[No doubt Jackson, MS (thanks for correcting my MI blooper) is also a shithole city under Democrat rule, and has been for decades.  Today’s water system breakdown is typical of how Soviet-style jurisdictions took care of their infrastructure with public monies going mainly into the pockets of corrupt politicians.  Today’s mayor of Jackson is Chokye Antar Lumumba, a proud textbook socialist who describes himself as a “progressive, socialist, and political revolutionary”.  Like with most of his ilk, maintaining a functioning infrastructure is not high on his governance to-do list.  Again, the overwhelmingly black residents of the city continue to bring it on themselves.  (more here) gjr]

    Inspirational is not an acceptable synonym for boring and tedious.
    I’ve not taken a single toke nor multiples since I was at Timothy Leary’s patio for a Ron Paul reception… in what… 1988? It wasn’t required, but it was fun.
    Not a problem… I avoid ‘music’ that screams for it.

    Otis is a black musician playing American Negro soulful blues, yes. That’s it. To rephrase and to do a do over, the only white man to be allowed to play the Blues is Charlie Musslewhite and only his Chicago-Memphis combo.sound. Soulful. Besides that one or two exceptions, I go for the real blues sung by those who can do it like no other….the American Negro, uncitified.
    Remember when John Mayhall’s house in the Santa Monica Mountains burned down. Off Kanan Road if I remember correctly. Anyway, they would not let him clear the bush below his rural abode because it was the habitat of the Kangeroo rat. In those mountains! Didn’t have a chance in the fire that came through. That would give anyone the blues.
    If you got time…6 minutes to let it sink in….Play that harmonica, white boy.

    The Kyiv Independent:
    ⚡️ Governor: 1 killed, 10 injured in Russian shelling of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Valentyn Reznichenko reported that a 9-year-old boy was killed in a Russian attack. Most of the injured civilians are in critical condition, Reznichenko added.

    The plant continues to supply electricity to the grid through a reserve line. Russia, which has been attacking Ukrainian positions from the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Russian-occupied Enerhodar, has been accused of using it as a shield and a tool of blackmail.
    ⚡️Zelensky: Russia wants to ‘intimidate all of Europe’ with energy blackmail. President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address that Russia is increasing its pressure on Europe by stopping its gas transit through the Nord Stream pipeline.
    “Russia is preparing to deliver a decisive energy blow against all Europeans,” he said. “…Russia wants to destroy the normal life of every European citizen.” Russian gas giant Gazprom halted gas supplies via the Nord Stream gas pipeline on Aug. 31 for an indefinite period.
    ⚡️Michel calls for resolving energy crisis ASAP. Charles Michel, president of the European Council, said that the European Commission should not wait until Sept. 14, when Ursula von der Leyen, president of the commission, is expected to announce solutions to the energy crisis.

    Education, it’s not enough to encourage people to advance through the higher ranks. We have to do it at the expense of all other forms of education. Most recently, I think work has become the enemy. Job satisfaction is now a thing that relies entirely upon the job and not upon the person. All of these things have combined to make work fundamentally unattractive.

    Joseph Robbin Biden is our first Teleprompter President. Wake him up, comb his hair, throw a clean suit on the guy and then….then….put a teleprompter before him and tell him to read what’s on the screen. He don’t know what he is reading, but what a trooper he is and he reads the words. Sometimes it’s a struggle, but he makes it through what seems like an eternity.for the normies out there.
    Then, cart Biden off stage, back to his crypt in the basement in Delaware, and close the crypt doors so sunlight doesn’t hit him in the morning. Bring him out when needed.

    Now that Trump has lots of personality and a is good orator. Natural. Here he in 2015 as the sole center of attention and hasn’t even bothered to hire a polling company seven months in. Why should he? He just read to the audiences the polls straight out of the NYY, lol. And he flashes Wa Compost headlines…about him. Some folks have it, some folks never will.
    Trump is not a orator in the vain of Ambassador Alan Keyes by any measure, but he is pretty good at it and is at his best (and worse) when he starting ad libbing and tosses out that little index card with 4-6 points to hit in his pocket and hits on his addresses with no notes. Free style.
    “It was “electrifying” said the only guy I know (and a Dem) who happened upon a Trump rally and checked it out.
    Only time in my life I felt electrified by someone walking into the joint was when Ali walked in a boxing very small arena film set for cameo bit parts and everyone’s hair stood up on the back of their necks and it was indeed electrifying. Ali never said a word, just his “Presence ” electrified the place. What ever you think of osmosis, I was electrified before I knew he was in the building. That was some energy. And then we got Biden.
    Hey, don’t blame me cause Trump has a personality and can make it through a long speech having a ball.
    And don’t blame me or ANY regular contributor here for the enthusiasm for Trump’s rallies and speeches. It IS the womenfolk out is where all the blame lies. That’s right. Trump’s rallies were 60% women at the start, which grew to latter average to mid sixties to a solid 70%. Blame them fine ladies. They were like Dead Heads, following Trump around to every rally. That’s who the extremists are. Conservative woo man. The wumen folk.
    What were the Dems thinking when they stepped between momma bear and her cubs? Not recommended, but what do I know. What, did they think the whole bear clan would fall in line and Momma Bear and Papa Bear would let strangers walk away with Baby Bear?would just follow them into some cage in Ranger Smith’s pickup and wave goodbye to Baby Bear? Not wise to intentionally try to breakup the most basic and strongest ties in society, aka, the family unit.
