Good News

After losing my effing wallet I was unable to cancel my TAP Card. Now I can.

Metro announced Friday it has restored TAP card sales and reloads, allowing customers to again add fares, purchase new virtual cards and/or reload existing TAP cards via the TAP app, Apple wallet or through TAP vendors.

Customers who had been recently seeking to add funds to TAP cards via Metro’s website or customer service lines could have experienced issues due to Metro limiting access on internal administrative computer systems because of unauthorized activity.

Rail and bus service and transit safety and security systems were unaffected by the breach, according to Metro.

Still have to obtain a new one. And a new fucking Calif. I.D. card. Money & a visit to the DMV.

Have concluded that the wallet loss was due to weight loss. I have nowhere near the booty I used to (I sit on something hard like a bus bench & now feel my no-longer-padded pelvis on the metal.) & my 42" waist pants are baggy (been poking new holes in my belt regularly) & I s'pect I half-inserted the wallet in my hip pocket & didn't hear it hit the pavement as I was sporting headphones. Fuck me!!

Finn Hartnett / New Republic:   Trump Shared Totally Made-Up Conversation in Cabinet Meeting

Uh, Fox, he didn't "go viral" because what he said was so brilliant. It's because it's a load of pointless crap that didn't belong in a cabinet neeting, & people were stupified by it. As if he really were handing US$1,000 gold pens to children. And are the effing pens even actual Sharpies®? Sharpie® has never heard of this conversation, so where the hell he'd get them?

LATER: Analysis (calling Kegsbreath the "Sec'y. of Tetrosterone" is deep analysis) & not just of the Sharpie® spiel, via B.J. Why didn't I think of "Not-So-Sharpie®"?

At the Ku Klux Klownclave:"Trump's War" indeed.

Youth: I was "attracted" to Trump. Paging Dr. Freud, Dr. Freud to the white courtesy 'phone, please. And hey, Valenzuela was cool.

As for the wretched: You old bat, it was Saudis who hit the World Trade Center, not Iranians. Do you even know there's a difference? I don't believe having been "at Lackland Air Force Base" during the attacks gives you any special insight either.

I was going to type something about the possibility of a happy medium far from isolationism & imperialism, but Junior gave it away. "Furrin wars, but only against crappy little countries that can't defend themselves." Fuck you, twerp.

‘Appalling’ Video Shows Protesters Cheer American Troops Returning Home From Iran War ‘In Caskets’  —  Shocking video from a radical anti-Iran war protest in Philadelphia showed participants explicitly supporting Islamic terror groups and calling for “cheers” every time an American servicemember comes home “in a casket.”

"Shocking, apalling & abhorrent." Not the war of agression against a sovereign nation & the deaths of thousnds of its civilians, but people not supporting it. Who are the "terrorist sympathizers" again?

Unexpected Consequences

From Blackhawk #55, November 1955.

Via Political Wire:

Wall Street Journal: “Billions of dollars of highly sophisticated military equipment has been lost or significantly damaged since the U.S. and Israel began striking thousands of targets across Iran more than three weeks ago. The bulk of the damage on the ground has been caused by Iranian ballistic missiles and drones.”

“Battle damage and replacement of losses over the first three weeks of the war likely cost roughly $1.4 billion to $2.9 billion”

WSJ subhead:

Radar systems and aircraft worth billions of dollars have been damaged and destroyed by Iranian attacks, friendly-fire incidents or accidents

Remember chumps, you are paying for this murderous waste, fraud & abuse, not your billionaire masters. You've been had again!

The suckers wonder how & why this keeps happening to them, but they can't think any deeper.

Or is he a moronic retard?

President Donald Trump interrupts a Cabinet meeting dominated by Iran war, airport security lines and shaky global markets to brag how he uses Sharpie markers to save the government money.

Priorities: Billions of dollars for war crimes & murder, but not a penny for Sharpies.

Bastards!

Someone must have found my wallet in the half-block between the corner & the bunker, but they've made no attempt to return it, or turn it in at said store.

Fuck every earthling to hell. What heartless, inconsiderate bastards!!

Now can I start killing indiscriminately? Haven't I put up w/ enough damn bullshit from you all for long enough?
I think I have.

Can't Quit Once You Start

The manufacturer wants US$25.95 for the original plain structure.And what was spent on details & surroundings? The door lights are $17.00 MSRP, & a good 80-odd dollars for the pole lights, 'though there'd be two left over. That length of "chain link fence" not inexpensive either. Even the vents & miscellany lying about could total 20+ bucks.

Not judging at all, for once. (Although some weathering would be the final improvement.) I could judge the companies, but it's a niche market divided into many smaller niches & I doubt any huge fortunes are being made.

Having a problem w/ targeting, "War Secretary" drunk? You think you & the Nazi scum w/ whom you assocate deserve mercy? Hah!!

Screwed Myself?

The culprit, or victim.

I have somehow misplaced my wallet somewhere in the bunker, or lost it in the street. Not in my pants, not visible anywhere in here. Nowhere around the desk, which is where I last vaguely remember it & where it would ordinarily be. I used my debit card last night, so I think the effing thing is somewhere in here, but where the fucking hell did I put it, & why did I put it where I can't find it??

Totally paralyzed; can't get cash, can't use my bus pass, need various ID cards, yada.

I doubt someone got in & then walked out w/ it while locking the door from the inside, but I stopped the card anyway.

Not impossible it fell out of my pocket on my way back from the corner store; wish I could remember if I used the card online after getting 7-Up, in which case it's madness or burglary, or prior, when it's mere idiot loss. Yet I'm sure I wouldn't have put it in a drawer for some reason, or forgotten that I had. And I've looked in most drawers already.

One consolation: Wasn't a dollar in it.

Nonetheless: Fuck fuck fuck!!! Last damn thing I need is bullshit like this.

It's Over

Spring has barely sprung yet spring training is over. The season kicks off Thurs.; tomorrow there is a single bogus (Yeah, it counts.) sneak preview or something game between Noo Yawk's Yanks & San Francsico's former New York Giants, the Giants. Which will be on fucking Netflix, keeping me & millons of other impoverished or just thrifty Americans from seeing it.

Millions for defense, but not a penny for streaming! Will there be adverts as well as the streaming tariff?

And who will loan me their password?

Third One (That's Been Seen)

Is the planet under attack? Planet hell, this only seems to be happening in these United Snakes.Ohio, Texas & Washington so far. Could we get some East Coast action? New York City, or Washington, D.C.? And large enough to leave a crater, if that's not too much trouble?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Where's your "due process" & "habeas corpus" now, you filthy hypocrites? WHY DON'T YOUR LIES APPLY TO ME, DAMNIT?

If your bullshit laws & bullshit Constitution no longer apply to the pigs, or the squealing rats, & College Behavioral Health & its equivalents are allowed to profit from my misfortune from taxpayer funds why can't I threaten & kill any of you two-faced bastards? There is no justice!
