Thoughts On A Sunday

I was pleasantly surprised when I woke this morning, feeling refreshed and with no aches or pains. After yesterday’s Island Cleanup Day I thought I’d have a few, even if minor. But none were evident, so I consider myself lucky. Considering I was the oldest person there offloading island residents’ boats of all their junk, demolition debris - lots and lots of old wood, much of it rotted - microwave ovens, window air conditioners, stove parts (including one cast iron potbelly stove), old windows, more than a few lengths of galvanized iron pipe, copper pipe, PVC pipe, braided steel cable, copper wiring, gas grills, charcoal grills, countless broken Adirondack chairs, a couple of canoes of which one was in pristine condition, a couple of paddleboards, more than one sailboard, swim raft floats, mattresses, bed frames, dinged up cookware, chairs, lamps, picture frames, toilets, sinks (including one kitchen sink), small outboard motors, 20lb and 40lb propane tanks (empty, thank goodness), more than a few gas cans and outboard motor gas tanks, a lawnmower, an electric chainsaw, and on and on. More than a few island residents made more than one trip, with one making 4 trips with her boat filled with demo lumber.

All in all it was a good day and while not one of the biggest Island Cleanup Days we’ve seen, it did keep everyone busy.

I don’t know about you, but I am already tired of the Lame Stream Media’s fawning over Kamala Harris. I know they are trying to promote her nomination, but considering just how awful she’s been, I am surprised they are doing so. The DNC seems to be doing its best to memory hole her history in California, in the US Senate, and her pronouncements, speeches and Twitter posts as a means of making it difficult for the GOP to use it against her. The problem is that the “Internet is Forever” and so many people have screenshots of her posts, copies of video, and of course, posts made by those who have never been been a friend of Kamala, be they Democrats, Independents, or Republicans.

I think the DNC is making a mistake placing their hopes on such an odious candidate like Kamala Harris, considering that, in my opinion, she was more of a ‘poison pill’ VP choice rather than someone who could step into the role of President if the need ever arose.

If nothing else it’s going to be interesting over the next couple of months...as in “May you live in interesting times” old Chinese curse kind of ‘interesting’.

Sorry, but I saw this headline and couldn’t resist adding it:

Meghan Markel Urged Not to Endorse Kamala

This might be the funniest story since Kamala Harris took over as the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee. According to a report from Newsweek, Meghan Markle, who was reportedly an actress once, is being urged not to endorse Kamala Harris because it "would have a negative impact on both women."

They say this like this is a Bad Thing…

==++++==

Speaking of Kamala, it seems that GOP VP candidate J.D. Vance has no use and no respect for her, particularly after she had the ovaries to question his and Trump’s loyalty to our country. That’s rich, coming from a Communist-in-all-but-name.

In remarks Saturday evening at President Trump’s campaign rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, Trump’s running mate Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio scorched presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris for questioning his and Trump’s loyalty, saying, “What the hell have you done to question our loyalty to the United States of America?”

--snip--

“I saw the other day, Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to this country. That’s the word she used, “loyalty.” And it’s an interesting word (Semper fi), loyalty. Because there is no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what Kamala Harris has done at our southern border.

And I’d like to ask the vice president what she has done to question my loyalty to this country? I served in the United States Marine Corps. I went to Iraq for this country. I built a business for this country. And my running mate took a bullet for this country.

So my question to Kamala Harris is, “What the hell have you done to question our loyalty to the United States of America?”

And the answer my friends is, nothing.

Indeed. This is something else that has to be hammered home again and again and again. Don’t let Kamala get away with it.

==++++==

Kamala has been a failure as the border czar despite her claiming she was never assigned that task (overwhelming evidence to the contrary). Another failure that can be laid at her feet?

Broadband czar.

Biden tapped Kamala Harris to serve as the rural broadband czar in 2021. Part of her task was overseeing the implementation of a $42 billion program to connect Americans in rural and remote parts of the country to the Internet. According to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) member Brendan Carr, however, after almost 1,000 days, not a single person has actually been connected to the web.

Internet service providers (ISPs) and lawmakers on Capitol Hill contend the Biden-Harris government’s burdensome regulations—including climate change mandates, union worker requirements, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies—have brought progress on expanding rural Internet access to a halt.

I suppose she’ll deny she was ever named as the Broadband czar as well. So, what the hell has she been doing the past three-and-a-half years?

OK, enough of Kamala for now. I’m starting to feel a little nauseous.

==++++==

I’ve wondered this, too.

How can every country be warming faster than all the others, at the same time?

The answer is simple: It’s all a con. Such claims fit the Climate-change-is-all-the-fault-of-the-Evil-Humans narrative. And as we all know The Narrative must be supported at all times. It doesn’t matter if it’s a lie or makes no sense or has absolutely no data to support it in any fashion. The Narrative is all that matters.

Well, I have three words that challenge that narrative: Hunga Tonga-Hunga.

‘Nuff said.

And that’s the news from Lake Winnipesaukee, where the weather’s been great, the drivers have not, and where the islands of our little town are just that much cleaner!
