It seems crucial for everyone to read our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ================= A DOG'S GUIDE TO WALKING HUMANS Humans need exercise. If they don't get it, they become chubby. It's up to you to save them. Allow your human to tether himself to you. This keeps him from wandering off or running away. Your human will probably need breaks. Be considerate -- stop and sniff often. Bark frequently. Humans have short attention spans. When you go to the bathroom, walk away. If you have trained your human correctly, he will pick it up. Periodically drag your human as fast as you can. This is called interval training. Do not allow your human to shorten the walk. He is being lazy. Sit in protest if you must. Once back home, allow your human to remove his tether, then lick his face many times. This is positive reinforcement for a job well done.

Team Of MIT Physicists Says They Are Close To Figuring Out If This Is One Paper Plate Or Two BOSTON, MA — A team of MIT's top physicists recently studied a paper plate and determined they are close to knowing if it is one plate or two stuck together. The research team had been working diligently to answer the age-old question that had plagued humanity since the introduction of paper plates and announced it was now close to a breakthrough.

Sounds like a lot of fun's in store. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Democrats vs. the Enraged Left [...] The Coalition to March on the DNC boasts 150 groups, including Black Lives Matter and Students for Justice in Palestine. It is already coordinating buses of protesters into Chicago. It's asking for donations for "medical kits" and other supplies to "ensure that the March on DNC coalition" can "withstand the repression" of the Chicago police. Among other groups coming are outfits like Samidoun and Behind Enemy Lines, which agitate for "direct action" that goes well beyond marching. A recent Behind Enemy Lines post reads: "Now that the butchers of Gaza are coming to Chicago, it's time to take this political battle into high gear," which involves "getting in the streets to actually shut down Genocide Joe and Killer Kamala." One protest is planned for outside the Israeli consulate, and its poster reads: "Make It Great, like '68!"—a reference to the violence outside that year's Democratic convention in Chicago.

Campus Protests Are Back and the Spillover Will Affect the Democratic Convention Summer is nearly over, and that means back to school for both big and little kids. For smaller kids, that means a trip to Walmart or Target or wherever you get overpriced children's fashions and school supplies. For big kids, that means laying in supplies to survive the coming protests. What are all the kids wearing to the "Free Palestine" riots? Hopefully, the returning students were able to save up enough bail money from their summer jobs (if that's even a thing anymore).

Retired Minnesota Cop Makes Shocking Charge Against Tim Walz [...] Fox News reported Thursday that retired Minnesota State Patrol Lt. John Nagel knows the real Tim Walz behind the propaganda smoke and mirrors: "He is not a moderate, he has never been a moderate and here in Minnesota he has been anti-police, he has raised taxes, he is nowhere near being a moderate." Even worse, "he’s anti-police, defund the police, when you have police families, and we have an officer killed in the line of duty, when that family looks at the governor and says we don't want you at the funeral. That should tell you a great deal of how law enforcement in general feels about Walz."

Friday ES report, see man: We attended one of the 2 itineraried ESs, see reasoning below man. We got started at noon, delayed by phone calls man. First ES fruitful, see the take man: -- U.S./Europe power-convertor, Many-language translation tablet, pocket-sized magnifier = $Many ($2x2x2 +2), deal if all work man Total = $Many ($2x2x2 +2) GPS toward rather far-away #2 ES took us by favorite small thrift shop, stop we man.

We got it as follows with tax, see man: -- marble-top end table = $Many ($[2 Manyzen] +2+1), steal man Total = $Many ($[2 Manyzen] +2+1) We considered The Take to have been acceptable, no need to hit #2 ES man. Furthermore, we had more errands and wanted time to siesta, priorities man. (Completed other errands in time for decent siesta, zzz we man.) We were pleased with The Take, acceptable man.

Most of whom need to be replaced after varying durations, si and whee and then man.

Touching: Kamala Announces Plan To Hang 'Joy' Sign Above Bread Lines WASHINGTON, D.C. — Beloved presidential candidate Kamala Harris recently unveiled a touching new plan to hang a sign reading "Joy" over every bread line in America if she is elected president. According to her speech, the sign would help encourage Americans who will be forced to wait in miles-long bread lines for a small government handout of watery soup and gluten-free bread. Several journalists have already embraced Kamala's plan, pointing out the morale boost it will offer the American people. "It's brilliant, actually," said Jim Acosta, a reporter for CNN.

Can you imagine?! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Latest Biden-Harris Betrayal of Israel Will Make Your Blood Run Cold [...] the American delegation, if the Kuwaiti report is correct, did not go to Tehran to demonstrate America's strength; rather, it went there in order to show America's weakness. The delegation was intent not on warning Iran not to attack Israel, but to insist that America hadn't had anything to do with the killings of Haniyeh and Shukr, for those nasty Israelis had not taken them into their confidence. Even worse, these cowardly appeasers reportedly went to the Iranians bearing gifts. Fakhravar states: "The detailed report stated that the American delegation, arriving on a private plane from Turkey, landed at Payam-e-Khorram Airport in Karaj on Thursday and held a two-hour meeting with Iranian officials before returning to Ankara." At this meeting, the greatest betrayal of all was consummated: "the delegation presented a list containing the names of ten Mossad agents inside Iran, whom the Americans believe were involved in the assassination, directly or indirectly." To put this into perspective, recall [...] https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2024/08/14/the-biden-harris-regimes-latest-betrayal-of-israel-will-make-your-blood-run-cold-n4931652

Thanks to the Bidementia/Kommie regime. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Financial pressures on American consumers continue to rise It is the untold story of how inflation affects America's households: credit card debt. When hikes in basic food, clothing, energy, utility, and insurance costs started to hit families three years ago, many families who lived paycheck to paycheck across the United States had to make a decision: "Go without" or go into debt to take care of their basic needs. To put this in perspective: A whopping 65% of respondents indicated that they live paycheck to paycheck, according to a recent "Your Money International Financial Security Survey" by CNBC and SurveyMonkey, which polled 498 U.S. adults.
