I have a classmate who told me on her Facebook post showing the White House “demolition” that she literally cried when she saw the pictures. I had pointed out facts about prior construction. These people have a mental illness. It has to be. How can you be so emotionally fragile that as a 62 year old you cry at something like this??? It’s nuts. TDS is alive and well. It should be added to the psychiatric diagnoses.
It’s a symptom of being democrat: fragile DNA leads to mental illness. Couple nights ago, before I could change the channel, I caught the opening to one of the after-the-evening-newz proganda streams where they said POTUS Trump was demolishing the East Wing - and used some fancy graphics. Apparently the company handling the project is receiving threats now.
Returning to the issue of fragile DNA: I’ve read that the ‘y’ chromosome is disappearing, it’s only a matter of time — I’m curious, I bet they only looked at the DNA of democrat men. 😉 😊
In 1948 Harry S. Truman completely gutted the White House. Teddy Roosevelt built the West Wing. FDR built the East Wing and added a swimming pool. Obama added a basketball court in 2019. Nixon built a complete bowling alley.
In 2024 it is reported the government rented several large tents for gatherings costing over $1 million.
All of these were paid for by your TAX dollars.
Trump is adding a ballroom paid for by private donations. The issue is not about construction. It’s about the left's hate for Trump.
I love that last one! And the Chat GPT one. Thank you for the laughs. Stay safe on all your travels. God speed and may your winter begin with a warm woodburner when you finally get home to it. :-)
Were I to be crazy enough to actually live in NYC, I’d vote for the Marxist Islamist (or is it Islamist Marxist 🤔);
But only after I had secured a homestead in, say Tennessee AND I had sold my 750sqft closet-they-call-an-apartment.
Sliwa can’t win which leaves the other two. why not Cuomo, I’ve heard he’s the lesser of two evils. The answer lies in the question: you’re asking me to vote for evil.
Thankfully, I DON’T live in NYC so the issue for me is moot - other than when 💩 💩 flows downhill.
Personally, this is the choice newyorkers want, I say they have to live in their 💩 💩 🛌. Further, there ought’a be law that prevent you from moving from the 💩 storm you ushered in until you’ve fixed it.
Just 24 years ago, the twin towers were felled by Islamists no different than the leading candidate for Mayor of NYC - that ought’a be the reality impressed on anyone voting in two weeks. The Islamists couldn’t destroy NYC by outsiders, they’ll do it from within.
This whole "big cities are awful and especially NYC meme" is the flip side of TDS. It may be fun to do, but it is a good way of stopping thought and distracting people from what is really going on.
Humans have lived in cities for thousands of years and will continue to do so. They can be great places to live, with a kind of social life that is impossible to get in rural areas. What is going on right now is a problem of who is running them, and for what purposes. That can be fixed, but it requires a hard look at who benefits from our dysfunctional political and media system. And if you believe the twin towers were felled by "Islamists", I have a bridge to sell you....
Big city social life not possible in rural areas???? I lived in LA and knew none of my neighbors and had NO social life. I live now in a place that isn’t even a fork in the road and have dozens of great friends who visit, call and come help when I need it. (Over) Familiarity might just breed contempt and space might just solidify friendships.
Perhaps you take my definition of social life too narrowly. But yes, it is certainly possible to be alone in the big city. As Tony Bennett sings in the intro to "I Left My Heart In San Francisco": "I've felt terribly alone and neglected in Manhattan..." Of course, then the song goes on about how great San Francisco is. Different strokes for different folks. You seem to have found a place that suits you, and I have no argument with that.
🤔 well, I agree with the premise that A problem with big cities is who runs them but that’s not the only problem: a big city is not a good place to live for sanity or a good life. It is a convenient place and they offer interesting diversions from the business of living — but if big cities were all that great then why do people with great wealth do all they can to live apart from them? Big cities, and even some overly large medium sized cities, stink, they’re claustrophobic, they dehumanize the masses and they’re too godawfully loud.
I live in a large Montana city 🤣- emphasis on Montana, not by choice: year by year, acre by acre, the city has swelled like some horrid corpulent beast. It has made me quite wealthy, at least on paper and like the tycoons who claim NYC as "home," I long to live somewhere else. I DO NOT suffer from even I minor case of BCDS - my complaints against big cities are not imaginary, they’re firmly grounded in experience.
However, joy to you if that’s where you make your bed - regardless of how great a person you may be, that’s one less person fouling my view of the horizon; I’ll take a Big Sky over a big city any ol’ day.
"...not by choice"? It sounds to me like you should move out while you can, and go live where you really want to be. I do find your description of big cities to be hyperbolic and one sided. I could go on about rural idiocy and hayseeds, and there would be some truth to it, but it would be equally one sided stereotyping. Maybe a little open mindedness is in order.
🧐 now I’m suppose to make YOUR arguments for you⁉️
Hyperbolic⁉️ you want hyperbolic, I can give you hyperbolic.
As for “open minded,” that’s what got us in the predicament we’re in - being open minded about what we allow in the public square, who we allow in our nation, acceptable behavior, … - there are places all over this globe where those open minded beliefs are welcomed/tolerated and they’re hell holes, that’s why they’re flocking here.
What I meant by "open mindedness" was, that cities have both good and bad aspects (like most things), and you seem to have closed your mind to the good aspects. "...the city has swelled like some horrid corpulent beast." A little much, no? That's what I mean by hyperbolic.
Your travel schedule sounds meaningful - but ridiculously grueling! Loved all of these, but felt convicted by the panda without makeup; no skipping the mascara for me anymore! :-)
Such another great group of Friday Funnies to start our weekend with a smile! The Carol Burnett skit was sooo funny! My fave this time? The three weirdos! I also have “friends” who are melting over the White House renovations! Get a life for goodness sake!
Safe travels for you and Jill. Take care because we NEED you two!
I'd be ok with the renovation, but the size/scale of that new West Wing is clanging all my proportion sensibilities. Not to mention, I happen to think DJT does Not have the best sense of taste in decor. I hope it's not going to be another gold gilt monstrosity.
Having stayed at Mar-a-Lago and one of his golf courses in Miami, I disagree about his taste. I think mainstream media has done another hatchet job on him regarding his properties.
The White House room is typical of 19th century upper class decor, which is what the White House is. As for the room Trump is shown in, yes, it is over the top. If that is his worst fault, we are all very lucky.
One unintended consequence of the pandemic - I started listening to Dr. Malone and followed him ever since through Substack. He was my first subscription in this platform.
This week was above and beyond! And I must say just reading about your schedule of travels exhausts me. I get worn out just traveling around my little town picking up and dropping off kids. Add in a doctor appointment and I'm done.
I find you two to be anomaly's of the best kind. I am so glad I searched and searched and found you talking to Brett Weinstein many moons ago. Take care!
Best of luck if you're flying commercial and I'll be praying for your safety I've heard the government shutdown is starting to affect travel. I honestly don't know how You and Jill have so much energy, I wish you could bottle and sell it. Thank you for the good laughs today!
Okay I gotta make two points - one - the attempt to hide or delete certain rough words from the internet - by substituting symbols for letters. When we see that repair do we not say the word in our heads anyway? Mor@ns!
And, two, re the Carol Burnett sketch - remember when TV shows and movies had married couples sleeping in twin beds? How far we have come.
The one with Hillary and the silverware made me LOL She has broken every commandment...and so many women wanted her to be the first woman president! If they only knew what a heartless and neurotic witch this person was...They should have read Hillary's America by Dinesh D'Souza, Conduct Unbecoming by Lt. Col. Robert Thomas "Buzz" Patterson, and Monument Myths of the Medical Mafia by Ty Bollinger. People need to do a little research on candidates they vote for, particularly for president of the United States.
As you hinted that sometimes our fears prove true, the good news in all of this, is the Eternal Producer/Director of all humanity writes the script. He can be trusted, flawed humans are not always as pure. Like the sign I saw hanging above the clerks head in an old country store once, "IN GOD WE TRUST, all others pay cash".
Throughout the whole of human history, there have always been lunatics, madmen, oligarchs and control freaks, though they did not have the 21st century technology to implement mass genocide. Our Creator, in His eternal wisdom, knew time & all its players before they could crawl. I believe God put stop-gaps and limits in place for this reason. Despite all the darkness of the media/science/govt wolves-in-power trying to steer herds of humanity into deception - the GOOD NEWS is that there are many who still refuse to be herded down the Pied Piper's narrative. Hooray for common sense. Hooray for wisdom. Hooray for the truth. Hooray for the brave truth-tellers in every generation. Folks like yourself, and many of your readership.
Mostly - a big Hallelujah to Almighty God who knows this is still HIS world, and who is skilled at using a devils' plot to wake up all nations to hunger for more. More truth, life, goodness and freedom. Glory and truth lay ahead for those that love the truth.
I read the end of the book; Jesus wins. Life continues. Billions come home to their Maker. Liars have no part in the glorious future to come. His words, not mine. I'm just His Court reporter ;) - with eternal ✨️ retirement benefits. 1st Corinthians 6:9-11, Revelation 21:8

