Of course it’s going to read perfect.

I’ve also seen 5 foot long pipe wrenches broken in half by using a bulldozer blade to push on them.

Some things just don’t want to turn.

That’s when you get the Blue Wrench out.

As the saying goes, it can’t be seized if it’s a liquid.

I like listening to this Old Time music.

I don’t know what it is but it pulls on something deep inside me.

I’ve posted her stuff before and just love her. She posted a video about herself so you can get a better grasp of where she is coming from.

Passive/Aggresive Compliance in action.

Dammit. It looks like something got updated or changed on my computer and I don’t have time to fuck with it right now. If the video doesn’t play when you click on it, click the dialog box below it and it will open in another tab.

Like I don’t have enough shit to deal with.

Good freaking grief.

We have been told our entire lives that the CIA only has the best of the best.

Here they can’t even properly vet this guy to begin with and then he proceeds to steal them blind.

He lied like a dog about his credentials and they didn’t bother checking them out

Former Senior CIA Officer With Top-Secret Clearance ARRESTED After FBI Raid Home And Seize 300 Gold Bars Worth $40 Million — Plus $2 Million Cash And 35 Luxury Watches

A former senior CIA officer with top-secret security clearance has been arrested after federal agents raided his Virginia home and seized roughly 300 gold bars worth more than $40 million, along with approximately $2 million in cash and 35 luxury watches, mostly Rolexes.

The officer, identified as David Rush, who held a management position at the agency, now faces charges of criminal theft of public money.

According to NBC News, Rush allegedly used his position to request large amounts of gold and foreign currency, claiming they were for “work-related expenses,” only to allegedly divert and stash them at his Fairfax County residence.

On May 18, federal agents searched the home and walked out with the massive gold hoard. Investigators had earlier found only a portion of the funds in a storage space near his office.

Rush had requested the assets between November and March, according to an FBI affidavit.

The CIA’s own internal audit couldn’t account for the gold or significant foreign currency, prompting CIA Director John Ratcliffe to refer the matter to the FBI for criminal investigation.

Snip

Rush is also accused of a long-running fraud scheme in which he allegedly falsified time sheets, inflated his hours, and lied about his background for nearly two decades to secure and maintain his high-level position and extra pay.

He claimed degrees from Clemson University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, attendance at the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School, service as a thesis adviser, and Navy pilot experience, none of which were true, according to NBC News.

He even allegedly faked Navy Reserve service to collect improper military leave pay.

He applied to the government three times and only succeeded on the third attempt in 2009 after padding his résumé further. Despite these fabrications, he rose to a senior management role with top-secret clearance.

They get to do this for eternity.

Ted Nugent actually has a lucid, intelligent and logical thought?

And he is absolutely right for once!

I’ve never even HEARD of such a thing!

A PURE QUARTZ cutting torch tip!

It isn’t JUST general Motors by any stretch of the imagination but they are far and away the worst and this isn’t something that started yesterday.

Here is a message saying they have issued a PARK AND DO NOT DRIVE ORDER for their 2026 SUV’s. Chevy, GMC and Cadillac’s are involved.

There is more bad news after the video.

Then there are these numbers for multiple issues.

GM has issued multiple recall numbers related to engine and powertrain failures, with the most significant involving the 6.2L V8 engine. The primary recall for the 6.2L L87 V8 engine is N252494000 (NHTSA 25V-274), which affects 597,571 vehicles in the U.S. This recall addresses manufacturing defects in connecting rods and crankshafts that can lead to sudden engine failure and loss of propulsion. 

Other relevant recall numbers include:

• N242454440 (NHTSA 24V-099): A recall for nearly 462,000 diesel-engine SUVs and pickup trucks (2020–2022 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Escalade) due to a faulty transmission control valve that could cause rear wheels to lock up. 
• N252533510: A 2024–2026 GMC Canyon recall affecting 1,120 units due to incorrect software that may cause improper airbag deployment. 

For the 6.2L V8 recall (N252494000), dealers will inspect the engine and either replace it or apply a temporary remedy involving higher-viscosity 0W-40 oil and a new oil fill cap if the engine passes inspection. 

Cam and lifters failing prematurely, crankshaft bearings eating cranks, the numbers are staggering.

I have had multiple conversations with people over the past couple of months and I tell them flat out to avoid buying ANYTHING, newer than 2017.

If these recalls and Class Action lawsuits don’t bankrupt GM I will be amazed.

Of course they will go crying to Daddy Government for a Bailout if it does.

Maybe somebody should pull their heads out of their asses and go back to building machines that last, like they used to.

They did that for over 80 ears, maybe there is still someone around who remembers how to do that but I’m not going to hold my breath.

Because why in the fuck would anyone spend $100,000 just for a carbon fiber body copying a damn 1969 Ford pickup?
