Either way, an amazing sight.
How Elections are bought
Rhys Williams works at Whole Foods in Fort Collins. He is 24
years old. Federal Election Commission records show he donated $73,752 through
ActBlue in 2025—113 separate transactions to Democratic campaigns and
committees. A Whole Foods employee in Colorado earns $15 to $21 per hour. That
translates to $31,200 to $43,680 gross annual income. After taxes: $24,336 to
$34,070 take-home pay. Williams donated 216% of his likely net income. Colorado
Secretary of State records confirm Williams exists. He registered as a Democrat
on December 6, 2023. His address matches the FEC filings. The donations are
real. The math is not.”
He is one of thousands, maybe tens of thousands across
the country.
Bureaucrats
Trivial complaint.
Please note the potential “gotcha” police can use if they
need something to inconvenience you. I wonder how many staff hours were spent
coming up with that regulation.
Colorado Prisons
When we were doing offsite sales around Colorado, I
became acquaintances of several correctional officers who bought our cars.
After hearing some of their problems, I have been more aware of the sorry state
of our prisons and the near total indifference of (P)regressives . While
Colorado has no death penalty, twelve prisoners have died in traffic accidents
while riding in poorly maintained and unsafe prison transport vehicles. The
situation only gets worse.

While not sympathetic to criminals in general (you did
the crime, do the time) the prisons, along with highways and law enforcement,
are a primary state responsibility, and on a lesser level, counties and cities.
These don’t seem to concern our blue state aficionados.
Partial Return to Sanity
The environazi EPA overreach is being cut back. The idea
“good ideas” can force engineering solutions is being recognized as not working.

It is a start.

Car Story
Harsh
Half deals or split commissions are common in the car
biz. A customer comes in and ask for you by name but you are not available The
salesperson makes a sale. You are on ½ of the commission.
More common is a turn. The salesperson isn’t making
progress and goes to the desk (manager) who sends another salesperson to talk
to the customer. A sale is made.
Conflicts arise when the salesperson “lot drops” a
customer without going to a manager first. Another sales person sees this. They
approach the customer and end up making a sale. The lot dropper is not entitled
to anything but a serious counseling session with the manager.
This leads us to Mr. Artie Pruitt. He snaked me out of a
deal and I found out. After a robust private meeting with me in the bullpen he
decided to take his aching ribs to Down the Road Motors.
One day at a Ford dealership in Kirkland, WA he suffered
an aneurism on the showroom floor while talking to a couple. While all the
drama of 911, EMTs, etc. another salesman took the couple to another area and
ended up with a sale. Artie was d.o.a at the hospital.
This brings us to the question, is Artie entitled to ½
the commission?
He didn’t make a proper turn with a manager, he lot
dropped the customer. and he no longer works here.
Political Correctness
Background: My middle son is high on the Asbergers Scale
and has little use for social graces. When he decides to speak, he is clear and
concise. Growing up he was a huge fan of professional wrestling and wrestled in
middle school.
During the Presidential election, he called the Democrat
candidate come’allah, offending several people who corrected his pronunciation.
He replied, “Surely you remember the wrestler, Kamala the Cannibal?”
As Always, YMMV

"reset his operating system" Oooopsie!
You think?
One wonders 'who' was funneling money through that guy... sure they were. Re the plates, my ass would have been arrested, I just stacked the tabs year after year.
Almost everyone I know, including me, stacks tabs. I slit mine several times with a razor blade so they can't be removed whole. Still, a police officer wanting to find something to get you on will look.
One question that will likely never be known is how much of the money funneled through people like him is taxpayer dollars given to NGOs?
Behind Every Man or Women in Uniform Is A Heart That Beats,
And A Family That Waits,
And A Story Written In Courage.
These Are The Men And Women Who Move Forward When Others Step Back.
They Stand Guard While We Rest, or in some cases just make trouble for the rest of us.
Answer Calls On The Hardest Days,
And Carry Weight Most Of Us Will Never Truly See
Yet They Show Up Every Time, and put their own Lives onthe Line..
Support Is More Than A Word.
It Is Gratitude Spoken Clearly, and Defended by the Brave People in the Police Department, and in ICE..
It Is Remembering That Safety, Freedom, And Peace Are Not Accidental.
They Are Protected Daily By Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and yes even people from ICE Serving Either Far From Home, or in our Home Towns Cities.
Police Officers, National Guard members, and Men from ICE Facing Uncertainty Every Shift,
Firefighters Walking Into Flames,
And Emergency Responders Bringing Calm Where There Is Chaos.
They Don’t Ask For Praise, they are only Doing Their Jobs..
They Ask For Trust. For Respect. For The Simple Recognition That Their Work Matters —
That They Matter. Amd That We Support Them For The Job That They Are Doing Tp Protect Us from the Dangerous Vcriminals Lurking From Within.
We Honor The Sacrifices No One Sees,
The Sleepless Nights, The Quiet Bravery, And For The Familiem Waiting For Them Tp Come Home Alive And Well.
And The Love They Give To A World That Too Often Forgets To Say Thank You.
So Let It Be Known We See You. And We Appreciate You.
We Stand With You. And We Thank You.
And We Are Grateful Beyond Words For Every Life You Protect,
Every Risk You Take,
And Every Promise You Keep, To Keep Us Safe, And Sound.
Off topic, spam, but this one I'll allow.
Your son has a certain wisdom.
Near photographic memory. has enough books to open a used book store, and can do complex math in his head. Looks like an ax murderer. Gentle soul until provoked.
