Trump Confirms VP Shortlist, Biden’s Operation Crazy S**t is Underway & We Play On the Money!

Joe Biden arrived in Los Angeles to raise money for his campaign, Trump confirmed a list of names on his running mate short list and is busy zeroing in on issues that don’t exist, New York Attorney General Letitia James said that she might seize Trump Tower if he can’t come up with the money to pay his $355 million fine, Hunter Biden’s attorneys say that federal prosecutors mistakenly believed that they found a picture of cocaine that was actually just sawdust, and in celebration of all the POTUS talk this week – we play our very popular game “On The Money!”

Jon Stewart on Tucker Carlson’s Putin Interview & Trip to Russia | The Daily Show

One thing that Jon did not point out.  While Tucker was going on how low the prices are in Russia, the price for the small amount of groceries he got which he claimed was a weeks worth … really small eaters there, was over half the monthly income of the average Russian.  So Tucker blew half the money the average Russian earns on one week’s food alone.  I think as hard as things are in the US, we still have it better.   By the way, Stewart’s comedic timing and ability is still spot on, I think.     Hugs.  Scottie

In response to online backlash over his criticism of Joe Biden last week, Jon studies Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin in Russia for a lesson in speaking “of course” to power. Plus, Michael Kosta reports from North Korea to demonstrate how nice life under a dictatorship can be.

GRITtv: John Fugelsang: Happy Holidays to War on Christmas

Just want to take a moment to wish ‘happy holidays’ to all our friends angry about the ‘war on Christmas.’ I’m worried about you guys. It’s Christmas, and you’re not very merry. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Odie has fallen in thrall of our radiator heater.

Ron is out grocery shopping.   I want to start going with him, and have a few times, but lately I am not up to it and there are things I need to take care of while he is shopping.  I was doing the dishes so he would have counters to put the groceries on when he got home.  Yes, I am tired.   But the funniest thing happened while I was doing them.

It has been cold on and off here in Florida during January and February.   This last few nights it has been around 46 degrees or lower at sunrise.   So before he goes to bed Ron turns the radiator on low with the temp dial about 72.  The heater we have in our bedroom bathroom heats both rooms and as I get up about every hour to pee, when it gets cool enough I turn it on.   Between the both of them they heat the main space and we keep the other doors closed until it warms up outside.   Also the electronics in the Pink Palace keep the room about 74 on the coldest nights so far.   I just have to remember to leave the computers up and running with the door closed.  

So to the point of the post, while I was doing the dishes Odie wanted food.  I gave it to him.  But Odie is older, we think at least 12 but more likely older, and not in the best health.  So while I went back to doing dishes after he finished eating, he went to the radiator heater that he often lays next to when it is running.  We have noticed that when it is active he will lay near it or against it.   He clearly loves the warm heat coming off it.  

So he finished eating, came out, stretched out next to the heater.  But no heat came out.   So he got closer.  Then he tried hitting it with his paw.  Finally, as I was rushing to get my phone, I saw him rubbing his face on the fins.  Yes even though the house was warm enough I gave in and turned on the radiator to the lower setting.  But that was not working fast enough for him and he was getting upset so I went over and activated the medium 1,600 watt setting.  That made it heat up fast enough and he laid back down next to it happy.  As he fell asleep, I turned it back to the lower watt setting.   Below is the pictures of our really spoiled fat cat.  Hugs.  Scottie

BATTLE HYMN OF THE TRUMPUBLIC – God Made a Dictator | Don Caron

Earlier this year the Trump Campaign released a video called “God Made Trump.” As with all releases from the Trump Campaign that needed to be fact checked. which it was – by the Lincoln Project. They discovered that God had been badly misquoted in the campaign ad. This parody is based on their findings.
