An Amish man in Ohio was the subject of a low-speed police chase on May 14 when he was asleep while operating a horse and buggy. Ashtabula Sheriff’s Deputy Mike Talbert attempted to stop the buggy at around 2:43 a.m. in Orwell, Ohio, but was unsuccessful and told other officers that the driver of the horse and buggy looked like he was asleep, according to Fox 8. “There is a Bud Light can sitting in there and he’s passed clean out,” Talbert says. “We got a drunk Amish guy passed out in a buggy.” “He just turned eastbound on Bogue

The horses know the way home... I cannot remember any more which country it was but, back in the early 80's a Caribbean island decided to change from the Brit style "Right side of the road" to the American style. People handled it fairly well, but drunk drivers in horse/donkey carts that nodded off? Their motive power moved over to the side they were used to....WHAM.

The person operating the horse and buggy was identified as Nathan Miller, who took a breathalyzer test and registered a .063%, according to police. That's .01 less than 8x the legal limit, I'm surprised he's not dead!

The Ohio BAC limit is 0.08%. 0.063% is well under that. He must have been under 21, for which the limit is 0.02%.

The woman who built our house was a wild woman. She started it in 1905 finishing it the next year. Bought several farms and built homes on them then built a couple local stores. She used to really drink. She used to buggy-up a horse and go to Webster (minnesota) to have her jug filled. Shed get herself to the barber skipping up the steps to get him to fill her jug. Women weren't allowed in bars or liquor stores back then. So, we were little kids sneaking down to the 90 some year old barber, the son of the 1906 barber after piano training and listen to stories about our father, his friends, the neighborhood ministers, bank robberies and other fun stuff. I don't remember any single part of piano trading but remember ever word uttered by that wonderful, cranky old man. Anyway, Mrs Mahar , what a perfect name! would get her whiskey, be blasted long before half way home with her head lolling back as far as it would go then forward onto her chest. By the third mile shed be passed out. The fourth would be worse than that. Eventually the kids would find her asleep at the barn door that was too narrow for the buggy to enter so the horses would be standing in the barn, buggy in the doorway and mom sleeping in the e shade of the old elm tree. Upright on the seat. The kids would wakes her, shed head for the house and make supper for the crew. Our baby sitter, who was very upright by the time we showed up -she was in her 70s, then -told meshe and my aunt Nellie and a bunch of church ladies went to see Mrs mahar when they all understood she was maybe dying of dyptheria, malaria or cholera or whatever that killed people dead in those days and brought food asking if they should tag-team living there to help with the kids. She said she had all the help she needed rolling over, reaching under the bed pulling out the jug. You see? Ill be fine😉 This house is so danged big no one has ever gotten around to cementing the basement floor. Why bother? Anyway, the furnace man was here one day and I was downstairs telling him this story which made him start and stop repeatedly and said if we ever do cement the floor wed get one of those ground penetrating radar type.deals like you see on tv and run it back and forth a few times just in case. I told him it may sound odd but we do know there are two dead people buried on the end of our.porch so I didn't think it wasn't so extreme. But Mrs mahar's brother was a famous horse.jockey- not the racetrack type jockey but the horse buyer and seller kind- so she knew how to procure a good horse that would always find home without a stupid human messing things up.

Well, the lad wasn't driving. He was sleeping, (and you can't do both at the same time). Therefore he was just riding. The horse was driving. And, the horse was stone old sober and had full control of the vehicle, (just taking it easy to not disturb the passenger). Sleeping While Intoxicated isn't illegal, right?

One of the funniest things I've ever seen was in central, lower Michigan in Amish country. Two guys in a buckboard , towing an old aluminum fishin' boat. The passenger tossed an empty beer can over his shoulder and into the boat without even looking back....

