Happy birthday America: 250 years

We're doing burgers tomorrow. Since I'm cooking, may try and do a hybrid andy-wala burger.

If I eliminate the burger, I'll never hear the end of it.

We’re doing hot dogs, potato salad, deviled eggs, corn on the cob, baked beans, green salad, and peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream😁
 
Should be a wild weekend in Chicago.

The body count should be published on Monday. Tuesday at the latest.

Holiday Weekend!​


We may or may not be traveling, so updates might be sporadic.

The heat is sticking around for a little while, but there's a good chance of rain in the forecasts every day. Some people are off Friday and others are extending their weekend to take in Monday.

Therefore, we're going to set the Holiday Weekend Casualty Prediction Model as follows:

  • 1700 hours Friday until 0500 hours Monday
A full 60 hours. And we'll make a wild stab at the numbers:

  • 8 dead, 20 wounded
As a tie-breaker, we'll predict 2 "mass" shootings (four casualties regardless of ending body temperature).

As a further tie-breaker, we're going to predict a single firework death involving some sort of mortar round. If anyone knows how to track missing fingers, toes and eyeballs, let us know - we can't seem to find a HeyJackass.com category for those.

Make your guesses, place your bets, and stay safe.

Officers Shot​


Sketchy details, but both are reportedly doing okay....as okay as you can be after being shot:

  • Two Chicago police officers were shot on the city's South Side Friday evening, sources told CBS News Chicago.

    Reports of officers down near 79th and Chappel on the border of South Shore and South Chicago shortly after 5 p.m.

    Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation said the incident began as a traffic stop. One officer was struck in the vest, the other in the arm. The sources said both officers are expected to be OK and are at University of Chicago Medical Center where their conditions are stable.

    The civilian was taken to Northwestern Medical Center for treatment. Their condition was not immediately known.
Amazing how SeeBS calls the OFFENDER a "civilian" instead of gunman or "alleged" shooter or something. We sure wish the police would get that kind of biased reporting once in a while.

The OFFENDER is supposedly in critical condition after taking at least one round to the torso. Hopefully, he dies of internal bleeding or sepsis or something misery inducing. **** SeeBS, too.

Best wishes and get well soon Officers.

New Poll: Nearly Half of Americans Don’t Know What America’s 250th Is Celebrating​


A new national survey from the Cato Institute, conducted in collaboration with Morning Consult of 2,253 Americans ahead of July 4th and America’s 250th anniversary, finds nearly half (46%) of Americans don’t know what America’s 250th anniversary commemorates. A little more than half (53%) correctly answered that it was the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.

Are you surprised any? Liberals aided by their sycophants running the public schools are doing a fantastic job destroying the history of this nation.

--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--

Fires are causing some serious situation and some jackasses still wont hold off fireworks. I got some as well but I also dont want to burn my neighborhood down.

Ironically the worst offenders in this regard are college dumbasses and areas where Hispanic communities are. Go figure.

Where I live, there is a county-wide ban on fireworks, recreational shooting, etc. I'm not sure if there will be fireworks at the fairgrounds or not.

Meanwhile, next door in Coconino County, this is still uncontained:

That's the Point Fire north of Sedona. I took that photo yesterday afternoon at the truck stop in Cordes Junction. That would put the fire about 60 miles to the north.

That fire is not the only one but it is the largest in the state. A few people with fire works could start a horrible prairie fire if they wanted to.
 
Toys of big boys..

Cheers and congratulations..
