Observations, see man: 1. We are highly self-thankful for having mow-lawned one week ago, constant monsooning man. 2. Miu wants more attention than we can give her, si man: -- brushed miu twice, soft/fluffy miu man -- early serving of miu-treats/dry food, another being jockeyed for right now man -- much play, little of which seems to satisfy miu man -- miu constantly tries to sit on our keyboard, omnipresent miu man -- keeps miuing in "miu," please talk "People" so Daddy can out-figure what you want miu man

They are probably remarkable purely for this. Did you get any sense of what's being done that's most effective, or "least ineffective"?

Money-laundering, and perhaps cover for espionage. Allegedly, every Chinese college student in a STEM field here is tasked with returning intel to the CCCP.

Either her remorse came too late, or it's crocodile tears.

Yee-HAAAAA! [That's Texan for "Congratulations!"] You're nearly a Colonist now.

"When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous Reaches Last Call Pabst Brewing Company head of brand strategy Zac Nadile confirmed what many old Milwaukee beer drinkers probably hoped they'd never read: Schlitz Premium is being "placed on hiatus." As Fox News shared, the beer had become nothing short of Milwaukee's culture. [...] Corporate language always carries a faint shell of bubble wrap, but the meaning is plain enough. The beer that made Milwaukee famous is reaching last call after 177 years. [...] https://pjmedia.com/david-manney/2026/05/20/the-beer-that-made-milwaukee-famous-reaches-last-call-n4953051

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man: Decent zzz (on frowned-on HSM) but not long enough of it, shorted-on-zzz we man. Rousted Mini-B.'s carcass, groggy wee man man. Miu more subdued than recently, subdued miu man. Breakfasted Mini-B. and miu, ingest wee and miu man man. T-B.-mobiled Mini-B. to skool in the rain, sick of rain we man. Breakfast for us was toast, ingest we man. A siesta was immediately taken, nicely restorative zzz man. Visited Mama T-B., visit senior she man we man man. Most of visit was listening to Mama T-B.'s complaints, most of them justified man. Her facility is NOT meant for the completely bedridden, sigh man. Groceried at Sam's, went for Many (2+1) items and got just those man. Returned to casa and moved purchases inside door, mobile we man. Miu was inside casa ready for servicing, demanding miu man. Mini-B. was already at the casa when we arrived, unknown to we or wee man man. Mini-B. opened inside door while outside door was open, uh-oh man. Miu got into garage, vocal and elusive miu man. Fortunately, we closed garage door, ensconced miu man. After some difficulty, captured miu and threw her back in the casa, displeased miu man. Serviced miu as originally desired, mollified miu man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. retrieved Mini-B. for non-Two-Guys eve, man. Helped someone with something, help we man. Found more Subway coupons in Uncle T-B.'s recycle bin, man. Retrieved yet another kill-paining HSM, this one costing $Many.Many man. Din-din was from Subway*, ingest at long last we man. *WUOC + gift card, F$WM Dozed on theater sofa while watching TV news, zzz we man. Miu zzz'd on other sofa, zzz miu man. Mini-B. returned, return wee man man. Fortunately, we roused ourself before Mini-B. could sneak up and shout at us, heart failure avoided man. Mini-B. didn't want a movie night, man. He actually might embed himself at a semi-reasonable hour, minor miracle man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Thursday means itinerarying weekend GSs/ESs, itinerary we man. No formal plans otherwise, probably going to monsoon again anyway man. And that was/is our thrilling Wednesday, report we man.

True and valid, si D ma'am, but Uncle T-B. would probably fumble each pill on to the floor, sigh man. The currently affected pills are Vitamin D and AREDS2 vitamins, always in bottles man. What we're still mystified by is why most old people maintain Many-degree temperatures, sweltering man.

What I haven't heard is a way to bypass or disable this.

This is elegant and classic.

