THE END
Really good jpegs…….thanks for posting!
Thanks. I purposely looked for old photos that would provoke a wide range of emotions;
— “interesting!” ….. the Statue of Liberty
— “WTF!!!” ….. man’s face being electrocuted
— “god, that pisses me off!!” …… boy at funeral getting a flag
— “holy shit!” …. last second ejection from airplane
— “that’s America today!!” …. guy looking for job in 1930
— “that makes me so happy!” ….. a decrepit used up Lenin
— “ahhhh, niiiice!” …… beautiful Native American
— “sad, so sad” ….. soldier discovers his family has been killed
And so on, and so on …. I, myself, was somewhat emotionally drained by the time I got done with it all (around 4AM this morning)
“My dad got killed in a pointless war for Israel and the military-industrial complex and all I got was this fucking flag.”
Had nothing to do with Israel.
It had to do with Saddam exceeding his “useful” time limit that had started ticking in the mid 1960’s and his decision to drill oil pipe under Kuwait.
The bonus was we got to steal Iraq’s oil and still are…
Dismissed.
If you don’t think that our non-stop wars in the middle east to destabilize countries that surround Israel is not for their benefit, then you are naive.
Thank you, Stucky!
Stucky….you did….
Great Pics.
So we killed off all the natives because we were jealous of their beautiful women who actually bathed more than once a week?
Sad.
Missing a key photo,the Stuckman posting a pretty cool post!
I am wary of next post as good posts usually follow with something to say at the least esoteric!
Tomorrow’s post is titled —- “How animals masturbate even though they don’t have opposable thumbs.”

The dew claws can be a real bitch…..
Dare I create a Rumble video of my Crev rooster (kids named him Moe) mounting my Faverolle, Dorothy?
Myself and at least one other person want to se that video. Rumble away!
No shit, this morning he decided to “attack” my wife as she put it. I watched it. If launching yourself at a person’s knees and henpecking – granted, over and over, but still – is an attack, then I do believe we have a winner!
He’s just protective of his puss err uhh lovely hens. She wants to change his name to Diablo now. I suppose the horns are sorta fitting but I’ll have none of it. He’s a Stooge, through and through.
This is pretty good. Thanks! It’s a good break from today’s cold. (We’re now up to -6 degrees with a wind chill of -18.)
In W TN, we are up to 12 with a w/c of -2 snow, mixed with sleet. Low 50’s predicted for next Monday.
it’s 80 here & humid as hell,i have the ac on–
ya wanna swap 20*?
My old buddy who lived in Tampa used to complain about the 3 days of winter you guys got every year.
We’re taking the brunt of it for y’alls benefit now TPA. Hold on, you’ll get your wish in a lil bit.
Annunciata M. D’Alesandro upon first seeing her daughter after her birth:
I’m sorry … but that’s a Biden voter one week after the Inauguration.
That is the baby’s mother’s maiden name. But that could also work. I was trying to stick with the old photo theme.
Could be a person getting the new covid test too…
That’s Mia Farrow during the filming of Rosemary’s Baby saying, “Oh! SHITE!”
Yes, and the baby in question (from my maternal reference) is Nancy Pelosi.
Wow, just Wow and…
. . . THANKS!
I finally sat down to look at them… you know I love old photos.
Here are some I thought to bring here to comment about.
This almost is a hand-of-God photo!
Did Mama bin Laden sell Mary Kay?
I just have to suggest that this is a very sexy lady with a lovely figure, if I do say so myself!
The Statue hand very odd looking and the contrast is amazing.
Almost looks like she’s taking a selfie.
I wouldn’t have thought of that in a hundred years. Very funny!!
With a car like that, it looks more like he sold Mary Kay, Janette, Luanda, Lisa, Roxy, and plenty of others.
I can see areola from 100 years back. When that was wet, I imagine that plenty were quite upset in that day and age.
You’re joking-that young lady turned out to be Obama Bin Laden?! Wow. And I thought we were leading the way in tranny inclusion, but here Obama was really breaking new ground. How progressive!
jewish lady with big knockers. I married one. but she doesnt seem hip to any of their conspiracies.
The Afghan people should hate the Russians and the US for what we have done to them.
How about the Mary Kay pink Cadilac in the Bin Laden portrait.
Lol! I was looking at the absurd 70’s clothes and I missed the pink car.
Almost like the Brady Bunch kids multiplied.
I think it was a Lincoln. But it sure was pink.
I’m pretty sure they hated us before the first bomb was dropped.
For unilaterally supporting Israel, and vetoing every vote against them in the Security Council.
The beauty you identify as a Native American is a Filipino woman of mixed race. Her picture is in the Wikipedia entry for Filipinos, full title A Filipino Mestiza Woman in 1875. It was also used on the cover of a book called Copla al Recuerdo de Manila. https://books.apple.com/de/book/copla-al-recuerdo-de-manila/id1334833053
The Asian style hand fan is kind of a give away that this isn’t an Indian.
I was suspicious. I didn’t think she looked like an American Indian.
