Do you need a good laugh? Or maybe more than one?

If you are in need of some LOL and ROFL in these dire times, then I have a recommendation out of the archive of time straight from 1967 for you!

I just finished my personal struggle through The Flying Nun | Pilot | S1EP1 FULL EPISODE. My personal struggle is a) a very short attention span for movies and b) a whole lot of laughter attacks.

Mostly, when I'm out and about, I try to avoid using the restroom. There's a Walmart neighborhood store in the area that I generally have cause to be out and about in. The restrooms there are rarely busy and only once or twice have had to interact with anyone there. If I find myself in need, it's my restroom of choice.

Democratic lawmakers shot today…….

Caution:

When I awoke this morning, having stayed in bed later than I usually do as it is a dreary day, I checked the news and weather as is my usual habit - well, after my usual morning ablutions and grabbing my first cup of coffee anyway. The first thing I noticed was that two Democratic lawmakers, and their spouses, were shot in an obvious politically motivated execution in Minneapolis, Minnesota overnight.

Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were both killed, and Senator John Hoffman and his wife were both shot multiple times but as of this writing are still alive.

My upcoming post of "A Better Hand"

I'm about to post "A Better Hand" and I feel there needs to be some forewarning and explanation of the work considering it the sequel of another's work that is not readily available. The prologue follows:

Men in Petticoats -- All In The Cards Bea’s TV Station

It seems my muse has doomed me to write continuations of other peoples work. A couple of decades ago, there were lots of authors with their own websites. I was one of them, as was Bea. Bea was a prolific author and hosted a series of websites to display her work. The most recent is, “Bea’s TV Station”, which is still up.

For all Gaby fans, who are also rail fans

For all Gaby (the bicycle racing champion) fans who are also interested in her adopted home, I have some new documentary video clip for you. As some of you may realize and/or remember, in June 2021 there was a huge flood in western Germany that was especially devastating for the valley of the Ahr river. Know in German as Ahrtal.

Trying out a dancers belt

I've decided to give wearing a dancer's belt at try. Not a gaff, but a true dancer's belt.

dance belt

I've only had it on for a short time, but initially, I like it. It's comfortable and does what it claims. It holds thing up, out of the way instead of squishing them down between your legs where I sit on them and they get in the way of holding my knees together.

Modern day slavery in big corporations?

Here is a very interesting comparison between Europe and USA regarding employee protection, and whether big corporations are engaging in modern day slavery and/or worker exploitation. I have previously seen some individual reporting regarding these corporations, and how they are running afoul of European legislation.

“Donny Two Dolls” is the best name ever!!

Blog About: 

Author: 

Dumbass Donald make a comment a few days ago about how American girls might not get thirty dolls anymore, they might have to make due with two dolls and they might cost more. This was his response to retailers letting the American public know that his tariffs are going to make toys cost considerably more this coming Christmas.

Lawrence O’Donnell had an unbelievable commentary on Trump’s statement (see attached) in which he coined the name “Donny Two Dolls” - which is absolutely the best name for the Orange Asshat yet!

Makeup for Pete Hegseth?

Blog About: 

Author: 

CBS reported this evening that at the direction of Pete Hegseth, the Department of Defense is upgrading the green room attached to the Pentagon briefing room. Understandably, facilities need to be upgraded periodically - even those used by the military.

However, the interesting thing about this report is that apparently we are paying $10,000 to $15,000 to upgrade the green room by adding a make up station - all at the suggestion of Tami Radabaugh,a former Fox News producer who works for Hegseth, and apparently approved by Hegseth’s wife - also a former Fox News producer.

Several weeks ago………

Several weeks ago, I added a quote to my signature line here; a quote which I remembered from my youth. A few people have inquired as to the origin of the quote, so I felt the need to explain it.

I was raised as a Lutheran - the church of my mother’s family, something for which I give thanks regularly. My father’s family were Baptists, and I give thanks that I was NOT raised in that church! It has been my experience that all churches have their share of hypocrites, but the percentage amongst the Baptists seems to be considerably higher, as does the number of assholes.

Illegal search and seizure of a U.S. citizen by ICE. This is exactly what we fought against in 1776, and now Trump and his Nazi administration are bringing it back to our country.

This man was born In Georgia and is an American citizen. A judge examined his birth certificate and determined that is is “undoubtably valid”, yet he is still being held in an ICE detention center in violation of his rights as a citizen, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.

A recent blog posting here made me remember a movie……

That I saw some time back - The American President. In it, Michael Douglas stars as the President of the United States. His character is a widower with a teenage daughter, his wife having died during his campaign. The movie also stars Annette Benning as a professional lobbyist who is hired by an organization to push an environmental bill.

Welcome to the American gulag……..

Donald Trump is trying to figure out how to deport US citizens to prison in El Salvador, which is apparently his new American gulag. In a press conference at the White House, his Press Secretary admitted that Trump was looking for a way to revoke the citizenship of naturalized citizens in order to deport them. Apparently he is also working on trying to retroactively revoke the citizenship of people born within the United States in order to deport them as well.

Five years ago today...

Elsbeth disappeared five years ago today.

She posted so many wonderful stories on BCTS. My favorites are Harry Potter - Season of Change, Freyja's Daughter and The Lost Queen. I still re-read them regularly. In 2020 she was posting a chapter a week, regular as clockwork, in addition to logging in to leave comments several times a week. Many of us were in a private chat group guessing what was going on in The Lost Queen. We were so SO happy whenever a new chapter came out and we could see how close we are.

One of my favorite movie quotes…….

Author: 

Is a scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In the scene, Indiana and his father travel to Berlin just before the start of WWII in order to retrieve his father’s diary. While there, they witness a book burning in the town square, with hundreds of people cheering as the Nazis pile books upon the flames. Indiana’s father, played by Sean Connery, turns to him and says, “My boy, we are pilgrims in an unholy land.”

How the mighty have fallen as the fascist purge marches on. The US Naval Academy posted a list of nearly 400 books being removed from the Nimitz Library as part of Trump’s purge of anything smacking of truth in history or social reality. Amongst the items purged were works by Maya Angelou, as well as books memorializing Holocaust survivors, or books on the history of the Ku Klux Klan or racism.

And a story about the Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck was airing. The show stars George Clooney, and is about Edward R. Murrow and his fight against McCarthyism. During the segment on 60 Minutes, Clooney is recorded telling the cast, "When the other three estates fail, when the judiciary and the executive and the legislative branches fail us, the fourth estate has to succeed.”
