Driving the truck from the 1971 movie “DUEL.”

The film “Duel” was the first feature film appearance of director Steven Spielberg. What a way to open a career.

The 1960 Peterbilt 351 was helmed by a stunt driver named Carey Loftin.

Does the name sound familiar to BZ readers? It should. Carey Loftin was one of the stunt drivers utilized in the 1968 film “Bullitt” starring Steve McQueen. Loftin was one of three drivers of the highland green Ford Mustang, along with Bud Ekins and McQueen himself, who only drove 10% of the time.

Off limits tour of the USS Iowa

I’m a sucker for stuff like this.

Can you imagine operating this ship under wartime conditions?

Mesmerizing. Let’s crawl through the turret as well.

If you aren’t gobsmacked by the ingenuity and the creative genius of a device like this ship — designed and assembled in only four years (a fraction of what it takes to build a ship today) — then you’re not paying attention.

BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, Thursday, 11-8-18: post midterm analysis

BZ began the show by getting scared out of his chair when he failed to realize that Demi, the studio calico cat, was inside and then rubbed up against his legs.

Featuring Right thinking from a left brain, doing the job the American Media Maggots won’t, embracing ubiquitous, sagacious perspicacity and broadcasting behind enemy lines in Occupied Fornicalia from the veritable Belly of the Beast, the Bill Mill in Sacramento, Fornicalia, I continue to proffer my thanks to the SHR Media Network for allowing me to utilize their studio and hijack their air twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays, thanks to my shameless contract — as well as appear on the Sack Heads: Against Tyranny Show every Wednesday night.

Hours 1 & 2: BZ talked about post-midterms issues, provided some Happy Stories and news updates. He also offered an in-depth analysis of President Trump’s Wednesday White House press conference in which “journalists” preached, stood up and refused to sit down and hand over the mic to others, and made pedantic, self-aggrandizing statements — continuing to prove they are the American Media Maggots. Oh, and one racist black woman from NPR.

Complete White House post-midterms press conference with President Trump, Wednesday, November 7th

Once again the American Media Maggots go out of their way to prove they are aptly named by me.

You supported Trump, you mostly won. You didn’t, you lost. From Breitbart.com:

Trump Pins Down 8 Republicans Who Resisted His Help and Lost in 2018

by Michelle Moons

President Donald Trump called out the Republican 2018 midterm election candidates who rejected his help and lost their races.

Trump recounted in the reporter-filled White House East Room press conference Wednesday that some of the midterm election candidates pushed him away, essentially disassociating with the president. “They did very poorly,” he said.

Here comes the truth.

“I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad,” Trump said of those Republican candidates who rejected him and lost. “But I feel just fine about it.”

Republican incumbent Rep. Carlos Curbelo lost to the Democrat challenger is Florida’s 26th congressional district. This in spite of major Republican victories in Florida for Ron DeSantis who won the race to become Florida’s next governor and Rick Scott who was ahead Wednesday in the election for a Florida U.S. Senate seat. Trump campaigned in the state for both of these candidates.

Incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Coffman was the next midterm candidate Trump called out on Wednesday for refusing his help. Coffman lost his re-election bid in Colorado to Democrat challenger Jason Crow. “Too bad Mike,” said Trump. 

Rep. Mia Love was the third name Trump listed. He recalled Love’s appeal to him to help with a hostage situation in Venezuela. “But Mia Love gave me no love. And she lost. Too bad,” said Trump. “Sorry about that Mia.” Incumbent Rep. Love trailed Democrat challenger Ben McAdams by more than 4,000 votes and two and a half percentage points as of midday Wednesday.

Rep. Barbara Comstock was number four on Trump’s list. “I think she could have won that race, but she didn’t have any embrace,” Trump said referring to her rejection of his midterm support. “She lost, substantially lost.” Comstock lost to Democrat challenger Jennifer Wexton in Virginia’s 10th congressional district.

Reps. Peter Roskam and Eric Paulson “Didn’t want the embrace,” said Trump of the incumbent Republican congressmen from Illinois’ sixth and Minnesota’s third congressional districts. Roskam lost to Democrat challenger Sean Casten. Paulson lostheavily to Democrat challenger Dean Phillips. 

Republican businessman Bob Hugin challenged scandal-laden Democrat Rep. Bob Menendez and lost in New Jersey. Trump lamented the loss, “I feel badly…That’s a race that could have been won.” Hugin was the one non-incumbent Trump called out.

Eighth on Trump’s list was incumbent Republican Rep. John Faso lost to Democrat challenger Antonio Delgado. 

The president said Wednesday that these eight were a few of those who “decided for their own reason not to embrace- whether it’s me or what we stand for, but what we stand for meant a lot to most people and we’ve had tremendous support.”

Here is the blunt truth: 45 GOP incumbents got cold feet or were anti-Trump and exited, leaving a massive political vacuum. They lacked the courage and tenacity to stand their GOP ground. There’s your real reason for the GOP’s loss of the House.

Bottom line: the Republicans could still own the Oval Office, Senate and House today if they weren’t vain, craven squishes.
