My company finally cut loose perhaps the world’s worst consultant. Guy hung on for 21 years. Convinced he was blackmailing the owner with some heinous pics or some such thing as all the dude did was rant about “libtards” when he wasn’t cutting and pasting the same replies into every email or protecting his swingline stapler.

But he’s right about this. Look at the guy in Texas. Or the guy in Pittsburgh. Or all of the others. White supremacy is the biggest terrorist threat we’re facing.

January 6th was a horrific travesty. There were dozens of disgusting things which lead up and happened that day. - numerous anti-authiritarian groups were infiltrated by FBI operatives and who planted ideas for radical action on Jan 6th. - two fake FBI prop bombs were planted outside DNC and RNC DC headquarters. - Capitol Police intentionally lowered the number of police present that day despite knowledge that a large potentially dangerous protest was to occur. - Mayor of DC denied Trump's offer of 10,000 national gaurd troops. - Crowd control barriers were not in place, instead just normal bicycle rack barriers were up. - over 100 of government operatives were present in the crowd, several were key instigators of the insurrection. - Capitol Police prematurely escalated the use of tear gas and rubber pellets to make the crowd angry. - inside the Capitol, government operatives lead protestors around including guiding them to the Pelosi's office as well as the main chambers. Yes, January 6th was a disgusting day in our history, where we had coordinated government actions entrap ordinary citizens.

Merry Christmas to me. I was pretty freaking naïve as to how confusing, time-consuming, and exhausting the hiring process works. The teacher shortage is real enough but there's no need at all for Social Studies teachers in Florida. Believe me, I tried. I got certified to teach Social Studies but those jobs get filled quickly. IT was when I got certified to teach math... BOOM! ... immediately ... that's when not just the emails and phone calls were returned, but headhunters appeared. Lions aside, 2023 has been a total sh*t year for me. For most of it, I took a job driving a wheelchair access van because it came with a vehicle. Strap people in and take them to doctors appointments or therapy mostly, but also grocery stores or the bank or the movies. It didn't pay much and I continue to not be getting any help since my wife's green card application has been held up for 11 months and counting. When I'd finally saved enough to buy a car, I switched to substitute teaching, which I can only do in Michigan, Florida has the program to put veterans into classrooms and is why I'm moving there. Been living with my sister, getting government assistance - so thank you taxpayers. I despise relying on the system and I wouldn't need it if they'd just process my wife's green card, who is anxious to get to work. She's a shoo-in once they get to her application, she entered legally, she's been married to a US citizen for seventeen years, and has three American citizen children, but the backlog is incredible. I'm rather proud of my kids. The three are all straight A students, including amazingly my son, who has turned everything around after being wrecked and confidence destroyed in the Chinese school system. He's also on the JV wrestling team. His sisters had thrived in the Chinese pressure cooker system which has now put them light years ahead of their peers (except in English), the youngest is only now getting on par in English. My oldest has already surpassed her classmates in English too, let alone everything else, she's loaded up with AP classes despite only being in 10th grade. She's absolutely amazing across everything: academics, art, sports, (looks too). So, anyway, when school re-opens again after the Christmas/New Year holiday, I'll be in the western Florida panhandle, teaching eighth grade math.

Following up my LOOK AT ME post with a little LOOK AT MEEEEEEEE… Wifey’s doing pretty well. First line med has improved her bloodwork results considerably. Follow-up labs tomorrow to check numbers again. The improvement was expected. The real test will be in the following 1-2 weeks to see if they maintain or drop right back down. The nice thing here is that the hematologist has told us that if she doesn’t improve and maintain, he’s going right to the miracle drug. No fkking around. Just wants to try this first-line so that the miracle drug can be reserved for the future in case sh*t ever gets completely sideways. Apparently, with her disorder, there’s data that some patients only respond to a treatment once and then it’s never effective for them again.

I suspected you were gay, but this pretty much proves it.

