SO, HERE’S THE QUESTION, SUPPOSING CHINA IMPLODES FINANCIALLY: And their play money at last is revealed to be just that. How many of these people are we going to find were puppets stuffed full of Chinese money?  AOC: Banning TikTok “Doesn’t Feel Right”.

WELL, SINCE SHE HAS NO AFRICAN ANCESTORS MORE RECENT THAN YOUR AVERAGE CAUCASIAN, PERHAPS THIS ALLOWS HER TO SAY SHE CAME FROM AFRICA?  Kamala Goes To Africa To Do More Of Nothing.

SOME OF US STOOD AGAINST THE TIDE OF MADNESS:  Pushback: One doctor’s experience gives us all a ray of hope.

I don’t know about this doctor, but for me, it was Heinlein’s words:

“What are the facts? Again and again and again – what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!”

Please remember that. It’s the only thing that keeps sanity amid mass illusion.

OF COURSE IT ISN’T INCONCEIVABLE:  Artificial intelligence ‘godfather’ on AI possibly wiping out humanity: ‘Not inconceivable’.

SF Writers have been conceiving of this since the 1921 premier of “Rossum’s Universal Robots.” I don’t remember when Martin Caidin’s The God Machine was published, but I read it as a kid in pre-history. However, being conceivable doesn’t make it logical, sane or likely.  I mean, remember humans also conceived of “perfect communism.

ON SUNDAYS, I RUN A PROMO POST, MOSTLY FOR INDIE BOOKS:  Book Promo and Vignettes by Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

There is also a fun vignette challenge. (The challenge that spawned a dozen novels.) Today it was made more fun — for them! — by my forgetting to put in the challenge word that had been sent to me.  Well…. If you think that stops my readers.  I eventually stumbled to the blog and typed it in, but really.

A FRIEND GOT A GOOD REVIEW:  Escape Orbit.

The Continuing adventures of Texas Ranger Jim Reade and his blood-brother Toby Shaw in the days of the Republic of Texas! A pair of eccentric English explorers ask for a guide into a dangerous country, seeking not a fortune … but something more! There is the mystery of a haunted house on Galveston Island to unravel, and the safety of a beneficiary to an unusual will — and more! The old wild west rides again in this continuing set of adventures from the pen of historical novelist Celia Hayes!

SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AN HONORARY MEMBER OF THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS AND SEATED PROMINENTLY IN THE HOUSE AS A REBUKE TO PELOSI’S POLICE:  Kevin McCarthy meets with mother of slain Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt.

And correction: Ashli Babbitt wasn’t a rioter. She was a demonstrator, and peaceful at that. She was a Veteran, honorably discharged. There was no excuse for her cold blooded murder, not even the murderous insanity of Grey Goose Pelosi, in her attempts to instigate an actual riot.  #JUSTICEFORASHLIBABBITT  #SAYHERNAME.
