All these and many more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Opinion - President Biden is leaving Trump a shocking mess to clean up What an incredible mess Joe Biden will be leaving for Donald Trump on Jan. 20. It isn't just the $36 trillion in federal debt (up $13 trillion since 2020), which has increasingly (and foolishly) been financed by short-term borrowings; it is also inflation that refuses to die despite slumping energy prices, a Strategic Petroleum Reserve that has been drained to perilous levels, a weapons stockpile that is dangerously low, a Department of Justice that has lost the confidence of Americans, billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars that have been invested in losing enterprises (here's looking at you, Intel), an educational curriculum that teaches kids to hate their country but fails to deliver youngsters able to read and write, a housing crisis, a manufacturing slump and so much more. Biden also leaves Trump the nightmarish task of [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/opinion-president-biden-leaving-trump-130000664.html

Thrilling Friday non-GS/ES report, see man: We felt better today, relief man. We were at our lowest all-time body weight in Many years, don't know how to stop it man. Breakfast/lunch was a turkey-&-cheese sandwich, ingest we man. We plan to use the Galanz mini-fridge upstairs, assuming someone can carry it up there for us man. We got it at Many% ([2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2 -1]%) below new retail, financially savvy we man. Returned to casa in time for shorter-than-preferred siesta, zzz we man. We & Mini-B. played backyard football, play Two Guys man. We first equaled our record of Many (2x2x2x2x2 +2+1) successfully caught passes, glee man. We then set our new record of Many (2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2) completions, glee man. We somehow got eaten by gnats or something, itch we man. No idea how they survived temperatures of only Many F., no clue we man. Din-din was Costco angusburgers, ingest Two Guys man. Mini-B. has been playing on-line V.R. ever since, happy wee man man. No plans for Saturday other than to sleep in, all ESs attended and supposed to rain man. No party with the rubias tonight, bored with current crop we man. And that was/is our thrilling Friday, report we man.

Friday GS/ES report, see man: We attended all but one GS, timed out man. The first 2 ESs and the remaining GS yielded the take, see man: -- seemingly new Troika wall clock = $2, steal man -- pocket sports jersey, knife spatula = $Many ($2x2x2), OK man -- Galanz mini-fridge, t-shirt, NWT Pittsburgh claw hammer, mini-cooler bag, pack plastic forks = $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2), steal man Total = $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 +2)

Took Mama T-B. to doc appointment, chauffeur senior she man we man. Returned to casa and attempted to siesta, no luck man. Lunch was 2 turkey-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man.

Between 0 and 1, who knows man. Actually, 0, because none are rubias and therefore they don't count, si and no man. We chiefly use our patented pick-up line, see man: "Excuse us, Miss -- we haven't met yet, no man, so we still have a chance with you, si man!" Some also seek to improve the human race by agreeing to breed with a Central Chimpanzee, smart chicas man.

LAST CONFESSION Pat was dying. His wife, Kristi, was maintaining a candlelight vigil by his side. She held his fragile hand, tears running down her face. Her praying roused him from his slumber. He looked up, and his pale lips began to move slightly. "My darling Kristi," he whispered. "Hush, my love," she said. "Rest. Shhh -- don't talk." He was insistent. "Kristi," he said in his tired voice. "I... I have something I must confess to you." "There's nothing to confess," replied the weeping Kristi. "Everything's all right -- go to sleep." "No, no. I must die in peace, Kristi. I... I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!" "I know," Kristi whispered softly. "That's why I poisoned you."

Even in poorly rated schools, many teachers can be standouts -- smart, motivated, highly thought of. Set a meeting with the school principal to find out if your kids can be assigned to those teachers' classes.

1. Search for professional societies in these fields. Many should have job listings and maybe chat boards. 2. Find a U.S. mentor in these fields and ask for advice. 3. Work hard to improve your English. 4. Maybe your home language will prove to be an asset if bilingual ability is desirable.

Be very sure that you want to withdraw it, because if you relent later, you'll have to start from the very beginning.

Gracias beaucoup, si mam ma'am. And precisely what are you doing up so late at night, huh young lady mam ma'am?! You get to bed right now, si mam ma'am! Bad overly nocturnal mam ma'am! Bad, BAD overly nocturnal OVERLY NOCTURNAL mam ma'am!

According to sources, the exiled Prince has promised to repay the elderly man the billion dollar sum and then further shower him with untold riches as thanks.

