ANALYSIS: TRUE. Trump’s Pardon of Susan B. Anthony: A Deft Political Move.
FROM ELLIE FERGUSON: Rogue’s Magic.
Trouble comes to Mossy Creek.
Jaqueline “Jax” Powell left town after high school, wanting to put as many miles between small town Texas and herself as possible. Mossy Creek, however, isn’t your normal small town and once it gets its hooks in you, you never really escape. It has already brought home two of its wayward children. Will Jax be the third?
When her best friend and “sister from another mister”, Annie Caldwell, is attacked and left for dead, Jax wastes no time in returning home. But is Mossy Creek ready for her return? Before long, everyone will remember why she’d been called “the rogue” growing up. An Earth Elemental, she will join with Wind and Fire to protect those they love.
As storm clouds gather over the small town, danger grows. Jax will have to use all her gifts as an Other to keep her friends safe.
But will it be enough?
ANALYSIS: TRUE. A Baseball Bat Carried By Antifa Mobs Is A Lethal Weapon.
NAH. THEY DON’T THINK THAT BURNING THEIR OWN CITIES WILL TURN PEOPLE AGAINST ORANGEMANBAD. THEY ALSO DON’T THINK THAT COOKED POLLS WILL GET US TO VOTE FOR THE ZOMBIE AND THE SCOLD. THEY ONLY HOPE THAT ALL THIS STUFF WILL MAKE PLAUSIBLE THE VICTORY THEIR UNIMAGINABLE (TILL NOW) LEVELS OF FRAUD WILL SECURE THEM IN NOVEMBER:“The Blind Leading the Cripples” .
And I wish I were sure they’re wrong.
In November, get out and vote for orange man bad, even if you have to hold your nose. Letting the other side win, in this case, is the political equivalent of slitting the country’s veins in a warm bath.
ABOVE ALL, THEY ARE ANTI-AMERICAN: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Are Anti-Woman.
SHE USED TO BE KNOWN AS THE READING MASOCHIST (COME ON! SHE READ MICHELLE OBAMA!) ON MY BLOG, AND I SOMETIMES LINK HER POSTS AT VICTORY GIRLS. WELL, SHE’S HAVING A: Release Day!
(That means she’s putting a book out, not that she’s had about enough of all the lockdown cr*p. Though I’m sure that’s true too!)
I LOOK FORWARD TO THE SIDE-BY-SIDE PRESENTATIONS OF THIS AND BILL’S CONVENTION SPEECH TONIGHT… OH WAIT – THEY ONLY DO THAT WITH REPUBLICANS? New photos show Bill Clinton getting massage from Epstein accuser.
THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE: Chicago looters were college students, convicted felons, unemployed parents.
IN FAIRNESS, THAT’S NOT ALL THAT HIGH A BAR TO CLEAR: Clammed up: Trump takes 700% more questions than Biden in one month.
CORRUPTION? IN ILLINOIS? HOW COULD ANYONE TELL? Pritzker moves to vacate anti-patronage decree as federal corruption inquiry looms.
THE LIBERAL ANTI-POLICE CAMPAIGN IS WORKING AS WELL AS MOST OF THEIR SCHEMES: Most say ‘protests’ have become ‘riots,’ new high in support for police.
AND SHE THINKS THAT’S A GOOD THING: NY Times editorial member: Biden’s platform is ‘far more liberal’ than Obama’s.
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE SAME ALARMISTS WHO DESTROYED ECONOMIES DUE TO HALF-BAKED COMPUTER MODELS: Greenland ice sheet has reached ‘point of no return’.
BAD SCIENCE DESTROYS ECONOMIES, LIVELIHOODS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES: Let me tell you a story. It’s about six passenger flights from Wuhan that led to an unprecedented global disaster.
AND that model was considerably saner than the one Colorado’s Paste Eating Polis STILL believes.
WE HAVE A PROBLEM: Iowa State English Professor To Class: If You Don’t Support BLM, Abortion, Etc., I’m Tossing You Out.
She’s not alone.
DESPITE THE EVER MORE HYSTERICAL MASK MANDATES: COVID19 mini-update, August 18, 2020: good news about lasting immunity in humans.
FIVE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT NIGHT TWO OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Taking one for the team, Tyler O’Neil watched the Democrats’ convention so you didn’t have to.

BELIEVE IN SCIENCE: FDA warns of false results with widely used coronavirus test. “Dr. Albert Ko of Yale’s School of Public Health said the potential accuracy problems have ‘pretty serious implications’ given that Thermo Fisher’s test is used widely both in the U.S. and around the world to screen for coronavirus.”
FORMER BROWARD SHERIFF SCOTT ISRAEL, WHOSE FECKLESS FAILURE LED TO MANY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ DEATHS, DEFEATED IN PRIMARY. Good. That’s the very least he should suffer.
MICHAEL ANTON: THE CASE FOR TRUMP.
Yes, President Trump enjoys the overwhelming loyalty of Republican voters—but his hold on Republican donors, and especially officials, is much more tenuous. He ran against them and won—and most of them will never forgive him. They play nice to his face and undermine him behind his back. That’s before we even get to the ones in open rebellion. No president—Democrat or Republican—has ever come to power facing organized efforts by his own party’s middle management to tally lists of people declaring on the record that under no circumstances will they work for the incoming administration. It’s been hard, to say the least, to staff up when a good chunk of the party is dead-set against their leader, and nearly all the rest spent their careers furthering policies diametrically opposed to those he ran—and won—on.
And that’s just President Trump’s ostensible own side. Then factor in all his open enemies from the other party, and virtually every other power center in our society, plus the steadfast opposition of the so-called “deep state”—i.e., the very federal bureaucrats whom he was elected to oversee and direct. Viewed from this angle, one may fairly wonder how it’s been possible for him to accomplish anything at all.
More fundamentally: where do you think the country would be without him?
In the crapper.
OPEN THREAD: More dope than heroin. Sharper than a needle.
ELON MUSK HAS A PLAN FOR THAT: Entire cities could fit inside the moon’s monstrous lava tubes.