FOCK CANCER. I hope to never see the focking downtown Virginia Mason building ever again. I had a nice pre-func at a pizza place between my CT scan and meeting with oncologist. Old Rasputin cures cancer!!!! Now I need to decide what beer to drink tonight.

Some dude was parked across the street in a mini van blasting a football game, He kept screaming I need two more Focking catches from you piece of sh!t. This went on for like 20 minutes while he was spilling nachos all over himself. Think he was having some kinda fantasy football meltdown.

Sad News from Disney! CNN just reported that Disney new film "Jet Black", the African American version of 'Snow White " has been canceled. All of the 7 dwarfs: Dealer, Stealer, Mugger, Forger, Drive By, Homeboy and Shank have refused to sing "Hi Ho, Hi Ho" because it offends black prostitutes. They also said no way in hell they are gonna sing "Its off to work we go"

People don't seem to understand that this election is a battle between Elitism and Populism and so they really don't understand what is at stake in the next election and why this election is the most important election in American history. First of all, let's clear up with the two terms mean. Elitism is not about wealth. Wealth is a secondary issue and a lot of ordinary people are Eltisits. Elitism is the ruling of people through unelected and unchecked institutions. They have power because of their title, and we must trust and obey their authority. Elitist organizations can be non-government organizations (American Bar Associate, American Medical Association), quasi-government organizations (Federal Reserve), government organization (three-letter Executive Branch organizations), corporations (big tech, media, big Pharma), and international organizations (UN, WTO, World Bank, IPCC). Populism is about representing the interests of ordinary people. Generally this means protecting their rights such as free speech, worship, right to petition, self-defense, privacy, unreasonable searches, self-incrimination, jury trial of their peers, property seizures, equal treatment, equal opportunity. The United States foundation was to break away from the Elitism which dominated Europe and the rest of the world. America was not made great because of diversity or even democracy, it was made great because we empowered the individual to succeed and do great at whatever they choose to do and enjoy the rewards of their accomplishments. Trump's popularity has absolutely zero to do with fascism or racism or whatever -ism the Elitists try to label it. Trump's popularity has to do with the ordinary people seeing their rights being squeezed away. Whether it be the Elitist's war of drugs, war on terror, the Red Scare, war on poverty....every single one of our individual rights is under constant assault from the Elitists and most of our rights are hanging on by a thread. The 'undesirables' of America are made largely of the rural conservative American families who 'cling to their guns and bible'. Their trust in every one of those Elitists institutions has gone to zero, and rightfully so. Free Speech is history as big tech through AI is cleansing the internet of speech which does not conform to what the institutions deem to be 'the truth'. January 6th served to criminalize populist-themed protests as 'insurrection' and a 'war on Democracray.' Elitist's approved protests can burn down cities, but even the slightest violence by populist protesters is met with iron-fist prosecutions. The DC court system has become a rubber stamp for all kinds of questionable search warrants for the NSA or FBI. All financial transactions are freely given by the financial institutions whenever asked for by the government. Federal criminal trials are often held in DC, which have jury pools almost exclusively made up of government employees or those supportive or dependant upon the elites. The whole idea that this is a jury of their peers is a cruel joke which gaurentee the conviction of any populist. What is happening to self-defense is sickening. A populist is always prosecuted while anyone that is associated with an elitist cause is always the victim. It never matters that the elitist side started and escalated the fight, it is always the populist who stands trial. Thankfully, the Elitists war on guns has seen many defeats, but they are getting more creative and will eventually find success in destroying gun manufacturers asd suppliers as the corruption of the court system gets worse. This war by the Elitists on individuals has been going on for decades, largely undetected by the masses. Even in 2016, it just seemed like Trump's talking about the swamp and deep state just seemed like political rhetoric to most, and there was still basic trust in our institutions. In fact, I believe Trump grossly underestimated the level of corruption that existed. The last 4 years has opened up a lot of people's eyes as to what is really going on. What is in the ballot this next election is not Republican vs. Democrat, fascism vs. democracy, conservstive vs. liberal. It is not about abortion, education, taxes, economy, racism, or any other single issue. What is on the ballot is if we are going to restore the government to one which respects the basic rights of individuals or cede our rights to the unelected unchecked authoritarian Elitists.

