Fake News Round-Up

These people certainly know from smearing & disgusting summaries.

John Nolte / Breitbart:

Netflix Smears ‘Gone with the Wind’ as Racist, Refers Viewers to Black Lives Matter  —  If you look for the 1939 masterpiece Gone with the Wind on Netflix, you'll be smacked across the face as a racist and scolded into seeking out the far left-wing radicals in Black Lives Matter.
Washington Times:   Netflix description for ‘Gone with the Wind’ cites Black Lives Matter

Amanda Harding / The Daily Wire:   Netflix Slaps Bizarre Disclaimer On ‘Gone With The Wind,’ Plugs Black Lives Matter

Cullen Linebarger / The Gateway Pundit:   Netflix Sparks Anger After Social Media Users Notice the Company's Disgusting Summary of All-Time Classic Film “Gone with the Wind”

Fred Topel / UPI:   ‘Gone with the Wind’ coming to 4K UHD in November

All in the eye of the beholder. Some beholders might need their vision corrected w/ a smack across the face. W/ a 2x4.

Not saying there aren't good parts.

Comment of the day:

Wow! Looks like that's where Lindsey got off.

And two complaints about the beeping.

Hump Day Music

Music for humping?Offended yet? Good. You should be. That's the whole damn idea.

Up Just Past The Crack Of Noon ...

... W/ Killing On My Conscience

Not that I'd feel bad if I had killed anyone (And you can't prove nuthin'!); no, it's that there are millions upon millions of subhuman morons who are destroying the world & the planet & deserve death a priori, but I've not killed one of them yet! It's really nagging at me.

Don't get your panties in a twist, moribund losers! I am only the executioner, carrying out the sentence Nature has so deservedly given each & every one of you walking corpses. There. Is that enough for one of you squealing rat informants to call the fucking police again? Far as I'm concerned, you're all fucking squealers until proven otherwise.

P.S.: T. Tex Edwards was the previous occupant of the house I lived in Silver Lake through the mid-1980s & early '90s, before he moved back to Texas. And did anyone call the fucking pigs to have the authors of the song committed? No. Different fucking story w/ me. Open season on Bouffant if he dares to express himself or shares his "feelings". Again, hypocrisy is the greatest sin of all!

"For Jah Never Made No King To Rule Mankind"

"Ruler" my ass! Sen. Scott should get his stupid, ignorant, mentally ill head out of his ass & "realize" the cliché is "leader" of the free world.

And fat deranged Trump is neither. "Jah never appointed no president." To arms,citizens! Time for a Yankee Bastille Day! No kings to rule mankind!![Digby's Blog.]

Orgy Of Consumption Complete*

The TrainWorld tat was there when I woke up, delivered at 1049.

Home Despot divided five items into three deliveries, first sand & the box for fiddly bits (just after 1100) then the alligator clips,

finally, at 1352, the glue & flashlight.

A real damn flashlight (A bright LED that uses three AAAs; almost blinded myself pushing the TRY ME button.) for when I block the light when working, or the dark recesses below.

*For today. Still need ...

"Goofy-Ass Uniforms"

It acknowledges the day Parisians stormed the Bastille fortress and prison in 1789, helping spark the French Revolution that overthrew the monarchy. Ukrainian fighter pilots and troops took pride of place the celebrations Tuesday showcasing support for Ukraine and symbolically flexing European military muscle.

Take that, puto Putin! As noted in the item directly below.

Off With Their Heads!!

The Bloody Standard is Raised!

New version cut w/ the Prague Symphonic Ensemble. Were there no French aggregations available?C'mon, Yanks! How much longer can you wait?

Déjà Le Quatorze Juillet?

I have never seen so many goofy-ass uniforms. Check the leaders & spouses too. Everyone nasty, I'm sure, save Zelenskyy, who's also the only one I recognize other than Macron.

Something To Think About

Air Force Veteran Lindsey Graham’s Death Shows Double Standard Between Military, Congress

The military tracks the health of those guarding its weapons. The Senate asks the public to trust what it cannot see.

[Ooops! Here's the link. Pardon me.] Oddly unmentioned is the Executive Branch office-holder who has the nuclear codes, the President. Why don't we run the country like a business, w/ mandatory retirement at 65?

How Do They Do It?

Originally expected Friday the 17th; now, tomorrow!

How does it get to Avondale from Bethpage (just northeast of Levittown) in 42 hrs. & one min.? Flown to PHX, then to Avondale for sorting, & is then trucked to Los Angeles? Hell of a lead-foot to get it to L.A. in four hrs. & 47 mins. Maybe it's flown from PHX to LAX & takes that long to be scanned. As if anything makes any sense anymore.

Anyway, Tues. beats Fri. Shameless plug for TrainWorld; good prices, large selection, & shipping one's stuff by USPS beats the glibertarian weasels at FedEx & UPS by days! My patience grows thinner as I mature. 

In other interactions w/ the outside world, fuck alla you moronic chumps. My patience grows razor-thin dealing w/ lying cheats, scumbags & rat bastards.

And to hell w/ the law that won't allow Home Despot to deliver spray paint. (Although Rust-oleum shipped me spray cans directly from Illinois that I ordered from Home Despot.) Now I have to drag my recently scrawny ass to the actual store & wait for an orange-aproned wage-slave to unlock the heavy-duty orange cage it's kept in.

What a fascinating existence. And why do I share this?Rocking live version.

