The Devastating Effect of Plastic On Our Planet

Following up on the thread on konane's recent post U.N. Stuns World on Eve of Largest Climate Events Ever, I found this in my YouTube subscription list last night. 



I am a climate change skeptic, certainly no eco-warrior and not a tree hugger, but this should alarm us all.  You can factually deny many outrageous claims from the left in regards to the environment, but there's no denying this; just like a picture, a video can speak a thousand words.  Actually, it's even worse than depicted, with places in the oceans where currents meet called "gyres" forming huge masses of plastic debris;  the Pacific Gyre plastic "patch" is larger than Texas.

Bulldog VS Dinosaur

From another of my favorite YouTube channels, Elvis and Khalee: "two bratty bulldogs who enjoy watching TV and mouthing off to our parents!'. It's hilarious how they recognize villains or monsters in movies, especially from horror flicks.  Other than barking at bad guys, they really seem to enjoy watching TV, especially nature shows.  Their reaction to some cheetahs in a recent video made me LOL because when one saw the big cats on TV, it barked for the other to come provide some backup. 

You'd never have to worry about Freddy Krueger or Jason if you had these two dogs.



Their owners also post some very unusual time lapse videos of some very odd events in their garage.  I'm not sure if they're a spoof or hoax, but it's weird.

This is TDS

A prime example of Trump Derangement Syndrome.  How unhinged do you have to do to make such a meaningless gesture and then post it to social media?  I'm glad my life isn't that sad...and wasn't even during the last administration.

I have a suggestion as to where he can stick that finger.

Twitter Truther Twits

The 9/11 Truthers were out in force today on Twitter.. "Fire can't melt steel"? Only them and Rosie O'Donnell think so. ("Great minds think alike", y'know) I worked on drilling rigs most of my adult life and survived several blowouts and trust me when I tell you, fire CAN melt steel. 

Do I think the govt. covered up *some* things? Yes, I do, but more along the lines of how Saudi Arabia aided the terrorists, or how they tried to downplay our obvious intelligence agency failures and national security shortcomings but do I think explosives were pre-planted in the buildings? No, of course not.  That's absurd. (well, absurd to anyone who possesses an iota of critical thinking)

I hold the same disdain for 9/11 Truthers as I do Holocaust deniers or those who think the Freemasons are trying to take over the world.  If you think that way, then you are a *&^%$&+ idiot.

Doxxing Condiment Abusers

How Do YOU Spell "Alabama"?

CNN spells it M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

Let's give 'em an "A" for Spelling but an "F" in Geography.

What gets me is that CNN is headquartered in Atlanta GA, just one state over.  How can we expect them to accurately report on the world news when they don't get it right about their own region of the country?

Hello September!

From Bernie and his doting and devoted Socialist acolyte, AOC.

That probably should be a buzzard on top of his head, but....

The Picture of Dorian Green

A Tweet from the logically-challenged AOC:



Since taken down; I guess one of her staff pointed out that if the power was down, then all those people with electric cars would have trouble charging their batteries.

I just hope she has plenty of extra batteries for that pointy "massage" thing she keeps in her nightstand;   I'd hate to think how stupid she'd get if she didn't keep her "emotions" in check.   I bet it's a lovely shade of emerald and she's named it "The BIG Green New Deal". 

Trivia of the Day:  Google how the band Steely Dan got their name.

Bernie Battles Bag

No, the bag isn't Pelosi, but a speed bag during an ill-advised photo-op at the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky

And the winner is...Bag, TKO early in the first round.

Now, if only the reality of Socialism would slap his idiot supporters in the face....



To paraphrase Ali:  "Floats like a Socialist, stings like Communism."
