ACADEMIA IS SICK AND BROKEN. AND DETERMINED TO RESIST ORANGEMANBAD IF HE TRIES TO FIX IT:  Needier People in Colder Spaces (and a few notes about random stuff in academia and politics).

AND WRITERS. AND FILMMAKERS. AND….   The crippling effect of “woke” on historians.

A BUCHAREST VIGNETTE:  Romania, Freedom Isn’t Free, and Oblivious Americans.

FROM AN ADMITTEDLY BIASED SOURCE, BUT IT CHECKS OUT, HISTORICALLY, WITH HOW RUSSIANS TREATED THEIR TROOPS:  Extortion & rape: How Russians treat Russians.  “A man isn’t going to tell another man that he was raped by a third man. But witnesses are talkative”.

ALL IS NOT AS IT SEEMS:  Hate.

GOOD:  ICE Arrests Uzbekistan Terrorism Suspect Who Was Given CDL During Biden Admin.

SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED. BEHOLD MY SHOCKED FACE:  75% of Pacific Palisades Fire Victims Still Stuck in Temporary Housing.

MY EDITOR DID A POST ABOUT MY LATEST BOOK:   Deej Recommends: No Man’s Land.
He’s my editor because I pay him for structural edits. He doesn’t get any further pay for the book doing well or not.

ON SUNDAYS I DO A PROMO POST FOR (MOSTLY) INDY AUTHORS:  Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

There’s also a vignette challenge that has launched a dozen novels!

A DAMN SIGHT BETTER OFF:   Where would we be without this cutting-edge research?

SPOILER: THEIR ‘ANNE’ CALLS THE NAZIS DOWN ON HER FAMILY, PLEADING THEY PREVENT CREATION OF ISRAEL:   Here’s What the Creators of Satirical ‘Anne Frank’ Musical Don’t Want You to Know About Its Last 20 Mins.

The left no longer can create. They can only destroy.

WELL PAST DUE:  Trump admin begins massive crackdown on violent illegal migrants in Charlotte.

I DO BELIEVE THIS IS IN FACT WHAT I VOTED FOR:   Top Republican Went Scorched Earth on Dems Over Failed Schumer Shutdown Circus.

THE PEOPLE SCREAMING WERE NEVER MAGA:  I don’t know who needs to hear this, but to all of the people screaming “MAGA is finished” and that “we’ve already lost the 2026 midterms.” Giving up a full year in advance of an election may be the weakest and most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. If that’s what you believe, you deserve to lose. You give up so easily and somehow think you’ll win in 2028? Because you fought so hard this time around? What a joke.

And for the X-cancelled. 

The people screaming are the same good ol’ burnitalldowners who’ve been with us ten years now.

AN EXPLANATION OF CHIP FOUNDRY WATER USAGE:   TSMC Arizona: What About the Water? (VIDEO).

Environmentalist whackos who don’t understand water cycles (BIRM) most affected.

SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED. BEHOLD MY SHOCKED FACE:   U.S. Spy Agencies Had Ties to Wuhan Scientists Years before 2020 Covid Pandemic Began.

ALL OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE ROTTEN:  Corporations, politicians, media, churches, science, academia, sports, and entertainment all align with the progressive decades-long project to dismantle the family as social bedrock.

Build under, build over, build around.What can’t continue won’t. And we still need some of it.

WE’VE BEEN FOUNDING THE LEFT:  Lies, Damn Lies, and USAID Lies.

MAKE IT SO:  Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy To ‘Loon Wing’ Dems: Stop Shuttering Government Or Lose Your Paycheck.

OH, THAT IS INTERESTING, INNIT?   House Democrat exchanged texts with Epstein on how to hurt Trump during 2019 congressional hearing: docs.

SO ABOUT THAT H1B SYSTEM:   I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data.  I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I’m now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works.

AND YOU HAVE MORE MEMORY THAN A GOLDFISH:   UBI is Feeding the Goldfish in the Aquarium.

GOOD:  It’s official: Members of Congress won’t get a pay bump this year.

MEMES ARE THE ONLY THING PROVEN TO BRING MORE JOY WHEN REDISTRIBUTED:   There is No World. There is Only Memes.
