jmowreader's JournalI know why the GOP likes George Santos so much
There’s an old joke about a police officer lying in ambush outside a bar. About 2:30 am he sees a guy stagger out of the tavern, drop his keys on the ground, scratch up the door of his old shitbox trying to get in, and head toward the exit to the parking lot weaving around. The cop pulls him and finds he’s absolutely sober. “Officer, I’m the designated decoy.”
George Santos is too fucking stupid to be anything but a distraction. While we over here are having fun at this guy’s expense - and it is fun - the professional criminals in the GOP are criming unhindered.
Keep one eye on George Santos because it’s a guilty pleasure…and the other on the Trumps.
Trump's 2017 Forms 1116 are...interesting
Form 1116 is Foreign Tax Credit.
One, they state he did business in 21 foreign nations and Puerto Rico. Among them are the UK and Ireland.
According to these forms, Trump made no income in either jurisdiction.
His Balmenie, Scotland, course opened in 2012.
His Turnberry, Scotland, course opened in 2014.
His Doonbeg, Ireland, course opened in 2002.
Only two things come to mind: the guy who runs the Putt-Putt in Fayetteville, NC, is more successful in the golf business than Trump is, or these tax returns are Trucker Logbook-level works of fiction.
Are there other Christmas ghost stories besides the Dickens one?
The Andy Williams song “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” talks about scary ghost stories. Are there more than A Christmas Carol?

Speaking of George Santos...
You do realize it's only going to be a matter of time before we discover his name isn't George Santos, he's straight, he's married to a woman, and he's a white guy who wears makeup to look Hispanic.
At this point in time, if he walked up to me and said "Hi, I'm George Santos," I would tell him to go get his mother to vouch for him. And then I'd hire someone to do an investigation to see if she really was his mother.
Will Kari Lake go to the inauguration and stir up trouble?
I think she will. She’s lost every other path to the governor’s mansion - the election, the court cases and so on and so forth - so the odds of her showing up with some Oath Keepers demanding to be sworn in is somewhat high.
My Christmas viewing recommendation: South Park's "Mister Hankey, The Christmas Poo"
This charming Christmas special teaches religious tolerance and the True Meaning of Christmas.
It's also quite possibly the funniest thing you will see all season.
If your house has a gas furnace and it's REAL cold inside, here's what to do
This morning I got up and the temperature in the house was what my late father would have called "colder than a well digger's ass."
Hopefully well diggers' asses are a bit warmer than 60 degrees, because that's how cold it was in here. The thermostat is set at 68.
The HVAC maintenance industry claims that "cleaning dirty flame sensors" is the number-one cause for $150 service calls. This is something YOU - yes, you - can fix yourself.
This video shows the basic process for cleaning a traditional flame sensor. You will need a green scouring pad, steel wool, emery cloth or some other abrasive thing to get the soot off the rod. One guy on YouTube used a piece of aluminum foil. Just don't touch the rod with your fingers; you really don't want oil on this.
My furnace doesn't have one of these, for some reason. On mine, there are two boxes inside the furnace - one screwed into the firebox, the other to some kind of sensor down on the base - that are connected via a rubber hose. (My furnace is a Frigidaire, and until I got this house I didn't even know Frigidaire made furnaces. It's been a pretty decent furnace, though.) It's going to be the only thin rubber hose in the whole device, so you can't miss it. If that's what you have, first pull off the hose going into the sensor down on the base, blow out the hose by just blowing into it by mouth, and clean the connector it was hooked to. I used a damp Q-tip and got a bunch of crud out of it. Then pull off the hose on the firebox sensor and clean out that connector.
I cleaned mine an hour and a half ago and the temperature in the house has already risen six degrees. I'm happy and so is my bank account.
If you could only convict three people from 1/6, and one is TFG...
...who are your other two?
Trump, that answer is fairly obvious: I think everyone here agrees orange is the new orange.
My choices are Rudy Giuliani and Jim Jordan.
It seems that TFG spotted a growth on his mushroom
He went to his doctor. His doctor put on a pair of welding gloves, examined TFG's manhood, and said "we'll have to amputate that immediately."
"Huh?"
"That means I've got to cut your dick off. You'll die in a couple weeks if that isn't done."
TFG naturally didn't want to hear that so he went for a second opinion, and a third, and a 25th. Every doctor said the same thing: we have to amputate your penis.
When he got to the 47th doctor, the sawbones took a close look and said, "no, we won't have to amputate that and you won't die any time soon. Feel relaxed."
"But...forty-six doctors all said they needed to cut it off! Why are you saying something different?"
"Because in two or three days it'll fall off on its own."
