OF COURSE HE DOES. PUTIN IS HIS FREN AND STUFF:  Slow Joe digs in against opening up US energy production to checkmate Russia.

SURE, OKAY, I’M SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS PROMO POST FOR INDIE AUTHORS ON SUNDAY:  But you’re completely disregarding the fact that the post went on foot through the most dangerous areas of the web, while being attacked by vicious internet hamsters!* No wonder it was delayed:  Book Promo And Vignettes by Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

*Okay fine. I was busy and away from the computer most of the weekend. (Also known as my husband saying “You’re reading the news and gnashing your teeth again. Turn the computer off and let’s go take care of stuff we’ve delayed too long.” He’s zany like that.)  Anyway, that promo post also has a vignette challenge which has launched a half a dozen novels, and also some very rude doggerel about the Biden Junta. (One of the many reasons I love my fans.)

THIS. ABSOLUTELY THIS SHOULD BE OUR RESPONSE TO THE INVASION OF THE UKRAINE:  It’s Time For US To Re-Establish Energy Dominance.

I mean, it was time long long before this. But now, it’s imperative.

This is the way to make Putin squeal. (And why Biden will never do it.)

LIKE SARGENT MOM, I AM RESOLUTELY AGAINST US INVOLVEMENT:  The Bodyguard of Lies.

We have problems right here to deal with.  Foreign policy? Well, if I had the power to set that (and we should all be very glad I don’t) my policy for the US would be “Don’t start none, won’t be none.” It would be followed up closely by “F*ck around and find out.” I.e. attack the US in any way shape or form, and we just might assemble a committee of bored Americans and they might just say “Hey, hold my beer and watch this.”  And the beer would have a nuclear tip. (Which is why we should all be very glad I don’t have the power to set foreign policy. I mean, really, how much blue glass does the world need?)

IN CASES SUCH AS THIS, A GOOD MEMORY IS INDISPENSABLE:  The New York Times Hasn’t Always Cared About Ukrainians.

THIS IS WHY IF THE LEFT IS GOING TO REVERSE ITSELF ON VACCINES:  Canada’s trucker convoy may be over, but the problems are hardly over for the truckers – and for the rest of us.

If they’re going — like that — to pretend this never happened; if they’re not going to admit that last week they were still trying to Karen everyone; if they are going to attempt to continue their barrage of lies, they must kneel and apologize to the Canadian truckers. And to everyone else.

Now.

And then they must admit they’re faithless, spinless, brainless shitweasels who should never come within shouting distance of the levers of power, and who should be laughed out of the room if they so much as run for dog catcher.

That is the only way to preserve civilization.

WHILE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FEAR THE PEOPLE:  Another Fence to be Built Around the Capitol Ahead of Biden State of the Union Address.

Using tax money extorted from We the People to protect themselves against what in their heart of hearts they know to be our justified and just anger is mind-boggling.  Not one cent for fences. Not one cent for National Guard mobilization. Not one cent for Capitol police.

Does the Junta want to feel like they’re safe from our wrath? Stop conducting themselves in a way that justifies our wrath. That is all.

At least Trump hired his own bodyguards.

THESE ARE NOT SERIOUS PEOPLE:  Department of Interior to Change Names of Over 600 Sites to Remove the Word ‘Squaw’.

It’s time for the American people to send each and every one of these departments/agencies/federal excrescences pink slips. “You are no longer needed. We don’t believe you’re contributing anything to the welfare or safety of this nation. Learn to code.”

THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE REVERSING THEMSELVES ON THE COVIDIOCY:  Who Is Responsible for the Death of Matthew Perna?

THIS WAS COOKED UP BETWEEN THE BRANDON JUNTA AND PUTIN:  Some Subversive Thoughts On Ukraine.

The Junta thought they’d let Putin take Ukraine, it would be easy. And Putin would destroy the evidence of Biden malfeasance.  But of course nothing goes according to their plan and the right did not defend Putin — why would they think we would? oh, yeah, they believe their own lies — and now they’ve painted themselves into a corner. Just as Putin did.

The wages of being divorced from reality.

CORRUPT, YES.  AUTHORITARIAN, DEFINITELY. BUT DO THEY HAVE TO ALSO BE STUPID?  FEMA: If Faced With Nuclear Explosion, Wear a Mask and Maintain Social Distancing Recommendations.