One thing Democrats in the media sure know how to do is beat a word to death, and they do so collectively. In 2000, when candidate George W. Bush announced his selection of Dick Cheney as his Vice-Presidential running mate, “gravitas” was the word of the day. There wasn’t a news outlet or reporter who didn’t spend the next week belching out “gravitas” to describe why Cheney was picked, with the implication being Bush was too stupid and needed someone smart on the ticket with him. Reporters uniformly used it to death without really ever having used it before – the hive mind does not need to be ordered,

While speaking at a Georgia Democrat Party gala event on Saturday night in Norcross, Georgia, Democrat gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, as usual, managed to stick her whole foot in her mouth when trying to make her case for reelection election as governor, as the Gwinnett Daily Post reported. She pointed to a mantra Republicans have touted for years — Georgia is the No. 1 state to do business — and contrasted it to issues such as mental health care, maternal mortality, wages and incarceration. “I am tired of hearing about how we’re the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live,”

Apparently continuing the method he perfected during the 2020 campaign in which his aides kept him insulated in his Delaware basement for months on end, President Joe Biden has now gone 100 days without doing an interview with reporters — mainstream liberal or otherwise. The last time the President of the United States sat down to answer questions was February 10, when Biden did an interview with NBC's Lester Holt. Meanwhile, Biden has not been too busy to take frequent long-weekend trips to his homes in Delaware, head to Asia and Europe, or travel around the country touting his few legislative agenda items

On Thursday morning in a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm repeatedly refused to acknowledge that the Biden administration's war on U.S. energy had caused gas prices to rise since the president took office and started cracking down on domestic energy production. Even after Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri laid out the proof of the Biden administration's anti-fossil fuel policies that have limited supply and driven up costs, Granholm still wouldn't accept any responsibility for the soaring cost of gas as the national average for regular unleaded hit another all-time high on Thursday morning.

The last several weeks in the United States have been a wild ride. Everything that could go wrong, short of a full-blown apocalyptic situation, has gone wrong. The stock market is currently in the midst of a collapse, with the Dow Jones losing nearly 5,000 points over the last 30 days. Inflation clocked in at 8.3% for April, representing another crushing blow to Americans. Of course, gas prices continue to break milestones on a daily basis. Meanwhile, the border crisis is completely out of control, with the only somewhat positive news being that a court blocked the Biden administration’s push to lift Title 42,

I’ve previously reported how Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) took Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm apart when she tried to blame rising gas prices on Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Then there was Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) who exposed an insane announcement from the Interior Department about stopping all new oil leases. Interior Secretary Haaland also refused to tell Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) whether it was environmentally better to produce oil in Venezuela or the U.S. — his point being if this is about what’s better for the environment, you’d want to produce it here. Yet the Biden team is hindering production here, while reaching out to Venezuela.

Last September, New York Democrats sought to drive the Republican Party out of existence in the state by taking the term “gerrymander” to unheard-of levels. Currently, the Democrats hold 19 congressional seats to the GOP’s 8. The map drawn by the state legislature was a parody of democracy. It would have eliminated five Republican seats and strengthened the marginal hold on several other seats by Democrats. Fortunately, the state’s highest court put the kibosh on that hyperpartisan nonsense. “Democratic leaders in the legislature drafted the 2022 congressional redistricting map without any Republican input, and the map was adopted by the Legislature without a single Republican vote in favor of it,”

The San Francisco Examiner's editorial board wrote a scathing rebuke of the city’s archbishop, Salvatore Cordileone, after he announced he would deny Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Holy Communion, over her staunch support for abortion. (snip) In response, the liberal editorial board blasted the Catholic leader for "punishing" Pelosi, instead of "right-wing politicians" who "[vote] against health care or funding for the poor." They defended Pelosi as a leader who has "consistently fought on the morally right side of these issues," and praised her as a role model for women. The editorial board argued that by denying Pelosi Holy Communion, the archbishop wasn’t being loyal to Christ.

For regular readers of this site, today’s news will likely not come as a surprise, but much of the nation seems to remain unaware of it. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has released its latest reliability assessment for the summer of 2022 and, to put it mildly, the news is not good. In far too many states, the power grid is already nearly at full capacity, and in the next few months, that capacity will be exceeded. This isn’t a question of “if” or really even “when.” It’s just a fact. Industry experts know this and have been trying to sound the alarm for several years.

These people will get us all killed. Mitt Romney called on our NATO allies to prepare for a nuclear strike from Russia. The US has already invested tens of billions of dollars in military weapons to Ukraine. The New York Post reported: The US and its NATO allies should prepare a “devastating” response to potential Russian nuclear action, Sen. Mitt Romney said on Saturday. The call to action comes on the heels of threats from the Kremlin and warnings from Russian diplomats that the country’s Ukraine invasion could lead to a nuclear strike, the Utah Republican wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times.

It's one of several measures the president unveiled to mitigate the increasingly dire baby formula shortage that's plaguing Americans nationwide - which has already led to multiple reports of hospitalized children.
