A Port Authority commissioner has resigned following the release of a video showing her attempting to intervene in a traffic stop by flipping out her Port Authority credentials and insisting she be addressed as "commissioner," then trying to bully the officers by dropping the names of higher-ups in town, and then ending with a string of profanities.
X-ennials are a micro-generation which overlaps between, well you can figure that out. Sometimes known as the Oregon Trail Generation. Usually stated as those born between around 77-84. We can float between the best and the worst of the Xers and Millennials.
Saw on the news this morning that the University of Utah has begun providing "Cry Closets" for their stressed out students. These closets include stuffed animals which the student can hug while they cry their stress away.
I thought the purpose of University was to educate Students to cope with the real world? What the hell happened to that?
Believe me, considering recent events in my life I understand the need to cry sometimes, but I thought that's one of the purposes of having a bedroom, or bathroom.
I guess next they'll be providing them for the military. "Waah! The First Sergeant put me on CQ for the holiday and my wife is going to be mad. Waah! Waa-hah-haa..."
Sheesh.

I showed that to all of my classes yesterday. Officers go through this kind of nonsense every day. If it's not recorded we never see it. Both of these young men did a great job and let her rant go a lot longer than I would. Early on, I would have said, "Commissioner, this conversation is over!"
The Chief should be very proud of these two men. I watched the followup this morning and when she came into the station to see how to get the vehicle back, she was a different person' She was very courteous, no threats, no name dropping and no bullying. See, being a jerk and losing your high paying political job, can make you a better person!

So, I just saw a headline "Stormy Daniels sues Trump for Defamation".
WTF? How does one "defame" a person who admits openly to not only having s3x for money, but paying and directing others to do so as well, on film?
Unless "de-fame" means make un-famous? That can't be, since nobody I know ever heard of her until all this mess.

My boys are now in college and were born in the mid to late 90's. We taught them that if they didnt do well at something, to work harder to reach that goal. I told them, no one is going to give you a "participation trophy" in the real world like they did when you were younger in sports. If you want the trophy (whatever that trophy might be) you will have to work hard for it because only winners earn a trophy. If you have a bad day or week, no one will care. A cry closet will do you no good because when you come out, the problem will still be there for you to face. No one will respect you, you earn that too! I told them that God has a plan for your life, He has given you gifts and talents and will guide you through your difficult journey. He will never leave you nor forsake you even though you think He has. Life in the real world is very difficult because we live in a messed up world with messed up people. They know this because they work in jobs that serve the public. When you need to cry, come to us, your parents, and we will support you as best we can and we will pray for the comfort that only God can give during hard times. You will get through it, and when you do, you will have learned valuable life lessons to take you to the next step and so on. That's why us old folks are so wise, you think we're not but you'll find out soon enough that we are not as stupid as you might think! That bomb usually hits around 30 or so.
No one ever learned anything by doing right the first time!

If they use one of those hats on me, it better come with extra batteries. I like telling my customers "I don't have feelings at work.....Except for hate, rage and spite"
Hello Mr. So n So, you area being charged with sexual mis-conduct. We been monitoring your brainwaves at work and have become aware of your thoughts on secretary Betty. We have terminated your employment, but have turned over your brain monitoring to the govt.

Someone in Washington already has a plan to strap a gun on it
Already have strapped a bomb on one. Remember that sniper in Dallas?

I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
