Five days after the LA election, Spencer Pratt falls to third place and a woman who hardly anyone voted for in person, Nithya Raman, totally dominated in mail voting to come in second. No one with a functional brain believes these results.
22 yrs ago today, after a long zoning dispute with local officials that ruined his business, welder Marvin Heemeyer had enough & created the Killdozer.
He destroyed the mayor’s house, the judge’s house, town hall, the police station, & the bank - while avoiding hurting civilians or their property.
Happy Killdozer Day to those who celebrate 🎊

Smokey and the Bandit turns 49 today. If it weren’t for a space saga from a galaxy far, far away, it would’ve been '77’s biggest hit. Burt Reynolds starred, but Jackie Gleason flat-out steals the movie. Now, gimme a diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper, ’cause I’m in a goddamn hurry.
Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
Failed TV host Don Lemon asked me what I tell my kids.
Here’s exactly what I tell them:
You live in the greatest country on Earth.
You are both black and white, which means you carry the strength, history, and legacy of both sides of your family.
Your mother and father love you endlessly.
And the opportunities you have exist because generations of Americans fought, sacrificed, built, and defended this nation.
I do not teach my children victimhood.
I do not teach them to hate America.
I do not teach them that they are oppressed before they even begin life.
I teach them faith, discipline, gratitude, excellence, and personal responsibility.
The race-grifting hustle is dead.
Americans are exhausted by people who became rich convincing others that this country is evil while enjoying every privilege it offers.
I also remember when @ericswalwell went on this platform and claimed Republicans would outlaw my interracial marriage.
Funny how that worked out…
Emily and I are still happily married.
No mobs showed up.
No torches.
No pitchforks.
But Eric did get politically humiliated and ejected from Congress, because that “paragon of virtue,” never lived by the example he tweeted.
Sound familiar, Don?
And by the way, Don, since you’re so interested in parenting, what exactly do you tell your kids? Have any?
Cleo Fields is an “unindicted co-conspirator” in a bribery influence case. All of Louisiana watched FBI video of Cleo shoving $20k in his pockets asking for a piece of paper or envelope to hide the cash on the way out. On top of that, ask him how many times he failed the bar exam. Fields’ career is based on making shady deals. He’s made a very lucrative life for himself as a crony; time to retire.
