Deaths usually come in eights or fourteens. The latest is Jaye P. Morgan. She had a reputable career as a mainstream vocalist in the fifties and went on to be a fixture on Hollywood Squares and the Gong Show. I think she was either gay or a gay icon, but nobody's saying.

She and Donald Trump were both in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," but I don't think the flag will be flying at half-mast for her.

You may recall my ongoing legal troubles resulting from taking law enforcement action in the DC Metro two years ago. Well today I was the victim of an assault (really a battery, but DC gloms them both in one statute) in the Metro. I was riding the escalator from one platform to another when some wanker trying not to miss his train ran down the left side, holding an electric scooter, whose handlebar hit me in the back of the head.

I did what they wanted me to do back in 2024 and called the transit police.They responded quickly and did similar to what they did in my case, pulling the video to track the offender to his last stop, where they were able to interview him. They would not tell me much about him or the interview, but he apparently admitted to the actions but not any intent to hit me. So they are not taking the case any further.

What really smarts is that back in 2024, my affirmative defenses included apprehension of immediate harmful or offensive contact from the subway dancers’ erratic motions. And what happened today? I was harmfully and offensively contacted by Escalator Scooter Wanker’s erratic motion down the escalator with his handlebars wagging.

I am consulting with my attorneys to see what sort of hay can be made.

But I should not be surprised. “don’t defend yourself - call the police “ is often folllowed by “sorry, the police can’t do anything.” CC, JSM

Traditional news coverage has returned. The overseas formula is X deaths including Y Americans, and the domestic formula is X deaths including Y children.

" Over 40 Americans are among the hundreds dead or missing."

and on a British youtube channel a mixed genre 30 Brits including a 13 year old girl.

I hope for the return of bus plunge stories.

Interesting Civil War story of an infantry company from Alabama that defended the Mississippi River. In 1862 their position was overrun by Union troops, and their company flag
was captured. In 1917, survivors learned that their company flag was kept in a museum in Madison Wisconsin. After negotiating for four years, the flag was returned to the Alabama boys in 1921, 59 years after it was taken.

I live very close to the Canadian border, before Trump started running his mouth about the 51st state, it was hard to get a table in most restaurants around here. Now it’s never a worry. Conservatives were looking like they were going to win, and Alberta and Saskatchewan were looking at secession, and to join the US. Now, they are united against us, liberal and conservative. It’s like when we double tapped that girls school killing 150 children in the first hour of the war, a planned target that was put on a list long before the war started, united the Iranians.

The 2016 Trump is gone. They should replace Hail to the Chief with the curb your enthusiasm theme every time this new Trump walks up to a microphone.

Lots of posts show Dolly Parton singing with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. The Trio albums would not have been made without Ronstadt’s persistence in bringing the projects together. The three discussed further collaboration, but Ronstadt’s illness ended her ability to sing.
By the way, Ronstadt has progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a rare, progressive brain disease. It’s a Parkinson’s-like “neurological illness that gradually affects balance, walking, eye movements, speech, swallowing, and sometimes cognitive function and behavior.”

Forty years ago, too, although the Dems were wrong on most things, they were not totally nuts. Now we can add to all that their support for things like men in women’s sports, locker rooms, and showers, drag queen story hour for kindergarteners, gay porn in elementary schools, chopping off kids’ genitals, abolish the police, erase the borders, pack the Supreme Court, kill domestic energy production, suppress conservative speech by colluding with social media companies and establishing a Ministry of Truth, mask young children which has no health benefit at all and leads to anxiety and mental health issues, impose vaccine mandates directly contrary to “my body my choice,” assassinate conservative commenters, late-term abortion and even infanticide, supporting terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah, assault Jews on college campuses trying to get to class, racism in the form of CRT, cultural Marxism, convert late-night comedy into angry partisan diatribes, assassinate the candidate for President from the opposing party, assassinate that same person after he becomes president, assassinate health care executives . . . and now with DSA we can add: support socialism, abolish the Senate, abolish the Presidency, and abolish prisons, and “from the river to the sea” (i.e., genocide the Jews). Any Dem who time traveled from 1960 to now would think their party’s current positions on such matters was a joke. But, alas, it is not a joke. They mean it.

There would be many fewer Americans with those exotic Muslim names if we stopped creating millions of refugees by bombing their homes because they were born on top of oil.

If the Republicans are now the party that puts a foreign country’s wars over that of the USA, and requires its members to adopt the hatreds that foreign country indulges, include me out.

