[Covid] Where can I get tested for free? |
![]() [Santa’s List Bonus] If Santa keeps track of naughty kids every year, and the year doesn’t start until January 1st, that leaves 6 days after Christmas and New Year left undocumented, so nothing you do can be held against you! |
[Crooks] The Senate Armed Services Committee has proposed $301 million in new funding to enhance housing safety and oversight on U.S. military bases, following Reuters reports documenting squalid conditions in privately run (Balfour Beatty) military homes |

[“Cop fight”] Those two cops are bullies with badges. “I am saddened by this incident, and it will be fully investigated,” Sheriff Rick Ramsay said in a statement. Surprise! Surprise! The Sheriff reinstated those officers saying they were only defending themselves. KW police says they were intoxicated. County Mounties are arguing with KW police over who can lie the best. |

Is it legal to shoot “immuniees” if they won’t get the vaxs? |
[illogic] I received lots of BS from emailers, but the holy rollers take the cake with their mental masturbations and illogic: “If you choose not to believe in God and go about doing whatever you please and God does exist, you will suffer eternally.” |

This is the most useful gift I received this year. |
She is picking on an old man without a mask while he is trying to eat! She’s nuts and violent and looks like a flight attendant. Also, she’s not wearing a mask. Video |
![]() [Self-Shooting Gun] Could Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin be the victim of a self-shooting gun as he claims in a recent interview. Link |
[Marriage for Better or Worse] On Christmas day, my son who has been married for over five years and has two kids, asked me when the “better” part starts. I told him after the divorce. |

[Socialism For The Rich] Student debt: $1.87 trillion, tax cut for the rich: $1.9 trillion. I’d like to live in a country where we bail out students who need it instead of CEOs who don’t. |
![]() Wounds such as my father received at that time meant certain death. However, he managed to crawl back towards the American perimeter, getting hung up and entangled on the barbwire that surrounded their position. He laid outstretched at a 45-degree angle, upper torso turned downward, with blood gushing from his nose and mouth. He was helpless and dying, not being able to free himself from the wire’s grasp. A comrade-in-arms made his way forward and cut my father’s clothing free from the serrated clutches of steel imprisoning him. He was rescued and transported to England alive–miraculously recovering from his combat injuries. He was restored to active duty and assigned to a Mounted Military Police Unit, patrolling the Russian and German boarders on horseback after the war. Eventually my father returned to the United States and had me. All of my uncles having served in the South Pacific welcomed my father back home. They all joined in and celebrated the birth of his first born son. Please allow me to skip ahead and lead into an article entitled “A Soldier’s Journey”. At brief intervals during the upcoming months, I will attempt to bring everyone up-to-date with snippets that fill in the gaps leading up to the start of that Journey.

Only in the Keys can your dreams be more exciting than your realities. Boring! |
![]() [Old Models] As the year comes to an end, I urge you to take care of yourself and avoid accidents because spare parts for old models, like you, are no longer in stock. |
[Profit Bad] I love the holidays, but they remind me how the mercantile class rules this rock. You buy their over-priced junk and it falls apart in days, doesn’t fit like it should, or smells funny, then you try to contact the company. Yeah right, lots of luck doing that unless you speak Chinese. There’s no honor in marketing after they have your money. |
![]() ‘Twas the night before Christmas, but Covid was here, So we all had to stay extra cautious this year. Our masks were all hung by the chimney with care, In case Santa forgot his and needed a spare… Link |
[Hair Cream] In the Florida Keys, you must use a 50/50 mixture of Imodium and Neosporin for hair cream. |
