i guess we need more corporate tax-free zones

Just got the bill.

How ’bout that. 100% increase in my property taxes over just a few years ago. The gov. will say, “we didn’t increase taxes.”

No increase in the rate, maybe, but instead value my house up into the ozone.

Let’s see if we can slather on some bond issues every election to add to the fun.

Then, there are the ones that parade themselves for the TV cameras saying, “I’d gladly pay a little more in taxes if…”

That sounds fine as long as it’s just gladly YOUR taxes specifically.

appliance fetish

My refrigerator and electric range (AKA the cooker) are very old. If either one fails, I might replace with a Chinese brand just for TF of it. 😈 Haier, for example, is quite good now.

I notice large appliances. When in Cuba, most people had refrigerators that were either a Russian make or were a GE from Mexico (GESAMEX).

overnight flight out

That night we tried like hell to get out but were turned back and insulted to boot.

They said we were going to Cuba until I said, “that’s an extra charge, right?”

flags on the street

Somebody lines our street with these for several holidays.

I should burn it and put the stick back in the ground as a warning to others, but then I’d have to move out of the neighborhood, so I leave it alone. 😬

boom boom!

I think I’d like to spend much of my online time fretting about January 6th.

anti potus flags

At least it can be said that there is zero ambiguity on where they stand on this issue.

The flags on the three poles match the one on the little building. A set!

not holding water very well

From a social media experience today:

Like an overly patched leaking tire, a nonsensical loopy argument requires constant maintenance. Keep checking back to add air and apply more patches. You might make it for a little while if you get real urgent and lash out.

freely-offered advice is often worthless

Democrat social-media-status-quo chirps so readily give out voting and election advice to those who are actually doing something.

“You should start at the local level”

“Build resiliency first, then work on the election of candidates”

It’s like the example of my parents’ marriage. I know what not to do.

No gracias.

I’ve been studying these issues for 40+ years.

Early 1980’s, a US magazine reporter (can’t remember now which), crawled on his stomach for long distances to discover entire villages wiped out. Everybody dead. The photography was grisly.

Then, 2021, Empire Queen, Kamala do-not-come-to-US Harris, makes her first international trip after taking office to hang out with the Guatemalan President. Sickening.
