SURE. WE BELIEVE THAT:  NORAD: We Weren’t Sure China Balloon Was Hostile.

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE HOW BAD THIS ALREADY WAS BEFORE THE CURRENT OPEN BORDERS:  Lone Hospital in Yuma, AZ, Crumbling After Spending $20 Million Taking Care of Migrants.

Back ten years ago, public schools and hospitals were already groaning under the weight of “new arrivals” coming here for the benes.
You can’t have a welfare state and open borders. Choose one. Since we can no longer afford the welfare state, I suggest you think carefully through this. (Frankly I think for a while to come we can afford neither. And I think the new comers are idiots because when things sour they’ll be in the middle of a family fight.)

DIDN’T THEY, UNDER TRUMP, WHEN THEY LIED TO THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF?  Has our “constitutional” military declared its independence?

The question is when we declare them traitors. I mean the Junta won’t. But they aren’t the boss here. We the people are the actual boss.

FASCIST STATES DON’T CARE WHAT YOUR RELIGION IS, AND THEIR PET CORPORATIONS DON’T EITHER:  Today’s blacklisted American: CVS fires nurse for refusing to violate her religious beliefs.

CULTS ALWAYS MAKE KIDS SUFFER:  Stop punishing kids to feel better about climate change.

I USED TO WONDER WHETHER THESE PEOPLE WERE MORONS OR EVIL:  Sunday Talks, Cohn and Brennan Talk Gleefully About the Return of the Service Driven Economy Under Biden, Happy with No Wage Growth.

Turns out they’re evil morons.

AFTER A WHILE NOT CLEANING HOUSE CAN COST YOU YOUR LIFE:  The Termites Are In The Woodwork.

And your liberty, and your pursuit of happiness too, if anyone still cares.

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

There is also a vignette challenge orchestrated by three commenters.

IF IT WEREN’T FOR DOUBLE STANDARDS:   Migrant students in NYC schools without proof of vaccinations.

CAN’T SAY HE’S WRONG:  Ex-astronaut says ‘toxic’ NASA hasn’t learned from fatal mistakes — and may lose space race to China.
