Morning Peeps,
How the Hell are ya?
Whoa, a little tired this AM, I was traveling with Daniel last night on the plane, and I can still see those red tail lights...
And that damn light is blinding me, and I'm getting revved up like a deuce...
I'm becoming another runner in the night!
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it," Graham tweeted in 2016 when Trump was campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination.
When DJ and I were on the River Hall course Saturday, we were paired with a couple from Syracuse NY. As often happens during Golf, you find out about each other.
In the course of the conversation, they found out about our military connection as we served together often.
Dennis told them he served for 39 years, I replied 37 years. Real damn pleased to be able to say that.

6. Immigrants are an integral part of our labor market, filling gaps caused by demographic changes in the United States and contributing to strong economic growth.
As these six facts show, the idea that immigrants are making things worse for U.S.-born workers is wrong. The reality is that the labor market is absorbing immigrants at a rapid pace, while simultaneously maintaining record-low unemployment for U.S.-born workers.

4. The prime-age LFPR of U.S.-born men without a bachelor’s degree grew at a record pace in each of the last two years and is above its pre-COVID trend.
5. Though the immigrant share of the labor force reached a record high in 2023, immigrant labor force growth is not occurring at an unprecedented rate.

6, I repeat 6 Key Facts about how Immigrants are not hurting American-born Workers
1. The unemployment rate for U.S.-born workers averaged 3.6% in 2023, the lowest rate on record.
2. The share of prime-age U.S.-born individuals with a job is at its highest rate in more than two decades.
3. The prime-age labor force participation rate (LFPR) for U.S.-born individuals is also at its highest rate in more than two decades.

Ya know...I would do this whole 20 Albums Influencing thingy, but damn, they didn't even make albums when I was still influenceable?
And far from wanting to reverse efforts to increase diversity and inclusiveness, a recent poll found that 70% of Americans (including half of Republicans) say our country "needs to do more to increase social justice."

Jimmy Hightower on Social Justice...BE FOR IT!!
This is Jim Hightower saying, But wait -- the great majority of Americans are rebelling and saying: "We are woke!" Even Republicans flatly rejected DeSantis' presidential campaign that promised to "Floridize" America with anti-WOKE nonsense.

Susan Estrich on the specter...
Loyalty above the law is a frightening object of admiration, but not a surprising one for a man who believes he is above the law, and $83.3 million was clearly not enough to convince him otherwise.

Live in Utah now...hehehe
ON this date in 1901 - Utah Governor Heber M. Wells vetoed a bill that would have relaxed restrictions on polygamy.
Mormon elders Bun Man and Mr. Purple, both of whom had 5 wives at the time due to time travel and keeping w/ their faith, breathed a sigh of relief.
They could handle 5, but if they had been forced to get up to, let's say 10, their regimen would have changed dramatically.
Bless you, Heber Wells, bless you.
On this date in 1943 - U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first U.S. President to fly in an airplane while in office.
His chief advisors, Bun Man and Mr. Purple, became the first chief advisors to join the Mile High Club...
HEY, you think those stewardesses on presidential flights aren't hot?
I DON'T THINK SO...
ON this date in 1914 - Henry Ford announced the new continuous motion method to assemble cars.
The process decreased the time to make a car from 12½ hours to 93 minutes.
While scientists Bun Man and Mr. Purple initially lauded the revolutionary methodology, Bun said later..."This is the beginning of the end for craftsmen.
These workers will never see the whole, they will only see the part.
And we all know when men lose the whole, it makes it bad for all of us."
Peeps just don't seem that forgiving anymore...
When I offer to wash your back in the shower, all you have to say is Yes or No.
Not all this "Who are you and how did you get in this shower?" nonsense.
Sheesh...Ungrateful sons of...
SAY HI TO PI, or as I do, STAY HI ON PI...
Ken-Dogger: Dude, would you stop staring?

KD: Oh, I get it, it's PI Day

The Waiting is the Hardest Part...
Morning Time Bending Friends,
Ken-Dogger: I’m tired, Wha…
Fluffer: Hey There Dogger
KD: Who are you?
F: I’m the Ghost of Daylight Savings Time.
KD: There’s a Ghost for that?
F: Dude, you don’t know the half of it…
KD: Can I get back the hour you stole?
F: It comes back in the Fall…
KD: That long?
F: Geez, you Humans, no one does delayed gratification anymore.
