Friday ES report, see man: We attended one of the 2 itineraried ESs, see reasoning below man. We got started at noon, delayed by phone calls man. First ES fruitful, see the take man: -- U.S./Europe power-convertor, Many-language translation tablet, pocket-sized magnifier = $Many ($2x2x2 +2), deal if all work man Total = $Many ($2x2x2 +2) GPS toward rather far-away #2 ES took us by favorite small thrift shop, stop we man. It was part of errands anyway for donation, generous we man. Went into store to look for Mini-B. clothes, none to buy man. On whiteboard was "End Tables, Many% off," half% + half-of-half% off man. We saw a marble-top table for $Many00, discount off that man. We got it as follows with tax, see man: -- marble-top end table = $Many ($[2 Manyzen] +2+1), steal man Total = $Many ($[2 Manyzen] +2+1) We considered The Take to have been acceptable, no need to hit #2 ES man. Furthermore, we had more errands and wanted time to siesta, priorities man. (Completed other errands in time for decent siesta, zzz we man.) We were pleased with The Take, acceptable man.

Most of whom need to be replaced after varying durations, si and whee and then man.

Touching: Kamala Announces Plan To Hang 'Joy' Sign Above Bread Lines WASHINGTON, D.C. — Beloved presidential candidate Kamala Harris recently unveiled a touching new plan to hang a sign reading "Joy" over every bread line in America if she is elected president. According to her speech, the sign would help encourage Americans who will be forced to wait in miles-long bread lines for a small government handout of watery soup and gluten-free bread. Several journalists have already embraced Kamala's plan, pointing out the morale boost it will offer the American people. "It's brilliant, actually," said Jim Acosta, a reporter for CNN.

Can you imagine?! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Latest Biden-Harris Betrayal of Israel Will Make Your Blood Run Cold [...] the American delegation, if the Kuwaiti report is correct, did not go to Tehran to demonstrate America's strength; rather, it went there in order to show America's weakness. The delegation was intent not on warning Iran not to attack Israel, but to insist that America hadn't had anything to do with the killings of Haniyeh and Shukr, for those nasty Israelis had not taken them into their confidence. Even worse, these cowardly appeasers reportedly went to the Iranians bearing gifts. Fakhravar states: "The detailed report stated that the American delegation, arriving on a private plane from Turkey, landed at Payam-e-Khorram Airport in Karaj on Thursday and held a two-hour meeting with Iranian officials before returning to Ankara." At this meeting, the greatest betrayal of all was consummated: "the delegation presented a list containing the names of ten Mossad agents inside Iran, whom the Americans believe were involved in the assassination, directly or indirectly." To put this into perspective, recall [...] https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2024/08/14/the-biden-harris-regimes-latest-betrayal-of-israel-will-make-your-blood-run-cold-n4931652

Thanks to the Bidementia/Kommie regime. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Financial pressures on American consumers continue to rise It is the untold story of how inflation affects America's households: credit card debt. When hikes in basic food, clothing, energy, utility, and insurance costs started to hit families three years ago, many families who lived paycheck to paycheck across the United States had to make a decision: "Go without" or go into debt to take care of their basic needs. To put this in perspective: A whopping 65% of respondents indicated that they live paycheck to paycheck, according to a recent "Your Money International Financial Security Survey" by CNBC and SurveyMonkey, which polled 498 U.S. adults.
