First Delicata squash of late summer. Olive oil, rosemary, salt & pepper. Roast on 375 for around 45 minutes, turning every 15 minutes. Tastes kinda like sweet potato fries, but better

Does AI John Adams talk about his and Thomas Jefferson's shared dislike of Presbyterians and Calvinism, for being incompatible with freewill and Democracy?
This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway. Read all of it. He wrecks them: newrepublic.com/article/1999...

Had the opportunity to explain targeted advertising and Palantir to two Amish gentlemen today
Epstein, Maxwell victims have been dealt many blows- years of rapes ( when some were still children) living with trauma, & more recently, after Trump lawyer met twice with Maxwell, she was moved to a cushy low security prison. And today, he called the harrowing survivor accounts “ a hoax” .
If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control. That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state. And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.
Since December '24, cost of commercial rooftop units are up 20%, metal buildings are up 18%, electrical gear is up 20 to 30%. High labor strike risk in for union trades with contracts due on July 1st, 2026 due to high inflation and eroded wages
Slept in a Hank Williams shirt and woke up with tears in my beer
Un. Real. 🤯
if Ohtani was in the 90's he would've 100% had a Saturday Morning cartoon and a SNES videogame about him being a super hero with baseball powers and reminded you every chance to not do drugs
The regime wants violence We need to give the guardsmen pity and constantly remind them that they are our fellow Americans, and their boss is a jackass Also ask them if the 29 day deployments make them feel like chumps? Reminder - We may need many of these guardsmen on OUR side if shit gets bad
When will West Point remove the statue of Thaddeus Kosciusko for being too woke? He was woke AF for his time.
60 percent of the time, Chicago's crime rate is the highest every time /s
10,000 monkeys with smartphones hacked Trump's account. How do I know this? I deduced this, ape-priori
Is he going to be at the press conference, or is the message going to be delivered by proxy?
But just like their religion, they feel the need to force it on everyone
The old way to look at it was this. Did the batter strike at the ball or not? I'd say he did strike at the ball.

For all my Union tradesmen who voted for Trump, here's a reminder of what you voted for. Many of you live near Wilmington. Who's side do you really think he's on? Hint- It ain't yours johnbrassardjr.com/2024/04/19/t...
A forgotten bit of Illinois Labor suffering. 74 lost souls in Wilmington, 1883, some as young as 13 years old johnbrassardjr.com/2024/04/19/t...
On this Labor Day, let us remember the 74 lost souls in the Wilmington IL coal mining disaster of 1883 johnbrassardjr.com/2024/04/19/t...
Dropped of my kid at school yesterday in a Mercedes, but the back seat looked like this

They really didn't believe it was as bad as it was. They still don't believe it killed over 1MM Americans. Once Covid finally caught me in summer of 2022, I truly believe had it not been for the vaccine lessening the symptoms, I may not be here 2/2
My parents and siblings were all still getting together on holidays, b-days, etc as my clan stayed away. They thought we were overreacting, but I knew two things. 1. I didn't want to be blamed by rest of fam for transmitting Covid to parents and possibly killing them 2. I didn't want to catch it 1/2
Since December '24, cost of commercial rooftop units are up 20%, metal buildings are up 18%, electrical gear is up 20 to 30%. Also high risk for prolonged labor strikes for union trades with contracts due on July 1st 2026
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
Russia 'blatantly interfered' with GPS signals, forcing a plane carrying the EU Commission president to circle a Bulgarian airport for an hour before landing. Deprived of all GPS in Plovdiv yesterday, pilots eventually landed safely using paper maps for navigation. #StopRussis

Under pressure by President Trump, Rob Manfed will soon announce the latest initiative to increase offense and make baseball great again. All Dominican and Venezuelan pitchers will be deported by ICE.
Trump is such a dickdead
People Expect Disclosure Only Mr. President
"If you're just joining us, I am bringing you the shocking news that the President of the United States has been found dead in the bathtub—as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run, and so that'll make it a 4–0 ballgame."
Whoever is calling the Phillies game, but it has to happen while Castellanos is at the plate.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
I learned this 35 years ago when I was an intern at the Morton Arboretum. If you're local, you should be able to find them. Chicago also has a bunch of locust trees that still have the big thorns. The thorns have been bred out of the current cultivars.
As a kid, we used to take the apples on the ground, poke them with a stick, and push a lady finger into the hole. Then we proceeded to throw apple grenades at each other
Hot take - Pluots are better than plums, and apriums are better than apricots

A little Chicago tree trivia - Lincoln Park has Swamp White Oaks with acorns that look like Burr Oak acorns. One of the few, rare, places where this occurs.

Prayer also creates the illusion of actually doing something. But it only does something for you, not others.
If I tell you, "You can't add too much salt to the soup," what exactly does that mean? An unlimited amount, or be careful with how much you are adding?

One of the great American divides - Those who believe the idea of America is exceptional, we often fall short of that idea, & it is good to strive to make America exceptional VS Those who believe America is exceptional, and since they are the "real" Americans, those not like themselves are the enemy
The 2A is for all Americans. I've always said it isn't the macho super-patriot types that need the 2A, it's really there to protect the rest of us from them.
Understanding what Trump has done, and continues to do, it actually pretty simple. He seeks to defile all that we hold sacred.

Ashli Babbitt being given military honors shits all over real patriots who died defending their country, not overthrowing it. Fuck that white trash pile of shit.

You even sacrificed your own son to atone for your Old Testament sins.
I'd say keep on rockin' in the free world, but the free world has a different meaning today than it did 35 years ago
The value proposition for our lax gun laws was that the benefit of reduced crime by deterrent, and reduced risk of tyranny by politicians, was greater than the cost of human life by accidents and bad actors. The NRA has yet to stand up to tyranny as the Dicktator tramples the Constitution
"Everything I disagree with is unconstitutional"
"There is no hate like Christian love." Red letter Jesus rejects this
Come on people snap the f**k out of it!!!! The dumbest sociopath in the world is launching attacks on his own country, and everyone in the media is just acting like this is normal. It's NOT F**KING NORMAL.
It’s always so easy to laugh at this, but it’s not funny. For 3hrs today, grown men & women all took turns getting down on their knees, fellating their dear leader. In front of the cameras. It’s sad. It’s gross. It’s North Korea. It shouldn’t happen here.
A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a state funeral
I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.
Also Trump: "You have 14 year old girls that are just as hot as a 25 year old, just as sexy, and they carry themselves the same. We have to make a provision where they are treated like older people ... you have 14 year old kids that are honeypots. They're hot. And they have to be my girlfriend"

He finds a way to defile everything that is sacred. So yes, he will
Good for them. Let them find happiness in one another
It's almost like they want a version of socialism, but where only white people receive benefits of the system. Let's call it white national socialism... or National Socialism.
Real originalists don't believe in Constitutional amendments, especially the first 10 /s
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
Funny how you don't hear Republicans talking much about the Constitution anymore. It was always lip service. Once R's realized that some folks were serious about extending equal rights to all Americans, and they were getting way closer to achieving that goal, Republicans turned on the Constitution.

Personally, I'd never burn the flag. But if I'm not free enough to burn it, I ain't flying it.
Trump singed an EO prohibiting flag burning, with punishment being one year in prison. SCOTUS has ruled that flag burning is protected under the First Amendment (1989). Congress passed Flag Protection Act of 1989 to ban flag desecration. In 1990, SCOTUS struck that law down as unconstitutional.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

the desire to mass censor by parents is honestly often less about the safety of children and more avoiding the struggle of parenting and the loss of control as a child gains knowledge
