Darth Vader, who shared a voice with James Earl Jones, has died at the age of 93.
Good morning from my Hunker Bunker overlooking the Puget Sound in Seattle. I just got home from my Office perched betwixt the two Stadiums after spending the entire night supervising two HVAC techs as they replace three compressors and a blower motor that got ‘single-phased’ a couple of months ago. It was a brand new machine, and for some reason they didn’t think to install a phase monitor to protect the machine should a leg drop out on the power. $250 could have saved $40k…
This will take them three nights to complete, meaning that I will have to come in at 2200 for the next three nights.
These two guys are hilariously good:
More Weirdness from JD Vance
So now Trump is a felon in possession of a firearm?
Springfield Police Division said it was aware of the “rumors” but has no information to support them.
“In response to recent rumors alleging criminal activity by the immigrant population in our city, we wish to clarify that there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.”
“Rumors” is a nice way of referring to a LIE.
Speaking of spouting lies…
Trump claims children being forced into gender transition operations at school
“Kamala supports states being able to take minor children and perform sex change operations, take them away from their parents, perform sex change operations, and send them back home,” Trump said in Mosinee, Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon.
“Can you imagine you’re a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, ‘Jimmy, I love you so much. Go have a good day in school’ and your son comes back with a brutal operation,” he added. “Can you even imagine this? What the hell is wrong with our country?”

“The transgender thing is incredible. Think of it. Your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child”
Does this guy have a filter? Does he even hear himself speak? And it somehow makes sense to him?
Does he even know what gender-affirming surgery entails? HINT: It’s a little more involved than getting a circumcision. I asked my AI Assistant how long it takes to go through gender-affirming surgery, and this is what it said:
It is hardly something that your kid is going to get by going to school.
I’ve mentioned it here before, that I have a transitioning child living upstairs, which has been kind of a confusing thing to observe. We are talking about a 15-year-old biological girl transitioning to a boy — who happens to be … wait for it … gay.
Yeah, I’ll give you a minute to think about that…
The top surgery has been done — last year. He’s taking hormones to give him a deeper voice, and a mustache. His bone density is growing out and he’s developing muscles as a normal 15-year-old boy. If you were to talk to him, you’d probably never guess.
Is his school supportive? Apparently. But they certainly aren’t performing surgeries in the classroom while teaching algebra.
A person would have to be pretty damn weird to think that schools are performing surgeries.
If we are going to start deporting people…
Elon Musk’s misleading election claims reach millions and alarm election officials
The chairman of the board of elections in Montgomery County, Pa., was well acquainted with the regular attendees at his monthly meetings who peddled old, debunked voting conspiracy theories.
But something changed after April 4, the chairman, Neil Makhija, explained in an interview. That was the day Elon Musk retweeted a false claim that as many as 2 million noncitizens had been registered to vote in Texas, Arizona and Pennsylvania.
Suddenly, the same people were coming to the meetings with a new, unsubstantiated theory of voter fraud that appeared to align with Musk’s latest post: They were convinced that droves of noncitizens were voting illegally in their suburban Philadelphia county of nearly a million people.
[…]
For Makhija, a Democrat who is also a member of the county board of commissioners, it was a lesson in the influence of Musk, the South Africa-born billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. In the two years since he bought Twitter, now X, Musk has transformed it into a primary source of false election rumors, both by spreading them on his own account, which has 197 million followers, and lowering some of the site’s guardrails around misinformation.
“You have one of the richest men in the world putting out this idea that the elections are fraudulent and the results are questionable,” Makhija said. “X has obviously become a platform for misinformation and disinformation. Because we know it’s not true.”
Like I said, if we are going to start deporting immigrants, I’d like to start with Elon Musk. Send that idiot stick back to South Africa.
Putin is Shocked!
Ukraine hits Moscow in huge drone attack, sparking apartment building blaze
Moscow regional governor Andrey Vorobyov said in a Telegram post that a 46-year-old woman had been killed and several people wounded when a UAV damaged at least two high-rise apartment building in the Ramenskoye district of Moscow region, some 30 miles southeast of the Kremlin.
Videos of the attack show flames bursting out of windows of a multi-storey residential building, with dozens of flats severely damaged.

The attack marks one of the largest drone assaults against Russia since the beginning of the war.

George W Bush reveals his decision on 2024 endorsement after Cheney snubbed Trump
He’s stopped thinking about presidential politics, much like Jimmy Carter. If he has a preference for president, he’s going to exercise his right as a citizen to not share it with anyone. I can respect that.
