When I saw this post last night on Absolute 1776, it really made me chuckle.

I thought the garbage truck bit was funny enough — only because I can’t even imagine how annoying it was to people who hate Trump. But when I saw that he kept the orange vest on during his rally– just too funny.

*************

Okay. Not funny at all.

Also posted to Absolute 1776 yesterday – (link includes photos — info came from Daily Mail UK):

“JUST IN: Photos released of Diddy & J.Lo arguing, the same night that Diddy is accused of r*ping a 13-year-old girl while two celebrities watched.

If the allegation is true, the two celebrities could be in the photos you see below.

According to a lawsuit, the girl went to lie down in bed after she felt woozy after being handed a drink.

Diddy eventually entered the room with two celebrities, one a man and one a woman.

“Celebrity A” held the girl down and r*ped her while Combs and “Celebrity B,” a female, watched.

After Celebrity A was done, Combs r*ped the girl while the other 2 watched.

According to the Daily Mail regarding the September 7, 2000 incident, here are some of the celebrities who were allegedly in attendance at the party.

Jay Z
Ben Stiller
Fred Durst
Ice T
David Blaine
Damon Dash
Eminem
Dr. Dre
Steven Dorff
Josie Maran
Carmen Cass”

Also from Absolute 1776:

“The temple is toppling.

In this drop (for those unaware) is a list of names reported to have visited Little St. James.”

Our Daily Feature!

What Would Keith Richards Do?

Randomly chosen, yet again, from the enormous Chapter Five: Daily Affirmations. The topic today is a weighty one: Self-Knowledge.

In this area, Keith advises:

“I’ve lived my life in my own way, and I’m here today because I have taken the trouble to find out who I am.”

Actually, I really relate to that one. Maybe you do, too!

**************

And here’s this!!! Just because I love it!! The photographer of this photo posted it on Instagram yesterday, saying that it was taken 30 years ago in the UK.

*******************

And I think that is it for today.

I have a long day today. An afternoon shift, followed by a required training session at the Agency tonight! Aaaarrrrgh. I really don’t like to be out & about, driving alone in the dark on Halloween. (The agency’s offices are 30 miles from here.) But oh well.

Enjoy your Thursday, wherever you are in the world!

My driving-home-from-town-music yesterday!! It was a gorgeous day, and I had just spent 4 wonderful hours with just the most incredible patient I have had so far. (The 94-year-old Japanese man.)

Just a great song for driving on a gorgeous day when you feel so great about everything. Enjoy, gang.

“You And Me”

Take a look
At what I got
I can’t promise
You a lot

But you and me
And the road ahead

I can’t save
You from yourself
You gotta want it
All that’s left

Is you and me
And the road ahead

Wherever that wind might blow
Wherever that river rolls
You know I will go with you

Lookin’ over
The mountain’s crown
The water roars
And tumbles down

Like you and me
And the road ahead

Wherever that wind might blow
Wherever that river rolls
You know I will go with you

Just you and me
And the road ahead

Just you and me
And the road ahead

c – 2002 Tom Petty

One thing that is worth noting is that Phil was with his family at Yankee Stadium in NYC last night, watching the World Series, so how bad can it really be right now, if he’s at a ball game, having a great time?

That said, the “news” is just getting more and more alarmist (from the Truther camps), as we get closer to the alleged Election Day.

As you go over the posts below, just either try to use discernment, or just sigh and say, “whatever will be, will be, at this point.”

The Babylon Bee Officially Endorses Kamala Harris (satire) (2 mins):

And here’s this, just to remind ourselves… Sing along, sing loudly!!! Enjoy, gang.

Meaning, I only work one shift today. And it’s the last shift before I not only get a day off, but also, after today, my schedule returns to something normal.

Today, though, is my tenth shift in a row since Tuesday. Last night, when I was driving home (25 miles in the dark), I was so tired, I couldn’t think straight. But today, I’m feeling good and the couple I am with this evening are just the greatest people. They are such a pleasure to be with.

I have my schedule for November already and I have a new policy: I cannot accept anymore last-minute shifts. AT ALL. I am mentally worn out and I have too much writing to get done. (And now I only have to remember that this is my new policy.)

