They Were Testing The New Prototype Camaro Z-28

Until they hit a guard rail.
Skip to 1:48 for that.


It's not a bad looking rig but I'm not overly impressed with the looks of it.
The new fad of all these cars having this huge phony assed off color grille in them just doesn't work for me and that spoiler could use some serious help.
I would like to think the thing hauls ass though if they seriously want to live up to the name.

The Realities Of Economic Collapse Happening In Venezuela Right Now.

People think this could never happen here in the land of plenty.

Sure it can,when the trucks stop rolling, this is what you can look forward to.

Hungry Venezuelans Hunt Dogs, Cats, Pigeons as Food Runs Out


Ramón Muchacho, Mayor of Chacao in Caracas, said the streets of the capital of Venezuela are filled with people killing animals for food.

Through Twitter, Muchacho reported that in Venezuela, it is a “painful reality” that people “hunt cats, dogs and pigeons” to ease their hunger.

Don't miss that bit of irony there, they have Twitter but no food.

The crisis in Venezuela is worsening everyday due in part to shortages reaching 70 percent. This to go along with the world’s highest level of inflation.

The population’s desperation has begun to show, with looting and robberies for food increasing all the time. This Sunday, May 1, six Venezuelan military officials were arrested for stealing goats to ease their hunger, as there was no food at the Fort Manaure military base.



The week before, various regions of the country saw widespread looting of shopping malls, pharmacies, supermarkets and food trucks, all while people chanted “we are hungry.”

The Venezuelan Chamber of Food (Cavidea) said many businesses only have 15 days worth of inventory. Production has been effected as a result of a shortage of raw materials, as well as exhausted national and international supply resources.

This is the result of Socialism and the a government wholly dependent on oil for it's income, when the price of oil has dropped like a hot rock in the last year.

There is no light at the end of the tunnel here and you can start looking any day now for calls for the international community to start calling it a crisis and asking to send aid by the boat load.


You can also start expecting calls for the overthrow of their government any day now.

The Barnhardt Axiom Applies To All Politicians


I had heard of Ann Bernhardt a few times, read some of her stuff and have to say the lady is pretty damn sharp.

I found mention of The Bernhardt Axiom over at WRSA a while back and had kind of let it sink to the back of my mind. I knew what it was , it's just something that seems so damn obvious once it's been pointed out to you because your gut has been telling it to you for years without it ever having come to the front of your mind so that you kind of go, OH YEAH!
Well, now you have a name for that gut feeling.

THE BARNHARDT AXIOM:

The fact that a given person is holding or seeking high-level public office is, in and of itself, proof that said person is morally and/or psychologically UNFIT to hold public office.



Think about some of these clowns we have seen running for office the last few elections and then nod your head.
Painfully obvious now, isn't it?

Well, she had a post clear back in December addressing this concerning Paul Ryan and the Rogue Force personified himself, Mr. Donald Trump that I must have missed earlier but she nailed it.

Yeeaah. You know how you coulda seen YEARS IN ADVANCE the fact that Paul Ryan is a lying psychopath who would gleefully assrape his own grandmother, or an entire planet of grandmothers, for a nickel?
The Barnhardt Axiom.
You realize this applies every bit as strongly to Trump too, right?  Tell me you are not so stupid as to believe for one second that Trump would actually do ANY of the things he is talking about. He’s just smart enough to know what y’all want to hear, and is saying it.  You know how I know that Trump will never follow through on anything he is saying?
BECAUSE. HE. IS. RUNNING. FOR. POLITICAL. OFFICE. IN. A. NATION. THAT NO. LONGER. EXISTS.
Remember, the only thing that actually WANTS to be in a cesspit is a PIECE OF SHIT.

So everybody that's all excited about Trump and what is falling out of his mouth?

I want you to remember three fucking words here.

HOPE AND CHANGE.......

I'll be honest here, I think Hillary Clinton would finish this country. I really do.
It's already just a marketing instrument, the country we were born in doesn't exist anymore but she would destroy even the illusion that they find so useful.

America, Land Of The Free......shit.

So you pretty much have the same choice we get every four years, two evils.

The only difference this time is one of those evils is not the vetted, tamed and properly restrained career politician candidate that the political elites in this country want so badly.

