A FEMALE CHIEF AND HER SCHNAUZER.
A female Chief noticed her Schnauzer was practically deaf, so she marched him to the vet.
The vet took one look and said...
“Problem’s simple, too much hair in the ears.”
Snip, trim, clean…and suddenly the dog could hear better than the XO at inspection.
The vet added...
“To keep this from happening again, pick up some Nair at the store. Rub it in once a month.”
So off the Chief goes to buy the Nair.
At the register, the store clerk leans in and says...
“Ma’am, if you’re using this under your arms, don’t apply deodorant for a few days.”
The Chief shakes her head and says...
“I’m not using it under my arms.”
The clerk nods knowingly and says...
“Ah, then if it’s for your legs, avoid body lotion for a couple of days.”
Now the Chief’s patience is gone...
“I’m not using it on my legs either. If you must know, I’m using it on my Schnauzer.”
The clerk freezes… then stammers...
“Oh! Uh…well…in that case… stay off your bicycle for about a week.”
Leo,
Apparently you support drug dealers and drug users.
Apparently you don't mind the death and destruction that the drugs coming from these 3rd world shit holes are causing in America.
Apparently you haven't watched people you love suffer the ill effects of the drugs these strikes are trying to prevent.
Apparently You Leo and cat would rather spend millions of dollars trying to run these dealers and runners thru our failed justice system only for them to get out and continue their evil ways.
I want the drug flow to stop, the users can't use if they can't get it.
What is better for America ,and the world for that matter, a few dead drug runners, or 1000's of sick and dead Americans??
Fuck the growers, dealers ,runners, all the lot of them, I would MUCH rather blow them all to hell than watch our young school kids be ruined by their poison.
Leo for sure seems to think it is alright for kids to be high and miss school and become homeless criminals dependent's ,bums, and eventually corpes.
Leo or cat neither 1 have presented any plausible solutions to the drug problem, all they and other liberals, democrats and dumbass's ever do is complain when someone try's to do something.
Get off your RUMP Leo,Cat, and present us with viable solutions to the drug problem. I dare you, matter of fact I will go as far as to say Leo is INCAPABLE of presenting a viable solution. He will only deflect and call me a nazi or some childish bullshit.
Phart,have you considered that like everything else supply and demand rules the business? There would not be any illegal drug trafficking if there were no customers. So, I’m old enough to remember when illegal drug USERS were jailed. Many times for years. The laws have changed because too many people were arrested and convicted. Prisons were full to capacity. Now, if you want to stop or slow the trafficking of illegal drugs from out of the country and from inside it too, let’s go back to the old laws and, no possibility of parole. Another way is to do like the Middle East countries or China do. Execute anyone caught with illegal drugs. We kill indiscriminately now, why not remove the customer. An added benefit would be that we would get rid of half the population. What do you think of that?
Having worked around drug addicts and alcoholics and my safety in jeopardy as a result, If half the population is on dope, FUCK em, whatever happens to them that gets them OFF the streets and unable to influence my safety and health is fine.
we have been complaisant to long in regards to drugs and the users and dealers and runners and makers and etc, punish them Harshly
No, Phart. The economy’s lifeline depends on the spending power of the people. This doesn’t mean spending on drugs, but, if a big chunk of the buying public suddenly disappears, the economy would TANK. You, me, everyone would suffer whether we use illegal drugs or not.
Charlie Diabeto no really leave mama. Diabeto have no legs. Diabeto used as portable pussy for trailer park folk. Mama get 5 dollars each time passed around.
You know something,Sir-Skittles? You are so inhuman. It’s okay to trade insults with one another. It’s not right to make fun of someone else’s dying situation. Honestly, is this the way your Mom really raised you? Do you think she likes (or would have liked) what you’ve become? I don’t think so.
You like to go after me? Then, since you are ALL MAN, a real macho example of woman fighter, then go ahead, but, have some compassion about those that don’t have much of a chance at living if any at all.
You are….fuck. I don’t care anymore. CAT52!
Pitbull, you are just upset because I called you a wetback Chihuahua bitch in heat. I thought bottoms had a thicker skin? Or maybe it was a bigger asshole. Either way, lambetiame el culo, Chihuahua.
Let me tell you how a far right maga person, like phart, would reply.
The economy was so fucked up by Biden and Hussein Obama that the repair is much harder. The far left is constantly undermining the efforts of the administration. They're causing disruption in a way that it's absolutely necessary to spend money for mobilising the army to deal with the communists and the illegals from asylums seeking asylums. The far left is colluding with venezuela do attack our great country and even steal from us. The current administration is lowering the prices daily but because of the unholy war launched by Democrats, communists, foreign countries who are jealous of us, as well as extraterrestrials, are slowing the lowering of the prices. We're investing in artificial intelligence and support the great American patriots like zukerberberg who devote their dollars to build machines the will decide what we eat cheaply and produce them cheaply. We'll soon reach a point when not only we'll fulfil our promises but also surpass them.
Border patrol shows up to a local city, arrest 350 people for being illegal and criminal.
Only about 40,000 illegals are known to live in that city,a drop in the bucket. Classrooms were vacant several days, a clear indication of the burden on our education system the illegals kids are,while ice and border patrol were in the city. They warned of their coming,and they told of their leaving. and only got 350 or so. waste of time if you ask me. Economy won't be helped by that little bit.
I still won't drive the 75 miles to go to that city to do business because it is still the crime capitol of the state.
zukerburg at least supplys jobs, what do you do Leo? Jealous he has more money than you?
IF shit was free she wouldn't notice
I filled my truck up with gas the other day for 2.55 cheapest gas has been in a while, not where it should be but cheapest in a long time.
Thanksgiving dinner cost me 13 dollars for a small pork roast and 5 chicken breast, and a couple sides as I buy the clearance items to save a buck or 2. I now have about 8 meals worth of food cooked for that price.
I went to get a couple tools last week, they had come down in price from a year ago so i went ahead and bit the bullet and bought them,
For me, the economy has been great the past 6 months.
She lives in a different state. California is much higher than florida,new york is higher than florida or my state
I just said if shit was free she wouldn't notice because she thinks she was better off under biden, so she must have alot of money stashed somewhere.
My homeowners insurance just went up 2600.00 and food prices at the grocery store is the highest I’ve ever seen here. Florida power and light is increasing our electric cost in the state the biggest increase in the history starting next year and increasing every year after. My biweekly food bill at the grocery store is in the three hundred plus dollar range, but like phart sais, my gas bill has dropped a lot. I don’t drive much so I’m not saving money on the low fuel costs here. South Florida is a very expensive place to live now because of the increase insurance claims from hurricane damage and from an increase of insurance claim scams. My auto insurance went up 280.00 a year, I’ve never had a ticket, never been in an accident, never maid a claim, been with State Farm all my life, so I decided to go to Allstate where it was 40% cheaper. I’ve been thinking about moving out of this state where I can get away from the city like maybe around Tennessee or Carolina’s. Because I’m tired of paying the high costs of living down here.
I use a auto insurance agent that checks each time mine comes up for renewal and since leaving state farm back 7 years ago they have saved me ALOT of money. I think right now i am with progressive.
Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term used to describe negative reactions to U.S. President Donald Trump that are characterized as irrational and disconnected from Trump's actual policy positions.
Phart, I won’t answer your post personally. Instead, I’ll repost Cody8789‘s comment to you:

