Wonderful day for putting the boat to sleep for the season.

Three 12 year bourbons. Which one do you like the most?

Weller Antique just after the storm front rolls through.

The amount of money the AI and crypto industries have spent and plan on spending to influence elections is why we need robust campaign finance reform. @tiffanymuller.bsky.social and @molly.wiki break it down here:

BREAKING: The Senate passes a $70B immigration enforcement bill without limits on President Trump's settlement fund.

The House is set to vote on a bill that would end a four-month funding lapse for immigration enforcement agencies. The legislation, which the Senate passed Friday, has been held up by disputes over President Trump’s ballroom and the $1.8B payout fund.

Urgent 🚨 Call Both Republican & Democratic Congressional reps at 202-224-3121. Demand they reject the bill the Senate just passed—a $70B immigration bill for more #ICELawlessness & brutality. Trump sent his #ICE thugs to California primary locations & that's just the start of his twisted plans!

Kill the kill-switch

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Iran is experiencing unusual weather for this time of year. Likely, a result of the increased atmospheric particulate, Iran is being hit with heavy storms. Iran has suffered a deep drought and it is possible, the military action has lead to heavy precipitation.

Here is a “high” proof single barrel bourbon that is easy to find and contains tremendous flavor.

Our government should not be for sale. Not to foreign countries. Not to corporations. Not to billionaires.

Is it me or is Trump thanking Congress often? He has ruled by Executive Order with only one major bill. Congress does nothing now.

This is going to go over well. Talk about making a statement.

Imagine a CEO filing a lawsuit against the company he runs.

Jack Smith should be the next Attorney General. Smith is one guy criminals, political and otherwise, would fear.

So, I got this in Chicago for a sale price. Seriously impressive bourbon. Now I wish I bought 2 or 3 bottles. Lots of flavor and I am still processing what I taste. Vanilla, chocolate, and a little tobacco but in a good way.

American capitalism: privatize the profits, socialize the losses.

Great video on foreign actor destroying our country! youtube.com/watch?v=x_cr...

Reddit says this bourbon is limited to Kentucky. I scored a bottle at Jewel in Illinois. A great bourbon for the price. 9+ year single barrel. Good brown sugar/ oak notes up front, smooth going down. Drinks a little hotter than the proof. Cannot beat the age/price ratio.

I guess those jobs were cut too soon? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The only solution to the American political mess is complete campaign finance transparency/ reform. End the corporate / billionaire control of our country!

TYT talked about this. Huckabee and likely others do what they want for reasons against US interests.

Let’s not forget that Howard Lutnick’s sons will make billions from the Supreme Courts ruling on tariffs should the court actually follow the constitution.

Beautiful fall day.

Benchmark has a series of bourbons that I think are spectacular for the price.

Disney is a cheap carnival. We need to go after Meta, Google and Palantir if you want to make a difference!

This one is distilled in Paxton, IL from regionally grown corn. Don’t know how long it is aged for but I would guess 4 years. It has a driving south on 55 through Central Illinois with the windows down earthy notes.

Along Lake Superior’s Southwestern shore it was rainy in the morning but a wonderful sunset by the evening.

A Walmart in the UP was selling this Maker’s Mark French Oaked. Really strong cherry notes in a good way.

I guess if you cannot measure CO2 you cannot make the direct connection to climate change.

I went to Binny’s hoping to score the store select single barrel 1792. Although the website promised 5 bottles, Binny’s had none😬. I got this single barrel Knob Creek instead. Single barrels just make me feel special!

Simple bourbon shelve made with a bourbon stave.

Orange and cherry bourbon cello … of sorts.

Big beef ribs. Yum!

It was on sale. Much better than the reviews. It has wonderful sweet notes at first. Well worth the sale price.

Too lazy to make an Old Fashioned.

It’s time

Nice!

Overturning Citizens United along with campaign finance reform should be #1 on the Democrat platform. Nothing would help America than cleaning out the big money from our politics!

A Sonoma made whiskey. Wonderful sweet flavors hit your palette followed by the traditional flavors of a rye whiskey. Very smooth and enjoyable as a sipper.

Yum! Wonderful Friday night pour. Surprised at the flavors.

Comer and Jordan spent 2 years looking for anything to impeach Biden and now MAGA wants us to believe some conspiracy theory. How about if Joe was so bad why didn’t these two super idiots figure it out?

Kind of early for a drink but I could not resist this rye I have not yet tried.

Still some snow in the Rockies.