Like MC, I didn’t think she looked like an Injun either.
The web site I got it from … some old-western-pictures site (I got the picture and explanation from different sites) … made the claim. I even wonder now if it was a postcard.
Thanks for the clarification.
What if the choices were:
1) bomb the city, or
2) let the war drag on for a couple more years?
Seems like the same kind of choice Truman faced in Japan.
Not that the other guys played by such nice rules in the first place.
Killing millions of others did not get the reward they thought they would get.
I remember the centre of my hometown, Liverpool, STILL looking like that in 1946!
Are we not supposed to notice that the Statute of Liberty looks like a dude? “Lady” Liberty my ass.
Are you saying Lady Liberty is Trans?
Ask Rachel for some guidance on that one.
My two favorites are the 106 year old gun toting granny, and the soldier who wouldn’t salute. Both folks have Serious Brass Balls (one literally, one figuratively).
Thanks Stucky, I could look at old historic photos all day. And Jamie Lee had some tremendous boobies.
Native American woman kinda looks like Melania.
I was thinking a young Raquel Welch.
My first impression was Chrissy Teigen
young Raquel was hoooooot!
A Fookin Pink Lincoln….
Oh the hilarity
Maybe Elvis was in the country visiting.
Observations…Saigon-guy-punching looks like Rudy Giulani, and
Lenin looks like Charles Manson.
Huh. Maybe reincarnation is a thing, after all.
Manson was my first thought as well. The eyes.
Or puncher looks like Bill Belichek.
I particularly like #5- Looks like the latest in WU-Flu masking for the Democrat jackass.
The boy gets a flag just killed me! My god what has this country lost that it doesn’t even know is gone. How very decent of you stucky. Your slowly becoming my favorite here. Thank you
J
Yes – you can see him trying to be brave and holding back the tears.
Curious- is the Titanic survivor pic from the Carpathia after the rescue?
Very nice, Stuck.
1) Taliban never fully took over Afghanistan
2) that guy ain’t carving the eye.
3) if that is an Injun woman then I am a red-ass baboon
4) Jamie Lee oh mama oh mama!
5) looks like the French fighter was smiling
6) the guys filming the lion had big brass ones for sure
7) the Statue of Liberty did not arrive into the US until June 17, 1885. Not 1884.
So … it IS an Injun woman!
You are a real comedian, you are.
First photo, the statue of liberty= America’s goddess. Says it all. https://scottishritenmj.org/blog/freemasonry-statue-liberty
I learned something new today seeing the pic of Lenin. Crazy eyes has been a leftist trait since time immemorial.
Indeed!!
From Hardscrabble Farmer we have all learned about the validity of Physiognomy … a fascinating endeavor.
For example, did know that you can deduce certain things about a person just by the shape of their nose?
anti-Semite loser! His influence came from franz Joseph Gall. A product of Darwinism (the big lie) and Eugenics. The book is trash. “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” John 7:24. How a man or women is is not by appearance, it is by his heart, because from the heart comes wickedness-not the brain or looks. It’s how they treat people, and think of themselves as above others. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9. I know a beautiful child with Down Syndrome, a beautiful example of someone the word would love to abort, but God loves!
Lol! Nameless loser. Maybe Stuck will ignore your comment but if he doesn’t the shit just hit the fan.
BINGO!!!
People must be WORTHY of my scorn. Those who receive an Ass Reaming from me are among the privileged few. My time is too valuable to get into a shit-fest with people I don’t like.
This anon isn’t worth even a “Blow Me” response. He or she is a Big Nothingburger.
Lots of privileged sheep running around out there, right Stuck?!
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
People with crazy eyes, like Manson, ARE crazy. They prove themselves with their murdering ways. Look into the eyes and you see the soul.
That’s nice and all, but I bet you know which streets not to walk down and which people to make a wide circle around based purely on their appearance.
People, like nature, tell you a lot if you care to look. Poisonous creatures are easily recognizable, just like a lot of poisonous people.
You ignore what your eyes show you at your peril.
Wow, I would follow her to the ends of the earth.
Just the kind of guy I am … willing to sacrifice myself for others.
Follow her? Wouldn’t that be called stalking?
She’s all for anti-immigration and anti-Islamization. Good cause.
Some are made up. Sorry, but I’m spoiled, I can see through BS, it’s 2021.
I believe they are all legit. Although the guy getting his face electrocuted looks more like a painting than a photo.
Which ones do you think are fake?
I love seeing old historical photos. But the photo of Jamie Lee Curtis and her mom, Janet Leigh, seemed superficial compared to the rest.
The joy of the boy getting news shoes and the pain of the soldier returning from the war and prison to find his family dead – wow.
You’re right … it really doesn’t fit. But, it was getting really late, I was tired, and when I came across it, it really perked me up. Then there’s the TBP First Law Of Picture Posting; 1) Boobies are always welcome anywhere, anytime.
Hollywood is superficial. Yeah??? Everytime one of them sees a camera its a superficial moment.
I wonder how many of those mannequins became the supposed aliens at Roswell.
