FUN: 151 Photos Of Animals Having A Worse Day Than You

Wednesday, July 8, 2020

There are days when it feels like the world is going against you. You’re late for work, and the keys have just fallen into the drain hole. But day-breaking fails have been well documented in the history of humankind, and there’s a silent agreement not to talk about ‘em too much.

POLITICAL: Why The Left-Wing Seems Insane (Mostly Because They Are), by L. Neil Smith

Tuesday, July 7, 2020

If the human species is to survive the present century, if Western Civilization is to survive, this irrational tendency must be treated as the mental disease it is and wiped out. I am nobody’s Republican, but it is absolutely essential that Republicans retain the Senate and the White House this Fall and take back the House of Representatives. Republicans, for the most part, are cowardly and stupid—the timorous and brain-dead attitude of Sean Hannity and Judge Jeanine Pirro toward private gun ownership and individual self-defense is an extremely sad example—but at least they are not completely insane.

Can’t they see that the loonies are in charge or the asylum?

GUNS: THE RIGHT TO BUY WEAPONS IS THE RIGHT TO BE FREE

Monday, July 6, 2020

Having not read The Weapon Shops of Isher in some years and unable to find my old paperback copy I ordered a replacement from Amazon. So there it was, on the first page, in the prologue:

THE RIGHT TO BUY WEAPONS IS THE RIGHT TO BE FREE

People have understood this for generations, it took a lot of efforts (yes, I put that plural on purpose) by anti-immigrant bigots, people seeking favor with protection racketeers, racists, fascists, and fake liberals to reach the current level of hostility to the right to bear arms our so-called betters keep trying to keep stirred up

Seems absolutely correct to me!

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

POLITICAL: Is Biden mentally competent?

Sunday, July 5, 2020

The Strategies Of Dementia Politics
Tyler Durden Sat, 07/04/2020 – 17:00
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson via National Review,

Stoke chaos, obstruct economic recovery, and hide Biden in the basement till Election Day… Joe Biden is tragically suffering a mental eclipse and sliding away at a geometric rate.

*** begin quote ***

The progressive media have put Biden’s blank stares and word searching off limits. We are not supposed to remember that Trump was hounded by progressive M.D.s, to the point that he took — and aced — the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test, an examination that no one in his right mind would suggest Biden now take, given that the results would be no surprise.

Seems like an important question to answer NOW!

This is inexcusable in the USA.

The Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats are incapable of protecting peaceful people at prayer.

I think he is correct about that!

That doesn’t make me “fan”.

But in the upcoming election — barring some “October Surprise”, I don’t see how anyone can NOT pick the lesser of two evils.

Sigh.

How about ranked choice voting?

While I’m wishing: term limits for politicians and bureaucrats!

Argh!

“We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We’re going to live on!
We’re going to survive!”

How Students Built a 16th-Century Engineer’s Book-Reading Machine – Atlas Obscura

Friday, July 3, 2020

“Some scholars say it’s the beginning of the idea of hypertext, the idea that a reader can sit in one spot and have access to multiple texts at once.” (That concept is all too familiar today, in the age of hyperlinks, search engines, and browser tabs.)

FUN: Entitled “Karen” Mistakes Customer For An Employee, He Makes The Situation Hilarious For Himself

Thursday, July 2, 2020

Ever been mistaken for an employee? If you have, it’s fine, everyone has. If you haven’t, it’s okay—nobody likes to accept it. But there’s a safe space to talk about hard things and it’s a subreddit called r/IDontWorkHereLady . It turns out, people assuming you’re a staff member is a thing.

TINFOILHAT: Where did the bricks come from?

Thursday, July 2, 2020

Those mysterious pallets of bricks appearing at riot central in every Democrat controlled city in America didn’t deliver themselves. Whatever peaceful intent some protestors may have had was hijacked by centrally coordinated organizations hell bent on destroying the moral and ethical foundations of our country.

TINFOILHAT: But “conspiracy theories” are NOT always misinformation, remember who coined the term

Wednesday, July 1, 2020

*** begin quote ***

It’s no secret that platforms like YouTube and Reddit have long been breeding grounds for conspiracy theories and misinformation. Whether intentional or not, algorithms have led millions of ordinary people down the rabbit hole into these communities.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but “Conspiracy Theories” are not alway from the tin foil hat brigade.

Some times, most time, they are legitimate questions!
