Crime is Not Funny

April 16, 2019 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

But this is hilarious.

For the second time in several weeks, thieves have stolen the wheels off of Jackson [Mississippi] Police Department cars.

This time they got two cars, parked behind a museum in downtown Jackson.

In March, the last time it happened, the car was parked outside the west Jackson police training academy.  They took the tires and rims.

 

 

Thanks to Ted in Austin for the heads up.

Yesterday’s Quotes

April 16, 2019 By: El Jefe Category: Trump

As Notre Dame cathedral burned yesterday in Paris, leaders around the world spoke from the heart about the tragedy.  Here are a few:

“Notre Dame is one of the world’s great treasures, and we’re thinking of the people of France in your time of grief. It’s in our nature to mourn when we see history lost – but it’s also in our nature to rebuild for tomorrow, as strong as we can.” – Barack Obama

“Notre Dame of Paris in flames. Emotion for a whole nation. Thoughts for all Catholics and for all French. Like all our countrymen, I’m sad tonight to see this part of us burn.” – French President Emmanuel Macron

“The burning of the Notre Dame cathedral has again made us aware that we are bound by something more important and more profound than treaties. Today, we understand better the essence of that, which is common, we know how much we can lose. And that we want to defend it – together.” – EU President Donald Tusk

“To the people of France, I would like to say that Notre Dame Cathedral was like a gift to the human race. We share in the pain but we also thank you for this gift to civilization.” – Mayor of South Bend Indiana Pete Buttigieg (spoken in French)

And then, there was this:

“It is one of the great treasures of the world. The greatest artists in the world. Probably, if you think about it, I would say it might be greater than almost any museum in the world and it’s burning very badly. Looks like it’s burning to the ground.  That is beyond countries, that is beyond anything. That is a part of our growing up. It’s a part of our culture. It’s a part of our lives. That’s a truly great cathedral. I have been there, I have seen it. It’s a terrible scene.  They think it was caused by, at this moment they don’t know, but they think it was caused by renovation. I hope that’s the reason. Renovation, what’s that all about? It’s a terrible sight to behold.” – Donald Trump, Babbler in Chief

To make matters worse, Trump had earlier Tweeted his advice for fighting the fire:

“So horrible to watch the massive fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out. Must act quickly!” – Twitterfingers

This advice was so stupid that the Civil Defense Agency of France actually responded:

“The drop of water by air on this type of building could result in the collapse of the entire structure along with the firefighters who are currently doing their best to save Notre Dame.” – Sécurité Civile France

Trump simply cannot stand any event occurring anywhere in the world that might divert attention from himself even if that attention shows him for the idiot that he is.

So the Mueller report (or what is left of it) will be released on Thursday.  People have plans:

 

 

We’re in Texas so we’re stockpiling tamales, Topo Chico, and about a gallon of guacamole.  We’ll save the whiskey in case the report truly does exonerate Trump.

Let’s start off the week before Easter with an Easter egg hunt.  You can search Louie Gohmert’s campaign expenditures for this cycle.

Here’s what Alfredo found —

 

 

The boy likes his eatin’ meetin’s.  By the way, barbeque is spelled with a damn Q.

And he apparently loves his bank. I have never seen service charges like this on any other campaign expenditures.

 

 

You can trip on over there and see what you can find.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

And here is Southside Bank’s fee schedule.  Thanks to Fred Farklestone for the heads up on this.

 

You’re On, Sarah, Let’s Have a Smartness Contest

April 14, 2019 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, so there’s a brand new reason why congress cannot have Trump’s taxes: They are are not smart enough to understand them.

Sarah Sanders this morning on Fox News.

“I don’t think Congress, particularly not this group of congressmen and women, are smart enough to look through the thousands of pages that I would assume President Trump’s taxes will be,” Sanders told “Fox News Sunday.”

She added: “My guess is most of them don’t do their own taxes, and I certainly don’t trust them to look through the decades of success that the president has and determine anything.”

Sarah, Honey, I would not get into a smart-match with Trump and anybody.  He better bring a cushion because he’s gonna get a butt whippin’.

Tomorrow the excuse will be that he’s not finished with this year’s taxes because he lost his crayons.

Thanks to Epp for the heads up.
