Ok folks, listen up. We have this thing called the Bill of Rights. It's the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution; they were added and ratified as a package all at once in 1791. This outlines, yet does not restrict or limit fundamental rights/freedoms of US Citizens, but also puts limits and places guardrails on the power of the federal government. These are not rights "granted by our government", these are rights you're born with, and are protected to you from your government. People have rights, governments have powers and authorities, sometimes ironically granted to them by the people with the rights. Governments do not have rights. Please, and this isn't me throwing an insult, but educate yourselves on this. Your rights are not granted by the government, your rights are only recognized, even if begrudgingly, by the government.

More 1997 7.3 Powerstroke fun. So if you've followed along at all, you're aware of the 97 F250HD I picked up recently. It's kind of been a slug with any kind of towing, and a bit lackluster on some of the back roads I run, especially on hills. I was running it around the other day and noticed strange behavior under throttle - like it was pulling fuel momentarily throughout acceleration. Then I noticed it was not idling steady. Fairly consistent 100 to 300rpm drops. Unplugged the ICP sensor - yep - oil intrusion. Fired it up - consistent idle. Ran it down the road - much steadier gain through acceleration. With the ICP unplugged, the injector pressure is locked at 725psi. Normal range with a healthy ICP is usually between 450 and 550psi during startup, between 1,000 and 1,500psi under normal driving, and 2,500 to 3,000psi under load. I've been dealing with low psi, probably capping out around 1,800psi - but not just low psi - likely 300 to 500psi swings throughout everything. The new ICP sensor should be here tomorrow.

Fellas, if your wife kept #Glock Blocking you, would you do this? 🤔

You truly don't hate the media enough.

For the purposes of this poll we will be focused on LOCAL, not federal, law enforcement agencies. Poll below:

The rumors you've heard - and may or may not believe about GenX - think about those when you want to try insulting me. You're going to look like a retard, and I'm not going to care.

While we wait for the government’s brief in Viramontes, we figured we’d prepare for the usual bullshit. How many squares do you think they’ll hit? Are we getting a full blackout?

Gasoline will plummet by 40cents a gallon very soon!

A big win for Ohioans this week. They deserve relief at the pump & now they’re getting it.

Anyone who’s seen my posts about the bite I took from my eldest Rottweiler yesterday - I want to make something clear. I’m not choosing a path of destruction, retaliation, or fear‑based handling. I do not fear my Rottweilers. This bite happened during a routine, previously normal interaction that we’ve done countless times without issue. It wasn’t dominance, rebellion, or him “turning.” It was a moment of instinct in a tight situation, and I understand exactly how it happened. It won't happen again. I’ve raised Rottweilers for a long time. I’m very aware of how to deal with them, how they think, and what actually works. Because of that, the corrective measures I’m using would look “weak” to people who don’t live with working‑breed dogs or who think punishment equals control. That’s fine. I’m not managing a cartoon villain, I’m managing a powerful, emotional animal I’ve raised for years, who made a mistake in a specific context. Here’s what his consequences actually are: He is no longer allowed to freely re‑enter the house. He stays on leash until we are both inside, calmly and deliberately. He is receiving no cookies or treats. Food rewards are suspended until the routine and boundaries are reset. He is receiving no attention from me, positive or negative. No petting, no scolding, no emotional feedback, just structure and neutrality. These aren’t dramatic punishments because drama doesn’t fix anything. These are boundary resets, and they matter far more than theatrics - and, they *work*. I’m tightening the conditions, removing privileges, and preventing the situation from ever repeating without destroying trust or creating fear. We will *both* recover from this, and once things are squared away, everyone will be happy again. These kinds of things can and do happen with Rottweilers; I do have scars on my body - I've been doing this a long time. Not a single scar I've earned from a Rottweiler has been laid from aggression. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast

So I have 2 puncture wounds on my middle finger knuckle, a rather substantial tear on the palm area of my pointer finger, and some unsubstantial cuts at the end of my pointer finger. Pretty swollen at this point as well. This was post initial cleaning and bandaging, had to run to the store. Removed the bandages, took pics because that's what you do, hit it with peroxide again, reapplied bandages.

The tyrannical, theofascist mullahs of Iran have literally launched an information campaign encouraging Americans to "Vote Democrat" in the upcoming midterms. In a ~25-page letter to the American people, the mullahs tell Americans they can “change the makeup of the government,” to “remove from power the evil, deceitful, and violent politicians who are responsible for America’s current state,” and to “take back control.” But hey Doomers, be sure to stay home and not vote because Trump only fulfilled 80% of your wildest hopes and dreams. The mullahs who want a nuclear bomb so they can end your life and the lives of every other American are totally down with your plan.

Some of you are gonna love this. My eldest Rottweiler just bit the crap out of me. It's pretty unpleasant.

You can spot an AI post instantly: the polished tone, the suspicious lack of typos, the neatly packaged thoughts, and those short, dramatic sentences that should’ve been one long sentence but got chopped up for fake emphasis. It’s basically a signature at this point. And yes, this post is absolutely AI. Now, this part of the post isn't AI - but it's SO obvious when people use AI to write posts. If you remember them, think back to the kit car Lamborghini Countach on an unaltered, stock wheelbase Fiero frame. They were - and are blatantly obvious imposters; easy to spot because that "squished" Lambo just "wasn't right". That's how your AI posts look. If you read this, and wonder if anyone thinks your posts are AI generated, you should probably stop using AI to generate your posts.

Vietnamese Grandma is based 😭🔥 “I love Donald Trump. He’s strong. He said he do it. He do it.” “Never vote for Democrat. No one. They asshoIe.”

I asked Grok the same thing.

Blocked for speaking reality - imagine that. This is the reality that was spoken.

Older pic, but that's what I jam on.

People saying they’re “staying home in the midterms to punish Republicans” were never voting Republican in the first place. That crowd ignores everything that did get done - and a lot of it wasn’t small. It was structural, long‑term, and generational. If your representative or senator isn’t doing the job, you fix that in the primary. That’s where you replace dead weight, redirect the party, and hold your own side accountable. Trying to “teach a lesson” in the general election doesn’t discipline the party. It just hands power to the people who will undo the very gains you claim didn’t happen. That’s not strategy, it’s self‑inflicted damage. If you want change, you use the primary. If you want to protect the progress already made, you show up in the general. Anything else is cutting your own nose off to spite your face. If your goal is to keep the current majority and its agenda, show up in November. If your goal is to change personnel or priorities inside the majority, do the harder work in the primary. Those are different objectives and they use different elections. The damage done to our country was never going to be fixed in 2 years. It's not going to be fixed in 4 years. We are where we are today - not because of the Republican party. Democrats had far more years in which they simultaneously controlled the presidency and both chambers, plus decades of near-continuous House majorities. That is when the largest structural expansions of federal programs and institutions were enacted. The programs enacted in those earlier periods of Democratic unified control created the largest permanent claims on future tax revenue. They did not just raise spending in the year they passed; they locked in growing, open-ended obligations. These things took decades to build - they're not going to be undone overnight. Stand on your gains - red across the ticked in November.
