Howling

Wolves

The stink still lingers from the 2020 election. Did Proposition 114, which mandated wolf re-introduction, actually pass?

Remember, per the Democrats in state office, our mail in ballot election is the “Gold Standard”. I mailed in my ballot and received notification it was counted. Not received, counted.  Counted before Election Day? No chance for mischief here folks, just move on. 

P)regressive Entrepreneurs

New ways to make money off illegal immigrants and tax payers shows the far left are still hustlers.

 Of course, it is for the children.

How Many Vote Democrat?

Cynic me, I believe many administrators don’t give a rats ass about the children. Would education improve if most took their useless degrees and entered the private sector?

Surprise!

Many of the minority owned businesses building the Obamination Library in Chicago haven’t been paid, some for years.

United Health Care

My health insurance company causes me some sympathy for Luigi Mangione. They have recently forced a new wrinkle, a referral. Before I can have my annual checkup at the same cardiology practice responsible for my pacemaker, where I have been going since 2014, I now need a referral from my “primary health care physician”.

By good fortune, Medtronics, my   pacemaker supplier, has provided me with a remote device using the cell phone network. Every six months I hold a reader over the pacemaker. In just a few minutes my pacemaker history is transmitted. If they see anything of concern they contact the cardiologists.

Why UHC? That is who Sisty says I should have. She has been involved with a community health organization for thirty plus years and on their board for decades.

(My sister calls me “Monster”. My comeback was Norm Crosby’s,

"Once upon a time, there lived a very beautiful girl named Rindercella and her two sisty uglers")

 Next week is my annual VA checkup where I prove I’m still alive. My thought is to see if the Doc I see can do the “referral” b.s.

Car Story

Being civil costs little so why be an asshole.

One Saturday an arrogant group drove on the lot in a VW 4x4 Camper van. We had a ramp to the showroom to bring cars on display in and out. The VW driver chose to park on the ramp. While not my ‘up’, I noticed the activity.

 I was coming back into the showroom and heard these arrogant assholes running their mouths about our prices and our thievery.

This was in our showroom with other customers present. I was irritated by their behavior.

 By happenstance, there was an open box of sheet rock nails on the window sill so I placed one under each tire of the VW.

Maybe 45 minutes later, on a test drive, we went past the VW on the side of the road with three flat tires. The arrogance was gone from the group; in fact, they looked forlorn.

Is there a point to this story? Whatever you want it to be.

As always, YMMV

Wolves and Mountain Lions Need Food - Donate Your Pet (or Child)

Wolves 

Cute and adorable, right? Watch the video.

MORE

Not so cute and adorable for ranchers.

MORE

Now the same envirowhackos who got wolves introduced by ballot initiative were able to get an initiative banning hunting mountain lions on the fall ballot. Last year 504 lions were taken legally.

The voters for these initiatives overwhelmingly live along the Front Range. The voters against overwhelmingly live in rural areas. Ain’t democracy wonderful?

Unintended consequences? A major lion habitat is the Rocky Mountain foothills, also known as the Front Range. Domestic pets are much easier prey than wild animals.

Nederland is about sixteen miles from Boulder up Boulder Creek Canyon.

Per a 2023 Colorado Outdoors Mag report, there have been 25 known mountain lion attacks on a human since 1990 – the last verified mountain lion-related death in Colorado took place in 1997 and involved a 10-year-old in Rocky Mountain National Park.Mar 25, 2024

Social Security Data Breach

Seems up to 2.9 billion SSN are compromised. I found a link to check mine and I am among them. Interesting that the address is over 15 years old and my d.o.b. is wrong per the site I visited. I’ve had a credit freeze with the three major credit reporting agencies for several years. In addition, I use an AVG program to keep me off data broker’s lists. I should be ok.

Forget kneecaps. Every hacker located should have their fingers and thumbs broken, one digit at a time.

Shoplifters

Added an item to the cart, and paid for it. Once home, opened the package and found it empty. Guess someone opened the package, pocketed the contents, and put the package back on the shelf. A $5 item – not worth going back to the store. Lesson learned? Shake a package before putting it in the cart. Even old dogs can learn new tricks.

Having more than enough accumulated sins to answer for, I don’t add more by shoplifting.

Travels with Banner-things we see

 Don’t blame her

The Democrat Congresswoman from my district isn’t attending the DNC. As a matter of course, the GOP operatives are attacking her.

MORE

Maybe she finds her time and funds can better be spent doing other things since several pundits have reclassified her race from, “leans Democrat” to "toss up".

Death by a thousand cuts? Natural Gas

MORE

Other than seeing their own energy bills go up, do any of these assholes face any serious consequences from their policy decisions? Related question? How can agencies set policy decisions without enabling legislation?

My bet some smart lawyers are already seeing how the Supreme Court Loper decision can be applied to state agencies.

How long will Colofornia remain blue?

Statewide, unaffiliated voters now number 1.8 million, or 48%. Democrats are at 1.2 million, or 27%, and Republicans at 900,000 are at 24%

As a natural course of action, the shellback Republicans continue to go out of their way to piss off Independents. Currently, they are so embroiled in internal power struggles they can’t present a united front. Rather, they seemly try to sabotage each other. The Democrats just sit back. Why interrupt your enemy when they are making mistakes?

 Why do I care? Reining in the (P)regressive whack jobs won’t be accomplished with the current infighting. I dislike the GOP positions far less than the Emperor Polis crowd.

The Coming Storm – Cell Phones

Banning cell phones in schools? I feel for the teachers and administrators in this fight.
