ELEGANCE IS THE MEETING OF FORM AND FUNCTION:  Elegance.

THIS IS THE DAMAGE LOCKDOWNS HAVE DONE.  MANY OF THESE CASES SEEM TO A) INVOLVE DOMESTIC ABUSE B) DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT MINORITIES:  Teen girls are being forced to have sex at ‘highest level we’ve ever seen’.

A  JOB IS NOT YOUR FAMILY:  Response to entitled twit complaining that job doesn’t care about them.

OF COURSE SHE DID:   Ex-MSNBC host Krystal Ball says she had to get permission to criticize Hillary Clinton.

MULTICULTURALISM HAS NO VALUE. IT ONLY DESTROYS:  Sowell on multiculturalism.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS EVIL MAGIC:  UN Advisor Claims ‘climate change is triggering more earthquakes’ – ‘There is growing scientific evidence that climate change increases the risk of such tremors, together with tsunamis and volcanic eruptions’.

IN THE FUTURE WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO SIGNIFY PROFOUND DISGRACE, THEY’LL CALL IT A BUTTIGIEG:  Buttigieg Bemoans Lack of Racial Diversity in Construction, Fails to Mention Ohio Train Disaster.

DOES THE BEAR POO IN THE WOODS:   Did a Government Intel Asset Plant Key Evidence in  Proud Boys Case?

THAT THE LEFT THINKS THIS MAN IS PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL IS THE WORST THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THEM:  Buttigieg Condemns MSU Shooting Right Away But Took 10 Days to Address Ohio Train Disaster.

WELL, OF COURSE:  Police Knew About MSU Shooter, Progressive Prosecutor’s Soft-on-Crime Approach Kept Him on the Street.

FROM LAURA MONTGOMERY:  The Gear Engages: A Science Fiction Lost Colony Adventure.

#CommissionEarned

It takes more than a single terraformer to start a new world.

The human colony on the lost world of Not What We Were Looking For faces fracture and schism. On one side of the river, the settlers from Earth remember what it means to live in a free society. In the Marss-controlled city, the governor cancelled elections long ago and strives daily to cement his grip on the inhabitants.

Thaddeus Dawe and the Hudson cousins, including the one who agreed to marry him, save the colony’s last terraseeder from the governor’s political grandstanding, and head for the secret northern enclave started by Thaddeus’ brother. But all Thaddeus’ careful planning takes a wrenching turn when not one but two parties race in pursuit.

Thwarted in his original goal, faced with repairing the consequences of what he does to escape arrest, and besotted by the discovery of newspapers, Thaddeus wrestles with new ventures and roles in which he dare not fail. He must save not only Earth’s microbial legacy but its knowledge base as well. Not to mention, he’s getting married.

But when the governor’s chief of staff decides to weaponize Thaddeus against both the city’s farmers and the newspaper’s publisher, Thaddeus must fight the governor’s attempts to steal the farmers’ land even as someone destroys everything Thaddeus himself tries to build. In the end, he must do what he can to save those his own betrayal put at risk.

Picking up where Under the Earthline left off, The Gear Engages is the fourth book in the gripping science fiction colonization series Martha’s Sons. If you like action, political machinations, and a driven hero, you’ll want to dive in heart-and-head first.

Pick it up now to join the fight for a lost world!

BUYING THE BEST YOU CAN SAVES MONEY IN THE LONG RUN:  Quality has a luxury all its own.

COULD BE SABOTAGE. OR YOU KNOW, RUSSIAN MAINTENANCE:  First picture of hole that occurred on Soyuz in December.

OF COURSE. THE UPSIDE: THEY WOULDN’T BE WORKING THIS HARD, IF THEY WEREN’T A MINORITY:  A real blacklist designed to choke ad profits from conservative and legitimate news organizations.

BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CONCEPT OF MONEY AND HAVE NOT WORKED A DAY IN THEIR LIVES, SO SALON THINKS THEY’RE NATURAL LEFTISTS?  Salon Sunday Ridiculousness: Why Children Should Vote.

OBVIOUSLY. ON ACCOUNT OF “BLACK” IS NOT A NATION:  Super Bowl LVII – There Is No Black National Anthem.

What’s next? The National Anthem of Depressed Teen Girls? Or the National Anthem of Girls Who Have to Share Locker Rooms With Boys?
The point of a National Anthem is that it’s National. It’s kind of right there in the name. If you forget that, you’ll end up with the National Anthem of Mrs. Wiggins who lives in Apartment 24D at 567 Smith Street in Point Pleasant, Wisconsin. And then every other national anthem for the rest of us. We’d never have time for a Superbowl. Though I grant you if it spared us the mid-game show, it would be totally worth it.

SAME AS IT’S EVER BEEN?  CDC Warns Of Teen Girls Experiencing Violence And Hopelessness.

Maybe we shouldn’t let boys who think they’re girls upstage them in sports and beauty pageants?

UH UH. THE OTHER ONE PLAYS JINGLE BELLS: Beijing Claims U.S. has Flown Over 10 ‘High-Altitude Balloons’ in China’s Airspace the Past Year.

WHAT DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS? CANADIAN?  Yale Professor: Mandatory ‘Mass Suicide’ of Elderly a Solution to ‘Japan’s Rapidly Aging Society’.

SO, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS: It’s obviously a distraction. But still, every word these people say is a lie, including a and the. So?  White House: ‘No Indication of Aliens,’ Spy Balloon ‘Part of Larger Intelligence Gathering Program’.

I for one welcome our new Alpha Centaurian overlords. I mean seriously. You think they’re worse than the Marxists? I roll to disbelieve.

WELL, YES. SHOULD HAVE A LONG TIME AGO. BUT WHY THE WARNING NOW? ARE THEY PLANNING TO OHIO RUSSIA?  U.S. Tells Citizens Not to Travel to Russia and Those Already There to Leave Immediately.

AND THEY’RE BEING SUS ABOUT IT, TO BOOT:  ‘Basically Nuked a Town’: EPA Identifies Three More Dangerous Chemicals on Train That Derailed in Ohio.

ACTUALLY THEY ARE; AND BECOMING MORE FEASIBLE EVERY MINUTE:  Are anti-Chinese economics even feasible?