I guess that phart is lying. Every single american I know says that they experience higher prices
And so do the news. It's only phart who says prices have gone down. He's lying.
But it may be due to derangement. As he just said, trump is deranged. And if trump is deranged then phart, who must so whatever his god does, is also deranged.
Leo, What the hell do I have to gain by lyeing on a dick site?
When I go to the store, the fucking prices are cheaper.
Is this true nation wide? No perhaps not.
a big mac combo is much cheaper here than in california for example.
The thing is I live in a more rural area, the stores know if they don't sell eggs cheaper than we can keep up a few chickens, they won't sell any eggs. same with meat, my family has a cattle farm, they take a cow every year to the slaughter house and fill the freezers. But still will buy a piece of meat at the store, IF it is cheap.
Green bean, never bought by my family, there are cases of quart jars of green beans canned every summer for eating year round. jellies, same.
So yes alot of folks around here can't do all that, BUT the prices at the store reflect those of us that can.
It's easy to see what you gain.
You gain religious adherence to your supreme leader. If Your supreme leader says A you repeat A. There's no margin in your brain for disagreement.
What you gain is your capacity for faith. You make your faith stronger.
If I have to choose to believe you or official statistics I choose the latter.

What the fuck ever Leo, calling a man a liar behind a keyboard knowing there is no consequence is kinda childish anyway. You go by printed info, i go by a receipt and how much money is still in my pocket when i leave the store.
I took photos but shouldn't have to download them to a dick site but at the local Food Lion, Milk 3.89. I buy mine at walmart for less.
Eggs, large white dozen,2.19
Dukes mayonnaise quart,5.99, on sale now for 3.99
I can post photos if you would like, plus i can scan the receipt showing my purchase of 3 boxes of hamburger helper for 5 dollars and the dozen eggs listed here, along with a pack of hamburger meat for less than 3 dollars on sale.
I want to see the receipt where you buy groceries cat,
And I will try to get mine posted, i know we buy different things but the basics like milk, Butter,dukes mayo and such should be comparable.
If I were you and I had or was expecting a pension from Sears — I would treat it as a backup or “maybe-get-something” benefit, not as a main retirement plan. The odds are too uncertain.
You might get something from PBGC, but likely less than what you expected. If you can, rely instead on diversified personal savings / investment accounts for retirement — or view any pension money from Sears as a bonus, not a foundation.
So what’s your point, Sir-Skittles? You think you invented having a portafolio to substantiate Social Security retirement? My retirement plan from Baptist Health Systems along with my 401k and a few other small but steady investments, has kept me in a comfortable position. This current situation has made me cut back like everyone else. WOODY is not in the picture anymore. I do know that because he has to retire early due to health reasons, his retirement from Sears is not what he expected. His Social Security is at full capacity but, like you imply, it’s not enough. His current partner is able to take up the slack.
I just got a dozen of large white eggs for 2.19 this morning, so i can make cornbread with the bag of Martha white cornbread mix i bought last week, i didn't have any eggs to make it to eat with my thanksgiving meal though