Anyway.

Since you last saw me here, my world got incredibly interesting. But it all revolves around some new patients I have so I can’t really post about it. It is sufficient to say that it is making my head spin, but not in a bad way.

Not much to post about this morning. I’m guessing everyone already knows about the nearly 3-hour Joe Rogan interview with Trump and how successful that was.

[FULL INTERVIEW on X, if you missed it.]

And an interesting Q-related post regarding Trump’s rally last night.

From NewsTreason 17 – (includes video clip) (below is quoting Trump at the rally):

““It’s coming to an end. In one way it’s sad, in another way it’s beautiful. I think it’s going to come to a very successful end and then a new period begins and that’s the next 4 years where we’re going to make our country so incredible… but there’ll never be rallies like this… and I will never forget it.”

“November 5th… I believe it will be the biggest political event in the history of our country.”

“God bless you all! Good luck fellas! Have a good life!”

From ScreenDaily:

Depp said during the ceremony: “My eternal thanks goes out to all of you people, real people, my employers, our employers. I am humbled as without you I would not be here or likely I would not be anywhere.

“I have to salute you all because you truly have been warriors and heroes and you are the very reason that I do continue and want to continue to make films. I’m very lucky to still be around and most of you are the reason for that so thank you. I hope that something in Modi inspires you because you inspire me.”

From Johnny Depp on Instagram:

What Would Keith Richards Do?

Once again, from Chapter Five, Daily Affirmations. The topic is Inner Demons. When asked about that demon inside him, Keith replied:

“He’s still around. Without the dope, we have a bit more of a chat these days. It’s been more of a truce.”

I can only hope that helps guide you in contending with your own inner demons today!!

The legal documents on this are horrible. As a victim of several rapes and sexual abuse when I was young, it breaks my heart when I read the details on all this stuff. But here ya go. (Click the link directly below and enlarge the pages) (Also, these guys were based in Columbus, Ohio — just one of many reasons why Columbus is such an evil place to me.)

From Ultra Pepe Lives Matter:

“I compiled the entire indictment here.
People need to realize that the modeling industry was a feeding ground for Jeffrey Epstein’s blackmail ring as well. The amount of abuse we’ve seen come out of that industry is staggering. Peter Nygard, Epstein, Rachel Chandler, Les Wexner, Jean Luc-Brunel.
Look at how many of these sick freaks are going down! Winning!

From approximately 2008 to 2015, the defendants MICHAELS.JEFFRIES, MATTHEW C.SMITH and JAMEST.JACOBSON, together with others, operated international sex trafficking and prostitution business.”

Also:

“When the conspiracy theorists told you that elites were into child trafficking, being blackmailed, and into Satanism, they said it was a conspiracy theory.
When Epstein was arrested for child trafficking they started to admit maybe we were onto something.
When Diddy was arrested for blackmailing your favorite artists with human trafficking they really started to believe the truth.
And now, Abercrombie and Fitch’s CEO was just arrested for sex trafficking but they said all those years ago that it was just a conspiracy theory that Hollywood and the Elites were being blackmailed, into Satanism and ped*philia.
It’s time to admit that the conspiracy theorists were right about everything.”

Also:

“Michael Jeffries was recruiting heterosexual men and forcing them to engage in Diddy like situations. Wow.
Pages 5-8 [linked above]

Now we know why all these celebrities are coming out in support of Kamala Harris. How many of them are blackmailed?

“Intentionally recruited heterosexual men, certain of whom were unwilling to engage in particular sex acts, including anal sex, and insisted that men who previously stated they were unwilling to engage in particular sex acts, including anal sex, nonetheless engage in such acts during the Sex Events;(h)pressured men to consume alcohol, Viagra and muscle relaxants known as poppers, during the Sex Events; and(i)required the presence of the Staff during the sexual activity, and ensured that men attending did not leave the Sex Events until JEFFRIES and SMlTH decided they were over.”

From Keith’s Youtube channel, 7 years ago:

Ask Keith Richards: How did you first meet Merle Haggard? (2 mins)

After what I posted yesterday about my overloaded schedule this week, I know it will probably seem hard to believe, but I did it AGAIN.

