THEY CAN TRY, BUT I PITY THE FOOL WHO LAYS A HAND ON MY CATS (THERE WILL BE BLOOD):  They’re coming for your cats and dogs.

HIS DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP IS STUPIDLY HARSH (I MEAN THE ADVERB):  Seven things to ruin your day.

SANITY CREEPS IN?  JPMorgan, State Street, and BlackRock Abandon ESG Group Climate Action 100+.

CANCEL CULTURE ISN’T NEW. BUT NOW IT’S KNOWN. THAT MEANS THEY LOSE:  With Open Eyes.

OH YEAH, I’M SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED:  BREAKING: Police confirm that the Kansas City shooting was a dispute between several thugs, including 2 juveniles.

But yeah, new gun laws will totally solve this, because thugs totally follow laws, right?

IF ONLY THE JUNTA WOULD ALLOW US TO USE OUR OWN RESOURCES!  Over 2 Billion Metric Tons of Rare Earth Minerals Discovered in Wyoming.

AH! OUR PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMIA!  Penn State professor who begged cops to kill him when he was busted in bestiality case is hit with new charges of lewd acts in park.

THEY’RE ALL COMPROMISED:  MEMRI founder on Qatar’s nefarious role as the patron of HamaSS and other Islamist fascists.

LEGISLATING WAGES IS LIKE LEGISLATING THE WEATHER:  And you thought they were already stupid about the minimum wage.

You can demand it be this or that, but in the end, the laws of economics (which is a science) will dictate what it is.

A man whose debts must be paid by vengeance. A woman desperate to save her husband. A grieving father finding a young enemy soldier on his veritable doorstep…

These fantasy and soft sci-fi stories wonder whether or not heroes need families. Are we not told that families slow the hero down? Is it not typically implied that they get in the way of the adventure? Are they a burden, or truly the greatest strength from which the hero and those he loves can draw?

Six tales in this collection center on family, faith, and self-sacrificing love as men and women fight for the ones whom they hold most dear. Whether the enemy is inner turmoil, a nightmare, or a demon really does not matter. If the threat seeks to harm a member of the family, it is going to pay dearly.

USEFUL IDIOTS:  The people taking illegal aliens into their homes—saints, predators, or fools?

WE KNOW:  The 14th Amendment and the Bill of Rights Require Overturning the Colorado Decision.

WHAT HE SAID:   Taking Trump Seriously.

YES, YES, HIGHER PRINCIPLE. THE RIGHT NEEDS TO STOP FALLING ON THEIR SWORD. BECAUSE THE GAME THEORY ON ONE SIDE THAT WORKS FOR “HIGHER PRINCIPLES’ AND ONE WHO FIGHTS FOR POWER IS OBVIOUS:  Republicans Lose House Seat in New York Special Election.

A RIFLE BUTT WOULD PROBABLY SUFFICE:  The Army must take a bayonet to this diversity mania.

UKRAINE WAS THE SECOND DOMINO, AFTER AFGHANISTAN, AND A LONG CHAIN’S TEETERING:  Biden’s ruinous foreign policy 1: Ukraine.

Does anyone seriously doubt Russia didn’t have the facts of Hunter’s business schemes? Might that have affected Putin’s thinking?

YES, IT IS COMPLICATED, BUT IF YOU DON’T LIKE THESE METHODS, THEN YOU SHOULD INTENSELY OPPOSE THE CURRENT MOLLYCODDLING OF GANG AND CARTEL MEMBERS:  The Justice of Bukele?

Because it will inevitably lead to this.

ANTIFA’S DEMAND FOR FASCISM FAR OUTSTRIPS SUPPLY:  FCK NZS: How noble protestors “against the right” assembled yesterday evening at the Dresden Altmarkt to shout about Alternative für Deutschland and finally defeat the Nazis.

They should look in the mirror.

STOP BEATING YOUR DRUMS FOR GUN-BANNING. LAWS WERE ALREADY DISOBEYED FOR THIS. CRIMINALS DON’T OBEY LAWS:  One dead, 21 wounded amid shots fired into crowd after Kansas City Chiefs rally: Live updates.

All the bleating for more laws, and his serene CCP vice-roi Zhou Bai-Den demanding we ban guns because criminals use them to commit crimes at “unifying” events relating to the superbowl just make our conspiracy sensors tingle. Stop now while you’re ahead. This is not going to work. It would work on “progressives” yes, but we’re not stupid enough to be “progressives.”

THAT’S NOT A HUNGER STRIKE. THAT’S A WEIGHT LOSS FAST:  This is why I can’t take college activists seriously.

Many of us live like that….

OH, COLORADO!  Coming bills would ban new oil-and-gas wells, stop summertime drilling.

ARE PEOPLE THIS STUPID, OR ARE WE LIVING IN A HORROR NOVEL?  That letter is one of the creepiest things you’re going to read this century.

FROM PATRICK CHILES:  Interstellar Medic: The Long Run.

#CommissionEarned

Being a paramedic is a tough job; it’s tougher when you stumble onto a crashed alien spacecraft.

Melanie Mooney thought she was just doing her job when she came upon an unusual accident in the deep woods late one night. Acting alone, what she found was nothing like she’d expected. What followed was even more unexpected.

Recruited by emissaries of a galaxy-spanning civilization, Melanie is thrust into a world she thought only existed in supermarket tabloids. As the first human in the Galactic Union Medical Corps, she cares for extraterrestrials in desperate need of a medic who can ignore the fact that they’re nothing like any patient she’s ever seen, even on their best days. And in emergency medicine, it’s a given that every patient is having the worst day of their life.

Each run takes her deeper into the galaxy and farther from home, navigating alien cultures that only get weirder with each call. It will take all of Melanie’s experience, instinct, and grit to prove herself—and the rest of humanity—to be worthy of the Union. That’s a lot to put on a woman who’d just like to end the day with a cheeseburger and a cold beer.