Fact check: Grocery prices are up, not ‘way down’ as Trump claimed
By
Daniel Dale
Daniel Dale
OCT 24, 2025
Newly released inflation figures show that President Donald Trump was wrong when he repeatedly claimed this month that grocery prices are “down” or “way down.”
They were up, again, last month. And they have increased since the start of his presidency.
Average grocery prices rose 0.3% from August to September, according to Consumer Price Index figures released Friday. That increase followed a 0.6% jump from July to August, which was the biggest month-to-month jump in three years.
—————-
There are differences between one location and another. That’s always been true. What matters is the whole picture. You might enjoy cheaper food prices because you live in an agricultural region. We own a place in South Florida and one in Central Florida. In Miami, egg prices are still in the $4 range for medium sized ones. In Umatilla (Lake County) eggs are $2 for 18 fresh eggs or $3.50 for 3 dozen.
There’s also housing. A 450 sq ft apartment in Miami rents for $1250/month. In Umatilla you can rent a 3 bedroom/ 2 bath home in a gated community for $1500/month.
So, yeah, you and Phart can quote your local prices and I can’t refute that. I don’t bring my local prices into the argument. That wouldn’t make sense either. What I’m saying and what the majority of the people in this country are saying is that generally, ALL PRICES are going UP and this administration has not been able to reverse that trend.
You, guys, think that I hate the Clown (and that’s true…oh, hell, yes, that is true) but, I’m saying that this Republican Congress, so afraid of making the Clown upset, HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO BRING DOWN THE COSTS OF LIVING AT ALL.
Think about that. Harris lost the election in November 2024. Since then a whole year has passed. The Clown and the Republican Congress, the ones that complained so much about Biden’s administration bringing costs so high, can’t change the fact that we Americans are struggling just to be at the same level as we were during Biden’s term.
So, yeah, let me ask you again:
“ So, guys, how’s that promise of lower costs the Clown promised you during his campaign and administration working out for you??”
Phart posted
So they are already having issues with charging electric cars?
Sheesh,what about in 5 years? The power company are not permited to build new power plants.Solar and wind are going to be important to keep the grid up. But that didn't work in Texas did it?
They make a lot of energy in Texas,but how many folks died over the winter this past 1?
Angel1227!
So a private, for profit, company did not plan on a hard winter so their production of electricity was not sufficient? And this utility, regulated by the states, failed to meet the demands? This state (Texas) governed by Repukers was not regulated correctly so this company spent less on production and got richer because of it? This sounds very much like a Repuker business idea.
Regulation? Hahaha,look at californicated, that is what happens when you over regulate. No one can trim trees off the lines, the power company has to cut power off in high winds,that is the result of Liberal-democrat regulation. Hug the trees,to hell with the humans.
I fault the power companys in texas to a point but I also fault the citizens for lack of preparedness.
The power companies in Texas are now have trouble providing enough power for air-conditioning. The problem in the winter were not a fluke. It happens again only months later. Prices for power skyrocketed again. Many people again received electric bills for thousands of dollars. Texas' power market is not a good example of 'good' deregulation.
Face it, sometimes you need regulation, especially for basic facilities like power.
Did I mention California? Was this the subject of the conversation? This is about Texas and it’s power company. Phart reply to this or open another thread.
I posted a link to a news report about california having issues with electric car charging,
And I then mentioned the issues in texas with electricity.
What everyone is missing here is the fact there is NOT enough electricity being produced to meet CURRENT demand.As Ananas has indicated.So imagine if you will,5-10 years from now,when there is GREATER demand? What a mess we are in for.
Regulation is not the solution. that is how you GOT TO THIS POINT. To many regulations preventing new power plants being built and trying to snuff out coal,a effective energy source.
Phart do you think power companies sat down in the 1920’s and said, “We are building for the future so, in 1945, we stop because there’ll be too many regulations to conduct business”?
You think that if they are running short they won’t try to catch up? The regulations you protest are there to protect the people and the environment. But, knowing how you think, fuck that. Let coal continue to pollute. We’ll be dead by the time our grandkids die of poisoned air.
newest nuclear power plant started in 2016.

Only 2 under construction according to this chart.