This time we have a Free Agent with self control issues who is not yet beholden to the political masters tending to the business of those who really do run this country.

That scares the shit out of the PTB.

It should scare the shit out of you too.

I have heard exactly Jack Fucking Shit from this guy that I won't be able to point to in a year and ask, what happened with that?

Gonna build a wall, gonna Make America Great Again.

Seriously?

There are 320,000,000 million people in this country, give or take a few million illegals,not to mention we control a MASSIVE empire that wraps all the way around the planet, have treaties, vendettas and general fuckery going on 24/7/365.
The biggest military the world has ever seen and thousands of interests to protect. One third of the population doesn't have a fucking job and the rest of us are getting worked to death and getting paid stagnant wages for it that they take a third of right off the top to keep the fucking doors open on this enterprise.

Now think about all that and then take a serious fucking look at what we have for a choice of who we want to run this whole show.

Grandma Cankles, the lyingest career politician/criminal mastermind you could possibly imagine,


or....


Bubba Trump.


We are so fucked.

Happy Mothers Day Ladies

It's kind of hard to believe but I do know of a couple of ladies at least who do read this blog because of the comments they leave.

They are intelligent too.
It kind of surprises me because I can be a bit crude to put it mildly but I'm not stupid either.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank them and all the Moms out there, without whom none of us would be here.

So just this once I'll post a little Beefcake in their honor.

Have some Clint Walker ladies and I thank you for stopping by my humble little corner of the web.

I Have Some Concert T Shirts As Old As Their Parents

From bands these little shits never heard of.

They have absolutely no clue as to how fucked they are going to be.

Friday, May 6, 2016

She's Old EnoughTo Vote Now!

This is Bitsy, she used to be my Parents cat and we wound up with her.
She recently turned 18 years old as near as anyone can tell. They got her after she was full grown, she just wandered into the yard one day and stayed.


I caught her out back soaking up some sun, she's a good cat, loves to lay across my legs when I am sitting in the recliner and will actually use her front paw to try and pry my legs apart if I happen to have my ankles crossed so she can get comfortable.

She was de-clawed long ago and is as mellow as you could ever want a cat to be.

Is Hillary Going To Skate On The Email Investigation?

Would anyone be surprised if she did?
I sure as hell wouldn't be.


Officials: Scant evidence that Clinton had malicious intent in handling of emails

 



By Matt Zapotosky May 5 at 3:36 PM

Prosecutors and FBI agents investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email server have so far found scant evidence that the leading Democratic presidential candidate intended to break classification rules, though they are still probing the case aggressively with an eye on interviewing Clinton herself, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

FBI agents on the case have been joined by federal prosecutors from the same office that successfully prosecuted 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui — and who would handle any Edward Snowden case, should he ever return to the country, according to the U.S. officials familiar with the matter. And in recent weeks, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Virginia and their FBI counterparts have been interviewing top Clinton aides as they seek to bring the case to a close.

CNN reported Thursday that longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin was among those interviewed. A lawyer for Abedin did not immediately return an email seeking comment.

[How Clinton’s email scandal took root]

The involvement of the U.S. Attorney’s Office is not indicative that charges are imminent or even likely. One official said prosecutors are wrestling with the question of whether Clinton intended to violate the rules, and so far, the evidence seemed to indicate she did not.

How many times have I seen in the last three or four months that there were multiple instances of Classified, Top Secret and Beyond Top Secret emails found on her server?

But there's no intent there so she is free to go?

That's exactly what this article is trying to say.

There's just that little part in there saying that Federal Prosecutors have now joined the FBI in this investigation.

That doesn't sound to me like anyone is just going to skate.

So what's it gonna be here fellas?

You know damn good and well I would love to see that woman squirming in her chair under cross examination.

A nice Frog March out of the courtroom in handcuffs would be the cherry on top.

It's hard to say at this point, the FEEBs have their asses on the line here and they know it.

They are holding their cards pretty close to their vest at this point because like someone recently said, You only get one shot at The Queen.

I hope they make that shot count.

