Neighbors are taking down their ash tree…. Directly across the street from my bedroom window! Yes, it’s Sunday, too!
My sleep patterns are wierd, as I usually sleep until about 5a.m., move about a couple of hours and then go nap from about 8-10 a.m. They started cutting the tree down at 8:30a.m….. No nap today! My golf game ought to be interesting later today. Hope your days goes better than mine gas started!

Anyone still question why sane people say this is a cult? Absolutely bizarre, but totally endorsed by some on this board.

Scary stuff.

I heard famed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin say that America hasn't been this divided since the Civil War. That makes sense to me. Americans don't really agree on anything. It's almost like two different countries.

It's very pronounced.

What's the reason for this? Social media? Trump?

Maybe I can’t post it here.

I nominate we get Steve Deace to call him a beta cuck lib to his face...

Schools here in the DSM metro are letting out early due to the threat of 80 mph gusts and tornados. Can't say I recall that ever happening before. We are letting people out of the office early but I'm staying put in the large steel and concrete building. Our garage is full of stuff due to an ongoing remodel so we can't park in it so the car will be safe here underground if we get whacked with hail. After derecho, I'm not sure what can happen with this storm short of a direct tornado hit on my house. What are your plans?

The Democratic challenger for the Fort Bend County Precinct 3 commissioner in Texas is facing charges for allegedly creating fake social media posts writing racist comments directed at himself.

Commissioner Andy Meyers, the Republican incumbent, requested the Fort Bend County district attorney’s office begin an investigation in October into the social media posts directed at Taral Patel, his opponent, ABC 13 reported.

Headed back to Omaha (I’ll try not to get shot) today from Orange City on 60 to 75 to I-29.

On a sucky note, one of my better half’s niece and family have a few inches of rain in Windom, MN.

Well, I guess Iowa wrestling isn't completely dead after all.

I'm proud of you guys. There may be hope for us yet.

FORDYCE, Ark. (AP) — Two people were killed and six wounded, including one law enforcement officer, when a shooter opened fire Friday at a grocery store in Arkansas, police said.

The shooting occurred at the Mad Butcher grocery store in Fordyce. The suspected shooter was critically injured after being shot by police, Arkansas State Police said. An officer was among those shot but did not have life-threatening injuries.

Police did not immediately say whether the shooting occurred inside or outside the store. Authorities planned to hold a news briefing on the shooting later Friday afternoon.

Fordyce is a city of about 3,200 people located 65 miles (104 kilometers) south of Little Rock.

Really enjoyed Cobra Kai, and looking forward to season 3. Got me thinking... what other past movies, say from the 80s or 90s, would you like to see made into a series that follows the character’s lives today? Something that would actually work and be somewhat interesting. A few that come to mind for me are...

An illegal Ecuadorian immigrant is in NYPD custody after the broad daylight rape.​

These illegal males who commit crimes are being referred to as "Bidens Boys".

Former President Trump reacted Tuesday to the broad daylight rape of a 13-year-old girl in New York, telling Fox News Digital that the attack is "unthinkable" and "should never have happened," while warning that the "Biden migrant" crisis will get "far worse" unless he is elected president in November.

An illegal Ecuadorian immigrant is currently in NYPD custody after allegedly attacking two 13-year-old children in broad daylight at a popular park in Queens. The man wielded a machete and tied the boy and girl together by the wrists and raped the girl in broad daylight, police said.

The migrant who was arrested in connection with the crime entered the United States illegally in 2021. The migrant had several low-level prior offenses, including subway fare jumping and drinking in public.

Reacting to the horrific attack, former President Trump said it was "unthinkable" and "should never have happened."

"These are Biden migrants," Trump told Fox News Digital. "They are flooding our country. They are flooding our cities and states."

"It will get worse—far worse—unless I am elected president," Trump continued. "This is just the beginning. They have come in from all over the world. They have come in from jails. They have come in from mental institutions and many terrorists have come into our country."

He added, "We are a dumping ground for the world. This is just the beginning."

Trump told Fox News Digital that President Biden’s "open border has been a tragedy the likes of which our country has never seen before."

The attack took place at Kissena Park — about three miles from where the New York Mets play at Citi Field and near the site of the 1964 World’s Fair and the U.S. Open.

"I grew up right near there," Trump told Fox News Digital. "Something like this was unthinkable years ago—unthinkable."

Trump recalled being able to walk down the street safely as a child.

"You could go down and go to the candy store, walk back—your parents never even had a thought of anything happening," Trump told Fox News Digital. "This is a different world. My parents never would have even had a thought that something could happen."

Trump, meanwhile, told Fox News Digital, "I’d like to pay my highest respects and love to the parents and family members—this tragedy should never have happened."

Police had been offering a $10,000 reward in the case after obtaining surveillance video showing the suspect on a bicycle.

Police found him after neighbors recognized him from the wanted poster, held him down and called 911, sources said.

The two teens were walking in the middle of the day when police say a man in his 20s approached them with the blade and forced them into a wooded area.

After the attack, he allegedly stole their cellphones and ran off.

Police described him as a male Hispanic in his 20s with braces and a tattoo of a horned animal with red eyes on his chest.

Timothy Mellon, an ultra-wealthy banking heir, donated $50 million to a super PAC supporting former President Donald Trump on the day after his felony conviction, records from the Federal Election Commission show, one of the largest disclosed campaign contributions ever.

The $50 million contribution is a staggering amount for pro-Trump forces as the White House campaign enters a crucial period when voters are starting to tune in to the high-stakes race between presumptive GOP nominee Trump and incumbent President Joe Biden.

Trump already has made history as the first former president and major party nominee to be found guilty of a felony. His campaign has been able to use his legal troubles as a way to increase support and donations: In May, the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee announced a $141 million haul as his criminal trial dominated the headlines. The conviction crashed his donation website.

Mellon's donation is sure to help Trump's efforts to win back the White House. The super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., plans to spend an additional $100 million through Labor Day, according to a memo from the group's owners obtained by The New York Times. The super PAC supporting Trump's campaign is preparing an advertising blitz in key states where Trump leads Biden in the polls, the Times reported.

The heir to the family fortune of banking and industrial magnate Andrew Mellon was already the largest single donor in the 2024 race. Before May, he had supported both Trump and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with a string of donations totaling $50 million. In April alone, he donated $15 million to super PACs backing both candidates.

Who is Timothy Mellon?​

Mellon is the former chairman and majority owner of Pan Am Systems, a transportation holding company purchased by CSX Corp. in 2022.

He is the heir to a family fortune based on the founding of the T. Mellon and Sons Bank and lucrative investments in real estate and companies including the Aluminum Company of America and Gulf Oil.

What is Timothy Mellon's net worth?​

The Mellon family’s net worth is estimated at $14.1 billion, according to Forbes.

Mellon has used his fortune to support Republican candidates and causes in the past. He spent $60 million in 2020 and $47 million in 2022, according to the nonprofit research group Open Secrets.
