Except from human blondes, when we go slummin'.

Congratulations!

We humored her (an inferior primate) from day one. Regardless, she was OK, and we'll miss playing with her mind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remembering Jane Goodall Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, UN Messenger of Peace and world-renowned ethologist, conservationist, and humanitarian, has died at the age of 91 of natural causes. Dr. Jane was known around the world for her 65-year study of wild chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania. However, in the latter part of her life she expanded her focus and became a global advocate for human rights, animal welfare, species and environmental protection, and many other crucial issues. Jane was passionate about empowering young people to become involved in conservation and humanitarian projects and she led many educational initiatives focused on both wild and captive chimpanzees.

Outrageous, but not surprising. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Report Reveals Joe Biden Needed Cheat Sheets to Recognize Top Democrats Joe Biden's cognitive struggles during his presidency weren't just visible in his frequent stumbles and gaffes. Fox News Digital obtained five "palm cards" through a National Archives investigation into autopen use, and these cards reveal something far more concerning: Biden apparently needed cheat sheets just to remember high-profile Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer were, complete with their job titles. These weren't your typical talking points either. We're talking about hand-sized note cards that literally showed photos of people Biden should have known without thinking twice. For example, these "palm cards" featured pictures and mini-biographies of Hillary Clinton, who served as Secretary of State during the Obama-Biden administration, along with Denzel Washington, chef José Andrés, and philanthropist David Rubenstein. Four of the five cards came stamped with "PRESIDENT HAS SEEN," suggesting that someone made sure Biden actually looked at them beforehand.

Good Matt Taibbi article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Not Only Tulsi: Three Members of Congress Also Spied On In Quiet Skies Program Ahead of Tuesday hearings on the subject, the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) obtained documents showing three members of Congress, all Republicans, were followed under the TSA's just-discontinued Quiet Skies program, which became infamous last summer when whistleblowers revealed bomb-sniffing dogs and Air Marshals were assigned to follow former Hawaii Congresswoman and future National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard. The members' names have not yet been publicly released, but they were turned over to the Committee by the Department of Homeland Security, along with "TSA" notes explaining how they ended up on the list. Two of the three members made it onto the list before being elected, but as the Committee notes, "a cursory review would have revealed them to be a member of Congress, or a decorated U.S. veteran or service member."

The OP hasn't logged on to VJ in 3 years, and this old thread is now locked. The most recent poster is welcome to start a new thread.

Too bad the first officer's name wasn't "Gallup."

This author, usually more restrained, is really steamed here! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Race-Hustling Illegal Running Des Moines Schools Indicts The Entire System [...] In 2022, Roberts explained away previous illegal weapon possession charges by alleging the charges were racially motivated: "I may not appear to be the 'type of man' who would enjoy deer season in Pennsylvania, in fact, I am and have been hunting for more than 20 years," he wrote of the incident, according to CNN. That's also essentially how he obtained a "doctorate in education leadership," with a "dissertation" that involved interviewing 15 non-white people about "culturally responsive inclusion" through an online questionnaire. If the feds' facts are accurate, Roberts is a highly successful career con man. Public documents show he made many outrageous and contradictory claims about his history that should have prompted due diligence from numerous U.S. education employers, including that he worked on a security detail for Queen Elizabeth. In just the last five years, Roberts bilked American taxpayers out of more than $1 million in superintendents' salaries plus $400,000 to settle three lawsuits accusing him of hiring women over men while leading a Pennsylvania school system. That district could not verify his credentials but still paid him $183,000 per year, plus benefits, for three years.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man: Despite HSM, got exactly 2 hours + half an hour of zzz, awaken we man even before Bro G.'s Walmarting time man. Collected Subway coupons from weekly rainwater newspapers on the street, boon man. Tried to siesta, utter failure man. Visited Mama T-B. for "a few minutes," over an hour man. She's irked because the loser help can't remake her bed without mixing up her sheet sets, senior she man. We had to take an entire inventory of all of her linens & towels, man. Breakfast/lunch/din-din (after Many p.m.) was TG, ingest we man. An acceptable siesta was then taken, finally man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Must chauffeur Uncle T-B. to doctor on Wednesday, routine caucus man. Still must do admin stuff for Mama T-B., insistent senior she man man. And that was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report we man.

