It would be a good time for a sham Trump indictment this week.

The Hunter circus is heating up...bigly!

MeTV and MeTV-plus both show Looney Tunes and other cartoons. Three hours on the latter on Sunday night.

Even when you know exactly what is going to happen - like Foghorn Leghorn looking both ways in order to cross a road and sees that it is totally empty, and then he steps into the road.... - it is still laugh out loud hilarious.

A rather racy Betty Boop is on now.

For the record, it wasn't pro-lifers who did illegal dangerous abortions before Roe.

It was the people who, after Roe, simply opened up an office publicly. It was the pro-abortionists who did it. And that's today's pro-abortionists' argument - that legalized abortion was necessary because their own people butchered women and babies alike.

I finished watching the French cop show Spiral (Engrenages). It's very good. It lags a bit in one of the later seasons with a complicated money laundering plot that I didn't understand, but the last season was more satisfying than it is with many series. Other good French shows are The Bureau, a spy story which suffers in the final season after the hero has betrayed everyone he ever worked for, knew, or loved, and A French Village, a story of resistance and collaboration under the German occupation that holds up well (History helps when you're trying to work out plots for movies).

I tried to watch Moonfall. It was awful. A critic said it better than I could: "There’s nothing worthwhile here; the landscape of wretched banality offers only wasted time and a sense of despair."

The 4chan hack and leak of the Hunter Biden IPhone trending on Twitter tonight is crazy.

The push back against MSM cover up and lies is mind boggling when it hits. The FBI has had this stuff for years. Hunter is one messed up dude. Filmed everything. Funniest video is Hunter arguing with a hooker about how much crack is sitting on the scale. They guy is a big fan of his own penis too.

Twitter can’t censor it fast enough.

Narr said...

Wait, Hunter Biden did something stupid, crude, and/or illegal? It's more than my poor mind can handle right now, so good night y'all.

"Funniest video is Hunter arguing with a hooker about how much crack is sitting on the scale."

He can't even get the number right. It's 20.7, not 2.07.

Congratulations to Novak Djokovic for winning Wimbledon today. Beat an Aussie too which makes it sweeter since they pulled all that vax bs and detained him in Australia and banned him from The Australian Open. He’s banned from competing in the US Open because he refuses to be an experimental rat and take the ‘mRNA shot. Weird the English let him play. Thought we were all medical fascists now.

Freedom is more important to him. He’s a hero. Tells the totalitarians to shove the “vaccine” up their asses instead of in his, and still wins Wimbledon with that extra weight on his shoulders. Homeric.

Heavenly Father.. Please let ’unvaxxed’ Aaron Rodgers win the Super Bowl with the Packers again. Give us another champion for freedom and individualism...and also Lord, forgive me, I know I should want this for the glory of all Wisconsin, but really I know it will drive everyone in Madison, WI crazy. That would be part of the fun. Amen.

"Winter Is Coming"

For those of us in Arizona, it can't come soon enough. We live for the end of summer. One cannot go bicycling when it's 90 degrees before dawn.

I'm adding "Like A Rolling Stone" to my guitar repertoire, and reviewing old videos of the the same.

I'm looking at Dylan in 1965 at the Newport Folk Festival. Dylan's microphone stand has a microphone for voice, and another microphone to capture the music from the sound hole of an acoustic guitar.

Dylan showed up with a Stratocaster.

In case anyone missed it, in early April, at the height of the wind season amidst a record drought, the US Forest Service managed to allow a prescribed burn turn into the largest wildfire in New Mexico's history, so far destroying over 340,000 acres, countless homes and ranches, cultural and historical sites and small communities. (Calf Canyon/Hermit's Peak fire.) To show how committed and serious the Forest Service is to demonstrate responsibility and accountability regarding the individuals responsible for the decision to go ahead with the burn, the Santa Fe National Forest Supervisor who signed off on the fire is getting a temporary promotion and a six month tour of duty at the Washington Office. She is on track to become a Senior Executive in the Forest Service. We can't let a little mistake on her watch affect her rising star, can we?

Washington Examiner

Trump endorses strange Arizona man over MAGA star

'...On the other side: a callow 35-year-old who repeatedly cites the Unabomber’s manifesto as a source of wisdom, approvingly cited what he called a “poignant quotation” from Herman Goering (Adolf Hitler’s chosen second in command), and whose campaign is largely dependent on $10 million in support from his employer, the socially liberal billionaire Peter Thiel.

Naturally, former President Donald Trump is supporting the latter guy, the extraordinarily strange Blake Masters, for the Republican Senate nomination in Arizona against the former, the highly accomplished Mark Brnovich, even though hard-line conservative heroes Mark Levin and Sean Hannity are for Brnovich. It’s almost as if Trump is trying to make Republicans lose an eminently winnable race against short-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly. Just as Trump did in causing Republicans to lose two Senate runoffs in Georgia in early 2021, his agenda in Arizona seems more motivated by personal emotional gratification than by his adopted party’s best interests.'

'...Masters, on the other hand, is so close to the eccentric Californian Thiel that conservative outlets find it highly worrisome and liberal outlets raise, with some justification, numerous ethical questions that surely will hurt Masters in the fall campaign if he is the nominee. Yet amid all his history of associating with or being strongly supported by noted anti-Semites, the biggest sign of his outright weirdness is Masters’s embrace of the manifesto of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.

This appeared not just in some long-past musings, but at least twice since announcing his candidacy. Masters has praised major parts of the manifesto, saying that “everybody should read” it and that Kaczynski is “a subversive thinker who is underrated”'

From this one could easily label Trump as a RINO...because he doesn't have the Republican Party's interest foremost in mind, but his own personal glorification.

