Pork Lips Now!


Once upon a time, towns had a "downtown."



It was occupied with "mom and pop" stores that were (more often than not) owned and operated by a single family.



My mom and dad ran a general store in a resort town. "Low Prices are Born Here and Raised Elsewhere."

Then a mall opened - with Safeway being the Anchor. Dad retired.



Mom worked for a couple more years, closed the general store, and retired. That was 50 years ago.



I went to college. I graduated in 4 years (not having the means to take the six-year plan). I got a Standard Secondary Teaching Credential (my grad year being financed by a scholarship).

That was then, this is now.

As up to 1/3 of the malls in America will close in the next 10 years, it's simply time for people to "skill-up."

Students are flocking into programs to “skill up” in pursuit of lucrative jobs. Community Colleges Are New Gateways to Hot Cyber-Space Jobs...

Oh, them Dems. Better KILL that program so the rich (0.1%) can get a tax cut.



The WalMart career people can't see it.

Walmart announced Friday that is closing 269 stores worldwide as it sharpens its focus on its e-commerce business.



Face it. The people who voted for Trump are simply too dumb to employ! (pun - simply + dumb)



Trump’s Housing Cuts Spare the One Program He Profits From

President Trump’s budget calls for sharply reducing funding for programs that shelter the poor and combat homelessness — with a notable exception: It leaves intact a type of federal housing subsidy that is paid directly to private landlords.

One of those landlords is Trump himself, who earns millions of dollars each year as a part-owner of Starrett City, the nation’s largest subsidized housing complex. Daddy left it to him - and his siblings - in the Last Will and Testament.

Trump also owns large chunks of "commercial space."

And THAT could lead to larger drops in his income.

This "Russian Thing."


Remember James Comey?



Apparently he was fired over this "Russian Thing."

But what, you might ask, is this "Russian Thing?"



Well the trumpster in the dumpster recently turned 71 (had his 71st birthday) and Comey gave him a gift.



Now fer "Patriots" (e.g. the unwashed stupid that can't get no respect nohow unless they wrap themselves in the flag and drive big trucks) the trumpster in the dumpster has ties to Russia. And this is not a recent turn of events.



And the trumpster in the dumpster has delusions of likability. He absolutely worships himself - and no other. His cult following absolutely worships him - and none other. In short, thay are a cluster f*ck of bleeding assholes. (And I am being unusually kind to them today).



This whole the trumpster in the dumpster administration is a "B" movie in which the trumpster in the dumpster (despite the absolute lack of any talent whatsoever) has displaced the other fat man.



And Putin has replaced Peter Lorre (but remains less sinister).



The script for this ongoing fiasco is coming out in paperback form in a few months (call it the congressional record).



Those of us who CAN read - and DO read - are well aware of the mole in the rose garden.

As a result of this revelation, a revised edition of an old book is going into print. Watch for it!



You won't find it on the magazine rack at WalMart (a.k.a displayed whacking material for the utterly clueless neo-cons, and skin-heads).









"Wankpuffin" is a term that trended on Twitter after composer Nick Harvey tweeted his shock that it was his mother's ISP username. The apparent melding of the British slang "wank," or masturbate, with "Puffin," a North Atlantic sea bird, the term was quickly adapted as a pejorative for wankers in general, most notably, Donald Trump.

Long, hot summer.


First, we are looking at a hot weekend out West.



But it took a long time - decades - to get here.



There are a couple of obvious events in the chart. World War One is one and World War Two is another. Both wars pumped carbon into the atmosphere.

Now let's look at POPULATION.



Add a few million cars and trucks and then a few million jet airplanes. You can see the run-away effect is obvious!

But the good news is that it will get hotter. I'm talking about a VERY HOT (melted) Earth.



In just 3 billion years, ALL LIFE will cease on Earth.

But that is good. All Atomic Power Plants and spent fuel rods will melt down and irradiate the planet.

Then, a billion years later, another galactic collision!



Of course, no person or thing will be here to see it!



And THAT is all she wrote for the late great planet Earth!

And Trump is still an embarrassment!

And Shiro is still cute!

The Bottom Line is...


About 30 years ago, a social isolate was surprised to learn that I had friends from college, high school, and even elementary school remaining in my social circle. What a concept! My wife and I attend class reunions for both high school and college graduating classes! ('66 and '70, respectively).



Donald Trump has no friends! That's why he has to rely on his children and in-laws to help him run (or ruin) the white house!



In France, Trump befriended le Pen. How did that work out for her? Or Him? (Denial)



Then there is that May thing in England.



Or the Middle East?



The only people on the planet willing to "make friends" with the trumpster in the dumpster happen to be Russians! And they can almost immediately identify a simple fool like the trumpster.



I am not saying that Trump is stupid. I am saying that Trump is INCREDIBLY STUPID!

And a liar.



The big money folks happen to stand behind the general concept of having a republican in the white house. The big money folks also don't give a sh*t about the trumpster in the dumpster. Pence is just fine with them.



Trump's support in the republican party is eroding fast. They might just dump him in the next 180 days. There is quite a bit of discussion about just that very thing in off-the-record discussions.

There’s a YUGE decline in the number of Americans who strongly approve of Trump, from a peak of 30 percent in February to 21 percent now. That decline is larger than the overall decline in his 'approval' ratings. Far from having unconditional love from his base, Trump has already lost a third of his strong support. And voters who strongly disapprove of Trump outnumber those who strongly approve by a 2-to-1 ratio.

Wait, watch, and laugh.
