FROM CELIA HAYES AND JEANNE HAYDEN: Luna City: Number 9, Number 9 Number 9.
Welcome to Luna City, Karnes County, Texas … Population 2,457, give or take! Fugitive former celebrity chef Richard Astor-Hall faces a new challenge in this new Luna City chapter; celebrating Christmas with Kate Heisel’s extended family, while Jess and Joe Vaughn cope with a pending addition to their family, Xavier Gunnison-Penn the world’s most unsuccessful professional treasure-hunter finally finds a treasure and true love … and Miss Letty McAllister, the oldest inhabitant of Luna City reveals what happened half a century before, when bootlegger and former bandit, Charley Mills was nearly lynched by outraged citizens from the biggest oak tree in Town Square. More folklore, home folks and gentle comedy abound in this ninth outing to the most perfect small town in Texas.

ALIENS. I’VE HAD MY MARK ON ALIENS. I NEED TO DO A POST FOR PJM: What Next in 2020?
DOES THIS DISCRIMINATE AGAINST INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT CERVIXES? More companies are adopting paid menstrual leave policies.
THEY ARE AS LEGAL AS PROTESTORS ARE PEACEFUL. AND GOOD FOR THEM: Out-of-work bartenders now mixing up illegal cocktails in NYC parks.
GOVERNORS CUOMO & MURPHY PROTEST: NOBODY TOLD US THERE WOULD BE A TEST! COVID-19 death rates reveal NY and NJ are states that failed the test.
And Fauci should be laughed out of town for claiming NYC did it right!
WHILE OUR SUPPOSED LIBERALS MANDATE COVID COSPLAY EVEN AS DEATHS FALL ALL OVER THE WORLD, THEIR FRIENDS IN CHINA TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DESTROY HONG KONG LIBERTY: The ordeal of Hong Kong.
Totalitarians help each other. Or as grandma used to say, one hand washes the other. In this case, in blood.
SURE, I’D TRUST THAT. NOT: Brazilian state agrees to produce Russian COVID-19 vaccine.
THE MEDIA HAS NO IDEA: Change Change Change.
YES. IT’S LATE. IT WAS LATE WHEN MOST OF US WERE BORN. BUT THE RIGHT IS AWAKE AND FIGHTING BACK, WHICH IS WHY THE LEFT IS LOSING ITS MIND. ALSO, LIKE ALL LEFTIST TAKE OVERS, BY THE FOURTH GENERATION THEY’RE TOO STUPID TO POUR PISS OUT OF A BOOT WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON THE HEEL: Saving American Democracy for the Zombie Apocalypse.
Be not afraid.
FRANKLY WITH SO MUCH GAS IN THE AIR, WE SHOULD ALL BE DUCKING FROM THE COMING EXPLOSION…. BUT THE MEDIA WON’T SEE IT: Media Go All In On Gaslighting For Harris.
AND THIS COULD BE ONE OF THE REASONS: Ronald McDonald House Attacked By Looting Thugs.
AT SOME POINT PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH: Englewood Neighborhood Kicks Out Black Lives Matter.

HEY 19(45). The Inevitable Hitler Hates New Steely Dan Video:
OUCH: Sanders’ former press secretary: Let’s face it, the Harris pick is a disaster for progressives. “Just what exactly do progressives — especially those with antipathy to law enforcement — get from a Joe Biden/Kamala Harris ticket? The media has spent much of the past thirty hours celebrating this union rather than analyzing it, but not everyone’s tossing confetti. . . . These are not new concerns; last year, back when the New York Times felt more comfortable in drilling into Harris’ record, it laid out the issues in more detail.”
The best thing about a contested primary is that it’s basically the only time the press will report anything negative about leading Democrats.
Remember when @TulsiGabbard reminded Kamala Harris of her terrible record of locking up thousands of young minorities, of being an overzealous drug warrior and of her record as a harsh prosecutor?
I do. https://t.co/xhLfBqxGGs

Flashback: While Democrats get crazier, Tulsi Gabbard hits Kamala Harris criticism right on the nose.
As Gabbard pointed out, then California attorney general, Harris was responsible for putting “over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.”
Harris’ office also blocked DNA evidence that could have freed a man who may be innocent. And what’s more, as Gabbard said, “She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California. And she fought to keep (the) cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.”

UPDATE: A friend on Facebook comments: “As my conservative friends relish the ‘unwinnable Biden/Harris ticket,’ I’m reminded of when my liberal friends were celebrating the ‘unwinnable Trump/Pence ticket.’ The American voter can be (and usually is) a fairly contrary critter. Taking them for granted is a quick way to get a November wakeup call.”
Yep. And they’ll have that famous five-to-fifteen point media wind at their back. Don’t get cocky, kids. Get out and work for it if you want to win.
THE MORE WE LEARN, THE SOONER THE ASTEROID MINING CAN START: Japan may extend Hayabusa2 asteroid mission to visit 2nd space rock.
SO I FINISHED SENDING OUT THE THANK-YOU NOTES to folks who donated via PayPal. If I somehow missed anyone, know that I appreciated it.
IS THE NEW YORK TIMES A LIBERAL NEWSPAPER? OF COURSE IT IS: New York Times, AP, and others dub ultra-liberal Kamala Harris a ‘moderate’ and ‘centrist.’