More Meat Monday

Indeed, Nothing But Meat

Raking Nowhere Man Graham Over The Coals

Steve Schmidt does a fine job.

Lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention.

Let it be known for all time that he knew exactly what Donald Trump was from the very beginning, and chose him over his country:

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed ... and we will deserve it.

I believe Donald Trump would be an absolute, utter disaster for the Republican Party, destroy conservatism as we know it.

We would get wiped out and it would take generations to overcome a Trump candidacy.

Donald Trump is not going to be the nominee of the Republican party. If he is, that’s the end of the Republican Party.

Trump is an interloper and a demagogue of the greatest proportion.

When Donald Trump attacked America, and tried to burn down the republic built by Washington, saved by Lincoln and redeemed by King, he was aided by Lindsey Graham who supported the lies, dismissed the insanity and sought personal gain from it all.

Lindsey Graham was a pathetic man, a true cynic and a faithless servant of the Constitution.

He was a simple man to understand and a tragic one. He lacked a moral core and any sense of right and wrong. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made.

Let there be no confusion about what Lindsey Graham was. There was no complexity to the man, nor much in the way to plumb and analyze about his journey to the bottom of the Trump sewer.

Josh Marshall makes the same follower, not leader observation. Probably won't hear much about what an effing sheep he was in the corporate press. See? [Don't click. Started autoplaying fake news.]

Media ghouls, commentators across political aisle mock Lindsey Graham’s death with ‘good riddance’ posts

Graham, who served South Carolina in the Senate since 2003, died Saturday at 71 after a brief illness

Good riddance indeed to the two-faced twit. Apparently he wasn't under much medical care, or was a victim of malpractice. At least he died happily, knowing that cowardly air attacks ("The War") on Iran continue on the telebision.

M. Bouffant, "Media Ghoul". I like it.

Dropping Like Flies

Attempted 2016 presidential candidate. Dropped out before the primaries began.

New York Times:
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, Dies at 71  —  Mr. Graham died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said.  He served in the Senate for more than two decades.Dan Diamond / Washington Post:

Lindsey Graham, longtime South Carolina senator, dies at 71  —  Graham, first elected to the House in 1994 and the Senate in 2002, was running for reelection this year.  He died of a “brief and sudden illness,” his office said.  —  Lindsey Graham, a longtime Republican senator from South Carolina …

Bloomberg:   US Senator Lindsey Graham Dies at 71 After Sudden Illness

Outlived another wretched bastard. How's that other sick cracker doing?

Music For Painting Plastic

Has other uses as well.Not only the version, but the original!Again, the original. You get it all here! I prefer this arrangement anyway.The 20-odd ft. of butcher paper used for packing makes a good surface for painting.

It Arrived!

Delivered at 1025, US$78.95, plus $32.94 S&H & $10.90 tax worth of plastic & nickel/steel from The People's Republic of China. Now I will cut it open & show you every item, one at a time. NOT!! Sweet Blood of Jesus, what is duller than an "unboxing" video? This is all track, nothing interesting, & now I have to paint all 24+ linear feet of rails & ties before I can try my luck laying it.

Want a mind-numbing video of that?

I am disappointed that the Postal Service didn't put it on a 'plane but trucked it across the country. Expecting some interesting plastic & electronics Fri., which left N.Y.C. this a.m.; maybe the P.S. will send that on a 'plane. I can at least hope for Thurs. delivery, air mail or not.

Jeeze, I'm like a consumer. When did that happen?

Holding Pattern

Definitely have to wait for the flex track."Expected Delivery" is Monday, but the pkg. left PHX suburb Avondale at 0822 today, so my optimistic heart hopes it's already in town & will be at the Nat "King" Cole station in time to be delivered tomorrow. If not, an exciting wknd. of replacing plastic wheelsets & couplers w/ metal ones & adjusting coupler heights.

Auto-focus my ass, SONY.

Even the Catalina is in a holding pattern atop the desk.Minutes later: My stuff arrived at the L.A. Reg. Dist. Ctr. at 1916, so my optimism may not be wrong. Sad when all one's optimism is because one's somewhat wiser than a Postal Service robot.

Friday F.O. & D.

A finger, or even two, are not enough to express my sheer disgust at this wk.'s pointless bullshit.

Friday Freak Out

Supposedly many big names played in Eckstine's band before they became big names.

Inanity & Idiocy Become Exponential

Talking Points Memo:
A Pro-Trump Christian Group Wants to Put a Cross on the Moon
Bennito L. Kelty / Raw Story:   Pro-Trump group has plans for a robotic lunar cross — and Elon Musk holds the key: report
The Register:   Ex-NASA boss points out small flaw in Moon landing plan: No lander

Stupidest thing ever? Sounds familiar.Do these buffoons live in an '80s &'90s cartoon universe? Shouldn't they be reading their "Good Book" (All other books are bad, dontcha know!?!) rather than watching telebision? 

Not that I think carving "CHAS." into the moon would be a bad idea, but what do I know?

Of course there's no lander yet. Bezos (Blue Origin) & Musk (SpaceX) are idiots. Are there no contractors other than the ones who bribe Fat Don?

You-Know-What Your You-Know-Who

Phony Tee Vee War Renewed

"Clash of civilizations" my sweet ass. Buncha grade-school sissies throwing rocks at each other.Men would put boots on the ground, throw punches & kick. How long have we been attacking Iran from the air? Off & on since 1987.
