Saturday [21 till close of play]

(1657) Almost evening, folks … actually, it’s dark.

 

26. This seems worthy of your time

25. Pause to consider, please

24. Xer Byl Holte:

To Speaker Mike Johnson; If you wanna see how American Congress SHOULD REALLY BE LOOKING right now, why don’t you try expelling:

  • Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick for stealing $5 million from FEMA like it was her personal ATM.
  • Jasmine Crockett for her racist idiocy that’s too dumb to hide and too loud to ignore.
  • Ilhan Omar for being a Jihadist, a spy, and a PROUD TRAITOR to america.
  • Eric Swalwell for putting his security clearance in bed with a Chinese spy.
  • LaMonica McIver for proving size DOES MATTER when you’re using it to assault ICE agents.
  • And as always, ADAM SCHIFF, for too many things to mention. Seven quick expulsions and poof—226-213 Republican majority.

And Trump’s MAGA agenda moves forward swiftly – like WE THE PEOPLE voted for it to. See Mike, cleaning house is easy when the trash bags itself.

23. I’m personally in two minds on this whole thing

This is by an Xer called Toneman:

“MTG has come in, served and will be retiring from Congress in January. Sounds like a good resume, doesn’t it? Well it’s not. You see there’s that spin and then there’s the underlying truth. MTG came in, learned the system and then went on to milk it dry for everything it was worth.

Let’s do a recap of MTG, shall we? MTG served our country honorably and parlayed that into a Congressional run. The exact way the American system is supposed to work. Reward those who served this great country by putting your faith and your vote into a person who was willing to put their life on the line for us. It’s all about honor. But honor is supposed to be forever, not only the time you wore the uniform.

MTGcame in, was a hard ass, always seemed to be fighting for what was right, most importantly fighting for our Commander in Chief. Was it all an act to be a part of Trump’s inner circle & use that to climb the food chain or did she always have other motives?

MTG left plenty of red flags as to where her loyalty lay. Her extra marital affairs, her allegiance to Kevin McCarthy where she didn’t even try to hide her affection for him. Was she also using him? MTG was a part of MAGA and she used that for personal gain. Her main purpose was never about serving the great people she took a vow for in this great country, her main purpose was to serve Marjorie Taylor Greene.

She latched onto MAGA looking to be catapulted to the top. What did Ms. I served honorably do while being elected? She did what every greedy RINO does. She served this country dishonorably and lined her pockets like every other corrupt Politician. She used the system just like many other RINOs. Insider trading. She came in with nothing and after 5 years is leaving with hundreds of millions of dollars which was illegally obtained and punishable by law.

MAGA was her cover and power was her goal. Only she wasn’t dealing with a braindead Joe Biden which during those years she made her fortune. She was dealing with a man who is always 3 steps ahead and knew exactly the scam MTG was. Trump kept her close. Always keep your enemies close. He didn’t give her a leash.

The minute she said she wanted to run for Senate, that was when Trump shot her and her political career dead. Message received by MTG. She tried running to every network to tell her version but once the dust was settled it was obvious, MTG was on her way out the door. Trump sent her a devastating message. Your poll numbers are in the toilet so the Senate is out. Then Trump hit her hard. BTW if you are thinking of keeping your seat, you will be primaried by someone I fully endorse and under no circumstances will you win.

That was it. The end of MTG. She won’t dare bad mouth him on her way out the door because he will have the IRS climb so far up her ass they will be able to see daylight. He will dissect every trade she ever made by using insider information. She should kiss the ground Trump walks on before her exit and pray he doesn’t release the dogs on her.

The MTG summary is quite simple. She came in honorably, she served our government dishonorably, she used the power of her office to enrich herself and she didn’t do a fucking thing for the great people of Georgia who she took an oath to help. MTG was using the Trump Train to catapult herself to the top and was found out by our great leader.

Once she was exposed, she acted like every Democrat, looking for a bailout by the rigged media only it wasn’t there for her. She even tried to kiss every liberal’s ass including the yentas from the View, CNN & MSNBC only to fall face first at Trump’s feet. Now her prestige is over, her term is over and her career is over.

Many Dems and RINOs before her tried to take on the boss and look what happened to them. Old Nancy was forced out, the Obama hand including Obama can’t sleep, McCarthy was thrown out, and who still stands tall? Donald J Trump. Never listen to the media. MAGA is stronger than ever.

