  1. For the Haz house, Autumn begins on September 21. Halloween decorations, pumpkin spice, and all that fun Holiday stuff doesn’t being until October 1. November is for Thanksgiving, and the Christmas items aren’t put out around the house until after Thanksgiving weekend. Then it’s Christmas movies, Nativity scenes, and carols until Christmas Eve.

    And *then* the actual 12 Days Of Christmas begin (anyone remember the song celebrating that tradition, and the corresponding day of Epiphany on Jan 6 signifying the arrival of the Wise Men at Bethlehem?).

    I stay out of the stores as much as possible between mid-August thru the end of September, because they already have Christmas stuff out. C’mon!!

    • Sounds like you are a normal, decent, well-rounded American. People that rush to put up Halloween decoration in August or Christmas before Thanksgiving are mentally ill and should be destroyed for the health of society.

      Oh and F the ATF!!

  2. Fall or shut down of the BATFE? Sure, when was the last time a government agency or bureau was closed down or dismantled? When was the last time a government program was actually killed off or reduced in size or scope?
    To be honest, the size and scope of the Federal government could be cut by half and the country would likely run better.

    • Fall, F-a-l-l

      A selection of definitions: “to decline in quality, activity, or quantity” , “to descend freely by the force of gravity” or “to suffer ruin, defeat, or failure” are applicable.

      Most would prefer #3 in terms of the BATFE. Personally, I prefer #2, as in

      “The fall of the ATF was similar to that of a worker named John, who was both stupid and unlucky enough to tempt gravity near the intake for an industrial meat grinder. The outcome was gruesome and produced enormous terrified screaming, but ultimately, was for the best because John was actually just like an ATF agent in that he was completely fucking useless to the point of being dangerous and also extremely annoying. Both were so despised by the citizenry that every year, on the anniversary of the fall a nationwide celebration is had to give thanks that both John and the ATF met a well deserved end.”.

    • “When was the last time a government program was actually killed off or reduced in size or scope?“

      Happens all the time… if you’re poor:

      “Thousands of West Virginia families may lose some of their SNAP benefits
      Mark Curtis
      7 months ago
      CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — More families than ever are worried about putting food on the table right now. It’s because of a major decrease in food stamp, or SNAP, benefits.

      SNAP stands for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. When COVID-19 hit, the federal government gave people extra SNAP benefits. West Virginia has 167,000 families that received those increases, and 80% of those people already live below the federal poverty rate.“

      Gee, the Republicans seem to have no problem at all cutting assistance… for women and children:

      “House Republicans aren’t done slashing food assistance and fighting over social issues
      By Tami Luhby, CNN
      Published 7:00 AM EDT, Mon July 31, 2023

      After clamping down on food stamps in the debt ceiling deal, House Republicans now want to take a whack at WIC, the food assistance program for low-income women, infants and young children.

      GOP lawmakers have proposed curtailing funding for WIC in the chamber’s version of the US Department of Agriculture’s annual spending bill. The legislation could force some families to wait for aid for the first time in years, as well as limit their ability to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.“

      • Oh gee, miner. You mean there are Americans suffering in poverty at the same time your man biden has opened the flood gates to illegals to overburden the system?

        Wonder how we could save money and put all those poverty stricken Americans to work?

        Shut the border. Geez, you’re a parody of yourself.

      • “put all those poverty stricken Americans to work“

        Right, put mothers, infants and children to work, good move fascist.

        “Republicans now want to take a whack at WIC, the food assistance program for low-income women, infants and young children“

        And why worry about pesky child labor laws…

        “In states like Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, and Arkansas, newly passed or pending laws allow companies to hire children without work permits and allow children to work longer hours under more dangerous conditions in places like construction sites, meat packing plants, and automobile factories.“

        • fascist right back at you, miner. You’re the one gloating over how our rights are limited. Your mindset leads to these things.

          You end poverty by creating jobs. Not by flooding our country with 3rd world illegals.

          Are you saying that a woman’s place is in the kitchen? It was your disregard for privacy via 4473’s and background checks that handed scotus the edge it needed to rule against abortion.

          You are a clown.

        • miner, you continually try to pawn yourself off as rational, so here’s a ration of rationale for you :
          No recipient shall add to the number of dependents receiving benefits while enrolled in the program.
          Recipients shall provide a list of the ten most likely sperm donors for investigation of and reimbursement to the system.
          Recipient shall be ineligible for assistance when dependents enter school.
          Tell us all how outlandish you feel that would be.

      • It seems the rain’ll never let up/
        I try to keep my head up and still keep from getting wet up/
        You know, it’s funny, when it rains it pours/
        They got money for wars but can’t feed the poor/
        Say there ain’t no hope for the youth/
        And the truth is it ain’t no hope for the future/

        And then they wonder why we crazy

        Tupac said that back in ’93. If you don’t agree with him, you’re a racist for failing to recognize his BIPOC lived experience.

