    My neighborhood is usually good at keeping the riffraff out. They especially have to be diligent with the freeway underpass. Every once in a while someone with a tent will try to squat but they are usually vacated by the next day.

    But this loser showed up Wednesday and he is still there. How in the hell does he move all of those shopping carts?

    This is a safety hazard that should be removed immediately. It's a public roadway, not a campsite.

    The moral of all this is that a corrupt, incompetent government is never to be trusted in regard to the public's safety and well being.  "We're from the government and we're here to help" should send shivers down any thinking person's spine.

    Amen. Government should never grow so large that it cannot be drowned in a bathtub.

    Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to put out the fire? 

    Oh, plenty of water, not enough firemen, hoses and equipment. Now it's revealed the Fire Chief wasn't even on the island at the time, nor the head County Emergency Manager. County and state authorities still refuse to say if an evacuation order was ever given, which means NO, one wasn't. Anyone who has ever visited Hawaii knows they issue surf advisories like the fate of humanity relies upon them, but a whole fucking city burning to the ground not so much.

  4. The most famous concert held at this venue is Elvis - Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite performed live on January 14, 1973 and telecast April 4, 1973. It is estimated that between 1 to 1.5 BILLION people across 40 nations around the world watched this telecast. There is an Elvis statue  outside the arena that commemorates the event. The arena itself is to undergo extensive renovations to modernize it.

     

  5. Once again, Hawaiian Emergency Management is proven to be Third World. Despite boasting a 400 siren system across the islands, authorities failed to disseminate a siren alert across the ONE county affected by an unprecedented, catastrophic fire. For many residents, their first indication of imminent danger was being trapped inside a burning, smoke filled home. Let that sink in. Of course the corrupt media merely focuses on the fate of the banyan tree in Lahaina town square, and the corrupt White House attributes it all to climate change.

    With great enthusiasm, Grant joins us today to share captivating tales from his fanzine publishing journey and shares the unforgettable moments from those iconic conventions.

    Grant was among the hardest working men in Led Zep fandom. I attended ZepFest '98 in Cleveland and something like a half-dozen Page/Plant concerts within two weeks of it, to include the Toronto concert. I remember missing one my flights because I could not make it to the gate in time -- I was overloaded with hand-carried Led Zeppelin treasures. 😄 What golden days those were.

    The latest podcast of "Zepfan - All Things Led Zeppelin" is now available. 

    Ep 013: Dave Taylor is responsible for publishing ZOSO magazine in the late 80s to early 90s. This monthly fanzine ran for five years and was the heart of keeping Zepfans together when Led Zeppelin was considered an afterthought. Dave talks about being a Zepfan in the 70s, meeting Richard Cole and Neal Preston, Seeing the band at the LA Forum, and what Led Zeppelin means to him.

    Seriously? THE Dave Taylor? How in the world did you find him?! I own all but two issues of Zoso. I was living in California at the time it was published. Great memories of bicycling across town to Tower Records for each issue. His writing was always thoughtful and interesting.

  8. New York's Union Square Riots

     

    "Over one and a half centuries since emancipation, trillions of dollars of free stuff, and over half a century of unconstitutional Affirmative Action = the most expensive experiment in history is a complete and utter failure. No matter how long and how hard we pound, the square peg is not going to fit into the round hole. 

    Affirmative Action was sold as a ten-year diversion from our constitution; it’s now been sixty years.

    We do not have a race problem. We have a problem with a race.

    We also have a problem with the deceitful political party enabling, promoting, and even importing more Third World chaos and anarchy."

    We don't know what you look like and wouldn't believe you if you posted a pic.  That comes with the territory when you change your username up teen times so you can feel comfortable posting the same old crap.

    I think he's a middle-aged white guy. As for me, I'm black as coal and I think that's well established. That said, let me say that an argument can be made that slavery was the greatest thing to ever happen to Africans. Yessir -- free cruises to guarenteed jobs in safe neighborhoods! Ultimately, this led to a full free ride -- cradle to grave social welfare. For the relatively few of us who have chosen to to be employed since 1865 we enjoy preferential hiring and advancement. I'd be hard pressed to take my black ass anywhere else on the face of this planet to have it so good. I think that honkey Alfred E. Neumann said it best when he said, "What, me worry"?

    who gives a shit about whether or not he goes to jail???   What we all want to see is the evidence that he and his father were lining their pockets with money from foreign actors for Joe's influence.

    Of course they're guilty. Biden insisting that the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden be fired or he would withold foreign aid establishes that beyond a reasonable doubt in my mind. Note also Biden's narrative has changed from having "no knowledge" whatsoever of Hunter's foreign business dealings to having "no involvement" in them. They both sold this country out to the highest bidders. Here's a couple more corrupt geriatrics insisting upon ruining this country until their dying breaths (the sooner the better).

    what about Billy Beer, his brother?

    Getting into heaven? He did some questionable things in life but I'm not aware of anything so wicked or unrepetent that he would be kept out.

    Looks like Hunter's sweetheart plea deal fell apart.  Still doubt anything's going to happen to him even though he's a "private citizen" (who needs a fleet of Secret Service vehicles to take him to and from court).

    He'll never serve a day in prison because Daddy will just issue a Presidential pardon if it ever came to that. Perhaps he'll die of an overdose soon.

    Joe contemplating a draft? 

    No, for a number of reasons. First and formost, it's political suicide. Secondly, the armed forces themselves do NOT want nor need a bunch of draftees. Third, it would take an Act of Congress (see point one). It is disgusting that by Executive Order he has placed reservists in standby to be called up in defense of Ukraine.
