Origin of XXX on poison bottles. Goes back to the Apalachin moonshiners who placed the triple X on their bottles of "mountain dew" to denote the product was strained 3 times. That morphed into the poison identification.

Add the fact when salvage crews cut thru the hulls the torches used burned up much of the remaining oxygen.

USS West Virginia was sunk at Pearl Harbor. Months later, salvage crews raised her & found in an airtight compartment with the bodies of 3 sailors along with a calendar with 16 days marked off on it. Terrible way to die.

A form of death remarkably common but one we know happens but we will never discover the bodies. When the RAF sank the Tirpitz (it rolled over) tapping for heard from inside the hull for a few weeks after.


Tirpitz had an unremarkable battle record, mostly a "show boat" for Hitler. RN too powerful for her to venture out.

In yet another example of cultural appropriation the Little Mermaid is now black. Now here’s the thing, it got over 1,500,000 dislikes on YouTube and just you guess what those people have been accused of? Go on, guess.

Yes, I have seen the "Dark Horse" version & it has the retro look I like. Mine is a 2014 GT convertible in race red.

My friend's son has been deployed to Kenya for the next 9 months. Another Mau Mau insurrection? Another example of what happened to the mud people after the Brits left. They can't seem to govern themselves.

I have my friend's address which is a bunch of U.S. Army mumbo-jumbo & am about to send him a card. I will find out if he is at Nanyuki as it possibly is a shared base.

Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett, a UFC fighter from Liverpool, recently beat up 10 U.S. Marines in a row. I normally don't watch this kinda stuff, but he won by submission holds, one after the other.

Was reading about Lord Mountbatten's wife, Lady Edwina, who had a long term affair with a Negro singer. Seems as if Harry isn't the only royal who has an affinity for darkies.

I flew over the Tirpitz in Norway in a chopper. The hull was still clearly visible.

I'm back Mark but my daughter, granddaughter and myself picked up the latest variant of covid just before my operation. We had to cancel our family doctors appt and my wife had to cancel her cat scan and I had to cancel my surgery. My daughter had to also cancel her surgery. Mine has been pushed back until Oct 11th. I have had four shots but they doesn't work the best on the latest variant. They have a 5th shot out now which covers the latest variant.

My wife I think got it for her 4th shot at our home. They came and gave it to her. She is the only one that never tested positive, so it must work. I now have to wait 3 months before getting the 5th shot.

Every part of my body hurt like a bad flu does. I felt drained and tired all the time. I got it on the 9th of Sept and still don't fell the best yet.

I have already told you that it's a Federal responsibility not the States to move Legals around. DeSantis broke the law by doing it and will be sued for sure. The Legals weren't even from his own State but from Texas.

Well Pete, you finally got things right.................well almost right. It is the federal government's to secure the border which it failed to do. Immigration is clearly within their realm which they failed to enforce, when the federal government fails so miserably to fulfill its duty, the states are obligated to do so, which they did.

How is that possible. All those draconian measures taken for prevention by the lord & savior Trudeau. The mandates, closing the border, neighbors spying on each other & reporting violations to authorities, the eagerness in which you lemming subjects comply without question, & you come down with the sinister Chink virus????? 


Fare thee well & Godspeed in your recovery. I shall light several candles for you & yours.

I've had three jabs but I won't be having anymore. Flu at any age is bad Pete but being as really very old as you are it's dangerous. All the best to you and the clan mate.

I took my mother for her fourth last week and asked if I was eligible while I was there, but they said no, only over 65s at the moment; same for the flu jab, they're starting that on 1 October.

Genial Joe from Scranton, the common guy who is representing the common folk. The great unifier who is concerned with the problems of John & Mary Lunchbucket. BUT WAIT, this fraudulent imposter has unleashed a divisive & damaging broadside that conflated MAGA Republicans with any conservative who opposes abortion rights & queers getting married. He has chosen to treat tens of millions of Americans as the enemy within.

Every politician claims to be a unifier, Trump did, Putin does too, but goes about it in a different way.