The US shut down how many? lets see
only registered users can see external links
Now, we shut down 39 and we are building 2. Does that sound like regulations are helping any? 2, there are 50 states. So state regulation is not changing anything where it may be either.
If you want coal gone,you need to have a replacement handy before hand.
Maybe those old reactors have become very dangerous over time and/or they are not as efficient as the new ones.
Nuclear power is not the solution. There are 80 sites in the United States where nuclear waste is stored. Some of it is stored temporary in a location that is not safe long term. The best uranium sites are already running out and it's getting ever more expensive to mine the stuff.
That waste has to be looked after for the next 20,000 to 1M years, before it's safe. Humanity probably kills itself before that or there might be a few survivors that don't know how to keep the waste safe and radiation will finish them off. But who cares, right?
Well Ananas, at least we have some common ground, I h@te nuclear and wish people would have enough sense to study other ideas.
I just used nuclear here because MOST tree huggers-liberals,think nuclear is the answer.And it has Ooodles of issues that take Many years to deal with.
Actually, I even prefer fossil fuels over nuclear, even though I'm a tree hugger-liberal. Nuclear might be a bit better on carbon emissions when the reactor is built, but building new ones creates so much emissions, it takes 20 years to recover.
Another problem is that nuclear reactors take ages to start up and stop again, which is not practical as backup for solar and wind. Fossil fuels are at least needed until we have enough geothermal, hydro (incl. wave), biofuel, biogas, hydrogen, chemical storage (formic acid), thermal energy storage, battery storage and whatever I forgot or they think up next.
qoute "Reducing the overall demand for electricity makes it easier for renewables like solar and wind to fill the gap, and targeted projects can reduce demand on the grid at peak times."
Eh so more electric cars will reduce demand?
I know you are not a engineer,but even you should be able to figure out that can't work.
I don't pretend to be an engineer, but, I do know electric vehicles will not burn fossil fuels and pollute. If (and it looks like they are) the local electric companies can't handle the load they will have to upgrade. Eventually they will reach parity. Again, I say to you, if a problem exists, there will have to be an adjustment. Electric companies are allowed by government to be monopolies, but, they can loose it all if they can't provide proper service.
Coal is pretty much done as an industry. Not just because of regulations, but because investors and insurers are now backing away. If we all switch to electric cars soon, there's definitely a challenge to provide that electricity, but the overall power consumption will go down. Electric cars are more efficient. Now, I'm not talking about Tesla's that do 0 to 60 in 2 s and are comparable to a Porsche, but sensible electric cars that are appearing now.
It's nice to see that the world is moving towards new energy solutions, such as electric cars. We can't afford burning fossil fuels any longer. I'm glad to see that everyone agrees on that. Perhaps Saudi Arabia will be unhappy, but that country is a militant dictatorship with
groas violations of human rights, so the US or Europe don't need them as an ally.
Um, who do you think backed the loans for the solar farms around here? Saudi Arabia.
If they can't sell us oil ,they will make their money on interest from loans.
We could afford to use fossil fuels if we could finish our pipelines and drill in otherwise useless lands like up north in alaska where there is nothing but woods.
The alaskan pipeline built long ago,was supposed to be such a wildlife disaster,ha,the animals love it,it is warm near the pipeline.
Eh yea,some,but nuclear wipes out MILES of earth for 100's of years. Check out Chernobyl sometime.
California has MILES of coast line,Why are they not looking into this tech?
only registered users can see external links
Instead of wasting all that coast line for half naked people to lay around and spread covid,there could be power plants there!
NO pollution! No noise that is not already there,and erosion control! WOW,
Kansas,could be using wind and solar to help of course.
Another non polluting power source,
only registered users can see external links
Same here! No theorys posted, those are technology's already being tested and shown to work,perhaps just not as efficient as others.
I actually use some old equipment that is electric that was made way back before it was "cool" So I research alternative energy sources and what not for that reason. If I lived near a active stream,you better believe there would be a water wheel turning a old Gm alternator to charge back up batterys.
When I build a green house,yep,I will use geothermal to help with temp control.
If I lived next to a moving stream, I, too, would use it for power, however, you would need several deep discharged batteries and a back up energy system in case you deplete your batteries too fast. I would also go upstream a few hundred yards and divert some of the water through pipes to have energy free house water.
That sound very cool. I would love to do some tinkering like that.
Here are some fun do-it-yourself builds on YouTube.
I had seen them before and it made me regret living next to a stationary ditch.
Maybe there are some ideas you can use:

I DO NOT quite understand the amount of AMPS he is getting from that washing machine motor.
Here they say 600W should be possible. A washing machine motor will use 400 to 1300 watts. They might not be as efficient to generate the same amount, but can still do the job pretty well, as it seams and should be very easy to obtain.