I wonder if pardons must be done by individually naming the pardonee, or if pardons can be granted to a formal group ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump Needs to Pardon All the J6 Political Prisoners on Day One I, for one, am delighted that alleged President Joe Biden pardoned his scumbag, perverted, drug-addled corrupto-kid. I might as well be because there's not anything I can do about it. We all knew this was coming. We knew it from the beginning. We especially knew it when Joe Biden promised he wouldn't do it. That made it a certainty. And now we get to watch the amazing contortions of the all-star leftist yogis twisting themselves into positions unfathomable by the human mind in order to justify it. It's great to see them humiliating themselves. It's not great because it's yet another blow to the rule of law. The rule of law has been beaten worse than Michael Cera getting in the ring with a prime Mike Tyson after talking bad about his mama. There is no rule of law, and therefore there is no point in being outraged over this latest outrage. It was inevitable. It was always going to happen. And then it did happen, and now we should take advantage of it. How do we take advantage of it? I'm glad you asked. On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump should pardon every single J6 defendant. [...] https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2024/12/05/trump-needs-to-pardon-all-the-j6-political-prisoners-on-day-one-n2648598

And is the UK's army chiefly trans/DEI whackos?

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man: Got Mini-B. to skool quite early, successful we man. It is because we swiped his phone while he was in the shower, biggest contributor to delay man. We then returned to the casa and tried to siesta, unsuccessful we man. We arose and took the T-B.-mobile to the repair shop, losing air from one tyre man. The tyre had a 2"-long, very thick nail in it, amazing man. The charge for flat-repair was $Many ($2x2x2 +2), most reasonable anywhere man. Lunch was onecan of [Many00% - 1%] fat-free Progresso chicken noodle soup, ingest we man. Siesta #2 was attempted, not much better than #1 man. Din-din was all but onepack of the Yakitori chicken rice, ingest Two Guys man. Movie night was again a basketball game, watch first half Two Guys man. Many (2+1) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man. This meets our weekly double-digit popcorn quota (2x2x2 +2+1), and only Wednesday man. We shall try to get Mini-B. embedded in timely fashion, good luck man. Must take Mama T-B. to doctor Thursday a.m., chauffeur senior she man we man. Might see Many-year-old chica Thursday afternoon, non-Two Guys eve man. And that was/is our thrilling Wednesday, report we man.

Not yet and good idea, si mam ma'am. We shall pre-go to reconnoiter, si mam ma'am. Another idea unconsidered by us, si mam ma'am. However, Mama T-B. probably wants something with more padding, si man. She definitely wants distinctly nonslip soles, not on moccasins that we've seen man. Nevertheless, we shall snoop for anything in the ballpark, si and gracias mam ma'am. Glad that you admit the outrageous nature of this non-Texas-like weather, hooray mam ma'am!

Gracias, si Y ma'am. Mama T-B. tried on several pairs in Walmart, sigh man. We will look into this, gracias Y ma'am. We found Many (2+2) pairs at an ES last year and got all Many (2+2) for ourself, financially savvy we man. Our back will not permit us to bend below the waist often or for long, grateful for those we man.

This is great news, si Y ma'am. Congratulations with shared relief, si Y ma'am.

British Army would be destroyed in six months if it had to fight Russia, says veterans minister The British Army would be destroyed in "six months to a year" if it had to fight Russia, the veterans minister has warned. Colonel Alistair Carns, a former marine and current reservist, said it would not be possible for the UK to sustain losses like those suffered by the Kremlin's forces – estimated at 1,500 troops per day in Ukraine – in the event of a war. Speaking at a conference on reserves, he said: "In a war of scale, not a limited intervention but one similar to Ukraine, our Army, for example on the current casualty rates, would be expended, as part of a broader multi-national coalition, in six months to a year." The British Army currently has 72,510 full-time troops – its smallest size since the Napoleonic era. [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/british-army-could-destroyed-six-163540346.html

Awful. On a cynical note, let's hope that UHC doesn't raise rates consequent to this.

It is Wednesday -- time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THANKSGIVING JOKES I asked my butcher, "How do you prepare your turkeys for Thanksgiving?" He said, "We just tell them straight out that they're gonna die." In the supermarket, I had trouble finding a Thanksgiving turkey large enough to feed my family. I asked the store clerk, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" He said, "No, sir; they're dead." Why did the turkey cross the road? He wanted people to think that he was a chicken. Why did the turkey stand on stilts? Because nobody eats flamingoes for Thanksgiving dinner. "Is that your pop-up timer, or are you just happy to see me?" What did the mother turkey say to her disobedient children? "If your father could see you now, he'd turn over in his gravy!"
