    Odds and Ends

    How about a little news roundup for your Tuesday afternoon.

    Let’s start in Massachusetts where the typical Masshole town council has a problem with political speech.

    The post continues:

    . . . including taxpayer expenses for equipment and labor. Officials emphasized their commitment to respecting individual political expression but clarified that such expressions should not imply they represent the town’s views. The resident was warned that continued projections could lead to further legal action.

    I don’t see what, if any, crime or ordinance violation this would be, but the town is threatening a $100 a day fine.

    In the You don’t hate them enough category, CBS has once again deceptively edited an interview. This time it was House Speaker Mike Johnson who got the edits, and not in the good way like 60 Minutes and the Cackling Harris.

    Johnson brought the receipts and it’s well worth your time to click thru and read/watch the whole thread.

    The MLB League championship series have started. It’s the Dodgers vs the Mets in the NL and the Yankees vs the Indians err Guardians in the AL. The Yankees and Dodgers have home field for their respective series. As of today, the LA-NYM series is tied 1-1 with play resuming Wednesday at Citi Field in Queens. The Yanks are up 1-0 on the Guardians going into tonight’s game 2 in the Bronx.

    SpaceX did something really cool the other day. They caught, for the first time, a booster from the Falcon Super Heavy rocket on a specifically designed pad.

    I’m old enough to remember the first Space Shuttle flight back in 1981. This makes me excited about space flight again.

    As a closer, I give you a chronological list of Kamala Harris’ ‘accomplishments’.

    Kind Electrician Sparks Community Effort to Rebuild a 72-Year-Old Woman’s RunDown Home

    It all started with a broken light and evolved into a complete renovation of a struggling 72-year-old’s home.

    When Gloria Scott called electrician John Kinney to fix a broken ceiling light at her Woburn, Massachusetts, home in August, he responded quickly but was shocked to discover that the sparking light fixture was just the tip of the iceberg, as Gloria’s entire home was in a state of disrepair.

    There were no lights and no running water, John explained to CBS Evening News.

    “I think I seen [sic] her on a Friday,” he recalled, “and it stuck with me over the weekend, and I said, ‘I got to go back there.’”

    Gloria was living all alone and money was tight. The elderly woman had no internet or cell phone, along with no family to help her out.

    John then returned, armed with a ladder and tools, and set to work for free. However, the scale of the task at hand necessitated backup. The electrician started a Facebook page, titled “Nice old lady needs help,” and quickly amassed a team of tradespeople wishing to help improve Gloria’s home situation and make it more livable and safe for her.

    “She had no stove,” John wrote on the page’s description, alluding to the circumstances Gloria’s house was in, “and her refrigerator was plugged into an extension cord. … her ceilings were falling apart, her kitchen sink was broken, and the place was filthy.”

    “She told me that critters often got in the house,” John continued. “The outside was no better.”

    The electrician already had a network of skilled professionals willing to donate their time. He simply needed to raise money for materials.

    Thanks to almost 2,500 generous donors, John’s fundraiser amassed over $100,000 toward renovating Gloria’s home. In addition, the Woburn community came out in full force to lend a hand to help one of their own. They assisted in whatever way they could, some with garden tools, while the others with meals and refreshments.

    By the second week of September, John’s team, “Gloria’s Gladiators,” had rewired the elderly woman’s residence, installed new plumbing, windows, walls, and ceilings to keep out intruding raccoons, and even built a brand-new porch.

    “She’s been here by herself for over 10 years, so I’m sure it’s a big change for her, but she’s warmed up to everybody,” John told CNN. “She’s so happy, she’s got all types of new friends. … It’s just a miracle to witness.”

    Photos from the epic home renovation show Gloria sitting happily on a rocking chair outside her house, watching the makeover unfold. She even habitually made lunch for the helpful crew, said John, who has grown close to the 72-year-old. “She reminds me of my grandmother,” he said.

    As for Gloria, she is overwhelmed. “I can’t even comprehend the gratitude that I have,” she told CBS, through tears.

    John is just as moved as Gloria on witnessing the generosity of so many members of their shared community, so much so that John wants to make “Gloria’s Gladiators” a nationwide venture.

    “[T]here’s no words for it, you know,” he reflected. “I don’t want it to [end]. And that’s why we put a name to it—the Gloria’s Gladiators—we want to keep going with this.”

    The team now identifies itself on Facebook as “a group of professional tradesmen and volunteers that can be called upon to help out any elderly person in need,” and has upward of 14,000 members. The Gladiators changed Gloria’s life for the better, and they have no intention of reining in the kindness any time soon.

    Can’t Make This Sh*t Up

    The Chowderheads screwed up a Biden yard sign. It had 12 words. Short words for the most part. The only long one, 13 letters, they got wrong.

    Understandable, mistakes do happen, if it wasn’t the Name Of The STATE.

    Massachsuetts, that’s what the sign said. What’s worse, is it’s spelled correctly elsewhere. And I’m guessing the sign company did that.