If you don’t believe that I was a Republican, look at any of my old comments, from the Gulf War to Jan 6 to the 2024 election when I was so happy that Trump was elected, but the Trump I voted for, I didn’t think was a tool of Israel. Had he stuck to his domestic agenda, he could have been a great president, but instead it’s “Don’t we all hate Muslims?” And “When Bibi says jump, the only question for Americans is “How high, sir?”

rehajm বলেছেন...

…you’re really warped Tim…

Jaq বলেছেন...

This whole “commies” trope is a way to get voters to forget that Republicans put a country with free healthcare and free higher education over the US, to the point where Trump has publicly mused about taking Federal Medicare money and using it for the military, why do we need such a huge military? How else are we going to fight Israel’s wars?

Never was a big fan of Dolly Parton but the more I read about her the impressed I’ve become.

She was born and raised in a one bedroom cabin with her ten siblings in the backwoods of Tennessee. And then become a multimillionaire. If it wasn’t for the Head Start program, food stamps, Medicaid, LBJ’s Great Society program, DEI, and Section 8 housing she would have never made it.

I have higher concerns about how my fellow Christians are treated here. Then there’s the many countries where Christians have been driven out or killed en mass. Very recently again in Africa. Usually by rampaging Mohammedons.

But I do well understand that many people are obsessed with the one Western style democracy in the MENA region for reasons beyond comprehension and will drag that US ally into any conversation to assert their bonafides as true blue jooo haters.

It’s a goddamned tiresome habit. But people who’s main nutrition is chewing their own bile-filled hatred can’t get enough hate in their diet.

Philly DA Larry Krasner is threatening to blow up the White House ballroom, literally. He’s not joking. He wants a piece of the ballroom on his desk as a paper weight. The Commie left and violence are synonymous. They continue to push the envelope. This rhetoric is not helpful.

If anyone is wondering why the trade deal with Canada fell apart, look no further than Canada’s embracing a far eastern country. It’s spelled C-H-I-N-A. Carney is all in.

Mike (MJB Wolf) বলেছেন...

Like Comey said and Krasner clearly illustrates the unique quality of stochastic terrorism is the permission structure it creates for excavating violence. So Progressives [who are in actuality anti-progress in many ways] keep talking about blowing up Executive Branch buildings, keep posting 8647 memes and selling the merch with it, keep encouraging jihadi-adjacent candidates like Mohammed El-Sayed to say the quiet part out loud, keep (somehow) getting schedules of USSS protectees into the hands of would-be assassins, keep leaking security protocols and publicizing aberrations like the AF1 switch.

Progressives used to blatantly lie about how there was “no room for hate” on their side. They insisted Trump unique among Men was a hater, and only he was guilty. Now they are organizing their entire existence around hatred of Trump (with futile but ongoing efforts to make “MAGA” as hated as Trump) and glorying in their favorite emotion. They have joined with literal Nazi sympathizers and Muslim Brotherhood candidates to marginalize Jews using “antizionistics” as a fig leaf, but really no support for Israel is necessary to attract the wrath of the mob. Just look how they (including raging Cajun) went after Hakeem Jeffries for speaking to Gerald Kushner.

Stochastic terrorism is the Deep State’s favorite weapon because only the crazies activated to take action leave fingerprints while the Comeys Pelosis Harrises Krasners Clintons Walzes etc skate above it all.

Well maybe not super lawman Comey. He fucked up.

This just in:

“The new study from researchers at Rutgers University, the right-leaning Manhattan Institute and Network Contagion Research Institute found that those normalizing transgender beliefs were more likely to be supportive of political violence.

Respondents were quizzed about six potential targets of political violence for the study: “killing Charlie Kirk, killing Donald Trump, killing Brian Thompson, arson of ICE buildings, damaging wealthy people’s property, and violence against police.”

“These findings suggest that gender ideology is associated with LWA [left-wing authoritarianism] and willingness to justify political violence,” stated the study, which titled “Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology?”

“Experimental research is needed to determine causality,” according to the researchers.”

A State Department memo reveals that an international technology collective, now under a U.S. global terrorism designation, provided services to overseas terrorist groups and violent far-left agitators causing chaos in American cities, according to a copy obtained by Fox News Digital.

“Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Today, the United States sanctioned Autistici/Inventati – a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world.”

Autistici/Inventati, called the A/I Collective by the State Department, is an Italy-based group that builds highly sophisticated digital infrastructure used by violent left-wing organizations in the United States and Europe, along with Islamic terrorists, according to the State Department. The collective’s services include encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming and anonymity shields, according to the memo."

I finally gave up my battle with autocorrect and have stopped trying to reference misspelled “excavation” above and substitute my chosen word “escalation.” My phone has become rather unpredictable in guessing at the word I am trying to spell and often misses very simple words with one letter out of place and at other times rejects a perfectly fine word to sub in wildly inappropriate words.