How many Chernobyl’s do you know? One in the states, one in Japan, and one in Russia. Here, in Miami-Dade county, FP&L has been operating the local one over 50 yrs. Same in other cities around the state. And no pollution
3 mile island here in the US. Prompted a nation wide process of adding new cooling systems.1 of my neighbors worked on the crew that went around building it. Made a fortune doing it.
You don't hear about the Mcquire plant here in NC getting to hot but it did a few years ago. The tree huggers were angry because a type of fish was dieing from getting caught in the cooling system water.So they put a screen over the intake. Worked fine for a while. Until the screen clogged up with little fishes.A employee told me about it.
Here is a long list of potential accidents and how to deal with them
only registered users can see external links
Yea,I know,I got dizzy after 10 minutes of readin!
I can't see a coal plant being any where near as dangerous to operate
So what's your point? Just let any company kill whatever part of nature is in their way, because US companies are completely inadequate in solving any problem ever?
They can't even take in water, without sucking up all the fishes
Ananas2xlekker my point is that all companies have a responsibility to protect the environment. People are part of the environment. In this case, the “sucking up of all the fishes” is not because the plant is nuclear. Yes, the reactors do need cooling. Cooling canals and reservoirs are needed. In this case, some knucklehead got the idea to put a screen on the pickup line. Duh, a cheap fuckup because of a cheap fix. Seems to me that an industry that can build nuclear reactors to make electricity should be able to prevent “little fishies” from clogging the intake of cooling water. Spent nuclear fuel rods are a problem. Finding a location to store them safely is still a problem and hopefully it better be resolved soon.
According to the Rainforest Action Network. For decades, climate change has been a global crisis that will impact every single person and living being on this planet. Now, according to the latest UN climate report, we have less than 10 years to cut global emissions in half.
Burning fossil fuels isn’t just bad for the climate, these industries also violate countless fundamental human rights. From frontline communities facing a fossil fuel pipeline on their land to Indigenous people facing fires in the Amazon to worker rights violations on palm oil plantations, the industries fueling climate change are also fueling injustice.
Coal, tar sands, and fracked gas show everything that’s wrong within the fossil fuel industry. These extraction practices are harming people and planet every day, and big banks are fueling this destruction of the planet and negligence of life.
So what’s so bad about coal, tar sands, and fracked gas? Basically everything, from start to the finish these fossil fuels are disastrous.

Like I said, “What you don’t see can be more dangerous.”
Managing the Chernobyl disaster has probably already cost more energy than several nuclear reactors will produce in their lifetime. The exclusion zone of Chernobyl; 2600 km˛, if filled with solar panels, would produce 234 TWh/year. That's about twice the whole electricity consumption of The Netherlands.
So we only would need half that exclusion zone filled with solar panels
and that would cost about 78 Billion Euro's. That would raise our national debt from 56.3% of GDP to 66.2% of GDP.
Jobs for all our unemployed people will pull that debt down soon enough.
You forget that the disaster in Chernobyl happened to a nuclear electric plant that would never be built in the US. According to the Atomic Energy Commission, this type of reactor was ver vulnerable to the disaster. The USSR didn’t care. Like the Chinese, they wanted results.
How about Fukushima?
Accidents happen. Even if the chance is 1:1M (historically proven it's much higher), when you multiply that risk by the number of nuclear power plants required, something catastrophic will happen at some point. Such catastrophes could cost more than the complete energy transition.
That's not worth it, because nuclear power is only a temporary solution, because the uranium will run out at some point. It's already becoming more and more expensive to mine the stuff.
Even if all those problems didn't exist, it still takes 10 years before any nuclear power plant has compensates his own build. But it first takes 10 years to build any. Then after 20 years, they are just as CO2 effecient as wind and solar. That's too late. We need to lower CO2 emissions ASAP.
Anyone with some money to spare can invest in their own solar panels,
lower their costs and be less dependent on power companies.
It's nice to have air-conditioning in a heat wave, when the government
is telling you not to use power or you can't afford it when power companies are charging you 100x the normal rate.
Fukushima’s disaster included the meltdown but IT WAS THE SUNAMI THAT CAUSED IT AND MOST OF THE DEVASTATION of that city. Last I’ve checked there are no dinamices happening in Kansas. I will give you this one. In Californicate state they’ve built one on the fault line. Engineer had too much Blow.
Isn't Kansas part of Tornado Alley?
There are al sorts of natural disasters, but it can also be a terrorist attack or a hacker or just basic human error.
Yes, it is but you can’t compare a wind storm, even a tornado, to a sunami. Our nuclear plant in Turkey Point went through several hurricanes . Hurricanes produce tornados inside the storm. Hurricane Andrews destroyed large swaths out of the county. Huge communities disappeared. The Turkey Point plan took it in stride.
BTW, instead of Kansas I could have picked West Virginia --------------------------------------- added after 4 minutes
As far as anything else, we have to trust security will prevail. Every thing is a crapshoot. Hopefully we don’t roll snake eyes,
Or just choose all the many alternatives and don't build any new nuclear power plants. Why are you such a proponent of nuclear energy? What do you consider the advantage over truly sustainable energy technologies?
Except for solar energies nuclear is the most reliable. I guess I’m like a Trump supporter but with nuclear capability--------------------------------------- added after 11
I was talking to phart.
I also don't like nuclear energy and my arguments are in line with the science on climate change. That uranium has to be mined, which also emits CO2.
A nuclear power plant takes a lot of energy to be built and maintained.
Then afterwards we have to keep the waste safe for the next 20,000 years.
On the short term nuclear is about as energy/CO2 efficient as wind power and even less than solar. In the long term nuclear has a horrible energy/CO2 efficiency, because keeping the waste safe also costs energy. Also, building nuclear power plants takes a long time and lots of materials. It takes about 10 years before a nuclear power plant compensates his own build. That's about 1-1.5 years for wind energy and 2 years for solar. However solar is cheaper
on maintenance.
Other than that, I agree with most of what you said.
All energy technology costs money, materials, energy and land to build and maintain. All energy technology has downsides like pollution, mineral shortages, exploitation of people and CO2 emissions. We just need to stop with the worst energy technologies first and expand on the best ones the most.
It doesn't require completely changing our life or have impact on the quality of our life. However climate change already impacts our life and it will only get worse. We can either choose to accept some changes now and prevent total catastrophe later or we can deny the truth until catastrophe proves us wrong.
A female Chief noticed her Schnauzer was practically deaf, so she marched him to the vet.
The vet took one look and said...
“Problem’s simple, too much hair in the ears.”
Snip, trim, clean…and suddenly the dog could hear better than the XO at inspection.
The vet added...
“To keep this from happening again, pick up some Nair at the store. Rub it in once a month.”
So off the Chief goes to buy the Nair.
At the register, the store clerk leans in and says...
“Ma’am, if you’re using this under your arms, don’t apply deodorant for a few days.”
The Chief shakes her head and says...
“I’m not using it under my arms.”
The clerk nods knowingly and says...
“Ah, then if it’s for your legs, avoid body lotion for a couple of days.”
Now the Chief’s patience is gone...
“I’m not using it on my legs either. If you must know, I’m using it on my Schnauzer.”
The clerk freezes… then stammers...
“Oh! Uh…well…in that case… stay off your bicycle for about a week.”
Dumb and Dumber
Apparently you support drug dealers and drug users.
Apparently you don't mind the death and destruction that the drugs coming from these 3rd world shit holes are causing in America.
Apparently you haven't watched people you love suffer the ill effects of the drugs these strikes are trying to prevent.
Apparently You Leo and cat would rather spend millions of dollars trying to run these dealers and runners thru our failed justice system only for them to get out and continue their evil ways.
I want the drug flow to stop, the users can't use if they can't get it.
What is better for America ,and the world for that matter, a few dead drug runners, or 1000's of sick and dead Americans??
Fuck the growers, dealers ,runners, all the lot of them, I would MUCH rather blow them all to hell than watch our young school kids be ruined by their poison.
Leo for sure seems to think it is alright for kids to be high and miss school and become homeless criminals dependent's ,bums, and eventually corpes.
Leo or cat neither 1 have presented any plausible solutions to the drug problem, all they and other liberals, democrats and dumbass's ever do is complain when someone try's to do something.
Get off your RUMP Leo,Cat, and present us with viable solutions to the drug problem. I dare you, matter of fact I will go as far as to say Leo is INCAPABLE of presenting a viable solution. He will only deflect and call me a nazi or some childish bullshit.
we have been complaisant to long in regards to drugs and the users and dealers and runners and makers and etc, punish them Harshly
economy must be mighty good if people have disposable income for dope.

