<taps sign> Still on track, I think.

Always hard to predict, but the Friday Night News Dump has the potential to be historical this week. And not be limited to Friday.

If you were thinking of flying a kite to another state, like Indiana or Maine, i highly recommend NW New Mexico right now. And for our international clients w/European connections, might I recommend the east side of the state for departures.

So yesterday was President’s Day. We now return you to our regularly scheduled every-damn-day of Idiot President’s Day.

If I had to bet on the main thing that has radicalized people against "ai," and I am talking about the way that branding is CURRENTLY BEING USED, not whatever specialized ML utility you may have found for it, it would be in apps and tech they already use being made worse and/or inoperable by it

how we got here

99 luft balloons … whoops, sorry - make that 98 luft balloons ..

The fuck it was

“The chair recognizes the senator sheep from Ojo Encino.” “Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.” “The clerk will call the roll …”

Don’t mind me, but as an old IT engineer I’m amused that AI never quickly & efficiently resolves these outages (and at other companies as well). Doesn’t prevent them either. Hmm.

Who the fuck is “we”, dipstick? You’re in Congress Speaker-to-Animals.

It’s like these goofs aren’t even trying anymore …

Say, Minneapolis … for a place that loves lutefisk and generally can’t handle green chile, you’re pretty damn spicy.

Hold on a minute - does this mean the Federal Bureau of Investigation does *actual* investigations? (Photo: Kash Patel, shown demonstrating the size of his intellect.)

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

Bovino doesn't just go home. Kristi Noem doesn't get to ride off into the sunset with Corey Lewandowski on her horse. Stephen Miller doesn't get to order federal agencies to break the law and then move over to Fox News. Investigate, prosecute, punish. No one is above the law.

Ah yes, Donald Trump’s deep and abiding concern for the health and welfare of others. Especially native folks. So well known. If you need me, I’ll be scouring the Navajo Rez for the new oncology centers he’s building out here …

There are craven cowards, and there are Republicans. But I repeat myself.

AOC: "In directing this around Mayor Wray and Gov. Walz, claiming they are 'inciting,' Noem is equating disagreement with incitement ... she is laying the groundwork for the Insurrection Act ... they are taking issue with the people of Minnesota who have duly elected their own elected officials"

Sigh. Time to start dropping friends and family who were all, “But he said he’d lower my electric rates”. Storm is coming.

People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

I think we're going to win for a variety of reasons, but making it a reality starts with elevating leaders who are not Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. They are actively harming the opposition and helping the administration tighten its grip on the country.

"Mr. President, you have been duly warned—now by the GOP."

"Voters have rejected him. Courage is contagious. There are clear signs of the regime cracking and Trump weakening that are right in front of us. I’m encouraged by it, and I think Democrats have to learn that we need to act with greater ambition, because when we challenge Trump, we keep winning."

ICE agents detain Navajo man in Arizona, ignoring US, tribal IDs by @abecenti.bsky.social www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

They fucking did this shit after W and Trump 1, how did it fucking go, I forget

My Navajo in-laws are amused, somewhat. The irony among many is I’m of Danish heritage.

On the lamb: 50 sheep break away from flock and storm German supermarket

Well obviously the most important thing is that Minneapolis ICE agent is likely comfortably resting tonight in a killer Hilton suite.

I can’t really add much to the anger & disgust already being expressed today - too much literally makes my heart hurt - so here’s a selfie of our new lamb born last week. Some days I envy him.

Elected Dems don't just fail to inspire the base, they actively go out of their way to demoralize the base. E.g. caving on the budget in both March and November in exchange for nothing, with the November one being especially egregious for smothering all the good vibes from the election wins.

@heinrich.senate.gov @lujan.senate.gov @repstansbury.bsky.social @fernandez.house.gov @repgabevasquez.bsky.social Can't say as I have a serious disagreement with this sentiment.

Exactly. Stop treating this as a protocol violation in the Senate lunchroom, like somebody (egads) switched the salad fork with the soup spoon.

Jeffries’ staff has been assembled in a lab that focuses on crafting public statements that annoy the shit out of me

Good thing we all died on December 31st from the Covid vaccine, so we missed out on this … well, crap.

Needless to say I guess, but seems those additional 5+ million pages of Epstein Files must not be exactly exonerating.

If Georgia gets upset tonight that would be hilarious, cause that would mean the only SEC team left in the playoffs would be … Old Miss. Just as predicted! 😀

7am on January 1st, and Apple Health is already busting my balls like R. Lee Ermey. Damn.

To end the year on a good note, this cute little lamb was born on Sunday. Thought about naming him Jesus cause see, the ram died in February. Turns out one of the Joe Denny males is packing live ammo for his popgun, so out went the name. So Happy New Year’s!

Driving around Albuquerque Christmas Eve afternoon, 64 degrees, window down, what the hell man.

My wife will collect the 5 Rez dogs poop in a bucket & it’s my job to take it down by the wash to empty. Have named the spot the “Trump Dump Center” & I’m sure the honor is self-explanatory.

Obviously, Trump no longer has the stamina, strength, or ability to do all those rallies the WH told us he’d do. The fade out is going faster and faster … and it’s all downhill.

Well, hellfire and damnation.

In late ‘77 a German theater in Wiesbaden was showing Star Wars in English, which the military AAFES theaters couldn’t show at the time. Movie had 2 intermissions & you could buy beer in the lobby. Unusual experience for a 13-year old (& for ‘77).

With much regret I announce that I am resigning as one of the Senators from New Mexico. I’m proud of the work and items me & my team accomplished, even if never “technically” elected. Remember, you can take the green chile out of NM but you can never take the NM out of the green chile!

If y’all will excuse me I have to go get some preventative blood work done. Then later I’m getting a portrait taken to preventatively prevent aging. All in a day’s work!
