This bookstore in Alberton, Montana claims to have 100,000 volumes. Been a while since I've been in there but they make heavy use of the basement. Gi-normous selection of old westerns and western-interest books. Tiny town, known as white-water rafting portal.

Our junior Senator from Montana broke the hand or arm of a US Marine veteran while attempting to provide unqualified and untrained assistance to law enforcement. Shouldn't he have a spot in the scrum?

Well, we did it because of the protesters

Nukes

I mean they’re building an ICBM

We did it defensively because Iran was going to attack us

I mean Israel was gonna do it anyway so we did it too

They were gonna attack us because Israel was gonna attack them so we attacked them

Once again, a single cartoon tells more truth that the entire US Congress.

Thanks to Rick McKee for making our current situation easy to understand.

If you look at the Epstein files as a sort of archaeological site, it's just a huge organized crime "Lolita" scheme that never got properly investigated or prosecuted because of the people involved. It will all get unearthed in the end. People from all corners will make that happen.

He could go with "Independent Conservative Libertarian Caucusing with the Democrats."

Near a big mall there. A place where you can see people in traditional Arab dress ice skating when it's 110 degrees F outside.

Their Large Language Model is the 32K "Trends in Reality TV," not the 900 Gb "American History." Expect errors when they analyze data, formulate opinions, and then speak.

Another nice sunset, this time from our kitchen window. Inspired to wash dishes, now. Plus it’s my turn.

I was thinking of this just the other day. . . the lyrics:

"You have the right to free speech
As long as you're not
Dumb enough to actually try it"

That was back in the 80's. Nothing ever changes.

Sunset lighting up the west-northwest. Those mountains should have a lot more snowpack this time of year but this is what they have this time around.

Keith tried to get him to take the E string off and tune in Open G and Abe says: "Nah, I hook my thumb over. Watch how I play "Homework" by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Imma give you a bass line, most of the rhythm part and some of the lead all in one take. Listen to this, bro."

My faith in humanity can be renewed now that this is in my short term memory instead of the actual video of her sworn testimony.

The word "supercilious" comes to mind but then I remember that he's a soybean farmer.

It's more of a ratcheting tie-down strap than a belt.

Supreme Court Justices not invited to State of the Union speech and permanently banned from the ballroom boondoggle if and when it gets built?

Thanks for the rare nod toward the Constitution and the American people, U. S. Supreme Court.