        So, don’t be a fascist, learn something 90’s style. He was smarter than that Kendi pole smoker will ever be and you’re not allowed to disagree anyway, so fuck you:

  3. @OMInAL:
    Things are grim. We need to do what that Hollywood Aktress did “Take the next year off and fix the gun problems”.
    Gethold of Possum. He isa Mensa grade Bayou Scientist of the first order. If we could just get him some of the Chicom Lab Workers WITH some of their “Sourdough Bread Cultures”, FBI Drones, Walking Dead scripts, brain samples from Hillary C. and Jen Pissakky, and YouKranien cash, we could jus’ pay them Orientyle dudes to mix up their next batch to be Brain Eating Covid. Seems they are still sending their inventions over here anyways, now that Our Real President was dis-elected.
    Delivered straight to their doors, it would only attack pathological liars. EZ Peazy, ‘cause we’re spending the money anyhow.
    Even if we lost a few of our own, maybe my peanut butter and jelly lunch would stop disappearing from the fridge in the break room.
    I haven’t heard any ideas saner than this since around January Sixth or so. What could go wrong?

    • 05,

      May I have some of that peyote? That’s some inspirational speeching!!

      Yes. I do believe possum is one scary-smart marsupial…

    • Mensa isn’t all that hard to get into. All you need to do is be good at taking tests. I passed without even trying and just about anyone who isn’t an idiot could do it. The only reason I joined was my wife at the time was already a member and wanted someone to go to the boring meetings with her. After a couple of meetings I decided it would have just been easier for us to have to joined a more interesting club. Membership was a waste of money so I didn’t renew.

    • Unless true Patriots step up and removes the cancer that is the Liberal/Progressive democrat party. The nation is guaranteed to continue to Die a slow and agonizing Death. While there are still bastions of Freedom in Our nation. Those places where the cancer resides continues to spreading it’s death.

  4. Welcoming the Fall.
    Gee, I thought this was going to be an article about the Secret Service watching JRB glide up the stairs like a vampire.

  5. @LifeSavor:
    I tremble to agree with your assessment of our furry friend Mr. P.
    Finding out he might be “paying me a visit”
    I welded up a big steel cage in my kitchen. Baked up plates of brownies, cornbread, short ribs and cherry-rhubarb pie. Put them invitingly inside, wif a lock that snaps shut when you slam the cage door.
    I wuz watching Gutfeld two nights ago when I heard a rustling outside in the bushes…
    Dove headfirst into that cage and locked it good. He’s not gonna get me, and I’m not gonna starve!

  6. Today is the autumn equinox, when the hours of daylight equal the hours of night. From this day onwards, the darkness advances.

    Until the winter solstice, when the daylight begins to slowly, minute by minute, return until the cycle begins again.

    There’s a lesson in nature — it is up to us to reclaim the light.

    • Actually not, there is about 2 +- minutes difference. They are never exactly equal.
      There are only two times of the year when the Earth’s axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a “nearly” equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. These events are referred to as Equinoxes. The word equinox is derived from two Latin words – aequus (equal) and nox (night). Per the National Weather Service

      • “There are only two times of the year when the Earth’s axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a “nearly” equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes.”

        The actual Earth’s axis never actually changes. There’s no mystical ‘force’ tipping the Earth from summer to winter…

        • As more and more mexican, honduran, central and south american illegals continue streaming into the US, the resulting weight displacement will cause the earth to rotate on it’s axis and point the poles directly at the Sun. The weight imbalance will cause the earth to wobble wildly, and leave it’s present orbit, joining up with former planet Pluto. FJB is a genius for solving immigration and global warming at the same time !!

    • “There’s a lesson in nature — it is up to us to reclaim the light.“

      Actually, no.

      The cycle of equinox and solstice has been happening for billions of years, without the aid or assistance of mankind.

      All indications are, unless acted on by an outside force, it should continue to do so for billions more.

    • Equinox literally means that there’s equal light above and below the equator for one small fraction of a minute. Equal daylight and night is known as Equilux, and follows the equinox in northern latitudes – it will occur in the Twin Cities and northwards on Sept. 25th., and precedes it in southern latitudes. Ironically, there is no Equilux possible directly along the equator. Currently, the inclination of axis is at 23.4 degrees, and is slowly and imperceptibly decreasing, much like a spinning top correcting for wobble, due to the oblation of the shape of Earth. When there is zero polar axis, there will be no seasonal changes… but don’t worry, we’ll all be LONG extinct by then.

      • We need more space launches.
        .
        It’s my theory that if the PTB could get everyone on earth to drive vehickles and run counter clockwise for a couple 100 years humans could reverse time and slow global warming.
