Have a Resplendent and Wedgie Free Sunday. :)

 

World's last commercial ocean-going sailing ship - The Pamir - rounding Cape Horn, 1949.

Someone (unknown to me) unearthed this photo of her Grandfather from the 1940s.

Absolute, complete and 100% total...Badass.

Full disclosure...I am an Independent /Libertarian. I have voted for Republicans and Democrats, but I did *not* vote for Biden and I sure as fuck did *not* vote for Trump. I don't subscribe to the typical "left/right" paradigm of politics. I think everyone has the right, responsibility and obligation to take part in the political sphere, to make their voice heard, to right wrongs, and to fight for egalitarianism. Below is my 2020 election ballot, just for proof. 

 

Dismissed in 2012, this diagnosis of GOP ills has now become undeniable.

The essay described congressional extremists, their rejection of truth, a party turning into authoritarians or "an apocalyptic cult."

 

Why McCarthy and McConnell want you to forget about the January 6th riot. 

“The president bears responsibility,” McCarthy (R-Bakersfield), the Republican leader in the House, said back then.  

“The mob was fed lies,” McConnell (R-Ky.), the Senate Republican leader, said. “They were provoked by the president.” 

National Guard ending mission at Capitol.

The US National Guard is going home. After four months of being deployed in our nations capital, after an insurrection brought on by Trump and *some* Republicans, they were stationed there, for four months, to protect the US Capital, our elected legislators and democracy, from being overthrown and burnt to the ground....by treasonous Trump cult members and unpatriotic, traitorous, out-of-touch with reality Republicans. What a party.

I love how the pieces missing in the parents, make up the pieces of the child.

Photo below was sent by a reader...who thought it was hilarious. I admit, it is amusing, but I temper this with pointing out that he resides in Antarctica, so he's got frostbite of the brain, plus the cold made his balls atrophy...and then fall off, so what the hell does he know.  :) 

Some sort of Rainforest looking ambiance, right outside the bathroom walls. 

Tarzan? You there? Come on in... :)

 

Okay, so I'm not a huge overnight outdoors fan. I love a shower, a bed, heat or A/C when needed and no rabid vermin or varmints trying to climb all over me while sleeping (men included, lol). However, if I *were* the type to engage in such uncivilized barbaric activity...this is one amazing device.  :)
