Sunday already? Time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================================= THINGS POSTED ON THE INTERNET THAT ARE FUNNIER THAN THEY SHOULD BE Men will turn 30 and still be like "I don't know what I want." I say, "You have 5 more years with hair, so please figure it out." A married man just complained to me about how hard dating is for him these days. Going to the gym consistently requires so much laundry. "Thanks for your payment." Shut up -- I paid that bill against my will. You ever think how peaceful it must be inside the brain of a stupid person? Just heard back from a job I applied for. They let me know that the job "does not come with a traditional salary." Instead, I need to "create a team of partners who are willing to support me financially as the source of funding." What kind of dystopian bull is this now? If you too have been a victim of the enpoopification of Google Docs autocorrect due to AI, you may be entitled to financial compensation. I just opened up a document that I lied about starting, and apparently I have to request access. My boss accidentally muted himself on this Zoom meeting 20 minutes ago and none of us have told him. "Adult Library Card." Why do they have to say it like this, like it's my official pervert credentials?

This is a powerful summation, worth a read. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The New York judge's non-legal, hyper-partisan ruling will only make Trump stronger One of the tricks of knowing when a leftist judge is pulling a fast one is if the decision is really, really long. Doing this, as W.S. Gilbert would have said, is intended to "lend an air of verisimilitude to an otherwise unconvincing narrative." In modern English: it hides the dishonesty. The fact that Judge Arthur Engoron, who repeatedly showed his partisan stripes, needed 92 pages to impose an almost $400 million hit-job judgment against Trump is just another phase in the Democrat establishment's war against America. This won’t harm Trump. It will only make him greater. Hiding behind the 92 pages of legal-sounding garbage are some simple facts.

NEW: Author Says Biden's Disgraceful Defiance of Responsibility for Afghanistan Debacle No 'Mistake' One of the biggest disasters of Joe Biden's time occupying the Oval Office has been the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle. That resulted in 13 American military members being killed, and over 1,000 Americans, along with thousands more Afghan allies who put their lives on the line to help us, being left behind, yet no one has been held accountable for any of the monumental failures, despite two federal reports that came out in 2023 ripping the Biden team and holding them at fault in the matter.

During East Palestine Trip, Biden Rambles on About Broiler Chickens, Ohio Universities, and Firefighters [...] I reported about the remarks that Biden made on Friday and how he was greeted by protesters that were not happy with him, with many saying it was too little, too late.

He spoke for about seven minutes after not visiting for more than a year.

Government Bureaucrats Could Use 'Kill Switch' to Stop People From Driving Because... Reasons A provision in the 2021 "infrastructure" spending package, as it turns out, includes a provision that directs the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to come up with a way to stop you from driving your car or truck if the government doesn't want you to. The measure is sold as a way to keep people from driving while impaired, but the implications are chilling.

Biden Administration botches Alaska highway plan so badly, it's now sending officials north to fix it The Biden Administration rejected Alaska's plan for road construction for the coming years and sent it back to the Department of Transportation, in what appears to be an attempt to hit at Gov. Mike Dunleavy and Alaska itself during an election year in which Biden already has a slim chance of winning the 49th state.
