Downtime

I'll be offline for several days, but you know where the drink cabinet is, so help yourself. 

Everybody have a good week: stay safe, stay vigilant and stay free.

I'll leave you with this lovely musical number from the archives of Hee Haw by Jimmy Riddle and Jackie Phelps.

Update  Via Veeshir in the comments section of the Halloween post, here's a good Halloweenish video featuring an old Paco Enterprises favorite, Cab Calloway.

"Democrat brownshirts"

 Don Surber:

As Donald Trump succeeds as president, the left gets more and more desperate. Our Founding Fathers never imagined forcing American officials confirmed by the Senate into a Witness Protection Program, but that is where we are today.

Happy Halloween!

 


Make sure you buy some insurance against having your yard tp'd by investing in an adequate supply of candy. And guard against inventory shrinkage.

For your Halloween consideration:


Layla the boxer and her pal, Lena, go trick or treating.


This dog is ready for any cat bullying.

Update  Seen in the Walmart parking lot the other day. That's either a Halloween decoration or the mosquitoes here are really out of control.


Happy Feet Friday

The Squadronaires are a Royal Air Force band that was formed during WWII and continued to perform until the mid-60s. The band was revived in 1985, and is still around today. Here's a righteous number called "Rustle of Swing", from 1946. Some great ensemble playing and solos.

Democrats: the new breed

This lunatic is rapidly becoming more representative of your typical Democrat than we ever could have imagined (well, that's probably not true; some of us have very active and even prescient imaginations): "Is This the Craziest White Progressive in America Right Now? What She Said About Charlie Kirk Is Insane."

Looks like the Democrats and their stooges in the executive branch were planning on a night of the long knives for Republicans

"‘100 Times Worse Than Watergate’: 3 Biggest Revelations From Latest ‘Arctic Frost’ Document Dump".

Fortunately, since Trump overcame all odds to win the presidency, it looks like these folks might have wound up bringing a knife to a gun fight; however, as the linked article points out, the saboteurs are still at work within the DOJ:

Sen. Ron Johnson said there is concern that FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi are being “sabotaged from within” but did not elaborate further.
“The records we are now making public … were not obtained from the agency. They were obtained through a whistleblower.

As the saying goes, the fish may start rotting at the head...

 ...but it doesn't end there: "The base of the Democratic Party has truly become nightmare to behold".

It is now very clear that the base of the Democratic Party is driven entirely by hate, envy, and a lust for power, based on an ignorance of history that is appalling. And my saying this not simply an opinion. It is founded on what that base itself has said repeatedly in the past year. First that base has increasingly thrown its support behind Hamas and its anti-Semitic hate of Israel and Jews. Next, it mourned the failed assassination attempts against Donald Trump, then celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk, a man whose primary goal was to foster free debate.

And the fanatics are not just the fringe: 

Even if Platner in Maine, Jones in Virginia, and Mandani in New York should all lose in their general elections, they are still going to attract about 40% of the vote in all three states. These numbers further explain why Democratic Party politicians have not disavowed any of these ugly candidates. They know their base, and wish to lead it.

This is one huge reason that I am not going out of my way to nurture friendships with any of my Democrat neighbors (of whom there are blessedly few). There's no excuse for them not to know the horrors that their party is embracing in its quest for permanent power; therefore, I have to assume they're ok with all the insane destructiveness and totalitarian impulses that the Democrat establishment represents today.
