OH – THE POLICE HAD HIM ON THEIR RADAR …  Accused UVA gunman Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. was on police’s radar since September.

THIS SEEMS OPTIMISTIC:  One out of every 179 Americans will eventually be murdered if crime rate continues: study.

Because of course the crime rate will increase when there are no consequences whatsoever.

YES, WE’RE ALL VERY ANGRY. IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER TO BE ANGRY AT THE RIGHT PEOPLE:  Beyond the Red Rage Horizon.

And never let the lie into your head.

ISN’T THAT THE BASIS OF CRT? HOW COULD WHITE PEOPLE BE THAT UNIFORMLY OPPRESSIVE AND PLOTTING IF THEY WEREN’T SUPERIOR?  Texas teacher on leave after saying white people are ‘superior’ race.

Oh, I get it. The left is mad at him for saying the quiet part out loud.

And for the idiots not following at home: I despise theories of racial superiority, which yes does include CRT.

FROM FRANK J. FLEMING:  Hellbender 2: Double Hockey Sticks.

This is the sequel to the novel Hellbender.

I’m not sure what to do here. If you read and enjoyed the first one, I don’t feel like I need to sell you very hard on this one. The characters you love from Hellbender — Doug, Bryce, Lulu, and Charlene — get into further misadventures, while I also expand on the lore from the first one. Are the people in charge really demons? What happened in the Last War? Well, there are more answers and more questions in the sequel — you know how it works.

If you haven’t read the first one, it seems like I should just point you to the blurb for that novel. I mean, I made my best attempt at explaining the story in that one. It’s a post-apocalyptic comedy. There’s a mercenary gang of loveable losers (called Hellbender) in constant conflict with more powerful forces out to destroy or oppress them. And Satan — or a guy who says he is Satan — is involved. It’s intriguing, and it’s funny.
In this one, Hellbender faces an indescribable horror, a terrorist group that just enjoys terror and makes no demands, and a bunch of nuclear weapons. The gang is in way over its head again, and it’s going to be fun. I am excited for you. You know what? If you haven’t read the first one, just go ahead and jump into this one and read the first one later — consider it a prequel. You can call this book Hellbender and the previous one Hellbender: Origins.

IGNORE THE LYING STATISTICS AND UN BS. THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD HAS PROBABLY BEEN FALLING FOR A WHILE:  A Different Take On Russia.

Yes, even in Africa and Arab countries, which at any rate never had even vaguely credible counts, just a way to shake the international aid tree.  Even in the US, arguably one of more exact countries, we inflate our census count and have since at least the eighties. At this point we’re just asking women who never existed to bear children.

The population bomb is an imploder. And it’s much, much worse than overpopulation would ever be.

But in the end it’s the fraud. Look, guys, if you believe the guys who support and fight like rabid weasels to keep: vote harvesting, vote by mail, same day registration, no id, not-secure machine voting, etc. etc. aren’t commuting fraud I commend you for your sparkling shiny souls and beg you — with tears in my eyes — please grow up. You’re going to get us all killed.

Still hesitant. Sure. Repeat after me: “President Biden is so great he got the most votes in American history, and lost the fewest seats in a first midterm. Obama was holding him back all these years.”

If you can repeat that without laughing or seeing the absurdity of it, you’re either insane or you’ve been on a bender since election day and need to dry out now. Because I refuse to change my name to Cassandra, and I’m getting tired of this shouting in the desert thing. I don’t like grasshoppers in honey.