Wednesday! Time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== CHIHUAHUA JOKES "Imagine that you wake up every day in a room-sized bed. You are gently lifted from the covers and dressed in warmest sweaters each morning. Your favorite foods are brought to you. You have no bills, no job, no responsibilities. But you are a chihuahua, so you are blind with rage." Chihuahuas are 50% dog, 50% unresolved grievance. A German shepherd protects the house. A chihuahua protects the house from emotional stability. Chihuahuas wake up every morning and immediately remember someone exists. Most dogs think: "How can I help?" Chihuahuas think: "Who authorized this?" A chihuahua is what happens when anxiety evolves into a mammal. Rottweiler: "I will guard you." Labrador: "I will love you." Chihuahua: "Prepare yourself." Chihuahuas weigh eight pounds yet behave like recently deposed dictators. Every chihuahua acts like it personally fought in three wars. Chihuahuas are proof that confidence and competence are unrelated variables. Other dogs bark because they hear something. Chihuahuas bark because existence continues. Somewhere inside every chihuahua is a Doberman with a severe personality disorder.

Scintillating Tuesday repartee, yawn man. ------- Thrilling Tuesday report, see man: Poor Mini-B. did his entire group's project and got embedded after midnight, exhausted wee man man. We made sure of his embedding and got less zzz than he did, lousy HSM man. Miu exceptionally active and needy, active needy miu man. Breakfasted Mini-B. & T-B.-mobiled him to skool, drizzling rain outside man. Breakfast for us was the leftover pulled pork from din-din, ingest we man. A 2-hour siesta was then taken, not solidly restful but acceptable zzz man. Rousted our carcass by 1 p.m., self-roust we man. Made P.O. drop, barely retrieved Uncle T-B.'s Rx, & groceried for Uncle T-B., hat trick we man. Delivered stuff to Uncle T-B., grateful senior he man man. His apartment was very close to Many00 degrees F., beyond sweltering man. He had his A/C unit set on heat, man. His soft pills were melting, serious man. He had hosed his pill-caddy, reconstruct correct meds we man. We went through his mail to tell him what it was, mail man we man man. We noticed that he has $Many,000 in "cash sweep" in a brokerage account, 0.01% interest man. We must fix this for him if we ever get time and if he remembers his account password, man. Rooted through recycle bins at Uncle T-B.'s place without great expectation, root we man. We found Arby's coupons and (drum roll, si man) Subway coupons, oh heavenly occurrence man. It has literally been Many months -- si man, Many months -- since this fortuitous serendipity, man. While T-B.-mobiling back, we were called by an aysheep Mama T-B., aysheep senior she man man. "I just got a court summons on e-mail, si man!" aysheeped senior she man man. At the casa, we inspected this, see we man. Summonses aren't e-mailed, her name wasn't named, & return e-mail was a spammer's, explain we man. Mama T-B. somewhat mollified but busted our chops about other stuff, man. Just then, Mini-B. arrived, de-skooled wee man man. He'd gotten only a Many on his solo group project, we man but understandable man. Things should be much lighter for him now, hope we man. Din-din was chicken enchiladas (Sam's), tater tots (Aldi), & r'b'r, ingest Two Guys man. Movie night was The Shootist, watch John Wayne Two Guys man. Mini-B. finally receptive to Westerns after he played a video game with that theme, new movie vistas man. Mini-B. already embedded, up-catch on zzz wee man man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Supposed to storm through the night, rain already started man. Must visit Mama T-B. on Wednesday, mandatory man. And that was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report we man.

Do you agree with VDH? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ America: The Real Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon One American view of China—now increasingly popular on the Left and the Right alike, especially among the hate-Trump crowd—is that the communist colossus will be forever ascendant, with continued astonishing levels of food production, ship construction, and industrial output. In this pessimistic view, China will soon replace America as the world's predominant power. We are, supposedly, like an exhausted British Empire circa 1945, and China is the new version of the postwar American powerhouse. Yet even Beijing's miraculous 30-year leap out of poverty into first-world affluence and Westernized power is hardly the same as parity with the US. In truth, Trump held almost all the cards at the current summit and will do so again when Xi Jinping visits the US this autumn. According to nearly every historical measure of power, the US leads China by sizable margins—in wealth, economic output, fuel, food, and military strength. China has roughly four times the population of the US, but [...] https://amgreatness.com/2026/05/19/america-the-real-crouching-tiger-hidden-dragon/

In another "thank God" occurrence: In KY-4, Ed Gallrein has been called (86% of vote in) as having ousted the traitorous Thomas Massie. Bye, RINOs!
