WE LIVE IN A TIME OF VANISHING MASKS:  Biden Is Outing the Mainstream Media.

The important thing is to remember, it’s always been like this behind the mask. For almost a hundred years now.

THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE:  Biden Incoherently Attempts to Make His Case to Stay in the Race on Morning Joe.

DOES THIS MEAN HE’LL BE IN PULL UPS INSTEAD OF DIAPERS?  White House: Biden to Hold “Big Boy” Press Conference on Thursday.

WELL…. THEY MIGHT HAVE ONE BRAIN CELL BETWEEN ALL OF THEM, WHICH THEY PASS AROUND LIKE THE THREE FATES AND THEIR ONE EYE:  Key Squad Members Still Ridin’ With Biden.

LET’S STOP FINANCING KILLERS OF AMERICANS:  Federal court allows action to enforce the Taylor Force Act.

YEAH, WHERE WOULD WE BE IF REPORTERS STARTED TELLING THE TRUTH?  Philly Radio Station ‘Parts Ways’ With Anchor Who Told CNN About Biden White House Interview Questions.

MY FRIEND FRANCIS HAS HIS IDEA:  Nailing My Colours To The Mast.

I actually agree with him on France. I don’t know enough about England to say if he’s correct, but it “tastes” right. On the US? I think he’s hugely simplifying the matter.

THIS IS WHAT I THINK:  Spoiling For A Kicking.

But you know, we bet a beer when we next meet in a decade or so, so it probably won’t bankrupt either of us. Well, unless the left gets its way, and then we’ll already be bankrupt.

SOME OF THE PROMO POSTS I DO ON MY BLOG HAVE PARTICULARLY GOOD BOOKS. THIS WEEK IS ONE SUCH:  Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

(Last week too.  I hope people continue putting out great books, honestly.)

ROME NEVER FELL:  Cyclist fined for kissing wife during Tour de France.

GONE? GONE?  Democrats Have Gone Full Soviet. [VIDEO]

The masks just came off, at last.

MANUFACTURED. THEY’RE TRYING TO PRETEND THEY DIDN’T KNOW, SO THEY ESCAPE THE RECKONING:  Biden’s Cognitive Collapse: Greatest Media Scandal We’ve Ever Seen.

SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED, BEHOLD MY SHOCKED FACE:  Radio Show Hosts: Team Biden Sent Us Questions To Ask Biden.

HE’S WRONG. NOT IN THE WAY HE WANTS US TO TELL HIM THAT SO HE CAN DEMOLISH IT:  The Feminist Movement and why that term means you pooped yourself.

He’s wrong, because he thinks the patriarchy won. Look, I grew up in a real patriarchy and much as it gave me issues (as any system does anyone who doesn’t fit in) it’s way — way — better than this. Patriarchy can’t win, because there is no idolizing or elevating of fatherhood.

No, what won was anarchy. Feminism as implemented was a Marxist movement designed to bring about the “utopia” dreamed of in the Communist Manifesto, which boiled down to Marx saying “There shouldn’t be families, and any woman I deign to look at should sleep with me,” like the whiny grifter he was. What won was the Marxist version of feminism and it has destroyed men, women, the family, Western Civilization and possibly the whole human race.

THIS IS THE SAME TOWN THAT BANNED CROSSES FROM THE FOURTH OF JULY PARADE, AND FOUND EVERY ABLE BODIED CITIZEN — ATHEISTS INCLUDED — PARADING WITH A CROSS?  Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, now has one of the nation’s toughest hate crime laws. Watch this citizen deliver straight fire to the woke city council.

BEHOLD, HOW VERY SHOCKED MY FACE IS:  Satellite Images Reportedly Show Four Chinese Spy Stations Constructed in Cuba.

IT HAS BECOME OBVIOUS OVER THE LAST FIFTY YEARS THAT NO, IT’S NOT:  Is It An Evolutionary Advantage?

WHY NEVADA’S ELECTIONS HAVE SUCKED, SUCK AND WILL SUCK:  Fact Check: Nevada’s Election Laws are Failing Voters – Here’s How.

THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THIS IS THE ABOLISHING OF SCHOOL OF EDUCATION AND THE DEVOLVING OF AUTHORITY OVER CHILDREN’S EDUCATION TO AS LOCAL AND AS INDIVIDUAL AN AUTHORITY AS POSSIBLE:  Larry Cuban on School Reform and Classroom Practice.

Look, in English: if you can, homeschool. If you can’t join a cooperative of friends and homeschool. If you absolutely must find a private school that does not take government money. Sorry to tell you, but it’s not the best way, it’s the only way.

FOR THE SAME REASON — BY AND LARGE — TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING SUCKS:  Why Do Kids’ Books Suck?

I SEE A BAD MOON RIS– SUPPLY CHAIN COMING UNGLUED AGAIN:  Container port snarls now nearing Covid highs.

AND: News / Spot rate surge to continue past Golden Week, with surcharges causing more pain.

ALL OF OUR PUNY COW FARTS ARE DWARFED BY A VOLCANO:  Hunga Tonga volcano: impact on record warming.

REALLY, DO WE? WHY IS EVERYONE ACTING LIKE THIS IS NEWS? WHERE WERE YOU WHEN HE CAMPAIGNED FROM HIS BASEMENT?  Why We Need to See the Visitor Logs for Biden’s Delaware Home. Yes, It Relates to His Health.

NOT THE FIRST TIME I’VE SEEN IT, AND MOST OF THE OTHER GUESSES ARE MORE DIRE:  From a physician: Parkinson’s disease might be Joe Biden’s BEST diagnosis.

And most of the specialists in my circle (look, science fiction writers have odd fans) have been guessing at Lewy body dementia. For a few months at least.

IN THE END AFRICA WINS:  Tough Question, Simple Answer.

Brutal and unflinching. My only quibble is I don’t think genetic. I’m sure cultural. But we’ve been misunderstanding culture, I think. Culture is almost a collective mind with its own subconscious. And no, not all cultures are alike. And no, culture is not just food and clothing and such. It’s an incredibly complex interlinking of language and things learned when too young to know we’re learning anything. It’s what makes acculturation of adults so hard — trust me, I lived it — and the absorption of large masses of third worlders impossible. And of course no one is studying it, because we confuse culture and race, imagine culture is entirely fungible and ethically neutral, and are generally ignoring the most important topic of research of our century. And that’s my opinion. But until we study and figure culture and a better way to bring large groups to contemporary culture short of the good ol’ tried and true kill everyone over 3 years of age, culture might as well be genetic. And may G-d have mercy on all our souls, given the open borders experiment.

IT’S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. IT’S THE LEFT HOLDING ON BY EVERY MEANS NECESSARY, WHICH NECESSARILY INCLUDES EVERY DIRTY TRICK AND PROCEDURAL JIGGERY POCKERY:  Bad News From France.

It will surprise no one that they appear not to know any history. In this sort of circumstance, as tech innovation and the culture are turning completely, the longer you artificially hold on, the harder the fall.