The agency texted me yesterday afternoon and asked me if I could pick up 2 additional shifts for another caregiver….

…and I was in such a GREAT mood, because things are going really, really GREAT for Sandra and me in NYC regarding our play, “The Guide to Being Fabulous,” that without even stopping to think, I once again said, “Sure!!”

And then afterwards, as I was getting my dinner ready, it finally dawned on me what I’d done.

I now have NO time for myself this week. No time to even wash my hair or do yoga. It’s insane.

Anyway. I’m going to have to pay more attention to this and stop saying yes without looking at my schedule first.

But that said, I was on the phone twice with Sandra yesterday, and I can’t really post what is going on right now, except to say that it is GREAT. And also to say that I am really BUSY and I need time to WRITE. And that in 2025, I will probably be going to NYC a lot!!

Okay.

“Red Hats Eliminate FEMA Threat Assessment Director Jeffery Afman in North Carolina

Red Hats on Saturday “eliminated” FEMA Threat Assessment Director Jeffery Afman in an unsanctioned but fortuitous engagement that took place in the mountains northeast of Asheville, North Carolina, a once picturesque community laid waste by Hurricane Helene and, subsequently, the throngs of federal agents who arrived in the storm’s aftermath.  A single .300 Winchester Magnum round, fired from a Savage Arms bolt-action rifle at 800 yards, ended Afman’s life.[…]”

What Would Keith Richards Do?

It’s a strange one, today, gang.

It’s from Chapter Three, the Philosophy of Keith. If you feel there is no harm in repeating a good thing, you’re not alone! Consider the Philosophy of Keith:

“Look at Jimmy Reed: For twenty-five years he did the same song , and every one of them was different.”

That should give you courage today, if you feel like maybe you’ve been repeating yourself…

Since I am re-visiting the top 100 hits from 1971 for my memoir, this song was going through my wee bonny head this morning at breakfast, so I leave you with it today.

A huge Top 40 radio hit from 1971, Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds – “Don’t Pull Your Love Out on Me, Baby”. Enjoy!!

Yes, I have the day off. And I don’t have another day off until a week from today… so I gotta make it count.

(And the reason I only have one day off, and EIGHT shifts in the next seven days, is because when they texted me and asked me if I could substitute for a caregiver who needed time off, and pick up 4 of her shifts this week with a 98-year-old Japanese man who lives way out in the Hinterlands, I said “SURE!!” because I love Japanese guys, no matter what age. And then when I went to mark it on my calendar, I immediately saw my folly: What the fuck was I thinking?? but, alas, it was too late…)

Anyway. I guess I’ll appreciate it when my paycheck arrives in my bank account while I’m in NYC, spending a fucking fortune…

Okay.

The stunning fall weather will be even more amazing today than yesterday, so I’m planning to take a walk today. Do yoga at some point. And then spend the rest of the day writing at my desk. So it should be a good day.

Once again, our random sampling comes from the seemingly endless Chapter Five, Daily Affirmations. This time, the topic is Self-Knowledge. Keith advises:

I leave you today with this.

As I’m developing notes for my (really, really emotionally overwhelming) memoir about my life from 1971-1980, I remembered one of the final things my dad said to me while he was still coherent.

We were sitting together in this really beautiful area in the high rise where he lived, that overlooked the dining hall with its enormous windows. It was a beautiful day. He and I were alone — no caregiver, no hospice nurse. And suddenly he said to me, “I hope you didn’t legally change your middle name. Because it was a really beautiful name.”

“No, I didn’t legally change it, Dad. I just wanted to keep my middle name private and not have it part of my career.” Which is true.

“Good,” he said. “Because I don’t see why you would ever want to give up a beautiful name like ‘Joy.'”

And I don’t.

And then this song suddenly came back to me over the weekend, while I was working on the memoir. It was a huge radio hit in 1972. I was 12, and not only did I really, really love this song, but I loved the name of it.

Based on Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,” the song “Joy,” by Apollo 100 from 1972. Enjoy!!!