My two cents.”

Sat Mat

 

“Now here’s a fantastic hidden gem from the almighty B-movie emperor Roger Corman! Arguably even his finest directorial accomplishment of the 1950’s, unless of course you fancy laughably inept monster movies like “Attack of the Crab Monsters” or “Creature from the Haunted Sea”.

“Not of this Earth” is an exceptionally atmospheric and solidly scripted Sci-Fi tale, with remarkably strong acting performances and even a handful of visuals and sequences that are genuinely shocking considering the time it was made. The eerily charismatic Paul Birch depicts an atypical alien ambassador from the planet Davana, on an attempted mission to rescue the population that is slowing dying following the results of a devastating nuclear war.

He names himself Mr. Johnson and follows a 6-step program in order to fulfill his mission, which includes daily blood transfusions and selecting earthly specimens (like street bums and random Asian guys) to teleport across space through a closet door in his house. He hired the lovely Beverly Garland as a private nurse and also employs a lowlife thug as his servant/chauffeur. Johnson’s deadliest weapons are hidden behind a thick pair of sunglasses and near the climax he suddenly also controls some kind of flying and bloodsucking jellyfish!

Admittedly this all sounds like a bunch of campy nonsense, and it actually is, but it’s the most entertaining type of campy nonsense imaginable! Traditionally these good old-fashioned fifties Sci-Fi flicks don’t feature any (unnecessary) sequences or unnecessary sub plots, only straightforward action and relevant dialogs!

Paul Birch and Beverly Garland are terrific in the lead roles, but also the supportive cast deserves some praise. Notably Corman’s loyal buddy Dick Miller is memorable as a sly door-to-door salesman of vacuum cleaners.

Roger Corman also produced a sleazy 80’s update of his own gem in which contemporary porn star Traci Lords reprises the role of Beverly Garland. The plots are largely similar, but the 1988 version is more difficult to follow since the lead actress is parading around naked the entire time. Equally good fun, but go for the 50’s original for sheer Sci-Fi nostalgia.”

Saturday [11 to 15]

(1237) Some good “shorts” to run just now, not much in the way of films, some short TV episodes … but it keeps changing.

 

15. The enemies inside



14. This is an interesting Schism

… again, just a snapshot here, there’s vastly more, natch. So national consciousness (ethnic, language) does come into religious denominations, as well as inter-denominational warfare. To my mind, there is something quite wrong about all this. I say that, not as an agnostic but as a believer inside the circle, so to speak.


13. That council by-election result

… signify anything much?


12. Snapshot of yet another inquiry


11. Snapshot of, rather than exploration of, this topic

Saturday [6 to 10]

(1129) Happy elevenses. (1144)

 

10. Transport


9. Socialism and Capitalism … or Corporatism?


8. Yellow peril, as the Australians called it?


7. This will need enlarging


6. Referring to Steve’s link on MTG in comments

Here are two pro-MTG comments:

  • You’re too good for politics, MTG, shame on POTUS for treating his enemies as friends and his friends as enemies. America is in deep trouble. Sad to see you go but I totally understand. God bless you, and thank you again for everything you’ve done.
  • Thank you for your courage and facing backlash for supporting Epstein justice!

And here are two counter points of view:

  • So, apparently you actually worked in Congress JUST long enough to ensure you got the pension and then quit the next day. Class move! Sad. Pension needs 5 years. She will have served 5 years and 2 days I guess wanted two days of buffer, huh?
  • I knew you would play the victim, but it was you who changed, and it was you who threw Trump under the bus every chance you got. You turned your back to us when you dud the grandstanding event with Massie, and you were standing in front of signs accusing Trump of being a pedo, and the final straw was your tour of left wing TV shows where you once again bashed Trump. You brought it all on yourself.

Saturday [1 to 5]

4. Just something Toodles mentioned

… which had me searching:

“Dividers between panes of glass are called muntins (or glazing bars in the UK), which are the narrow strips that separate individual panes within a single window frame. Larger, structural dividers that separate entire window units are called mullions. Both can be either a decorative “true divided lite” with separate pieces of glass or a “simulated divided lite” where a grid is applied to the face of a single pane.”

Uh huh.
