The Wind in the Wallows 0

When I was growing up at Pine View Farm, we had a windmill (in the picture above, it would have been behind the right ell of the house). Granted, it was relic from before the electric water pump was installed, but there it was.

Maybe that explains it.

Jonesing for Jones 0

Dick Polman delights in the videoed deposition of hate-monger Alex Jones. A snippet:

I trust you’re familiar with Jones. As the shock jock of InfoWars, he has long trafficked in preposterous conspiracy theories, none of them more sickening than his oft-repeated decree that the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre (20 Connecticut schoolchildren, six adults) didn’t happen, that no kids were killed, that the whole thing was staged by actors shedding phony tears, all for the apparent purpose of undermining the Second Amendment. Or something like that.

Not surprisingly, Donald Trump loves the guy; during an appearance on Jones’ show in 2015, candidate Trump gushed: “Your reputation is amazing! I will not let you down…My audience, 90 percent of them, they support you.”

Do please read the rest.

Birther of the Nation 0

President Obama’s country of origin is not the only birthplace the Donald Trumples. Field reports (emphasis in the original):

And the conman in chief was at it again today. The man actually lied about where his father was born for crying out loud.

“My father is German, right? Was German. And born in a very wonderful place in Germany, so I have a great feeling for Germany,” Trump said during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who is from Norway.

Ahhhm, no Donald, your father was born in New York. I mean seriously, who does this? Who lies with all the world watching about where his father was born? I am starting to think that the man just can’t help himself. Surely he must have known that this could be easily fact checked. I suppose that when you tell so many lies and you are used to getting away with them you become emboldened to just tell more.

Follow the link for the full Field report.

Be polite to your life partner.

As deputies investigated further, they said the shooting was sparked by a domestic violence issue between Morin and her boyfriend. Morin reportedly shot the victim because he was snoring too loudly. Both parties had been drinking and got into an argument prior to the shooting, according to a press release.
