Indeed! LMAO! Hey, I've known a few drunken sailors in my day - a fun lot! (I was never in the Navy, but had relatives and friends who were.)

Even before firing such managers, move each of the government agencies out of Washington. If the managers refuse to move, then you have a reason for firing them. In the interim, if they are teleworking and refuse to commute to work, then they are FIRED.

Spending like a drunken sailor is an insult to the sailor. It should be spending like drunken senators.

Haven't heard of Dave Ramsey, but did variants of the "baby step" activities starting about 45 years ago - it works! Side bar: It was mainly my wife's idea at the time that got us on that road - yep we're still dancin'!

A lesson from my personal life: Reducing frivolous spending about 45 years ago resulted in massive growth, surpluses, and a retirement of relative economic freedom (I use the term "relative" because government at all levels is sucking what it can out of me because it hasn't picked up on what I learned 45 years ago).

Excellent MAGA kick off collection, OUC! I was thinking this past Friday, "I hope we can get through the weekend without Xiden screwing anything else up." Well, it's finally Monday and delivery of the package is imminent. The Israel/Hamas deal that dominated the news this weekend is incredibly lopsided in favor of Hamas and strongly hints that hostage taking can be a viable enterprise, but Trump can take over with a little breathing room in the area and I seriously doubt Hamas will act up anytime soon. Yep, take out the trash! I expect to be thinking good thoughts this coming Friday.

nice themed memes, great selection

It's very, very rare that government spending is good - in my mind.

I saw a good one yesterday. Unfortunately that was a day late. It said that Friday would be the first Friday that we would look forward to Monday. These were all good though. I think my favorite was Uncle Sam handing the keys over to DJT.

Wildfires are reality just reasserting itself against WOKE crap. Nothing will stop statism as effectively as confronting unyielding reality.

the more people and business hates RFK, the more the people need him to shake things up. Letting business have too much power for too long is a bad idea. They get used to taking advantage of their power, and the people need to stand up and show business that customers are THEIR real boss.

The elite will rule california until there is no more wealth there.

I think that the availability of insurance payments and peoples' cash will reduce the size of the rebuilt houses, causing real estate sales in california to be reduced. I think. a lot of people who have no insurance will just want to sell the land and get out of dodge. In addition, rebuilding a stick wood frame house is insane in california- given the pretty much constant fire danger and the danger from WOKE.

Nothing like stark reality to make people think rationally. Nothing like a pit bull guarding someones property to make a thief think twice about robbing it....

Yep. That's enough. Time to shut it down. Spend the money on the homeless...

Yes, you must go up the hierarchy a level to see the source of evil that uses the stupid to hide their own responsibility.

Okay, yes, maybe they are pointing the cause at down lines for a single fire, I'm saying 6 fires at the same time is not natural.

I lived in Lincoln when that happened and opened my home to refugees for the Paradise fire. Didn’t even think about that, most of these people in Pacific Palisades are wealthy enough to own more then a single home, so… Sorry to hear that… Do you know if insurance paid for the losses of the Paradise fire?

They're desperate.

Thanks for sharing your perspective, John. I design healthcare facilities for a living and I'm having to deal with a complete dearth of engineers in their prime (typically 30 to 50 years old). They're all gone. There are just a few of us around with lots of experience, in our late 50s and older. I've been wondering why this massive gap exists and your comment reminded me that many of us were asked by the clients (healthcare providers) to take the jab to get access to the facilities to do our work. Maybe a lot of my colleagues just quit over it. I know it led to many firefighters, cops and airline pilots dropping out. There's been a real impact on my industry and I'm getting tired of fixing the screwups. Sadly...may just say "to hell with it" at the end of this year. Maybe go coach golf or drive a school bus...finally hit my "shrug job". I never took the jab.

The only useful response to all this nonsense is naming the ridiculousness of the left-right arbitrary usage. Then offer an alternative scale of human rights respecting vs disrespecting.

That leads to a conversation about the what and the why.

Chico, Redding and Red Bluff have yet to recover from the impact of that Paradise fire. It emptied the town, pushing the inhabitants down into the north valley. Much of Red Bluff looks like a zombie movie with all the drug addicts staggering around.

A couple decades ago I got to work in the drinking water system business. I was working in a regulatory agency where we were dealing with smaller muni drinking water treatment facilities. I enjoyed that work and learned a lot. I knew back then that the fluoride program was a problem. I remember hearing colleagues who were trained in biology (I'm just an engineer) laughing at people who didn't want the fluoride and I'd think, "What in the hell is wrong with you? Where'd you get your degree?" It's a little surprising that the worm has finally turned because that meant that people, en masse, had to actually follow the real science - pay attention - think.... When I was doing that work is when I started using an RO system for my family's drinking water at home...

I'm in.

After all, it's all "Hysterical' now, isn't it? Out of control, inside out and upside down . . .
