I SNAGGED A GUEST TO EXPLAIN THIS MESS TO ME — AND YOU:  SVB – A Guest Post by Francis Turner.

PUPPET IS A FUNNY WAY TO SPELL SH*T:  Puppet show masquerading as democracy.

SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED:  Today’s blacklisted American: Eventbrite routinely blacklists conservative events.

WE’VE CARRIED THEM SO LONG THEY FORGOT THE REALITIES OF LIFE:  UK, Germany Struggle to Revamp Armed Forces Amid Growing Chinese and Russian Threats.

IT BEARS REPEATING:  The Stanford Law School Culture, Not The Diversity Dean, Is The Problem (but I repeat myself).

WELL, IT WAS A GREAT SYSTEM FOR THE WORLD 100 YEARS AGO:  And this is why public education is doomed.

I’M SO DISILLUSIONED TO LEARN HE IMPERSONATED AN IMPOSTER:  ‘Catch Me If You Can’ conman Frank Abagnale Jr. lied about his lifetime of lies, sources claim.

Or, you know, it’s so meta I’m actually impressed.

BUT THEY HAVE BIKE LANES!   NYC ranked US’s most congested city as motorists spend 10 full days in rush-hour traffic per year.

THE US HASN’T BEEN TRULY ‘CAPITALIST’ IN AT LEAST FIFTY YEARS:  SVB bailout shows ‘capitalism is breaking down,’ Ken Griffin says.

Though I’d date it to FDR’s first term.

Can we give Capitalism a try?

“THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN”:  Treasury gives House GOP access to Biden family suspicious activity reports.

COULD BE – BUT PROBABLY AREN’T:  2004 Wisconsin state quarters could be worth up to $6K: Here’s why.

IT APPEARS AS THOUGH MAYOR PETE FELT THE NEED TO DO SOMETHING (ANYTHING) TO GET HIS NAME IN THE PAPERS IN A POSITIVE LIGHT:  Biden admin urges Congress to ban family seating fees on airlines.

ON SUNDAYS I RUN A BOOK PROMO FOR (MOSTLY) INDIE WRITERS:  Book Promo and Vignettes by Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

And on Sundays when I’m feeling sick, I only share it on Tuesday morning.

Oh, there’s also a fun vignette challenge.

OKAY, SO IGNORE CLIMATE CHANGE AND RUN THE DIRTIEST INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD?  Biden’s Secretary of Energy say’s U.S. can “learn” from China on Climate Change.

Note I do not believe “climate change” as human-caused is a) proven b)inimical to life on Earth c) anything but same old socialist boondoggle.  But I still think we don’t need the level of pollution China has.  In fact the only thing China has to teach us is “awful example of what not to do.

AH PRESENTISM AGAIN. THESE IDIOTS DON’T REALIZE SEXISM AND RACISM RULE NOW… ON THE LEFT:  TikTok’s viral ‘trad wife’ trend accused of ‘romanticizing an era where sexism and racism ruled’.

THE MSM WILL FIND A WAY TO BLAME GOV. DESANTIS IN 5 … 4 …   Huge seaweed bloom that can be seen from space threatens Florida beaches.

SO YOU’RE SAYING THEY HAD EXPERIENCE WITH FAILING BANKS?   Top Silicon Valley Bank execs worked at notoriously troubled Lehman Brothers, Deutsche Bank.

THEY GAVE A BOARD SEAT TO THE MAN WITH A HAND IN EVERY BANKING CRISES OF THE LAST 30 YEARS?  Barney Frank under fire over role on board of doomed Signature Bank.

Well, they had to do something to keep him from running prostitution rings from his basement again!

THE PROBLEM IS NOT THIS DEAN OF DIVERSITY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE POSITION EXISTS AT ALL:  Firing Diversity Dean Over Judge Shout-Down May Help Stanford Law School Escape Consequences Of Its Toxic DEI Culture.

No, there is no proof, scientific or otherwise that diversity helps or enhances anything. The only diversity that has the potential to do that is diversity of points of view, which is not what this “diversity” is.  And even diversity of points of view has limits. Astronomers shouldn’t be required to hire flat Earthers.

As it stands, right now “diversity” positions are political officer positions for the left. And that’s how they work. So, they’re the problem.

SURE IT COULD; AND FAUCI COULD BE AN HONEST MAN:  Straining Credulity, Dr. Fauci Asserts Covid Lab Leak Could Still be Considered a ‘Natural Occurrence’.

But let’s not bother with hypotheticals and stick to reality. In this reality Fauci is a crook and the covid lab leak was not natural.

I’VE NOTICED A LOT OF ADS FOR HOW TO GET YOUR CLOTHES TO NOT STINK AGAIN:  Manufacturers, Customers Lash Out at Biden’s ‘Climate Friendly’ Washing Machine Regulations.

I want our government to stop its war on things that work.

TO BE FAIR WE’RE NOT MAD. WE’RE FURIOUS:  Fauci Has No Idea Why People Are Mad At Him.

Lying, imposing his psychosis on the whole nation, helping destroy the economy and falsify our elections, giving money to China, gain of function….  Shall I go on? Because I’m going to get to puppies and sandflies really quick, and then I’m going to start screaming and reaching for the ax, and no one wants that.

NO. NOT CLOSE TO SINFUL. SINFUL. TREATING CHILDREN LIKE OBJECTS TO ADVANCE A POLITICAL VIEW. ATROCITY:  “Close To Sinful” Transgender Laws Per Biden.

SELLING US THE ROPE TO HANG US WITH: TWICE!  China May Have Double-Billed U.S. For Wuhan Lab Projects.

OH YES, WE HAVE BANANAS:  Welcome to the banana republic.
