last supper

Thinking of when a good net friend in Iran sent me on messenger a selfie of him smiling under a portrait of the Last Supper.

I waited awhile and said, “you’re actually going to send me that with no explanation?”

He replied, “lol, I thought you’d find it funny, so I was waiting. They aren’t rare here. (the portrait)”

My friend is a good one with good humor.

out-of-state search turns local instead

I was trying to dig up anti-gay dirt yesterday on an out-of-state church that somebody kept praising on Facebook. I didn’t find what I was looking for. Instead, several local churches in Greensboro kept coming up in the search results.

Whatever. There’s something to be said for churches that have put that stuff right on their web page. Better to know than not.

just a pithy trillion dollars

thought it said, “USA spent more than a BILLION dollars during 20 years of war in Afghanistan”

What a bargain. Seems kinda cheap.

Then I remembered that BILLIÓN in Spanish is TRILLION in English. So, it’s “USA spent more than a TRILLION dollars during 20 years of war in Afghanistan”

WooHoo!

Yeah sure, short an intermittent stimulus check by $600, give every large business in the city a tax “abatement,” and still somehow get dopes to sit on their asses downtown in front of cameras and beg for their taxes to be raised to pay city salaries.

All those yachts in Dubai Harbour, it’s maritime lifestyle like no other!

nixon vietnam

I “liked” this post, but I don’t like it.


OTD 1969, Nixon’s only visit to Vietnam during his presidency.


cuba web servers

Cuba is just SUCH a danger to the world (sarcasm) that their web servers are getting pounded into the dust daily. I can rarely read anything from there anymore.

My guess: Miami.

npr presents the status quo on cuba, what else in new

I let headlines load on my browser’s start page so that Mozilla will get a little revenue. This is a screenshot of one of them. I knew as soon as I saw the lede and the NPR url that the story would be status quo rubbish. It doesn’t take reading anything more than contained in the image to know that.

The article could have been written by the Miami crowd, the White House, and/or any of the “intelligence” agencies.

In the pic, I count all of about 25 “protestors,” not counting the neighborhood people milling about.

Low information disinformation a la NYT, WaPo, and so many others. According to the recent Psaki announcement, maybe NPR should be removed from all social media.

cccp pin

I just got this pin from Amazon. LOL. There’s more on the way.

cuba from cancun

Cancun 2010. Cancun has a high number of travel agents per capita. You’re never very far from one . As shown on this board, any of them can get you on a plane to Cuba.

USA, doesn’t matter. Cuba will let you right in, at least they did in 2005 when we went. Cuba will even do you the favor of not stamping your passport so you can lie about it if you wish. That said, you will have an exit stamp from Mexico then a reentry with unexplained time in between.

nixon resigns

Greensboro Daily News. August 9th, 1974. Nixon resigns. 📰🗞️

come fly with me

Driving through Dunn, North Carolina, this morning, and thinking of the plentiful private airports and air strips in this area and in Smithfield to the north.

They are very useful for transiting for America’s human cargo for enhanced interrogation. Everybody in the area knows it, but it’s just not talked about.

Also, Florida panhandle, lots of secured contractor places for flights leaving in the darkness at night and returning before dawn coming and going from Central America. Just don’t know why they would do that. 😬
