BEFORE YOU PACK YOUR BAGS FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE GREENER PASTURES:  Running Away.

SUPPRESSION OF MALENESS IS ONLY GOING TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE:  I pretended to be a 14-year-old boy on TikTok — what I saw terrified me.

Also, she’s easily terrified….

THE ATF REMEMBERS WACO: Unfortunately for them so do the rest of us.

PRESENTISM IS PARTICULARLY BAD NOW BECAUSE WE’VE BEEN THROUGH A SORT OF SINGULARITY:   Nothing Beyond the Current Moment.

Children raised in the bizarrely affluent present can’t even understand the deprivation of past eras. (Or other places.)

IT’S LIKE A TICKING TIME BOMB, ON THIN ICE, ON A LAKE FILLED WITH OBLIVIOUS SKATERS:   Protests Break Out As Chinese Cities Drown Under $10 Trillion In Debt, Fail To Make Payments.

THEY CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH:  NY Times can’t bring themselves to admit truth about inflation.

AND THE ERASURE OF 12000 YEARS OF HUMAN HISTORY. YES, THAT’S THREE ZEROS:  Fauci Wanted Universal Human Separation Forever.

#teamheadsonpikes yields the floor (respectfully) to #teamdrophimnakedinthemiddleoftheAmazonjungle.

OF COURSE THEY WON’T:  WH won’t say why Hunter Biden-tied Russian oligarchs avoided sanction.

FROM DAVE FREER WRITING AS ALIDA LEACROFT:  Georgina.

April, 1836: Her missionary parents dead, Georgina Ross comes back to an unfamiliar England that she had left as a child. Alone and impoverished, she seeks shelter with her estranged grandfather, on his estate in rural Hampshire… Except it is not a peaceful refuge. She finds someone has attempted to murder her grandfather. He has suffered a head injury which has affected his memory, and left him unable to identify his attacker. Georgina becomes entangled with not only arson and robbery, but also the second son of the local squire, and a debonair, fashionable cousin she never knew she had. Struggling through uncertainty and present danger, Georgina must find her way, and her love.

SO, WOULD THE PETTY BUREAUCRATS OF FLINDERS ISLAND LIKE TO KNOW THE WORLD IS WATCHING?  THE WEAVE.

I’m wondering if they have email or phone…  Remember, be polite, be rational and have a plan to kill everyone you see, I mean   and let them know they are making themselves look like *ss clowns by picking on an internationally famous author who in all good faith picked their island to immigrate to, and who has tried to be the best Australian he can be.

HE IDENTIFIES AS A ‘BLACK MAN’ BUT AS AN ADJECTIVELESS ACTOR:  Idris Elba responds to criticism after not calling himself a ‘black actor’.

A competent human being needs no Equity. And trusts none.

I SAY: LET THEM WEAR THAT ALBATROSS:  ‘Liar’ Sacheen Littlefeather’s sisters: Leave her out of Oscars’ In Memoriam.

THEY’RE USING THE PRE-SOVIET SHOVELS BECAUSE THE ONES MADE SINCE THEN ARE CRAP:  Russian reservists short on ammo fighting with shovels designed in 1869: report.

OH, PLEASE. THIS NATION KNOWS HE DOESN’T:  Joe Biden Tells Fire fighter Union: After Brain Aneurysm, Docs ‘Had to Take the Top of My Head off a Couple Times to See if I Had a Brain’.

AH. IT’S NOT THAT BAD. THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER, BUT NOT THE PEOPLE:  Life Among the Ruins.

COMMUNIST RULERS CAN MAKE ANY PLACE A THIRD WORLD SH*THOLE:  The corruption of California.

They managed it with Germany.

BUT WHAT PRECISELY IS THE “IT” THAT’S COMING APART? Coming Apart.

FOR THE LOVE OF BOB. GIVE HER PERMANENT TIME OFF. WE’RE ALL FATIGUED FROM DEALING WITH HER AND OTHERS LIKE HER:   Professor Demands Black Faculty Get Paid Leave to Deal With ‘Racial Battle Fatigue’.

WELL, I HAVEN’T SHOPPED AT EITHER, BUT I CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OL’ PETE AND A CARTOON CHARACTER:  ‘Man of the People’ Buttigieg: “You Think Tucker Carlson Knows the Difference Between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl’s?”

I DID WONDER WHY RELATIVES IN EUROPE ARE SUDDENLY TERRIFIED OF COVID AND HOW IT’S COMING BACK:  Farmers’ Protests Erupt in the Netherlands and Belgium Against EU Climate Change Restrictions,

How many times will Europeans fall for the fear porn to keep them from rebelling? I told you this in the depths of lockdowns, but please listen to me this time: Lockdowns? Curfews? Other ways of limiting the movement of populations? I’ve lived through a few long ago and far away. I have more experience of this than anyone should have.  They’re never about whatever emergency they’re supposedly about. They’re always because a government is terrified of its citizens and wants them imprisoned.

Remember that. The country you save might be your own.

CONSIDERING HOW THOSE THINGS END UP IN HUMANS, AND THE VARIOUS ERUCTATIONS OF BILL GATES, I’M SORRY, I DON’T TRUST THIS:  U.S. Might Vaccinate Chickens Due to Bird Flu Outbreak.

Dear establishment, realize we’ve had enough of your sh*t and no one trusts you. Stop digging.

SOMETHING ONLY BEFORE SEEN IN POORLY EDITED BOOKS:  Jan. 6 Footage Shows Officer Brian Sicknick Walking Uninjured in Capitol Around the Time Rioters ‘Killed’ Him Outside.

APPARENTLY THE FLORIDA LAW DUH HAS BEEN MISREPORTED:  Even if both sides do it, it’s a bad idea.

So second verse, same as the first, it’s just the left. Still a bad idea, and definitely register this.  (The Florida Bill just says that reporters don’t get protection when they engage in defamation, which honestly? As someone who’s been defamed by paid reporters, we need a better definition of “public person” and of what reporters can get away with in terms of making stuff up wholesale that will affect one’s livelihood.)

IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO FORGET THIS IS STILL COMING OUT:  Twitter files blacklists.

EVERY SUNDAY I HAVE A PROMO POST MOSTLY FOR INDIE AUTHORS. THERE’S ALSO A VIGNETTE CHALLENGE:  Book Promo and Vignettes by by Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.
