Back In Russia
The statement from Rep Loychik in this week's banner is funny/sad but deceptive.  As a matter of honest reporting the $80B for the IRS is over several years while the $66B for the Russian military is each year. 

Fearsome Fallout Back On Stage
Since my stream of consciousness is on Russia....  Putin has been making threats to use nuclear weapons in the ongoing Euro conflict.  Of course NATO and members of the Biden Administration are equally guilty of escalating threats.

This week, the Administration announced that it will be buying $290M of the anti-radiation drug Nplate from Amgen.  According to the government this has nothing to do with threats of nuclear war.

• An HSS spokesman says  'This is part of our ongoing work for preparedness and radiological security. It has not been accelerated by the situation in Ukraine.'

I leave you with a thought on Progressive Democrat leadership.  Click the pic for more.

Ridin With Biden
You just have to hand it to Joe.  While he's promoting EVs, destroying the US Energy sector and draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve he does a Build Back Better tweet in a  gas-guzzling 1967 Corvette.   Don't get me wrong... that car is a classic.  BUT it shows what an elitist a$$hole he is.

Chicago
I am pleased to announce that Mayor Lori Lightfoot has, again, made it to Clown World.  Congratulations Lori!     Shall we dance??

Please, PLEASE, click the pic.

Clownifornia
Every once in a while the folks in California really knock one out of the park. A woman is driving her Audi down the 405 with only three wheels.  The concerned motorist tries to get her attention but she seems oblivious to the problem.   

After rear-ending another vehicle, she claims she has just been diagnosed with cancer.  If that's true my heart goes out for her... but it doesn't explain why she's driving 80 miles/hour with her hatch open and sparks flying.  Click the pics.

Halloween Is Around The Corner
A couple of pics to end the week on a happy note.
