Tattoos

When I looked at the photograph of Garcia’s hand tattoos, I immediately understood that the letters added to the photo above the symbols were an interpretation of the gang symbols below. I never saw them as an attempt to make anyone believe they were actually tattooed on his hand. I think that sometimes, people just need to use their head for something other than a funnel.

Jailhouse tattoos

Could it be that there’s people on this planet that have never seen a jailhouse tattoo? Some are not legible and some are the type Fang Fang had on herself.

Weekend at Biden’s

I am sorry about Joe Biden’s recent health diagnosis, but every time I see him, I can’t help but thinking of the movie Weekend at Bernie’s. In the future, it will be interesting to see who the puppet master was.

Biden’s health

The American public has been criminally hoodwinked over Joe Biden’s physical and mental state for many years. Someone needs to be held accountable.

STOP

I’m sick and tired of people running stop signs. I’m on guard when I am driving. The cops need to start ticketing everyone. It’s so dangerous and it makes me scared to death. Stop or get a ticket. It’s not that hard.

No veggies

Farmers are sounding the alarm that there we be a produce shortage due to lack of funds from the government. I guess this is good news for those who hate eating vegetables. And no, potatoes are not the answer.

FEMA assistance

Sounds like the good folks just to our north are still waiting on federal assistance after the recent round of devastating tornadoes. Sure hope we don’t end up needing help this huricane season.