If that is all she has to cry about in life, thank God. Life might not be all that bad.
I would say if she cries about the WH, she probably cries about a lot of things...
Does she have blue hair and weigh about 200lbs+? Then I would understand...
Outstanding cartoon regarding correlation not being = causation!
Thanks for all your exceedingly hard work, travelling included especially!
Yes! That cartoon will have a long life!
Explain please. I didn’t get it. Cat on a tin roof with broken support stud. What’s there to correlate/cause-ate?
The cat didn’t cause the collapse.
Why would anyone have drawn that conclusion in the first place? Oh okay, I get it now … sort of.
I think it symbolizes a lot of the illogical conclusions that we see bantered about.
I love that last one! And the Chat GPT one. Thank you for the laughs. Stay safe on all your travels. God speed and may your winter begin with a warm woodburner when you finally get home to it. :-)
And a nice hot toddy!!!

The word of the month is 'scary' but then, NYC, as well as other big metropolis, are filling up with/culturing a huge amount of zombies.

Safe travels, look forward to a long winter’s rest.
I reacted the same way 😂

I think his ballroom with be exquisite! We should have a beautiful ballroom at the White House
Gold gilt - ‘ya gotta luv it…
But I still can't stand all that gold gilt, plus are you 100% sure those are done to his taste, or ?
