   Here is where I note my son was/is very close friends with a Buss family member. Suffice to say the family all have giant IQ’s … and common sense to go along with it.

   1. Small world. Jerry Buss fired (at Magic Johnson’s urging) my sister’s godfather and longtime friend of the family Paul Westhead. My Mom used to babysit his wife (Cassie Malloy) a long, long time ago.

2. Higher Education.

   1. Penn State to State Pen

      Sorry, someone had to say it

   2. My nephew was a frat brat at a PSU. Visited him once, and the house was something out of Animal House.

      1. A few years after I graduated … my younger frat brothers burned down our Frat. Speaking of Animal House. Bummer. No more Free Parking 1 block from CAL’s Memorial Stadium on game day for us alums.

3. Institutionalizing election fraud.

   1. Lies, lies – ALL LIES! Hamas not voting in American elections! Trump Russian agent! Hunter Biden laptop not real! Fauci American hero!

      1. Meanwhile … the SCOTUS fiddles while America burns to the ground.

4. CNBC singles out Liawatha for her latest lies.

   1. “The left and people that don’t like the president and don’t want things to work. And, you know, Senator Elizabeth Warren will come on and say, “Inflation’s out of control, and the economy is getting killed by what’s happening—by these tariffs.” This—3%, with the market at new highs—and, really, we haven’t seen inflation, you know, go back up to 3%. Maybe it will this week. Maybe we’ll see it. But none of these things—none of these horrible things—have happened, yet they still talk like they’re happening. It’s amazing.”

      Wow … they just described KM … perfectly accurately.

5. https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/08/17/mike-layton-eyes-return-to-toronto-city-council-in-october-election/

   CP24, a BellMedia-run outlet, pushes Mike Layton in this missive. Mr. Layton, the son of the late NDP Jack Layton and the step-son of Herhonor Olivia Chow, announced he is running for a seat on Torono city council. Corporate support is important.

   1. Great!
      First we had Ausma Malik.
      Then we had Olivia Chow.
      If we get Mike Layton, what’s next, boils, hail and a plague of locusts?

6. Progressive morality.
   Lauding lunatics.

7. True friendship.
   The narrow-minded celebrity.

8. The campaign that hates America.

   1. Wow. The Muslim invaders must REALLY hate this advertisement …

11. Nice movie. I gather it had a less successful sequel, “He Scootered By Day”. Considered a bit frivolous.

12. Music subscription fatigue …
    https://youtu.be/oiOYmTuIKXo?is=hSiYA8jw7VAc9USI

    50% of current vinyl buyers … don’t own a turntable. Wha! Wha! whaaaaat!?
    Evidently they buy the vinyl lp’s as wall (art) hangings … and to support $$ their favorite artists.

    Weird ~ ~

    1. Bummer … another one bites the dust – to – dust

    https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2026/08/18/chinese-state-shipping-companies-back-away-chokepoints-threatened-iran/

    Oil prices will EXPLODE to $200/bbl! Fertilizer choke point. We’re all gonna DIE. Iran is winning.

    Uh … nope. Everyone … even communist China has found work-arounds. All Iran has accomplished is to drive their primary customer into the arms of their sworn Muslim enemy, Saudi Arabia. Iran is finished. Just let them slowly starve to death. Stay the course President Trump.
