WE’RE CITIZENS. AND BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP IS NONSENSE:  Are We Subjects or Citizens? Birthright Citizenship and the Constitution.

YES:  The Most Volatile, Complex and Dangerous Threat Environment.

DEFINITELY:  People ask: How can we help? How do we know if we’re making a difference? Here’s how —> and here’s proof. When Americans flood PERM job postings with real applications, it forces companies to admit the truth.

SOME MEDITATIONS ON THE CONTINUING ATTEMPTS TO TAKE POT SHOTS AT THE PRESIDENT:  Pushed To The Edge.

SINCE I THOUGHT I WAS A CAT TILL I WAS SIX YEARS OLD: And still feel like one most of the time, this amused me:  All Cats Are Basically Americans!  No matter where they live.

BECAUSE WHEN A CULT IS PROVEN WRONG CULTISTS DOUBLE DOWN IN FERVOR?  Why the UK and EU Keep Doubling Down on Net Zero Dogma in the Face of Spiralling Economic Dysfunction.

SOONER OR LATER THIS WILL END IN TEARS. YOU CAN’T KEEP TAKING POT SHOTS AT A SITTING PRESIDENT AND NOT EXPECT THAT SOME OF THE RIGHT’S LESS TIGHTLY WOUND BULBS WILL STAY CALM:  The fire this time.

The problem is that large segments of the left live in a waking dream fed by movies and stories and storifyied pseudo-reporting, to the point they don’t realize life is real. They life in the “and then everyone clapped” universe.

MOST NORMAL OR WHOLESOME THINGS TRIGGER THEM:  WHCD: Displays of Normal American Masculinity Triggers The Left.

LONG OVERDUE:  Trump fires the entire governing board of the National Science Foundation.

WHEN WE SAY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ARE ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE*? THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN:  What radicalized him were the same talking points repeated every day on the left.

X-cancel.

*Not exclusively. They’re also enemies of all decency afflicted with an obsessive nostalgie de la boue. And all too often acting like hostis humani generis.
If you’re in the MSM and don’t like that characterization, stop reporting on fever dreams from a parallel universe and licking the… er… boots of the Democrats on their slip slide into communism.

IT’S NOT ALL HUMANS, LAWDOG:  White House Correspondent’s Dinner.

I’m not sure it’s even all leftists*. It’s leftists right here and now. They’re out of their raving little minds.

*Yes I know their principles are terrible and lead to utter horror, but people are really good at ignoring such stuff.

THE AMORALITY IS BIZARRE. HE NEVER MENTIONS THE MOST OBVIOUS REASON NOT TO STEAL: Because it’s wrong. In every major religion of the world, which are — if nothing else — a distillation of all human wisdom and what works, theft is wrong.  Why shoplifting is bad. It may feel like a small act of rebellion, but it hurts a lot of people who don’t deserve it.

IT’S RAZOR FIST:  It Happened Again. (Video)

AN ANALYSIS:  The Southern Poverty Law Center indictment.  It looks like deserved karma for race-huckstering grifters, but is it a legitimate fraud case?

I BELIEVE IT:  I’m seeing a correlation. Looks to me like the people in open source who are anti-AI are pretty much the same people who were completely captured by the woke mind virus.

THIS IS WHY IQ* BY ITSELF IS USELESS AS A MEASURE OF A PERSON:  Cole Allen is the Dunning-Kruger Assassin. Allen is not some random nut job from the fringes of society. He’s a very articulate graduate of Caltech, which means he has a high degree of native intelligence. He’s in the education profession. He is on BlueSky. He goes to No Kings protests. He’s your basic rank-and-file Democrat. But it’s that high native intellect that led him astray.

X-cancel.

Horse sense understanding of humans is at least as important. And not being by personality a patsy is more important.

*No. I don’t say it to compensate for anything. Nice try. I can give you my Mensa card number. It’s been expired for 20 years, but the test doesn’t expire. It is because of it that I understand the limits of the measurement.

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

There’s also a fun vignette challenge.

FROM CAROLINE FURLONG:  Theophany.

Ten years ago the Savients took over Niban, forcing the independent inhabitants into poverty and despair. Bass White saw the careless cruelty of the Savients kill his mother and his father. When a resistance cell is discovered in his city bloc, the Savients seek to make everyone pay.

With his wife Amie, Bass races into the caverns to escape the Savients’ brutal enforcers: the Atrasai. The couple barely make it to the limits of known territory outside their underground city, however, before the Atrasai catch up with them. It would take a miracle to save them…

…or a combat medic robot.

Join Bass and Amie in this sci-fi story of healing, hope, and wonder. After a decade of fear and pain, even a little light can bring out the best in man and machine. But will the best be enough to heal?

IT’S AS IF HE’S ACTING LIKE A BREWER, GIVING THE YEAST TIME TO WORK:  Trump cancels US delegation’s Pakistan trip as Iran peace talks stall: ‘They can call us anytime they want’.
