HOA crazies;
In Clear Water Florida, an HOA has established two new regulations.
First, a complaint from neighbors of 31 Clearwater says the door mat font has been flagged as agressive... It says, "No Soliciting".. several neighbors found it confrontational!
Secondly, the same HOA ruled that American flags could not be flown in the neighborhood. Same reason, some neighbors found our flag confrontational.
Flags from other countries could be flown.
WTF?

Another clueless Socialist:
Senate Democrat avoids answering where socialism has been 'beneficial' after far-left candidates win in NYC.
Delaware Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester avoided answering where socialism has been "beneficial" when giving her thoughts on the recent New York primary elections.
Blunt Rochester was asked on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Wednesday morning about the results of the primaries where three socialist candidates not only won their elections but defeated two incumbent lawmakers.
Rather than comment on what impact this could have on the broader Democratic Party, Blunt Rochester celebrated the wins as a whole.
"Where has socialism ever worked, senator?" CNBC host Joe Kernen asked.
"Is that another question or is that for the next interview?" Blunt Rochester responded.
Refusing to answer the question, she then ended the interview with a quick pivot.
Kernen repeated his question, to which Blunt Rochester replied, "Well, when you have me come back on we can talk about all the races across the country."

From the mouth of Mayor Brainless Johnson.
In a news conference about the 40 shootings and 7 deaths over the Juneteenth weekend, Mayor Brandon Johnson quickly pivoted away from the subject.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has consistently framed homicides and fatal violence against transgender women—which his administration terms "transfemicide"—as a critical safety crisis demanding targeted city intervention.
The only problem is that have been no recorded homicides of transgenders in Chicago in 2025 and 2026.
Nice try Brainless!

Time to probably lose a view friends, maybe.
There has been a lot and increasing talk about reparations lately.
A few questions:
Over 20 Million men served in the Union Army. Do their descendants pay reparations?
There were approximately 500,000 free blacks (Not slaves) in the US... do their relatives receive reparations? Why?
Approximately 74% of the white population of the South did not own slaves. They were merchants, barbers, blacksmiths, store owners and many small farmers.
My own relatives farmed a small farm in Alabama raising crops, pigs, chickens and milk cows to provide for the large family. Do I owe reparations.
There were 11,000 Black slave owners in the US. Do they owe reparations to the blacks?
There were 10,000 black slaves owned by Native Americans. So, they owe reparations to the black community?
Do the 6 million blacks who have immigrated to the US since after the civil war be eligible for reparations?
Finally, if my great, great, grandfather committed murder, am I accountable for his crime. No.
If a black man committed this same crime, his relatives responsible for his crime? No.
If my great, great, grandfather never owned slaves, am I responsible for his actions? No!

Oh, a black Representative, Summer Lee (D-PA). is calling for blacks to boycott all elections until reparations are paid.
Not too smart... but what did you expect.

On Pride Night, three San Francisco Giants pitchers wrote a bible verse on their caps. Not the verse but just the book, chapter and verse.
MLB objected and redemanded the three'
I bet if the three had written "Free Palestine" on their caps, MLB would not have said a thing.
The York Revolution, an independent minor league baseball team based in Pennsylvania, forfeited its scheduled Pride Night game on Thursday, June 18, 2026, after a majority of players refused to wear rainbow-themed uniforms as mandated by the league.
Paraphrasing a Waylon Jennings song again, "I think we've carried this Pride shit a little too far."

Another Carnival Cruise Lines adventure:
"Carnival Cruise passengers banned for ending trip to the Bahamas with a morning brawl"
Perhaps the disappointment of going an entire Carnival Cruise without a brawl got to them. Whatever the reason, more than a dozen passengers got involved in a wild fight while waiting in the customs line at Port Miami.
A woman dressed in a black strapless dress ducked under a line divider and started throwing punches at a woman in her pajamas. If that doesn’t set the scene, nothing will.
A third woman jumped in, pulled some hair, then all hell broke loose. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers put an end to the madness, or as some might refer to it, the perfect end to their Carnival Cruise experience.
While they avoided taking a trip to jail, 16 people didn’t avoid making the cruise line’s "Do Not Sail List," according to a spokesperson.
It's like a trip to Walmart, but on steroids and with excursions.
And, yes, the video clearly showed all the participants were of one particular race.