My portfolio is looking great... and border jumpers getting sent home!
The economy was so fucked up by Biden and Hussein Obama that the repair is much harder. The far left is constantly undermining the efforts of the administration. They're causing disruption in a way that it's absolutely necessary to spend money for mobilising the army to deal with the communists and the illegals from asylums seeking asylums. The far left is colluding with venezuela do attack our great country and even steal from us. The current administration is lowering the prices daily but because of the unholy war launched by Democrats, communists, foreign countries who are jealous of us, as well as extraterrestrials, are slowing the lowering of the prices. We're investing in artificial intelligence and support the great American patriots like zukerberberg who devote their dollars to build machines the will decide what we eat cheaply and produce them cheaply. We'll soon reach a point when not only we'll fulfil our promises but also surpass them.
Border patrol shows up to a local city, arrest 350 people for being illegal and criminal.
Only about 40,000 illegals are known to live in that city,a drop in the bucket. Classrooms were vacant several days, a clear indication of the burden on our education system the illegals kids are,while ice and border patrol were in the city. They warned of their coming,and they told of their leaving. and only got 350 or so. waste of time if you ask me. Economy won't be helped by that little bit.
I still won't drive the 75 miles to go to that city to do business because it is still the crime capitol of the state.
zukerburg at least supplys jobs, what do you do Leo? Jealous he has more money than you?

“ My homeowners insurance just went up 2600.00 and food prices at the grocery store is the highest I’ve ever seen here. Florida power and light is increasing our electric cost in the state the biggest increase in the history starting next year and increasing every year after. My biweekly food bill at the grocery store is in the three hundred plus dollar range, but like phart sais, my gas bill has dropped a lot. I don’t drive much so I’m not saving money on the low fuel costs here. South Florida is a very expensive place to live now because of the increase insurance claims from hurricane damage and from an increase of insurance claim scams. My auto insurance went up 280.00 a year, I’ve never had a ticket, never been in an accident, never maid a claim, been with State Farm all my life, so I decided to go to Allstate where it was 40% cheaper. I’ve been thinking about moving out of this state where I can get away from the city like maybe around Tennessee or Carolina’s. Because I’m tired of paying the high costs of living down here.”
And so do the news. It's only phart who says prices have gone down. He's lying.
But it may be due to derangement. As he just said, trump is deranged. And if trump is deranged then phart, who must so whatever his god does, is also deranged.
When I go to the store, the fucking prices are cheaper.
Is this true nation wide? No perhaps not.
a big mac combo is much cheaper here than in california for example.
The thing is I live in a more rural area, the stores know if they don't sell eggs cheaper than we can keep up a few chickens, they won't sell any eggs. same with meat, my family has a cattle farm, they take a cow every year to the slaughter house and fill the freezers. But still will buy a piece of meat at the store, IF it is cheap.
Green bean, never bought by my family, there are cases of quart jars of green beans canned every summer for eating year round. jellies, same.
So yes alot of folks around here can't do all that, BUT the prices at the store reflect those of us that can.

