‘Good grief’: Olympic Games hands out over 200,000 condoms in Paris And cardboard beds that collapse under weight... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9h7QY3ynd0

I got the cards so I don't have to wait in a queue every time I hop on the MRT and BTS. At peak times, it's quite a queue. For that, I had to whip out my passport. Gladly. Edit: I'd add that having a card, I can change my mind mid-journey and hop off at a different destination.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Saturday that the global transition to a low-carbon economy requires $3 trillion in new capital each year through 2050, far above current annual financing, but that filling the gap is the biggest economic opportunity of the 21st century. Yellen said in Belem, Brazil's Amazon gateway city, that reaching net-zero emissions goals remained a top priority for the Biden-Harris administration and this would require leadership far beyond U.S. borders. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/sustainable-finance-reporting/yellen-says-3-trillion-needed-annually-climate-financing-far-more-than-current-2024-07-27/ That's $78,000,000,000,000 by 2050. Then, adjust for inflation... No comment... Edit: Someone please check to see if I got the zeros right. Hard to count that high.

I didn't even ask for it. They looked at the age on my passport that I had to present to update an old card from Pre-Covid. They gave me an Elder Card instead.

Sorry for the confusion. Those are 2 separate statements. BIC just makes the pens. The ones that a court case in Georgia demonstrated can be used to reprogram the voting machines. There are printers in every state waiting to know whose names will go on the ballots. And how many will be sent to the mules. There's still a good chance they'll throw her under the bus at (or even before) the DNC convention if her numbers don't look good.

BIC is running three shifts at their pen factory. But they still don't know what name to put on the ballots.

Water long since under the bridge. In my adult life, I've chosen black roommates, in 3 states. But I still avoid crowds of angry black people. And so did my roommates.

Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) summarized it pretty well in his book "Loserthink" I'm distilling and paraphrasing, but I think the gist is here: People with good arguments, use them. People with no arguments, resort to personal attacks and name calling. https://www.amazon.com/Loserthink-Untrained-Brains-Ruining-America/dp/0593083520 Of course, Adams was called out for advising white folks to avoid large groups of angry black people, after the Summer of Love and mostly peaceful beatings and arson. Which I thought was pretty good advice, having been mugged twice in my school years when I happened across groups of angry blacks, while trying to mind my own business. BTW, it's a good book, and I get nothing if you click the Amazon link.

I don't know. But that was the big insult when I was in grade school.

Your Mama wears army boots.

You give yourself away when you call it a bipartisan bill. Unless you can name the Repubs that were involved, you're just puking up Dem/MSM talking points. Can you name even a few Repubs?

You mean like Biden's been blaming the Repubs for his border fiasco?

I got on Obamacare. Cost me $1,400 a month with a $5,000 deductible. Not exactly the Affordable Care we were promised, and they still claim it to be... Not hard to imagine some of his programs were derailed while he fought off ridiculous impeachment attempts and had to fight the Dems at every turn on the border.

And next year, when a different mob is in power and they censor what you agree with?

People are always more willing to fight using someone else's blood and treasure than their own.

I think it's more accurate to say that the majority of Ukrainians want someone to fight. Whether that be their neighbors from next door, or cannon fodder sent in from other countries. But they're not so keen on fighting themselves. Or their loved ones. If that's the way the question was phrased, the results would look very different.

Remind me. Do we like or hate Poles this week? It's hard to keep track. I'm inclined to believe the guy, because the same thing happened to me in Asia, though not in Thailand. And it's a recurring theme when I meet guys who had businesses in Asia. The key word being "had". Past tense.

You picked up real good on those Dem media talking points. Do you have anything that backs any of that up? https://twitter.com/i/status/1816566252376334414 Peter Doocy, asking KJP who's handing out the talking point pamphlets...

Next, you need to do a thread on Biden being "rug pulled" by Obama and Pelosi. If you think Biden stepped down voluntarily, just hours after claiming he was in it for the long haul, I have a bridge for sale.

The Minnesota Freedom Fund, a previously little-known organization that tax forms show raised a staggering $41 million in 2020, was notably promoted in June of that year by then-Sen. Harris, who posted on social media, "If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota." Court records show that the Harris-endorsed MFF was used to bail out violent criminals, including Shawn Michael Tillman of St. Paul, who was sentenced to life in prison this March for first- and second-degree murder. George Howard, another man that the MFF freed, pleaded guilty in 2023 to second-degree murder for shooting and killing another man in 2021 in Minneapolis. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kamala-harris-backed-bail-fund-that-freed-violent-criminals-back-in-spotlight/ar-BB1qqZoK She has some 'splaining to do... Also, for the murders and rapes by the newcomers she was supposed to stop.

Kamala's taking a ride in a trial balloon before the DNC convention. If she polls well, she'll get the nomination. If she polls badly, they'll jerk her out and claim that the voters have spoken. But make no mistake, the Dem elite don't care what the voters want and the country needs. They just want to stay in power.

Not to worry. Kamala, the DNC and the MSM will unburden her from what has come before. They'll lie through their teeth.

That's what Kamala means by "Unburdened by what has come before"

The good news for her is that she doesn't have to worry about any monsters that feast on brains.

I certainly would not want to be the only person standing between HRC and an ice cream cone on a hot day. Let alone between her and the presidency.
