I HAVEN’T BEEN SHARING THESE, AS PERSONAL LIFE TOOK ALL MY ATTENTION (AND WILL FOR ANOTHER WEEK OR SO, BUT MAYBE ENOUGH I CAN POST HERE):  Holidays to Home- Part One. In which Donnal the apprentice wizard begins a journey.

I think it’s fun, though.

SOUNDS RIGHT TO ME:  How to Convict Lindsay Clancy, an open letter to the prosecutors.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT POVERTY. IT WAS ABOUT GOVERNMENT AND POWER:  Sixty-two years and $22 trillion later, the U.S. poverty rate sits at roughly 11 percent, almost identical to where Lyndon Johnson found it in 1964. The government ran the most expensive social experiment in human history and produced nothing measurable. Bureaucracies perpetuate themselves, and this policy worked exactly as designed.

THESE GENTRY SURE DO ABUSE EVERY OFFICE THEY GET HOLD OF!  Senior immigration official and alleged moneyman caught accepting $960K in bribes for citizenship favors: prosecutors.

HE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW?  The Universal Sexual Politics Decoder Ring: *I, a member of the [sane sex], look upon the effects of [opposite sex hormonal makeup]* All of you who are under the influence of that are insane dangerous subhumans who need to be controlled or you will destroy all of civilization. The worst of [my sex] would *never* do [things which my sex routinely does in a slightly different way which I’m therefore not counting] that [your sex] does. Since [my sex] are the only sane ones and are never hormonally compromised we must be the ones to enforce the greater good.

X-cancel.

GOOD:  Gun Policy Reform.

IT’S JUST A STUDY, BUT MAYBE WE’LL HAVE NUKE POWERED COMMERCIAL CARRIERS, EVENTUALLY:  ‘Pink Corridor’ Project to Study Nuclear-Powered Container Route Across Atlantic.

THE… WHAT?  ‘Activist’ San Diego judge frees Machete-wielding MS-13 executioner known as ‘the witch’.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE CAMERAS. THE PROBLEM IS THE DATA BASE THEY’RE FEEDING AND THE ACCESS AND USE POLICIES:  Good Point.

SORRY I DIDN’T SHARE THIS HERE YESTERDAY:  The Memes must go on.

For family reasons, we’re moving. It’s a long and complicated story, but it looks like end state will be better for us, and better for the rest of the family too. Anyway, the move must be completed this month, which means I’ve barely been online enough to check the email and often collapse before I can post here. That was the last week and a half. This week should be a little better.

THE GOAL IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE: TO USE IT ONLY FOR EXCEPTIONAL CASES:  Trump wants to increase fees for this visa. It could top $200,000. Critics of the visa program lauded the move to reduce competition for U.S. jobs. But opponents of the higher fee say it will devastate the program and question whether the goal is to abolish it.

The goal was never supposed to be replacing all American workers with cheaper labor that couldn’t talk back. And it’s time to stop that already. I see the President is giving his attention to this matter. This is what I voted for.

HE’S LUCKY THE POLICE WERE THE ONES WHO FOUND HIM:  Pyromaniac caught red-handed setting fresh blazes near raging Nevada inferno: cops.

I BET THERE ARE MORE JASON ARDAYS AT CAMBRIDGE:  Cambridge Said Jason Arday Was an ‘Aberration.’ So Why Was This Shaky PhD Thesis He Approved Sealed Until 2031? We obtained a Cambridge PhD thesis—one of questionable academic rigor—that Dr. Arday examined and that was put under a new, five-year embargo just after the scandal about Dr. Arday broke.

IT’S FEAR THEY’RE MAKING FUN OF:  Just as I am begging women to stop supporting a child murderer, I’m also begging men to stop erasing context from videos and supplying context you pulled out of your own ass. None of these are “making fun of baby murder”. They’re acting out genuine FEAR they recognize as being mostly irrational, and that’s the joke. It’s no different from a man picturing various scenarios of improbable things that could happen to his family. You’d think someone from Babylon Bee of all places would recognize this for what out actually is…

I think you have to be a mom to understand. For those who don’t know, I’m extremely ADD. My persistent nightmare when I was pregnant with older son/he was little: I put the baby in the garage and forgot him, and he died of starvation and heat stroke.  Now was I ever going to do that, in a million years? No. But I had vivid nightmares I’d done it. And in retrospect it’s hilariously crazy.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS WEREN’T:  Soooo, guy I knew in of all places National Guard in Florida. He was taking a master’s in Optics at University of Central Florida. He had to do a paper. Just one of the random ‘do a paper’ assignments you do in a master’s program. He’d heard that tailings from coal mines could be a bit suspect in terms of radiation. Not in his direct field but in ‘physics.’ Good enough. There’s a coal plant about 20 miles from Orlando. Goes out, goes to the big pile of tailings, sticks a Geiger counter probe in it, expecting a bit above background.

EVERYTHING, PRETTY MUCH:  Things Break. You Must be Able to Fix Them.

HE HATES DOGS, FIREWORKS, AMERICANS…  Abdul El-Sayed stands by criticism of fireworks, tells Americans to find other ways to ‘show your love’.

I suggest he take a plane to the shithole of his choice.  We’ll have a whip around for his ticket price. And help him pack.

MY HEAD SPINS:  When I Say Stop, Continue.

THEY SURE DID:  Texas made the right move.

ALMOST FOR SURE CANADA IS FULL OF JASON ARDAYS:  The equity excellence trade-off: A study of EDI in the Canada Research Chairs Program. The analysis reveals that EDI has actively weakened Canadian research and reduced overall academic performance at Canadian universities.