Slowly but surely Biden is cleaning up all of Trumps failures

Asks the person of the party that INSISTS I use their correct pronouns and how DARE I misgender them.

Tardcore’s family should thank me for shaming Dad into spending the holiday with them. I did the same thing to Peefoam but he has no one.

Well I know why she's a single mom

Fūck all of you that didn't stand up to your masters to prevent these draconian lock downs and mandates. Yeah, your team probably gave a half hearted statement against the overreactions buried in a sea of qualifications or silent compliance. Nah, your team was given correct feedback in real time that shìt was sideways and the answer after fighting it for two years was, "oh well. We tried our best." Nah mfer, your "best" fūcked everyone over real good. We ain't forgetting shìt. If that's the best your team has to offer, then your team needs to sit the fūck down and shut the fūck up and let the people who had common sense make decisions.

Jokes on them. They are voting whether they know it or not.

It touched me in the wallet and robbed me, but it lobotomized your brain.

Geek meet up with @BunnysBastatrds and @RaiderHaters Revenge

He's a c0cksucker. Like you are

Really Tim? I'm just curious what your reaction will be when I post an anecdotal story of a black person killing a white one and shouting racially charged things at them before doing so. Will you lament how much racism the black community has towards white people based on that one incident? I highly doubt it. Which is why you're just a hack.

You need to take a long look in the mirror. Think about the thousands of posts you've made here and what they are about. It's disturbing.

I am guessing that pretty much every Geek at this bored would rather hang with Bunny than you. You are a tool.

This is what happens when an incompetent federal government fails to secure the border and unscrupulous cheapskates, who want to save a few bucks, create an incentive for illegals to break the law to come here for a low paying job.

That’s a stretch.

It occurs to me reading about cancer in a few other threads that I am overdue for an update. All is still good. Had my last scan about a month ago and again no changes. I see I mentioned my chest surgery above. That went... meh. I had a lot of downtime and some new scars for what was overall not much improvement IMO. The interesting news is that at my appointment last week, my PA broached the subject I knew would eventually come -- stopping treatments. I've been doing Keytruda for 25 months now, and it seems that 2 years is the "typical" regimen. It's hella expensive so I'm sure that the insurance company would appreciate it. And at some point, you need to find out if maybe all of the cancer is indeed gone. I do have that one small nodule that's been sitting there the whole time which is too small to biopsy, and perhaps that could justify continuing the treatments, but if I play armchair oncologist (which I often do) I would guess that that nodule is non-cancerous. The PA did say that if the cancer returned I could restart immuno and/or chemo, which obviously were effective in the past, so that takes a lot of the concern away. Still, it's scary. I'm already nervous at my quarterly scans, although if I'm being honest I've been more confident as time goes on. If we stop treatments though, I'll be somewhat of a wreck as the scans approach, for a while anyway. Still, it would be nice to not get poked like a pincushion every 3 weeks. As I type this I'm looking at several bruises on my forearms from blown veins from failed IV attempts. My veins are shot and could use a rest. The internet says that the 5 year survival rate for patients who do 2 years of Keytruda is 81%. That's amazing, and even more so because I think that includes all deaths, including natural causes. Immunotherapy is somewhat binary -- either your cancer responds or it doesn't, and if it doesn't you don't generally make it to 2 years of treatment. Before such treatments, you could never get rid of my type of cancer once it metastasized, and it was just a matter of time until it (or the chemo) killed you. Now though... this stuff is still quite new, so who knows? I have a few more treatments scheduled then meet the oncologist after my next scan which is in 8 weeks, so we'll discuss it then. Hope all is well with you and yours.
