TAKING OUT THE TRASH: Only fitting de Blasio could be taken down by trash bags.

OKAY, IT’S EARLY IN THE NIGHT, BUT WHY NOT?  THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE: Elijah Wood Says Hollywood Has a Pedophilia Problem.

GIVEN WHAT CUBANS DID IN MOZAMBIQUE THEY ARE A COUNTRY IN LATIN AMERICA WHO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT IMPERIALISM: But of course that’s not what they mean! Fidel Castro, Evo Morales discuss ‘imperialist efforts’ in Latin America.  I mean, Fidel could teach a master class about the how tos of kleptocracy, tyranny and imperialism.

I DIDN’T KNOW THIS WAS OUT: Someone told me last week, and I assumed it was on pre-order, since the paperbook isn’t due till August and is not even on pre-order yet.  But hey, you can buy the ebook now, and there will be a prequel short story for free on my site on Wednesday!  (Yes, I’ll post a link then.)  Anyway — Through Fire.

FAST AND FURIOUS IS NOT DONE AND OVER WITH: The scandal in Washington no one is talking about.  Apparently scandal is what we now call facilitating the murder of hundreds to make people give up their second amendment rights.  How … civilized we’ve become.

NOT UNIQUE. EVERY SOCIALIST REGIME ENDS IN THIS. ONLY THE DETAILS DIFFER: Meltdown in Venezuela: the anatomy of a ‘monstrously unique’ economic basket case.

MORE INFORMATION: EgyptAir: ‘Smoke detected’ inside cabin before crash.

IT’S OKAY, IT WILL ALL BE FORGOTTEN AND DENIED WHEN THE GENERAL COMES
AROUND: In fact, between the easily manipulated systems of absentee vote and early vote, I think we don’t so much have a voting system, we have a fraud system with occasional unintentional glimmers of honesty.  Kentucky is Just One Of Several States Investigating Voter Fraud.
