Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- VDH on Gavin Newsome and his cruel notion of "cruel."

- Jonathan Turley on Democrats protesting the deployment of National Guard troops. Gavin Newsome is despicable. 

- This story just makes me smile: IDF will force antisemite Greta Thunberg to watch Oct 7th footage. Good - about time she received an education.

- More on JFK Jr. removing all member of CDC panel advising US on vaccines. I think any media outlet that described RFK Jr. as a "vaccine skeptic" should be forced to defend the effectiveness of the Covid vaccine. If they admit the shots weren't effective - they too should be labeled as "vaccine skeptics."

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If you did a Venn Diagram of the people who thought Kamala Harris would be a good choice for VP and the people who thought a re-boot of Murphy Brown would be a hit - I'd bet you'd find a lot of overlap... "Coming of Age" stories are a little too spot on if you just reverse the order of those three words... Disappointed Joe Biden has called a lid on all press for the rest of the time until the election. Now no reporter will get to ask him if biological males can get their periods. I had money on him saying, "Come on man!"... If I owned a bar or restaurant I'd post pictures of Greta Thunberg scowling on the inside door of all bathroom stalls. Maybe that's just funny to me... You know what would be a real October surprise? A new tape from Osama bin Laden... The Muses were the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (Memory). They were born of Memory so their arts cause the soul to remember a higher plane of being. The Ancients seem to have had a better grasp of what the arts do than we moderns...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

In hindsight Marianne Williamson, crystals and all, would have been a better option for the Democrats than Joe Biden... ESPN reportedly is considering using Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit for Monday Night Football if the college football season is delayed or cancelled. I have a better idea - if the college football season is cancelled then ESPN should write a massive check to the NFL to move some games to Saturday night and have Fowler and Herbstreit do those games... I think this thing would kill more kids than abandoned refrigerators... "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." - Theodore Roosevelt... How come CNN hasn't had uber expert Greta Thunberg on air to tell us what to think about BLM? What are they trying to hide?... College football prediction - the September 5th game between Oregon and North Dakota State will be cancelled using Covid-19 as the excuse but the real reason is the Ducks don't want to risk playing against QB Trey Lance who may be the best college QB in all of football (only kind of joking about this prediction)...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Tulsi Gabbard votes "Present" on Impeachment. Very wise move. She is the Democratic candidate to watch in my opinion. The question is whether the Democratic Party establishment would allow her to be the candidate. That's a serious concern... Has the cancel culture gone after Cher for her 1973 hit song Half-breed yet? That would be fun to watch... #TulsiCoward is trending on Twitter. Proof that she hit a nerve with her non-vote for Impeachment with the unhinged. That just makes her more attractive for us voters who are hinged... This is one of the reasons why investing in Bitcoin makes me nervous... Heh Heh - Kim Jung-Un the new Siskel & Ebert... Let's be honest - Greta Thunberg's greatest accomplishment was as the inspiration of hundreds of "How dare you!" memes... And I don't care where Tulsi is polling because the polls are crap. If you added Candidate McCandidateface to the polls that choice would immediately become the front-runner. Just saying... If James Comey goes to jail - what are the odds that the Obamas ask if he can be given Jeffrey Epstein's old cell?...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

"Epstein didn't kill himself" might just become the real-world version of Ayn Rand's fictional "Who is John Gault"... Marine fighter pilot Ted Williams describes crash-landing his jet during a combat mission in the Korean War (1953)...  Little known fact - Sweden once invaded the Americas landing in what is now Delaware Bay in 1638... It still bothers me that Joe Thornton was traded from the Bruins. And that all Boston got back in exchange for Jumbo Joe from the Sharks was Brad Stewart, Marco Strum and Wayne Primeau was just salt in the wound... In the 17th century hat makers used mercury to separate fur from felt which often led to mental illness and also to the phrase "mad as a hatter"...  If I owned a bar or restaurant I'd post pictures of Greta Thunberg scowling on the inside door of all bathroom stalls. Maybe that's just funny to me...
