For you motorcycle riders

Here's a little photo of my Airhawk seat cushion after 15,000 miles.  This thing has doubled my riding time.  Given my *ahem* age related physical issues, anything more than a couple of hours on the bike left me feeling rather beaten.  This cushion has allowed me to ride all day.  I can honestly say this is the best accessory I've purchased for my motorcycle, hands down.

The inner cushion is still good.  I only had to replace the cover. 

Y'all know I don't do product placement unless I really like it.  I'm not getting any money or even any notoriety from Airhawk.  They just work that damn well.  If you're a rider, look at their seat cushions.  They also made cushions for passenger seats.  They're worth every penny.

Things I learned from nature shows

A male salmon's "O" face looks pretty much like a human's.

Yep.

Thunder

Literally.  We had storms blow through last night, and I still don't know how we didn't lose power.  Lightning was hitting close enough that the thunder was shaking me off the bed.  I felt like I was at Ft. Riley again watching the artillery fire off.

And of course, with every "KA-FUCKING-WHAM!" there was the dog letting off his "THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG OUTSIDE!" bark, which is like a mix of Chewbacca screaming and some demon from the depths of hell announcing his presence at your bedside.

I'm running on little sleep.  Don't ask me to do math right now.

This. Is. GLORIOUS!

Granny Rictus just got Trumped.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

I don't think I can express in words just how happy this makes me.  The Democrats have been vacationing in Hawaii, going on junkets to Puerto Rico to meet with lobbyists, and now were going on a European vacation on OUR DIME with the flimsy excuse of "going to visit the troops".  Horseshit.  Absolute horseshit, and I'm glad it got shut down.  But I'm even happier that it got shut down in such a publicly humiliating way for the Democrats.  It's ABOUT DAMN TIME.

Well, I've just found my new theme song

Now I need to find sheet music.

Democrats refuse to meet with Angel Moms, cry about furloughed federal workers instead

No, really.  Granny Rictus actually ran away from the Angel Moms so that she could pull her crocodile tears out on the capitol steps.

This rally came a day after a group of Angel Moms (mothers of those killed by illegal immigrants) wielded giant photos of their murdered children at the offices of Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. 

The Angel Moms have attempted in vain all month to meet with Democrat leaders to discuss legislation to fund a U.S.-Mexico border wall. 

Angel Mom Sabine Durden, whose son Dominic was killed by an illegal alien in 2012, reacted to Schumer's rally on Twitter, saying: "Really? They can still hug their children, many of us Angel moms will never b able to do that. I would give up everything to just have my son for 1 hour."

Just a reminder, the cost of illegal aliens to the USA is upwards of $135 BILLION A YEAR.  Trump wants $5.7 Billion for the wall.  That's 4% of what the USA spends on illegal aliens.  It would pay for itself in a year.

But Democrats don't care about that.  They care about importing more voters so that they can win elections with a more pliable electorate.  Democrats certainly don't care about the hard-working Americans who are affected by the tens of millions of illegal aliens who are here in this country, committing crime (to include rape, murder and drug running), driving down wages, and turning parts of this country into miniature versions of the shitholes they came from.

Memo to me: Buy more popcorn

Long Knives, indeed.  The Left eats itself, just not fast enough as it eats Normal Americans.  Still the 2020 election is going to be an exercise in seeing just how "progressive" the ProgNazis will be.  Who can be made to tow the line?  Who can be swept out like trash?  The Democrat Party is fully in the grip of Marxist delusions and tyranny, and they can't hide it any longer now that the googly-eyed socialist is the face of their party.  Oh, the Democrat-Media Complex will do their best, and now that Cankles Treason McHackingCough is out of the running, the media focus will be on how to destroy Trump.  But that's been the media focus for the past two years now, and all they've done is....  what, again?

Anyways, Tulsi Gabbard wasn't sufficiently "progressive" for the ProgNazis, and she already announced her candidacy, so she must be disposed of.  Bravo, Lefties!

CNN hack tries to use same tired line, gets bitchslapped

And it's a thing of beauty.

CNN analyst Areva Martin accused Sirius XM radio and Fox Nation host David Webb of benefitting from “white privilege” because of his views on race Tuesday morning, to which Webb responded… that he’s black.

And he lays out a very good slapping.  I am sick and tired of the Left claiming that any white male has this mystical privilege that allows them to bypass all of the world's troubles.  C'mon down to Mississippi, let me show you some "white privilege".  If hard, grueling work constitutes "privilege", then just maybe you've got something.  If starting at the bottom of the ladder and working your way up constitutes "privilege", then sure.  But I don't need some pampered, snot-nosed, sneering liberal from a liberal bubble to tell me that I have some privilege.

FBI and Democrats (but I repeat myself) show their ass

And boy, do they ever.

In a Friday night news dump, the New York Times revealed the FBI’s surprisingly flimsy justification for launching a retaliatory investigation into President Donald Trump, their chief adversary during their recent troubled era. 

Admitting there is no actual evidence for their probe into whether Trump “worked for the Russians,” FBI officials instead cited their foreign policy differences with him, his lawful firing of bungling FBI Director James Comey, and alarm that he accurately revealed to the American public that he was told he wasn’t under investigation by the FBI, when they preferred to hide that fact.

They thought they were being smart.  They weren't.

Gillette goes full Woke

Fuck 'em.

I stopped using Gillette sometime when I was stationed in Wisconsin, because I was tired of paying out the nose for what amounted to tin-foil on plastic.  So I switched to a double-edged safety razor.  I've always used some sort of shaving soap with a brush, but now I tossed the cartridges and got a real razor.  And I've never been happier.  On a rather ironic note, one of my favorite safety razors is an antique Gillette brass safety razor that I picked up in an antique shop in Black Falls, Wisconsin.  I think it cost me $8.  I use Merkur razor blades, although sometimes I use Van der Hagen razors when I run out of my Merkur.  I get a much better shave, and I don't have to put up with virtue signaling assholes from Massachusetts.  If you're a guy, get into classic shaving.  I have multiple links under the "Be A Man" section.  Pick a real razor, and give it a go.  You'll save money in the long run, and you'll have a much better shave.

Fuck Gillette.  I watched the "advert".  They can go piss up a rope.  Let them go out of business, it's not like I use any of their products, or will use them in the future.
