TO BE DETERMINED, BUT I DON’T LIKE IT:  Israel ceasefire: A temporary setback or a victory for Hamas?

There should be no cease fire without surrender. Utter, no conditions surrender.

BLACK FRIDAY SALE FROM SARAH A. HOYT: Darkship Thieves is 99c on sale!

#CommissionEarned

Athena Hera Sinistra never wanted to go to space.

Never wanted see the eerie glow of the Powerpods. Never wanted to visit Circum Terra. She never had any interest in finding out the truth about the Darkships.
You always get what you don’t ask for. Which must have been why she woke up in the dark of shipnight, within the greater night of space in her father’s space cruiser, knowing that there was a stranger in her room. In a short time, after taking out the stranger—who turned out to be one of her father’s bodyguards up to no good, she was hurtling away from the ship in a lifeboat to get help.
But what she got instead would be the adventure of a lifetime and perhaps a whole new world—if she managed to survive….
A Prometheus Award Winning Novel, written by a USA Today Bestseller.

OF COURSE THEY DID:  Jan 6th tapes prove Biden prosecutors knowingly falsified the charges that caused Matthew Perna to kill himself.

And I hope that there are lawsuits brought against this administration and the members of that “commission” that utterly gut them financially and in reputation.

IT’S BECOMING AN HABIT, BUT I PROMISE I’M DONE WITH TRAVEL NOW, WHICH SHOULD MAKE THINGS EASIER.  This is the promo post I run for (mostly) indie books. Usually on Sunday, but lately all over the place:  Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

NOTHING DISCRIMINATORY HERE AT ALL:  EPA Doles Out $177 Million in Raced-Based ‘Environmental Justice’ Grants to ‘Black, Indigenous and People of Color’ Groups.

Also, what in heck does this have to do with protecting the environment?

NOT YET, THERE’S A LOT OF RUIN IN A COMPANY:  Disney’s descent into obscurity.

But heaven knows they’re trying. They’re very, very trying.

WOULD A POLE-DANCING STRIPPER BE APPROPRIATE?  My kid’s day care invited a drag queen to entertain on family day — is this appropriate?

May I register my complete and utter bafflement at this “trend” of hiring drag queens to perform for tiny kids? I attended a couple of burlesque shows in the 70s and 80s with drag queen performers. Much more sophisticated and a higher level of humor than any of this seems to be, btw (and often by straight men.) It was okay, for a certain type of edgy comedy for grownups. One I remember as being way better than the run of the mill of acts.  However, it wasn’t something I needed to attend or that changed me one way or another.  I know these people are virtue-signaling, but I don’t understand the thought process of:

Get drag queens to gyrate in front of confused toddlers/preschoolers/elementary schoolers.
????????????????????????
World peace!

I mean what the heck are these shows supposed to do for society or even for entertainment, exactly?

ANALYSIS: WHEN SHE’S RIGHT SHE’S RIGHT:  Megyn Kelly defends Elon Musk, lashes out at Media Matters: ‘Vile, disgusting, dishonest’.

CHASERS:

1- Megyn Kelly blasts TikTok ‘morons’* who praised bin Laden: ‘Cretins who hate America’.

2-  Megyn Kelly blasts Gayle King for interview with Israeli dad of Hamas hostage: ‘Show some damn sensitivity!’

*Disambiguation: absolutely no relationship and not to be confused with Ace of Spades HQ self-proclaimed “morons.” – hugs and kisses from an old time, if mostly silent, ‘ette.

EVEN WITHOUT THE HELP OF AL SHARPTON?  Antisemitism and Islamophobia both surging in NY during Hamas-Israel war: poll.

Also, I question Islamo-phobia. Given what we know of many believers in that religion, there is nothing irrational about not liking to hang out with them. Sorry.

BEING DEVASTATED AIN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE:  House intel chair: No charges for ‘classified document hoarder’ Biden would be ‘devastating’.

TURNS OUT THE BABYLON BEE WAS JUST EARLY, WHEN THEY “REPORTED” JOURNALIST FORGETTING TO REMOVE THE HAMAS HEADBAND:  NBC cuts ties with journalist arrested by Israel for glorifying Hamas attacks.

In the words of General Sherman, “If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.”

THIS IS PROBABLY TO ONLY LET “GOOD COMMUNISTS” THROUGH:  Report: Biden Admin Might Send Officials to Panama to Deal With U.S. Bound Migrants.

It is also quite literally insane.

THEY CLOSE THEIR EYES NOT TO SEE:  More Hamas Atrocities Documented, Strongly Supported By Palestinians and Ignored By Western Feminists.

AS HE SHOULD:  Elon Musk (X Corp fka Twitter) Sues Media Matters, Alleges “Systematically Manipulated the X User Experience to Defame X”.

AND HASN’T RECOUNTED THEIR WISH TO COMMIT IT AGAIN:  Kirby Reminds the Anti-Israel Crowd That Hamas has Engaged in Genocide, Not Israel.

WILT THOU NOT MINISTER TO A MIND DISEASED?  Pope Francis’ Removal Of Conservative Texas Bishop Exposes More Cracks In The Vatican’s New Agenda.

AND WHAT THEY RAGE AGAINST IS SANITY AND CIVILIZATION AND ULTIMATELY HUMANITY:  Rage.

IT ALREADY COULDN’T BE SAVAGED 40 YEARS AGO, WHEN I LOOKED INTO IT AS A PROFESSION: The Washington Post’s Paul Farhi Shows Why ‘Professional’ Journalism Can’t Be Salvaged.

Journalists everywhere made it their mission to “advocate” and “narrate” and “speak for” instead of a devotion to the truth as could be gathered. It was not what it advertised itself. Not even then.

YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS MECHANISM:  Deny And Reverse Victim and Offender.

MIA. AS THEY ALWAYS ARE WHEN WOMEN ARE VICTIMIZED BY MARXISTS’ PETS:  Where Are the International Women’s Organizations as the Shocking Scale of Hamas’s Sexual Violence Against Israeli Women on October 7 Becomes Horrifyingly Clear?

FROM NATHAN BRINDLE:  AI Is Love.

#COMMISSIONEARNED

Thus, AI 愛 is Love is a collection of 65 images made using Artificial Intelligence tools and methods. Each image is the author’s loving re-imagination of his wife at various stages of her life, using old photographs and digital models and post-processing software, not to mention plain old-fashioned skull sweat coming up with prompts to feed the MidJourney AI in the first place. While the author cautions his readers that his wife actually doesn’t look entirely like the lovely ladies depicted (mostly because they all have long straight or wavy hair), he does wish to make clear that all of his love for his beautiful lady wife has been poured into the present book, which he humbly recommends for your consideration.

MOST, IF NOT ALL, ARE DEAD:  IDF Recovers Body of Hamas Hostage CPL Noa Marciano in Gaza.

OF COURSE IT DOES. HE WAS A MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE SAVAGE. YOU KNOW, LIKE CHE GUEVARA:  Ghost of Bin Laden Emerges as Newest Hero of Leftist Youths.
