No, that's yesterday's sunset. Photographed by Meade out in the middle of the frozen lake. Here's this morning's sunrise:

Not so glorious. But we were there, and the photograph commemorates that tiny event.

I bet Starmer cares about his 10% approval rating now. For a long while he acted as if he didn’t give a fig what the British people thought of him, he was going to do what he was told by his masters in Davos, well it looks like Epstein might be the thing that brings him down.

One of Inga, Kak, Ronald, etc.'s finest... one of the illegals that they love rioting for, just killed 4 Americans by running over them in a Semi trailer that Democrats gave him a license to drive after Joe Biden let him in in 2024, right before Trump took office.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that driver Bekzhan Beishekeev is a Kyrgyzstani national who entered the U.S. via the Biden-era CBP One cell phone app on Dec. 19, 2024, at the Nogales, Ariz., port of entry, and he was released into the U.S. via parole by the Biden administration.

I expect Kak to scream we are all racist for demanding to know why he was let in in the first place and why Democrats in Pennsylvania gave him a CDL in the second place. Or maybe Inga will tell us how blessed we are, especially Henry Eicher, 50, Menno Eicher, 25, Paul Eicher, 19, and Simon Girod, 23 of Bryant, Ind., who got to be killed by this guy.

In northern Arizona it's in the low 70s and sunny. I'm not bragging because I absolutely hate it. All the midwesterners visiting are delighted by the weather, but all the natives I know are disgusted by the warm weather because it is a harbinger of the months of heat we have coming soon. My roses are still blooming. When am I supposed to prune them back if they never stop growing?

Still enjoying my vicarious NYC vacation. They’re really having a blast and have hit some tourist spots and some lesser travelled, so that’s hip. Still snow on the ground in Central Park. And I strongly dislike those two (kinda new) extremely tall and thin skyscrapers. As a famous New Yorker might say: Sad!!

They’re sending me menus, wine lists, and food pics from every meal. So far, we’re all very surprised at how nominal the prices are, considering the locale. We, in some combination, frequently drink and/or dine at an excellent spot at the lake and I’m not seeing any difference at all in the pricing…

Thanks Meade, I was genuinely asking. I've always pruned them when they looked dead, and that's not going to happen this year I'm afraid.

Fulton County Georgia recorded over 25,000 more absentee votes than voters.

No honest person with an IQ over 80 thinks more people in Georgia voted for Biden than Trump.

Eva Marie said...

If we get voter ID and paper ballots, I suppose that will be a good trade off, but really people should be going to jail for voter fraud.

Negron had a great voice and it’s a good thing he conquered his drug habits many years ago and lived a sober life for a few decades before passing away.

January layoffs rose to the highest level for the month since 2009 ~ Fox News

"Numerous new data points to further weakness in labor market"

Trump says it’s a Golden Age for America, but for ordinary people who don’t own oil wells or AI startups it’s as bad as during the 2009 crisis.

America's Golden Age is unfortunately confined to the Oval Office these days.

Original Mike said...

@Achilles - the Comprehensive Overview certainly is damning.

Kakistocracy said...

Achilles mews: "No honest person with an IQ over 80 thinks more people in Georgia voted for Biden than Trump."

The link you provide (like so-many others) is not an official government investigation report from authorities like the Georgia Secretary of State, FBI, or courts. It's an independent, privately produced compilation of allegations against Fulton County's handling of the 2020 general election.

The report's core allegations of widespread fraud or outcome--changing irregularities in Fulton County's 2020 election are not supported by official investigations. Multiple independent audits, recounts, state investigations, and court reviews (including by Republican officials) have consistently confirmed:

Joe Biden won Georgia (and Fulton County contributed to that) by narrow but verifiable margins.

Three separate counts (initial tabulation, hand recount/risk-limiting audit, machine recount) produced nearly identical results.

No evidence of widespread fraud, ballot stuffing, or manipulation that affected the outcome.

The Four Fundamental Principles of Trumpism: (aka Achilles MO)
1. Always accuse someone else of whatever you are doing or planning to do.
2. In any debate, never engage with issues or acknowledge facts. Just attack people.
3. Regardless of the outcome of any situation, declare victory. If the outcome is unfavorable, declare victory and claim to have been cheated.
4. Lie freely. There is no such thing a a fact or a truth.

"List them."

Mason G said...

If leftards are convinced there was no voting fraud, why would they care if anyone investigated?

gadfly said...

The voter turnout percentage in Fulton County during the 2020 election was 66.2%. Total registered voters in the county on 11-9-2020 ahead of the Senate runoffs was 818, 511. What would we do without AI on Google?

AskTrump. But I would guess to drive voters away from the ballot boxes so the records can be confiscated by Nazis wearing masks.

Michael McNeil said...

AskTrump

Ha ha. The answer, of course, is because he (and many other people) think there's illegal voting—by “illegals”—going on.

’Indeed, previous post with comments on immigration and murder got 200+ comments in them.’

And I noticed of the hundreds of virtue signaling comments by our lefties, re: the two morons in Minnesota, there hasn’t been a peep from them about more than a dozen innocent people who froze to death in Mandami’s New York during the recent cold snap. I guess death is only an outrage when Trump can be tangentially blamed.

ACA reportedly will lower healthcare insurance costs for all Americans and if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. Trump reportedly was backed by Russia in the 2016 election. Covid reportedly was passed from pangolin to humans in a Chinese wet market. Covid vaccinations reportedly protect people from getting Covid. BLM protests were reportedly peaceful. J6 protests were reported as killing officers with blunt force trauma. Biden was reported to be of sound mind.

But most importantly, former WaPo employees reported that climate change would be catastrophic.

Youre welcome

boatbuilder said...

Narciso--Wow!
esc's style is a little difficult to follow--but his premise would explain and account for an awful lot. The development of what is essentially a super-government operating independently of state government or international government control. With it's own currency. Using "charity" as the cover vehicle.

The moral authority of the Sustainable Development Goals is the system’s most important asset. Seventeen goals that no decent person can oppose: end poverty, clean water, gender equality, climate action. The emails show that the people positioning themselves behind this moral authority are not who the brochure describes.

This does not necessarily discredit the goals. It raises the question of whether the architecture built in their name serves the goals — or serves the network that operates the architecture. The architecture does not require its builders to understand the full assembly.


Fascinating. I'm going to have to make myself a brand new tinfoil hat. Benz' view of Epstein as a fixer for international deals and money launderer for intelligence agencies seems rather quaint in comparison.
