Assuming this is real, not sure that is a justified shooting. On the other hand, don't be ****ing with other people's crap.

Close, he sheared the pole and the lower section bent under car, the upper section suspended by the wires came down and rested on windshield. You can see the wiper snagging on pole but flex back to continue.

That would make more sense. I can see now where the glass is smashed in to the car and not out.

I absolutely had no idea that this was a thing now. Of course, I rarely wander far from home these days, and that may be a good thing.

Christians are one of the few remaining unprotected classes today. Granted, there are a handful of batshit crazy people doing dumb crap who claim to be Christians, but overall the majority of people who practice any faith are good people. And while the oppressor class throughout history has used religion to control the masses, overall, the faithful have made the world a better place.

Yeah! Damnit! Amazing how no one ever wants to discuss what radicalizes these people to commit these acts. They won't release the manifesto of the Trans school killer in Nashville because apparently it is "radical Trans" related. It's always blame the tool. How about the radicalized black dude who mowed over white people in the Christmas parade in Wisconsin. Or lets talk about all of the murders in the major cities. Or let's talk about the mass murders in Mexico by the cartels which exist to feed the drug hunger of our fellow drug-crazed US citizens. Nah!

This is all for today, because I have now depressed myself reading all this stuff.

Homebuyers with good credit scores will soon encounter a costly surprise: a new federal rule forcing them to pay higher mortgage rates and fees to subsidize people with riskier credit ratings who are also in the market to buy houses.

The fee changes will go into effect May 1 as part of the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s push for affordable housing, and they will affect mortgages originating at private banks across the country. The federally backed home mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will enact the loan-level price adjustments, or LLPAs.


Mortgage industry specialists say homebuyers with credit scores of 680 or higher will pay, for example, about $40 per month more on a home loan of $400,000. Homebuyers who make down payments of 15% to 20% will get socked with the largest fees.

The new fees will apply only to Americans buying houses or refinancing after May 1.

I love flying! It would be so nice to have a high speed rail network across the USA, like China and Europe.

Monello's favorite internet stuff is what I call "bum fights" (people behaving badly in public). I can't watch that because it's just depressing. I'm listening to him watch the guy on the plane and .... ugh.

Talk about poor sportsmanship! Some parents are doing a top notch job of raising their children these days. He really needs to be arrested and charged for that!

Revenge is the only way

Well, OK. One more because this cheered me up.

Backstory: The NYT recently did a hit piece on Bitcoin $BTC using the age old argument that it consumes a lot of electricity and therefore is going to destroy the planet. Bitcoiners dispute this and have their own counter arguments. Whatever. The fun part is this one bitcoiner had an amazing epiphany. He realized that the NYT has and continues to use a massive amount of paper on a daily basis and this requires cutting down a massive amount of trees. This is demonstrably bad for the planet as trees are one of the main life balancing forces. So, he creates this new Twitter account and goes to work on the NYT. His meming is really starting to spread!



Here's the page if you want to look at all of the posts. It's amazing because he/they are coming up with brand new attacks every few hours, not just blasting the same one over and over. I guess the geniuses at the NYT never considered their own impact on the planet, or just chose to ignore it and hope no one else would notice!

This will have the exact opposite effect they seek. Responsible people will say, "Why am I doing all the right things and being penalized? I might as well open some new credit cards and run them up to the max and default. Free stuff, lower my credit rating, no longer subsidize those unwilling to do the right thing."

Hope there were some scouts in the audience. That beer can throw was on point.