I can post photos if you would like, plus i can scan the receipt showing my purchase of 3 boxes of hamburger helper for 5 dollars and the dozen eggs listed here, along with a pack of hamburger meat for less than 3 dollars on sale.
And I will try to get mine posted, i know we buy different things but the basics like milk, Butter,dukes mayo and such should be comparable.
Eggs 1.88 a dozen

Every thing else falling to
2.54 for gas! went down another penny!
If I were you and I had or was expecting a pension from Sears — I would treat it as a backup or “maybe-get-something” benefit, not as a main retirement plan. The odds are too uncertain.
You might get something from PBGC, but likely less than what you expected. If you can, rely instead on diversified personal savings / investment accounts for retirement — or view any pension money from Sears as a bonus, not a foundation.

Fact check: Grocery prices are up, not ‘way down’ as Trump claimed
By
Daniel Dale
Daniel Dale
OCT 24, 2025
Newly released inflation figures show that President Donald Trump was wrong when he repeatedly claimed this month that grocery prices are “down” or “way down.”
They were up, again, last month. And they have increased since the start of his presidency.
Average grocery prices rose 0.3% from August to September, according to Consumer Price Index figures released Friday. That increase followed a 0.6% jump from July to August, which was the biggest month-to-month jump in three years.
—————-
There are differences between one location and another. That’s always been true. What matters is the whole picture. You might enjoy cheaper food prices because you live in an agricultural region. We own a place in South Florida and one in Central Florida. In Miami, egg prices are still in the $4 range for medium sized ones. In Umatilla (Lake County) eggs are $2 for 18 fresh eggs or $3.50 for 3 dozen.
There’s also housing. A 450 sq ft apartment in Miami rents for $1250/month. In Umatilla you can rent a 3 bedroom/ 2 bath home in a gated community for $1500/month.
So, yeah, you and Phart can quote your local prices and I can’t refute that. I don’t bring my local prices into the argument. That wouldn’t make sense either. What I’m saying and what the majority of the people in this country are saying is that generally, ALL PRICES are going UP and this administration has not been able to reverse that trend.
You, guys, think that I hate the Clown (and that’s true…oh, hell, yes, that is true) but, I’m saying that this Republican Congress, so afraid of making the Clown upset, HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO BRING DOWN THE COSTS OF LIVING AT ALL.
Think about that. Harris lost the election in November 2024. Since then a whole year has passed. The Clown and the Republican Congress, the ones that complained so much about Biden’s administration bringing costs so high, can’t change the fact that we Americans are struggling just to be at the same level as we were during Biden’s term.
So, yeah, let me ask you again:
“ So, guys, how’s that promise of lower costs the Clown promised you during his campaign and administration working out for you??”
The damage biden did took a while. it will take a while to fix it.
So they are already having issues with charging electric cars?
Sheesh,what about in 5 years? The power company are not permited to build new power plants.Solar and wind are going to be important to keep the grid up. But that didn't work in Texas did it?
They make a lot of energy in Texas,but how many folks died over the winter this past 1?
Angel1227!
So a private, for profit, company did not plan on a hard winter so their production of electricity was not sufficient? And this utility, regulated by the states, failed to meet the demands? This state (Texas) governed by Repukers was not regulated correctly so this company spent less on production and got richer because of it? This sounds very much like a Repuker business idea.
I fault the power companys in texas to a point but I also fault the citizens for lack of preparedness.
Face it, sometimes you need regulation, especially for basic facilities like power.
And I then mentioned the issues in texas with electricity.
What everyone is missing here is the fact there is NOT enough electricity being produced to meet CURRENT demand.As Ananas has indicated.So imagine if you will,5-10 years from now,when there is GREATER demand? What a mess we are in for.
Regulation is not the solution. that is how you GOT TO THIS POINT. To many regulations preventing new power plants being built and trying to snuff out coal,a effective energy source.
You think that if they are running short they won’t try to catch up? The regulations you protest are there to protect the people and the environment. But, knowing how you think, fuck that. Let coal continue to pollute. We’ll be dead by the time our grandkids die of poisoned air.

Now, we shut down 39 and we are building 2. Does that sound like regulations are helping any? 2, there are 50 states. So state regulation is not changing anything where it may be either.
If you want coal gone,you need to have a replacement handy before hand.
Nuclear power is not the solution. There are 80 sites in the United States where nuclear waste is stored. Some of it is stored temporary in a location that is not safe long term. The best uranium sites are already running out and it's getting ever more expensive to mine the stuff.
That waste has to be looked after for the next 20,000 to 1M years, before it's safe. Humanity probably kills itself before that or there might be a few survivors that don't know how to keep the waste safe and radiation will finish them off. But who cares, right?