You met some winners of the Darwin Award, si Y ma'am. Pay them no further mind, no Y ma'am. We stay at home only if all Many (2+2+2) rubias can't go out, si man. We also get tired of interacting with so many inferior primates, need poo flung at them man.

They should have, even if they hired an Executive Search outfit to fill their Superintendent vacancy. If so, that firm's name is mud and their hindquarters is grass, certainly in public-relations terms and perhaps also legally.

The news video pertained to Chicago, not Minneapolis. The written story identified the status of only one as a visa-waiver overstay, but not the others. It would be enlightening to know how many of those apprehended were overstays, how many entered without inspection (and when), etc.

I think that she was merely bored -- maybe the novela was boring that day. Another digression: During the dreaded first trimester of pregnancy, Mrs. T-B. & I were lying in bed. She turned to me with mad blood in her eye and snarled, "I want MANGOES! VERY hard, and VERY green!" I beat it over to the supermarket (it was 11:40 p.m.), carefully selected two hard, green mangoes, and returned in haste with them. I burst into the bedroom to show them off and instead heard "SNORKZZZZZZZZZ" (snoring).

Condolences for your loss. What awful timing in regard to the GC's expiration, but at least you have a path forward. Keep us closely apprised.

Thanks for the current update. What a hassle, but keep the faith.

New Report Indicates Only 3 People In Jan 6 Crowd Were Not FBI Agents WASHINGTON, D.C. — According to a new report, only three people in the crowd at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, were not FBI agents. The FBI allegedly confirmed to Congress that, on the date of the protest that evolved into a riot, the enormous mob of plainclothes federal agents who stormed the Capitol Building was infiltrated by three MAGA voters. Those individuals were identified as Lectern Guy, Buffalo Hat Guy, and "the black guy from The Babylon Bee videos." Sources confirmed that everyone else involved in the incident was a federal agent.

Hamas Calls On Democrats To Tone Down Violence GAZA — Amid recent explosions of left-wing terrorism around the country, Hamas issued a rare public statement this morning to ask Democrats to please tone down the violence a little bit. "Please, it's too much. You're all making us look bad," said Hamas spokesterrorist Muhammed Muhammed al-Muhammed. "If this keeps up, our esteemed terrorist organization will lose its reputation as the most violent and feared organization in the world."

Regarding this clown: Did he ever vote in a national election, how often, and what party did he claim (one guess). Does he have a driver's license in any state and any infractions or accidents? How did he get paid without documents? Does he have an SSN, and did he commit identity fraud to get it? If so, whose identity did he steal, and did he affect that person's life by stealing it? Does he have a legitimate teaching license in every state he worked in? Do any of those states check references? This guy has been circulating all over for many years. In all these locations, did no one do a background check? The gun charge seems to be on record, so how do you get a teaching certificate/job with that on your record?

The thick plottens. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ YIKES! Dem-Hired Illegal Superintendent Was Pushing for Something MORE Than Reading, Writing, and Math Turns out Ian Roberts, the illegal immigrant superintendent of Iowa's largest school district, wasn't just running classrooms—he was pushing a wild policy to let people with criminal records waltz right into them, all under the noble guise of 'diversifying staff.' This bombshell reveals Roberts, who's been slapped with a deportation order from the Biden administration back in May 2024, was playing fast and loose with the rules while preaching inclusivity.

Not oil or cars, but... Early in our marriage, I returned home one eve to find that Mrs. T-B. had pulled a toilet and replaced the hosed wax ring beneath it. She needed my help only to re-lift the toilet to position it back over the floor bolts. The new wax ring endured just fine for quite a long time.

A brief example of James Comey's dishonesty This is not the place to analyze the details of former FBI Director James Comey's indictment because we don't know what those details are. Prosecutors will soon have to come up with a bill of particulars enumerating the specific lies they allege Comey told under oath. Of course, there are critics who say the whole thing is a disaster. For now, we don't really know. But we do know what happened in 2017. The new president, Donald Trump, was the target of wild speculation accusing him of "collusion" with Russia in the 2016 election. Comey, then head of the FBI, was in the middle of it, leading the bureau's "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation.
