  1. I continue to maintain that HB is the Florida of California Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe says he has been fired from his job as a high school football coach after his protest at a city council meeting in California. Kluwe was arrested at the Huntington Beach city council meeting last week, at which he spoke out against the decision to erect a plaque at a local library. The plaque features the words “Magical, Alluring, Galvanizing and Adventurous” and the city commission confirmed it was a reference to Maga. The former Minnesota Vikings player then made critical comments about the Trump administration before saying he would “engage in the time-honored American tradition of peaceful civil disobedience” and walked on to the meeting’s stage. He was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for disrupting an assembly. On Thursday Kluwe said he had been fired from his job as a football coach at Edison High School in Huntington Beach. “I knew it was a possible consequence,” Kluwe told the Guardian by text. “I think it just goes to show what Maga actually stands for – they don’t want to build anything, they just want to tear people and institutions down to make themselves feel better, regardless of what it costs the community. I sincerely doubt Edison is going to find another ex-NFL player to coach freshman football.” He said he was not given a reason for his dismissal but was told he had brought a lot of attention to the school. At the council meeting, Kluwe was highly critical of the Donald Trump’s Maga movement. “Maga is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy and most importantly, Maga is explicitly a Nazi movement,” he said. “You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that’s what it is.” All seven members of the Huntington Beach city council are conservatives and one member, Gracey Van Der Mark, said there was “nothing peaceful” about Kluwe’s protest. She said he was guilty of “causing alarm among those in attendance, including two young students”. Last week, Kluwe told the Guardian he has a court date in April over his arrest. “We’ll see what happens. There’s a possibility the ACLU might get involved. Some people have been telling me they’re looking to challenge this because they think it might not be legal.” Kluwe was outspoken on social issues during his NFL career, which lasted from 2005 to 2013, and he claimed he was eventually released by the Vikings because of his beliefs and his support for same-sex marriage. Kluwe’s freshman team had a poor season in 2024. They finished with a 1-1-8 record and were outscored 297-47. The varsity team won the Division 1-A state championship. Huntington Beach High School District has been approached for comment.
  2. It's widely known here that she was murdered by her wife...a woman who previously served a prison sentence for killing the MAN she was married to.
  3. Man, the CA desert is BEAUTIFUL, especially this time of year. I highly recommend the Palm Springs thing. And as always, for kids that age, Whale Watching (likely dolphin watching).
  4. assuming he's still here.
  5. Where is home? Maybe an overnight in Palm Springs? See the desert and ride the Tramway? And "The Living Desert" is a terrific zoo.
  6. There's one in Oceanside too.
  7. A few years ago, a top Los Angeles agent got a huge listing. A multi-million dollar house (I don't remember the particulars). He hired a Hollywood film crew and a handful of models to make a video ad for the home. He spend 40,000 or so on the video ad. Should he have done the same for a $400,000 house in Pacoima?
  8. You shook on the deal. What's your word worth to you? Any reasonable agent knows that you can 100% not pay him a dime and get away with it, but, what's your word worth to you? Now, do the math when the commission is $6,000 instead of $50,000. Do you expect the same level of service? Who gives the better blowjob...the hooker that you meet at the bar at The Bellagio that charges $500, or the one that you pick up on the corner in the ghetto that charges $20?
  9. and the gays, trans, bleks, and jews? That should be the SCOTUS nominees and federal judge appointments. Every single judge needs to be FABULOUS!
  10. Fuck yeah man. We need an old white guy trojan horse. Get to the White House, and THEN release the gays, trans, jews, bleks, Etc.
  11. My son was a Corporal. Corporal is officially a Non Commissioned Officer. The overwhelming majority of E-4s don't ever make corporal. They are "Specialists", that rate the same pay, but don't have the NCO responsibilities. This guy was a Specialist.
  12. I love love love Pete. But as a candidate for POTUS? Fuck that. Team old white guy here. That's who Americans will vote for. Forget gays, blacks, Jews, women. Old white guys are where it's at. I want to win. Let Mr. Old White Guy get elected and appoint Pete to something big.
  13. No shit. This mofo's a hard-charger.
  14. Interesting experience today doing a showing. Yesterday I text the listing agent asking for a 9 AM appointment. I get the confirmation quickly. This morning at 8:15 or so, I get a text from the listing agent: I will have the home ready for your 9 AM showing. I will have the home at 70 degrees, all the lights will be turned on, and candles will be lit around the home. When the showing is complete, just text me and I will come over and secure everything. The doors will be unlocked by 8:45 so you can walk your client through the front door without fooling with a lockbox Fucking listing agent doing his job to present his listing in the best possible light. Mad respect for this guy.
  15. wrong thread, but whatever. Somebody I know well was working in Alanis Morissette's house this week. He didn't interact with her...just her assistant. They were in the home gym, and the guy noticed a harmonica in the cupholder of the treadmill. He asks about it, and the assistant says Alanis plays the harmonica while running on the treadmill. Wow.
  16. FIFY When I lived in Dana Point, I knew a trained chef. Culinary school guy, and he cooked AMAZING food. His goal was to be a private chef for the OC elites. But, he had a problem; he was the worst looking human being I've ever seen. He was an ugly guy, but he took it up several notches by being the dirtiest looking mofo in town. The Hell's Angels would have passed on this guy because he didn't meet their grooming standards. So I knew that no rich guy would ever hire this guy to cook for him because he's a fucking slob. Take Billy Bob Thorton's kid in the Landman show and add 10 years, and you get chef. Fucking filthy fingernails, etc. Anyway, a while back I saw another guy I know, and I asked about the Chef (whom I hadn't seen in years). Mutual buddy says Chef met a Vietnamese girl, they got married, moved to Ho Chi Mihn (sp?) city, and opened a wildly-successful taco stand.
  17. He does that, he immediately becomes a lame-duck, with his own party debating every move he makes. Maybe it's not a her. Maybe it's a him with a very tiny cock and balls. HB is the Florida of California.
  18. @Vic Mackey may be to pale for you, but she's the correct size
  19. sounds like it's getting dicey for this guy.
  20. and a cheap-ass guitar that sounds pretty fucking great in the hands of Mike Campbell.
  21. is Laos in China, or Japan?
  22. I had a tenant in one of my furnished rentals...a young dude that was/is an apprentice lineman in the IBEW. He stopped by to say hello recently. He had his first weekend off in a long time. He's been working the fire areas. 7 days a week 16 hours a day. Stacking some serious cash.