Or, reputedly his wife's interest in Dr.Oz getting his endorsement for the Pennsylvania Republican party's Senate nomination instead of David McCormick:

Senate: Pennsylvania Primary Results (R) Fri June 3, 2022
Dave McCormick announced at a June 3 campaign event that he had conceded Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate primary to Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity heart surgeon endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

Oz 31.2% 419,999 McCormick 31.1% 419,048 Barnette 24.7% 331,864

"Dr. Oz supported health insurance mandates and promoted Obamacare before Senate run"

J.D. Vance has all but disappeared here in Ohio. Perhaps he's holding his fire for some reason. The Dem Tim Ryan is everywhere with ads. He's also running a populist campaign. He boasts about agreeing with Trump on trade, and paints Vance as anti-free trade and anti-law enforcement. He (Ryan) even treats China as an adversary, stealing jobs, and then links Vance to the outsourcing. I'm concerned that Vance will lose if he doesn't step up his game quickly.

Never heard of "Rage Against The Machine" but those nutcases need to consider that they got everything completely wrong about abortion.

Consider:

“Forced birth in a country where Black birth-givers experience maternal mortality two to three times higher than that of white birth-givers.”

“Forced birth in a country where gun violence is the number one cause of death among children and teenagers.”

“ABORT THE SUPREME COURT.”

So-called "forced birth" avoids 100% mortality in every case of medical abortion of unborn babies.

Abortion, not gun violence, is the number one cause of death among children.

“ABORT THE SUPREME COURT” means murder the Supreme Court justices just as aborting babies is most certainly first-degree murder.

They hacked his iCloud using a 'cracker' to find his password" Juiliais26! -Better than Julia is 14!- That's different than him signing over his computer complete with PW and then abandoning it. Still it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. The fact that he called is dad Pedo Pete is priceless

Biden had used the pseudonym "Peter Henderson" – a fictional Soviet Union-era spy in several Tom Clancy novels who infiltrated the US government,

The fact that Biden is stuck in this kind of Cold War mentality, which has led to this war, IMHO, is worse by far, due to the human cost, than the fact that he is more likely than not a pedophile.

The farmer protest in The Netherlands is spreading. German farmers are now joining in solidarity along with farmers in Poland. Here

I’ve been watching the farmer uprising.
It’s way more than dumping milk. I kind of think the way the US is going- the government will own us all. Farmers, I mean.

I’m an us w/them.
Not a we.

Between Bill Gates and China- US land cannot remain affordable for the average Joe Farmer. And there are so, so many new rules, regulations &control hoops to jump through that those of us who just want to do our jobs are hindered &hobbled in management &knowledge.

Good thing so many are flooding up through the border.
Who needs a sustainable birth rate when replacement is more desirable?

Kai Akker said...

Did I miss any discussion on Althouse of the Wisconsin Supreme Court's ruling agreeing with the Trump campaign's claim that the untended boxes for mail-in and "absentee" voting were illegal?

Over 200,000 of such votes cited in Trump's lawsuit. Don't know if that was the full tally of such votes; but that lawsuit lost because Trump's Big Lie and all his other Debunked Claims are so obviously wrong. Whatever got into the crazy state Supreme Court to agree with him?

Let's see: over 200,000 such ballots illegally collected in a state the Democratic ticket won by 20,600 votes.

In regards to our lovely sunrise series:
I always feel like I have amnesia a la 50 First Dates &exclaim at the beauty of this sunrise- the most beautiful I’ve ever seen- totally forgetting I said the same of the day’s before. And the one before &before that…

I guess it’s a perspective thing. A centering. Like the horizon :0)

Humperdink said...

At 7AM I tuned into to Fox News and they had their usual banter going so I immediately switched to MSNBC - it was Trump. Went quickly to CNN - it was Trump.

This nation has many issues on the fore burner, Trump it not one of them.

Kai Akker said...

Yes, I did miss the Althouse post from Friday and its 130 comments. Oops. Well, now there is one more mention of it.

Andrew said...

Am I the only one who is actually starting to feel some sympathy for Hunter? What a sad, pathetic life. He's an empty shell of a man - no morals, no boundaries, no direction. His father bears at least some responsibility for it. It's not wrong to mock Hunter's decadence or corruption, or the media double standard (if this were Trump Jr....). But I'm actually starting to feel bad for the little guy. Like a celebrity going off the rails, you can't stop watching, but still wish the person would get help.

gadfly. You do know how babies are made don't you? Counsel your girl children to keep their legs closed and your boy children to keep their equipment in their pants. You leftist morons act like pregnancy just happens.

Beasts of England said...

’But I'm actually starting to feel bad for the little guy.’

There are photos and videos - of his own manufacture - showing him having sex with underage girls, including his own niece. He’s a monster.

Lurker21 said...

Sure, it's tough for a middle kid, and Hunter was the one who got the fractured skull and severe traumatic brain injuries from the accident. In one of the photos in the NY Post article, Hunter is the sullen, withdrawn one, but really, all this guy's selfies and emails show that whatever his problems, Hunter really is an arrogant asshole.

Andrew said...

@Beasts,
I actually didn't realize that. You're right.

But even monsters have souls to save.

@wendybar,
If that's true, hang the bastard. I retract my sympathy.

Of course, (changing the subject) I feel that way about all the frequenters of Epstein island. Can't recall their names.

One of my favorite television series; I think I was watching on Netflix years ago and made it through however many seasons they had available. But then when I found the succeeding season or seasons, I tried watching and, eh, as you say the plot was incomprehensible. But maybe I'll give it another try. Am saving A French Village for the rainy season.