Another Senator exposed:
Dem Sen. Ruben Gallego charged campaign for Disney vacations, Super Bowl expenses.
On Sunday, the press reported that Arizona's Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego had apparently not been a good economic steward for his constituents and donors.
In short, Gallego is accused of using donor funds in his campaign war chest for personal expenses.
Politico reported, "Sen. Ruben Gallego used campaign cash to fund luxury outings with his wife and to care for his children since launching his campaign for Senate in 2023."
Gallego had used that money to help fund family trips to Miami, Disneyland and Disney World.
Gallego is also accused of using the aforementioned PAC and his main campaign committee to pay off $18,000 in childcare since 2019 including payments to his mother-in-law.
More eyebrows were raised when Politico reported that Gallego had actually used a joint campaign account with disgraced former California Rep. Eric Swalwell -- a fellow Democrat -- to accomplish the very important task of attending the 2023 Super Bowl in Arizona with his wife.
“He just spends his campaign account like it’s his personal slush fund,” an anonymous person close to the Gallego family told Politico. “He’s using campaign cash to live a luxury lifestyle.”
Of course, the Senators office has denied all the accusations... nothing from the Senator himself.
Another Eric Swalwell, minus the affairs.
I hate politicians.

There has been a lot of talk lately on taxing the highest earners more.
The top 10% of the earners pay 72% of our total taxes.
The bottom 50% of earners pay 3% of our total taxes.
The top 50% of earners in total pay 97% of our total tax revenues.
Is there something wrong with this?
What is your answer"

Well, she supposedly is friends with Meghan. Learns quick.
Kim Kardashian branded 'diabolical' as she flogs $65,000 second-hand jeans on-line.
Kim Kardashian is being slammed by fans online for charging $65,000 for her secondhand jeans. The sale is listed by the reality star, 45, on Kardashian Kloset, the luxury designer resale website, where members of the Kardashian-Jenner family sell their personal, pre-owned clothing, shoes, and accessories to the public.
A user reflected on the jeans sale on Reddit, writing, "They no doubt get all these items free or heavily discounted and then have the gall to sell these on, they really are so tacky and greedy."
Another chimed in, "Isn't she a millionaire?" And a third person said, "The Kardashian Kloset disgusts me. God forbid they donate those clothes or some of their absurd income to people in need. They’re already insanely wealthy, but no, they have to sell their used stuff for even more money."
And someone else joked, "Yes I’m going to wear the $65K jeans to the bbq.
Reportedly, Meghan has not made an offer.
Sounds all too familiar!

Sickening!
32-year-old Abdul Muhammad and his 10-year-old “wife.” Cash on the tray, hand on the child. A child is not a bride. There is no culture, tradition, or religion that should excuse the exploitation of children.

Can you say, "Snap, Crackle and Pop?"
On June 22, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson blocked the Trump administration from allowing states to ban Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients from purchasing soft drinks, candy, and sugary snacks with their benefit.
So, is she is an advocacy for a fatter and unhealthy America or her common sense overruled by her extreme case of TDS?

Mayor Brandon (Brainless) Johnson always talks about how safe Chicago is.
During the extended Juneteenth holiday weekend in Chicago, at least 47 people were shot, resulting in 8 fatalities.
Blacks certainly know how to throw a party.
Safe?
Johson calls them "Isolated Incidences"..... all 877 of them so far in 2026.

Meghan Markle desperate for Taylor Swift wedding invite - but got snubbed.
The wedding guest list has been finalized. Celebrity journalist Rob Shutter claims the Duchess of Sussex was extremely eager to secure an invite to the Hollywood wedding of the year, but the pop icon is reportedly keen to maintain her distance from Meghan.
A source told Mr. Shutter on his Substack, "This was never just about attending a wedding. "For Meghan, it was about getting closer to Taylor. Right now, nobody has more cultural influence than Taylor Swift, and Meghan has wanted that connection for years."
Meghan's fascination with Taylor Swift stretches back several years. The Duchess of Sussex reportedly sought to feature the singer on an episode of her Archetypes podcast on Spotify, but Taylor refused the invitation.
However, according to the journalist, Taylor is "famously selective" about who she allows into her inner circle, and unfortunately for the duchess, she does not make the cut.
"Taylor values loyalty and genuine relationships. If she senses someone is interested in access rather than authentic friendship, she keeps her distance," the insider added.
"She desperately wanted an invitation. The missing invitation told Meghan everything she needed to know. Taylor made her choice, and Meghan wasn't part of it," the source concluded.

A couple of interesting things happening in Europe.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing immense pressure to resign, with widespread speculation that he could announce a timetable for his departure as early as Monday, June 22.
Broad public dissatisfaction over stagnant economic growth and his failed lax immigration policy has intensified.
Also, the European Parliament passed a vast overhaul of migration rules aimed at fast-tracking the deportation of undocumented migrants and rejected asylum seekers. The legislation passed with a 418-218 vote, equipping member states with stronger enforcement tools, longer entry bans, and the controversial ability to process deportations in third-party countries.
