You think this is something?

I had a Ford Aerostar Mini Van come in one time with a charging system problem complaint.

No joke, I could smell something so fucking rank I was gagging before I even got the hood opened up on the damn thing when they pulled it in.

Because it was a a van and inside a shop I had to get a drop light underneath the hood to see any damn thing.

What I found made me gag even harder.

About 3 lbs of dry dog food that some fucking varmint like a squirrel had been piling up on top of the engine and then as it got driven it baked that shit, then it putrified and then it got baked again and again.

Half the guys in the shop were gagging as I used a shop vac to try and get it all off the top of the engine just so I could see what the hell was under it all.

Lemme tell ya, that was a very expensive alternator job before I got done.

Don’t even try to deny this isn’t the absolute truth.

Raise your hand if this actually surprises you.

A militant wearing the insignia of Mexico’s notorious Gulf Cartel (Cartel Del Golfo, CDG) was filmed in the state of Tamaulipas carrying a US-made anti-tank missile launcher. Milenio TV identified the weapon as a Javelin, thousands of which were sent to Ukraine by the Pentagon.

Footage filmed in Matamoros on Monday and aired on Tuesday evening by the news channel Milenio TV showed a man with CDG patches armed with a Kalashnikov rifle and a missile they said was the Raytheon-made FGM-148.

Over 10,000 Javelins from Pentagon stockpiles have been sent to Ukraine since last February, to the point where the US military has begun to run out of the missiles itself.

Milenio presenter Azucena Uresti noted on Twitter that the estimated value of a Javelin launcher on the black market was anywhere from $20,000 to $60,000, while the average cost of a missile was about $30,000.

Keen-eyed military experts believe the weapon in the Milenio footage may actually be the AT-4, a Swedish-made disposable anti-tank launcher, which is also in use by the US military and likewise supplied to Ukraine by the thousands. 

Russia has repeatedly warned the US and its allies not to “stuff” Ukraine with weapons and ammunition, both because this risked a direct confrontation and since nonexistent controls would result in the weapons ending up in the criminal underworld. 

A RT investigation in July 2022 found a variety of Western-supplied weapons, including anti-tank rockets, for sale on the “dark web.” Several months later, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that $1 billion a month worth of Western weapons was ending up in the hands of “terrorists, extremists and criminal groups in the Middle East, Central Africa, and Southeast Asia.”

Kiev has denounced this as “propaganda” and insisted all were accounted for.

Sure, I totally believe that outright bald faced lie from some Ukrainian media flunky.

Let us not forget that Biden left $85 BILLON dollars worth of American military equipment in Afghanistan for the Taliban to sell off or use as they saw fit also.

I would venture to guess that there is Black Market U.S. Military war fighting equipment all over the entire globe at this point.

The immediate implications of the Mexican drug cartels having a bunch of it ought to cause some ass puckering by the local police and border patrol agents along the wide open Southern border of this country.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see some of this stuff turn up further inland either.

The Cartels have running operations from Mexico to Canada already as it is, you just don’t hear about them from the MSM.

This.

Three weeks with some kind of chest cold, me and the wife hacking and coughing.

Juust started to maybe get over that shit and loaded a bunch of crap in the back of the truck Sunday to take to the dump, woke up Monday feeling like death warmed over again and went right back to bed.

I basically slept 32 of 36 hours between Sunday and Monday and couldn’t tell you what was wrong other than I felt like crap and couldn’t stay awake.

Got up and went to work this morning, stopped at the dump after work to unload one truck, still have another one full and ready to go, think I’m gonna put my feet up and go to sleep again.

I have zero fucking energy and about the same for stamina.

One of these days maybe I’ll start feeling human again but I’m thinking it won’t be before they fix the circulation in my legs.

Oh yeah, haven’t had a cigarette since the day before Mother’s Day so I went through withdrawals while sick with the chest cold just for fun.

One fucking day at a time at this point.

My thanks to everyone inquiring about how I’ve been feeling, now ya know and thanks to CederQ for keeping the joint open.

I got the shirt in the mail yesterday and tried to Email you to say thanks but it bounced.

So I called CederQ to double check it and he said he had just hung up talking to ya.
