3 sunrise photographs.

This first one is by Meade — that's me in the foreground — taken at 6:44:

This one, by me, happened at 6:51:

And this one, also by me, came at 6:54:

But you don't have to talk about the sunrise in the comments. It's an open thread.

If ever there was a perfect setup for late night comedy as Martha's Vineyard deporting all of those illegals within 48 hours after putting up all those "everyone is welcome here" signs. And yet...

serious question
there are two moms..
mom A says her 6 year old daughter Wants something (that the mom told her to get), that the mom calls "female circumcision"; where the daughter's clitoris and labia are removed.
Some call this "genital mutilation".. Those people are called US.

mom w says her 6 year old daughter Wants something (that the mom told her to get), that the mom calls "gender reassignment surgery"; where the daughter's breasts, clitoris and labia are removed.
Some call this "genital mutilation".. Those people are called Transphobes.

Now, my serious question is: What is the difference between these two moms?
(i mean, besides Mom A being Arab, and Mom w being white)

Anyone? Anyone at all?
remember;
BOTH daughters SAY, that they THINK, that they WANT this.
Both moms Think, that it's For their daughter's Own Good

What's the difference? Why (HOW?) can we as a society Still be against female circumcision?

How welcoming were Martha's Vineyard's progressives, when the opportunity to display their "All Are Welcome Here" claim was put to the test?

Is anybody surprised that the migrants were rounded up and removed?

I didn't think so.

What's appalling is the extent to which medicine is supporting it. What a great business model - double mastectomy then four yrs later breast reconstruction.

It takes about that long for the regret to set in.

Carol म्हणाले...

Seriously, the more honest detrans admit they never, ever passed as their new gender. Just some weird "third" gender.

They never fooled anyone.

The Lost City (not to be confused with The Lost City of Z[ed]) is a crummy popular movie, but it does end with one of the (apparently many) songs that sample Tom-Tom Club's Genius of Love. Now I am watching After Love, a French couple headed for divorce who go on living with each other and yelling at each other.

Tomorrow is the Smithsonian's Free Museum Day (separate from the World Free Museum Day, probably because of all the COVID hoo-hah), but there's no place around here worth going to very much that's on the list. Maybe others will have more luck elsewhere.

Watching Martha’s Vineyard (and other sanctuary cities) welcome immigrants is like watching the people of Rock Ridge welcome their new sheriff.

Carambolages, a 1963 French film, is up on youtube. Sorry no subtitles, but still worth your watching. A farce about office life and corporate climbing. The youngest executive (Jean-Claude Brialy) at a travel firm tries to skip a few rungs going up the ladder. Homicidally funny. Brialy is a great physical comic actor, and so is Louis de Funes as the big boss. The action, almost all set in a modern office building, is fast and hectic, satirically stylized, practically choreographic. Even in France this film was somewhat overlooked in the crowd of new releases when it first came out. A rediscovered gem. Carambolages on y.t.

What's the difference?

oh! oh! oh! I know!! I know!!

The difference is that both are women.

Saw shrinkflation in action yesterday. Those Newman's Own thin-crust pizzas used to be almost exactly the same size as the cardboard circle on the bottom inside the shrink wrap. Now there's about a quarter inch between the pizza and the edge of the cardboard, all the way around. And that's with the price going up as well. Pay more, get less in Brandon's world.

Buckwheathikes म्हणाले...

I wonder if Florida governor Ron DeSantis realizes that, based on the actions of Massachusetts' governor in the last 24 hours, DeSantis can:

1) Declare a humanitarian crisis in Florida

2) Activate the National Guard and round up all the illegal aliens at gunpoint

3) Bus the illegals to specialized "camps" on US military bases in Florida

As governor, you have the power to "order" the National Guard military to do this and they have to follow your orders.

Because that's exactly what Charlie Baker did in Massachusetts. And not a single Democrat objected to this.

Scott Patton म्हणाले...

Clyde's comment about the pizza and cardboard reminded me of a puzzle (having nothing to do with shrinkflation).
Suppose you tie a rope tightly around the Earth's equator. You add an extra 3 feet to the length. All around the Earth the rope is raised up uniformly as high as is possible to make it tight again. How high is that?

Humperdink म्हणाले...

The two-faced elites of Martha's Vineyard had to sent the illegals packing. If they would have found housing on the island, the door would have swung wide open for more ... and more. Got to nip this in the bud. "Hate has no home here", nor are there any homes for the illegals.

DeSantis is suddenly a lawbreaker subject to arrest for illegal transport of unregistered immigrants. I think he is a smuggler sometimes referred to as a "coyote!"

Jaq म्हणाले...

Mass is having a referendum on giving driver's licenses to illegals, aren't they? Democrats basically took over a purple state whe Billy Bulger, brother of mobster Whitey, and Mike Dukakis were running the state, by flooding it with illegals and giving them welfare benefits. Right now this is why Joe Biden has been shipping the hundreds of thousands of illegals to red states.

@Andy, hee hee.

Do you follow the news? Or do you just shoot from the lip? Biden has been flying illegals to various parts of the country under cover of darkness for quite some time now. BTW, the illegals were already in the US prior to transport by DeSantis, not smuggled into the country.

I love the moments we get a little glimpse into what exists behind the blog. You two seem to have found a sweet life together and it's amazing how it came together, both of you risking, and here it is, a beautiful vista.

Congrats and blessings onward.

Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...

What DeSantis did with migrants, sending them elsewhere, falls within the prerogatives of the elected office of Governor.

To find what DeSantis did unlawful, he would have to be impeached… good luck with that.

rehajm म्हणाले...

Boston Globes Boston.com has some civil rights lawyer talking about all the civil rights violations DeSantis committed while exploiting these immigrants. This is all in the same article with the substantial photo spread that shows the faces of many of these exploited people, including young children…

@Humperdink, Joe Biden I merely following the precepts of Dick Nixon: “It’s not illegal when the President does it.”

Aggie म्हणाले...

@gilbar, maybe the answer is that only one of these women is electing to sterilize her child, removing the option of human reproductive fulfillment for her daughter, insuring that her family line will terminate, thus making it an assertive death cult. The other is simply guaranteeing an adult life devoid of sexual gratification, but still keeping religious fulfillment potentially attainable. Both are bad, IMO, but in that light, it's easy to see which is worse, maybe even evil.

But you set the standard. You want illegal immigrants in this country. You voted for this. Why are you whining now?

True, true. Plus Mayor Lightfoot shuttled some to a suburban city. And e Mass Gov. shuttled them (involuntarily?) to a military facility.

Oddly enough I hear nothing about the civil rights violations, the human trafficking or political stunts about these actions.

Progs want illegal immigrants in this country, just not next door to where they live.

Gilbar that’s an excellent analogy. You might try writing a guest op.Ed in the NYT. Pitch it and see what happens.