In Case The Facts Have Escaped You, The Electoral College Votes For Who Gets To Be President

The Electoral College is populated by these so called Delegates you keep hearing about. These Delegates are who you vote for.
The procedure for electing the President and Vice President are laid out in the Twelfth Amendment.
Selection

Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution requires each state legislature to determine how electors for the state are to be chosen, but it disqualifies any person holding a federal office, either elected or appointed, from being an elector.[25] Under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, any person who has sworn an oath to support the United States Constitution in order to hold either a state or federal office, and later rebelled against the United States, is disqualified from being an elector. However, the Congress may remove this disqualification by a two-thirds vote in each House.

Candidates for elector are nominated by their state political parties
in the months prior to Election Day. In some states, the electors are nominated in primaries, the same way that other candidates are nominated. In some states, such as Oklahoma, Virginia and North Carolina, electors are nominated in party conventions. In Pennsylvania, the campaign committee of each candidate names their candidates for elector (an attempt to discourage faithless electors).[26]

Since the Civil War, all states have chosen presidential electors by popular vote. This process has been normalized to the point that the names of the electors appear on the ballot only in a handful of states.[4][27]


The Tuesday following the first Monday in November has been fixed as the day for holding federal elections, called the Election Day.[28] Forty eight states and Washington, D.C., employ the "winner-takes-all method", each awarding its electors as a single bloc. Maine and Nebraska use the "congressional district method", selecting one elector within each congressional district by popular vote and selecting the remaining two electors by a statewide popular vote. This method has been used in Maine since 1972 and in Nebraska since 1996.[3]

The current system of choosing electors is called the "short ballot". In most states, voters choose a slate of electors, and only a few states list on the ballot the names of proposed electors. In some states, if a voter wants to write in a candidate for president, the voter is also required to write in the names of proposed electors.[26]

After the election each state prepares seven Certificates of Ascertainment, each listing the candidates for president and vice president, their pledged electors, and the total votes each candidacy received.[29] One certificate is sent, as soon after Election Day as practicable, to the National Archivist in Washington D.C. The Certificates of Ascertainment are mandated to carry the State Seal, and the signature of the Governor (in the case of the District of Columbia, the Certificate is signed by the Mayor of the District of Columbia[30]).

My Bold.

This is why the Republicans were so very hard behind Cruz, they had someone who they could use as a pretty face to Rat Fuck Trump with by having someone the delegates could throw their votes at regardless of the popular vote.

I have been asked who I am voting for in this Presidential Election.

I'm not going to bother with it.

The system is rigged to begin with and neither of the two most popular candidates represent my beliefs anyway.

Trump is a Carpetbagger with no specific platform and Hillary is a proven criminal enterprise.

The country we grew up in is dead and we are all just Free Range prisoners wasting time on the charade of electing the warden.

I have better things to do.

The only reason I pay attention to this farce is from a sense of morbid curiosity and the entertainment value I get from observing much ado about nothing.

It's very much like watching a Soap Opera.
A very expensive and elaborate one.

A Brief Message To The GOP Elite Strategists

Ya fucked around and found out, didn't ya?

Your dreams of Rat Fucking Trump with a contested convention just went up in smoke.


My message?

Eat a bag of dicks on your way out.

The Fishing Trip AAR

It was gorgeous yesterday after he wind died down in the morning. Sunny, downright hot in the afternoon. At one point I pretty much had a five mile stretch of the Columbia river all to myself it seemed. No one on the dock, not a tug boat, speed boat, fishing boat or water ski to be seen. If it wasn't for the fact that Highway 14 was a couple hundred yards away it would have been perfect.

The fish must have had other things to do though. I caught one tiny little dude all day.


Doesn't matter, it was the peace and quiet I was after.
I finished up the paperback, had some Chicken On A Stick for lunch and just relaxed all damn day.

It was great. I'll be doing that again here real soon.

Gone Fishing

I went yesterday afternoon, didn't even get a nibble.

It was great.

Going again today, taking the Rat.
It's supposed to get up to 85 degrees.
I don't give a damn if I catch a fish or not, it's nice to get away for a bit.
I took these with my cell phone,this is on the dock at Washougal, my old stomping grounds.




Hopefully I will get some of the wildlife today, more than likely going to get sunburned too.
I was talking to someone the other day that knows me really well and I was lamenting the fact that I hadn't been doing anything but work for a long time.
They told me I needed to get the hell off the internet, go fishing and take a book to read.
I used to be a voracious reader and can't even remember the last time I read a book.

Like I said, this person knows me well.

As you can see, I am taking their advice.
