YOU SEE, THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO  MADE THIS CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING: Parents have no rights to their children! Why, the nerve.  Parents Bill of Rights Sets Democrat Hair Ablaze.

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.

YES, IT’S INFURIATING, BUT GIVEN ARAB MAINTENANCE, IT WON’T BE OPERATIONAL LONG:  Taliban Tout Equipment Left Behind In Afghanistan.

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’S IDIOTIC. IT’S CNN:  Why “digital blackface” is not a thing.

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.

THEY KEEP USING THAT WORD, TOLERANCE:  JK Rowling slams ‘mob’ after trans critic Kellie-Jay Keen Minshull is doused with tomato juice.

I don’t think it means what they think it means.

OH. NANCY PELOSI. HOLLYWOOD…  THIS EXPLAINS RATHER A LOT:  Botox alters brain activity connected to emotions: study.

UNSEALING VIDEOS MAY PUT OFFICERS AT RISK? WHAT ABOUT THE AMERICAN CITIZENS’ RIGHTS PUT AT RISK!  Prosecutor Admits DC Police Officers Acted as Provocateurs at US Capitol on Jan. 6.

If you’re afraid of the wrath of the populace, I encourage you to say orders are orders. It worked so well for your spiritual predecessors!

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.

WHY SATURDAY: It’s Memerific

I’M NOT SURE IT WORKS THAT WAY, HON; TROFIM LYSENKO UNAVAILABLE FOR CONSULTATION:  I got plastic surgery so my kids would inherit my new nose.

A FRIEND GOT A GOOD REVIEW:  Escape Orbit.

THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY I HAD BEEN TOLD TO EXPECT:  Cheap ‘smart’ bandage heals infected, chronic wounds — fast.

IF WE’RE LUCKY, YEAH:  2016 All Over Again?

I ADVISE YOU TO KEEP ANYONE YOU LOVE OUT OF ACADEMIA:  The invulnerability of today’s academic blacklist culture.

THE MILITARY IS NOT A THERAPY PROGRAM:  Military Officials: Diversity Training Makes Soldiers Feel ‘Included’.

UM…. I STILL SAY NONE OF THIS MATTERS AS LONG AS FRAUD REMAINS:  Political Pundit Mark Simone Admits Team Bush and Karl Rove are Group Behind Ron DeSantis Effort….

This entire “fight” is just the democrats making the potted plant and the ho winning seem plausible.

SHE’S RIGHT. GO READ:  Friday Thoughts: Equity, Equality and Outcomes.

THEY ARE THE MOST RACIST AND SEXIST HUMANS ALIVE:  Progressives Announce: Men Are Better Than Women!

But they hide it from themselves, and project it onto us.

LIBRARIANS HAVE BEEN HUMPING LIBERAL ACTIVISM SINCE THE LEWINSKI ADMINISTRATION:  Swimmer Riley Gaines: ‘Obnoxious’ librarians disrupted event over politics.

TRY MOVING TO CUBA, ANA – IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR KIND OF PLACE:  ‘The View’ co-host Ana Navarro is ‘upset 24 hours a day’ in Florida.

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.