Like nuclear is the only alternative to coal.
I just used nuclear here because MOST tree huggers-liberals,think nuclear is the answer.And it has Ooodles of issues that take Many years to deal with.
Actually, I even prefer fossil fuels over nuclear, even though I'm a tree hugger-liberal. Nuclear might be a bit better on carbon emissions when the reactor is built, but building new ones creates so much emissions, it takes 20 years to recover.
Another problem is that nuclear reactors take ages to start up and stop again, which is not practical as backup for solar and wind. Fossil fuels are at least needed until we have enough geothermal, hydro (incl. wave), biofuel, biogas, hydrogen, chemical storage (formic acid), thermal energy storage, battery storage and whatever I forgot or they think up next.
Then there is off-course the waste and the risk.
Eh so more electric cars will reduce demand?
I know you are not a engineer,but even you should be able to figure out that can't work.
groas violations of human rights, so the US or Europe don't need them as an ally.
If they can't sell us oil ,they will make their money on interest from loans.
We could afford to use fossil fuels if we could finish our pipelines and drill in otherwise useless lands like up north in alaska where there is nothing but woods.
The alaskan pipeline built long ago,was supposed to be such a wildlife disaster,ha,the animals love it,it is warm near the pipeline.
California has MILES of coast line,Why are they not looking into this tech?

Instead of wasting all that coast line for half naked people to lay around and spread covid,there could be power plants there!
NO pollution! No noise that is not already there,and erosion control! WOW,
Kansas,could be using wind and solar to help of course.
Another non polluting power source,

You don't hear about the Mcquire plant here in NC getting to hot but it did a few years ago. The tree huggers were angry because a type of fish was dieing from getting caught in the cooling system water.So they put a screen over the intake. Worked fine for a while. Until the screen clogged up with little fishes.A employee told me about it.

According to the Rainforest Action Network. For decades, climate change has been a global crisis that will impact every single person and living being on this planet. Now, according to the latest UN climate report, we have less than 10 years to cut global emissions in half.
Burning fossil fuels isn’t just bad for the climate, these industries also violate countless fundamental human rights. From frontline communities facing a fossil fuel pipeline on their land to Indigenous people facing fires in the Amazon to worker rights violations on palm oil plantations, the industries fueling climate change are also fueling injustice.
Coal, tar sands, and fracked gas show everything that’s wrong within the fossil fuel industry. These extraction practices are harming people and planet every day, and big banks are fueling this destruction of the planet and negligence of life.
So what’s so bad about coal, tar sands, and fracked gas? Basically everything, from start to the finish these fossil fuels are disastrous.

chernobyl didn just happen and stop.It is still happening today.
Smog will go away at some point.
coal smoke can be filtered.Try filtering radiaton.
So we only would need half that exclusion zone filled with solar panels
and that would cost about 78 Billion Euro's. That would raise our national debt from 56.3% of GDP to 66.2% of GDP.
Jobs for all our unemployed people will pull that debt down soon enough.
Accidents happen. Even if the chance is 1:1M (historically proven it's much higher), when you multiply that risk by the number of nuclear power plants required, something catastrophic will happen at some point. Such catastrophes could cost more than the complete energy transition.
That's not worth it, because nuclear power is only a temporary solution, because the uranium will run out at some point. It's already becoming more and more expensive to mine the stuff.
Even if all those problems didn't exist, it still takes 10 years before any nuclear power plant has compensates his own build. But it first takes 10 years to build any. Then after 20 years, they are just as CO2 effecient as wind and solar. That's too late. We need to lower CO2 emissions ASAP.
Anyone with some money to spare can invest in their own solar panels,
lower their costs and be less dependent on power companies.
It's nice to have air-conditioning in a heat wave, when the government
is telling you not to use power or you can't afford it when power companies are charging you 100x the normal rate.

I also don't like nuclear energy and my arguments are in line with the science on climate change. That uranium has to be mined, which also emits CO2.
A nuclear power plant takes a lot of energy to be built and maintained.
Then afterwards we have to keep the waste safe for the next 20,000 years.
On the short term nuclear is about as energy/CO2 efficient as wind power and even less than solar. In the long term nuclear has a horrible energy/CO2 efficiency, because keeping the waste safe also costs energy. Also, building nuclear power plants takes a long time and lots of materials. It takes about 10 years before a nuclear power plant compensates his own build. That's about 1-1.5 years for wind energy and 2 years for solar. However solar is cheaper
on maintenance.
Other than that, I agree with most of what you said.
All energy technology costs money, materials, energy and land to build and maintain. All energy technology has downsides like pollution, mineral shortages, exploitation of people and CO2 emissions. We just need to stop with the worst energy technologies first and expand on the best ones the most.
It doesn't require completely changing our life or have impact on the quality of our life. However climate change already impacts our life and it will only get worse. We can either choose to accept some changes now and prevent total catastrophe later or we can deny the truth until catastrophe proves us wrong.
