2026 showed a dramatic shift in support from other popular candidates to Maduro, now that he has been relieved of his position as leader of the Venezuelan government and arrived in the United States. "The voters obviously love him," said one pollster. "Honestly, it shouldn't surprise anyone. He has everything Democrats want in a politician: suppression of freedom, unbridled corruption, and straight-up socialism. Now that he's residing in the U.S., he's a shoo-in for the nomination. There's already a campaign office set up for him, and ‘Maduro 2028' signs are being printed as we speak." [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/maduro-now-polling-as-most-popular-democrat

Thrilling Sunday-on-Monday report, see man: No siesta all day on a Sunday, man. We had just swung our carcass from bed when Mama T-B. called, voicemail it we man. She called Many (2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2) -- MORE times, voicemail all we man. It took nearly half an hour to de-voicemail all those, man. In 2 of them, she said, "Don't call us, no man -- COME, si man," si and no man. We unwillingly prepped our carcass to visit, si man. Then ex-Mrs.-T-B. called, call ex-she man we man man. "Why don't you call your mom, huh man? She's worried that you're dead, si man," man. We texted Mama T-B., see man: "Coming now, si man. Do not call, no man," si and no man. Our blood pressure was not to be measured at this point, no man. We arrived, and Mama T-B. aysheeped at us, see man: "Why didn't you call, huh man?", si man. We said nothing, still seething we man man. We caddied her weekly pills and did her other stuff with minimal comment, si man. Feeder-lady arrived with lunch, si man. Mama T-B. said to give her the fruit and give lunch to us*, si man. *in direct contradiction to voicemailed orders to us NOT to arrive during lunch, man. Lunch was hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, and sliced carrots, ingest we man. Visit lasted almost an hour, short man. Mama T-B. said to call her even if she tells us not to, man. Mini-B. was up when we returned, minor miracle man. For lunch, Mini-B. consumed RTG, ingest wee man. He then helped us change 2 beds, minor miracle man. NFL game was watched, watch and lament result Two Guys man. Beyond all hope, Many (2+2+1) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

We used new gas dryer for our Many (2+1) LLs, inaugural use man. It's a real regression, return to Neolithic Era man. Old electric dryer let us decide when a load was "just dry" with a continuous timer, si man. New dryer forces intervention (extra cycles, checking, tweaking) because it removed that control, sigh man. Calling this "efficiency" is mostly about energy compliance and liability, not better outcomes, si and no man. So, no man — this is not technological progress for the user, no man. It's progress for regulators, manufacturers, and energy metrics, at the expense of predictability and autonomy, si and sigh and man. Din-din was scoop-cheaps (Aldi) and salsa (Costco), ingest we man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Monday plans include probable return of "new" electric dryer, hi and bye man. We must dish the warsher, too exhausted today man.

It was Many degrees, si and see and by your own admission man. Sounds like you two need to be ensconced in an orchid greenhouse or somewhere, si man.

Sunday! Time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== PEDRO THE QUOTE MASTER It was the first day of school and a new student, Pedro, the son of a Mexican telecom tycoon, entered the fourth grade. The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death?'" She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Pedro, who had his hand up. "Patrick Henry, 1775." "Very good! Now, who said "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth'?" Again, no response except from Pedro: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863," said Pedro. The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Pedro, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do. She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans." "Who said that?" she demanded. Pedro put his hand up. "Jim Bowie, 1836." At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke." The teacher glared and asked, "All right! Now, who said that?" Pedro said, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991." Now furious, another student yelled, "Oh, yeah? Suck this!" Pedro jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouting to the teacher, "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinski, 1997!" Now, with almost a mob hysteria, someone said, "You little brat. If you say anything else, I'll kill you." Pedro frantically yelled at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001." The teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around her on the floor, someone said, "Oh, poop -- we're in BIG trouble now!" Pedro whispered, "Saddam Hussein, 2003."

We chased them on foot for miles, fruitlessly man. We reported this to Mama T-B. and she went Many,000% aysheep at us, sigh man. Not only that, but Uncle T-B. voicemailed us during said siesta, never fails man. At Many (2+2+2) p.m., ex-Mrs.-T-B. showed up again, reappear ex-she man man. We'd left it up to Mini-B. to pick a birthday restaurant, discretionary wee man man. He wanted to watch an NBA game, televised man. He therefore wanted us to retrieve a 'za and ingest it at the casa, well OK man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. drove us to the 'za emporium, si man.
