Today I got rid of my Alcoholics Anonymous chips. I haven’t “gone back out,” as we used to say in the program. I can never drink again, thanks to my malfunctioning heart. I got rid of them because I’ve been… READ MORE
I see where Elon Musk has delivered his final “sieg heils” to President Scabies and the DC crowd, except this time it wasn’t a one-armed salute but a one-finger salute as he described President Scabies’ “one big, beautiful bill” as a “massive, outrageous, pork-filled … disgusting abomination.”
Was he talking about the spending bill or the president?
At any rate that wasn’t very ladylike of Elon though I can understand his frustration. Now he can go back to blowing up rockets.
Speaking of blowing up, Musk was on Twitter yesterday bragging that Tesla sales in Australia have exploded, and I just have to ask:
What the hell is wrong with you, Australia? Can’t you hold a grudge?
I saw on a video yesterday that crows can carry a grudge for 17 years. (To be honest I didn’t know crows lived that long.) Obviously these were not Australian crows.
I also saw a report that Democrats won a special election in South Carolina by a landslide.
So between the Republican loser in South Carolina and Musk, that’s two losers down, 10,000 to go.
Baby steps, folks. Baby steps.

As an addendum, Stone is single, kills tomatoes and morning glories with ruthless efficiency, once tied the stem of a cocktail cherry in a knot with his tongue, and carries a permanent scar on his chest after having been shot with a paintball gun. He’s in his 60s as of this writing but doesn't look a day over 94.

The other day, somebody gave me a hard time for referring to Donald J. Trump as President Crotch Lice. They told me I would not be able to make my point as long as I was name-calling.
I wanted to ask them: Does the name “soy boy” mean anything to you?
What about “snowflake”?
“Demorat”? Have you heard that one?
“Libtard”?
“Horseface”?
“Crooked Hillary”?
“Sleepy Joe”?
“Kamala on her knees”?
Have you heard any of those names?
The truth is, you guys have done nothing but name-call for the past 10 years, and now you’re going to scold me for giving you a taste of your own medicine? Ha!
You guys clean up your act. Then you can talk to me about name-calling.
Until then, like another social media creator recently said:
Cry harder.

I got a comment on one of my videos the other day, and the person said something to the effect, “If you hate this country so much, why don’t you just get out? Move to another country!”
To that person I would say, I don’t hate this country. I actually love this country. I just don’t like some of the assholes who live here.
This is my country. I was born here. I’m an American, and I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to stay here and fight to reclaim my country.
You people are the ones who want to junk the Constitution. You want to do away with law and order, and ignore the rulings of judges. And you people are the ones who tried to overthrow the government. You remember that?
You’re not Americans. You’re terrorists. You’re anarchists. You’re insurrectionists.
You want ME to leave my own country? Hell no! I’m not going anywhere! I’m staying right here.
If somebody needs to get out, it’s you. You’re not Americans.
You’re traitors.

Oh! Hey! How’s it going?
I’ve been looking for that $5,000 check we were supposed to get from DOGE. Remember that? A month or so ago you couldn’t go online without some MAGAt telling you we were all going to get a $5,000 check courtesy of Big Daddy Trumpazoid and his little buddy Minister of Apartheid Elon Musk. That was going to be our share of all the cutting they did, you know, when they gutted the federal government.
Yeah. Five thousand bucks. Whatever happened to that?
Is it out there in Candyland? Maybe somewhere over the rainbow? In the land of sunshine, lollipops and unicorns? Yeah! Maybe that’s where it is.
And don’t try to tell me you got yours and I’m not getting mine because we all know you didn’t get yours, that it was all part of the mass psychosis you’ve chosen to participate in.
I know one thing: If I do get that $5,000 from DOGE I’m going to invest it in a new venture that’s sure to do gangbuster business once this evil menace has been removed from our lives – it’ll be a counseling service to deprogram MAGA cultists and restore them to some form of functionality so that they become reasonable, intelligent, hard-working and honest American citizens …
… and not MAGA freaks.

Pride Month is coming up, and every year the same thing happens: A bunch of allegedly straight men start complaining, “Gosh, the queers get a whole month to be appreciated, and for the military? Nothing.”
Let me just nip that in the bud before it even gets started.
May is National Military Appreciation Month. The fact that these complainers didn’t know that proves they don’t really give a shit about the military. They just want to bash some gay people. To them I say, “Fuck you.”
Also, there are at least three other days of the year when the military is honored – Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and Armed Forces Day – PLUS a number of other days to honor various aspects of military life, such as Military Spouse Appreciation Day, even Military Dogs Appreciation Day.
I would be remiss in not pointing out that some of these complainers, maybe even many of these complainers, are sneaking around behind their wives’ backs, and their children’s backs, hooking up with other men for purposes of, shall we say, “intimate connection.”
How do I know this? Because I’ve seen them. I actually know some of them. They go on gay hookup apps, like Grindr, and use code such as, “Discretion is a must,” or “Cannot host.” That almost always means they’re married with kids and they don’t want to be exposed as the cheaters, liars and hypocrites they are.
I had one of these guys trap me in his pickup truck and practically beg me to do the nasty with him. He even gave me a passphrase to use on Facebook, because his wife has access to his Facebook account. He said that if I ever messaged him on Facebook, and used that passphrase, he’d be at my place in 5 minutes to do all the things he said he wanted to do.
Invariably, these complainers are conservative MAGA Republicans. The Republican Party is infested with so many repressed homosexuals that last year, during their national convention in Wisconsin, they crashed Grindr trying to arrange their illicit liaisons!
If these complainers would just admit that some people like their coffee black, and other people like their coffee with a little cream and sugar, the world would be a much better place.
Maybe I can say that to them personally, the next time I see them … on Grindr.