I think it’s time to examine if a lot of the departments, agencies, groups and who knows what that the federal department has accrued since FDR are really, really needed.  In fact, it’s time and past time to prune the Federal government to the strictest possible interpretation of its constitutional mandate, and reserve all other power to the states and — particularly — individuals.

That great a concentration of power by nature attracts the corrupt and the deranged. Enough.

TRIALS. AND AT THE VERY LEAST PUBLIC FLOGGINGS:  NYC Mayor Eric Adams Plans to Drop Vaccine Mandate, Masks in Schools.

I am serious. If we let them get away with making people take part in a vast trial for an untried (and the more it’s tried, the worse it fares) therapy, if there are no consequences, then we owe an apology to a bunch of dead Nazis. And I have no intention of apologizing to Nazis.

Worse, the next thing they come up with to try to stay seated and propagate their crazy, non-functional ideology will be even more stupid and harmful. They must be held to account. And if no one with power punishes them, we must revile them, mock them, and never let them forget they are criminals and the worst possible kind of scum.

RACIALISM IS A MENTAL ILLNESS:  Small Twitter Account Upstages Nikole Hannah-Jones After Her Bizarre Ukraine Hot Take.

She can’t possibly have always been this stupid, right?

HE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW:  Shapiro REACTS to SNL’s Insane COVID Hypocrisy Skit.

Go apologize to the Canadian truckers. On your knees, you hypocritical bastards.

And the worst part, you know this is coming. Not in ten years, not in five; in two months. In two months they’ll tell us they were the ones on the side of freedom. And what’s worse? They’ll believe it.

But the worst part?  People over the world, following our corrupt technocrats lead, shut down, made themselves ill, made themselves paupers. People starved. People died of untreated disease. Businesses failed. Families were broken up. People died alone, and their relatives were denied the comfort of a funeral.

All of it, all of it so that the left could steal the election and install Brandon the wonder animated corpse and his side kick, the cackle that gaffes. And now to make that dynamic duo look better (Oh, please, there isn’t enough morticians wax!) they’ll completely reverse everything. And that’s fine. And they expect to get away with it.

We should have trials, right here, in this country, of every person complicit in these crimes, starting with Fauci, who more and more appears to have been cloned from the desiccated penis of Josef Mengele.  And the rest of the world needs to take a deep, long look in the mirror, and realize that yes, America is pretty amazing, but the American Media and the American Left are not America. In fact, for most of them there are serious doubts they’re even American. At least where it counts, in the cultural software running in their heads, they’re sure as heck no longer our countrymen.

Yes, I am angry. I’m very angry. And I’m not alone. They won’t like us when we’re angry.

I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION ABOUT THIS:  Recent photo of Russian President Vladimir Putin suggests that there’s something to all those rumors that he’s losing what’s left of his mind.

Does he own a white, fuzzy cat?

OH, WE DO, WE DO:  Stacey Abrams: Americans Should ‘Legitimately Question’ the Election System.

Just not in a way she’d like.

No more same day registration, no vote harvesting, no vote by mail.  One day voting. Paper voting. Purple fingers. All vote counting to be done on camera and in full view of observers of all parties, plus anyone who wants to see. If cameras are off/no observers present? Those votes can’t be counted.

The end.

SO FIRST BLAKE POWERS GOT HIT BY LIGHTNING: And then his computer died, which is why he hasn’t been communicating and posting updates.  If you can help him at all, hit his fundraiser  A New Life.

At GiveSendGo, of course, the only reputable site left for these things. (Even if I hope they’re shoring up their defenses. I’m sure they are.)
UPDATE: Link corrected.

IF THEY WARP TIME CAN WE GET A RE-DO ON THE LAST TWO YEARS?  Supermassive black holes will smash into each other and warp space and time, scientists warn.

TRUE. WE’VE KNOWN THAT FOR SOME TIME:  We Need Non-inflationary Cash.

Getting there is the issue.

LOOK, IF I’VE SAID THIS ONCE, I’VE SAID IT A MILLION TIMES: COMMUNISTS ARE EXCOMMUNICATED:  Pope Francis Promotes a “Cultural Revolution” Against Climate Skeptic US Bishops.

The excommunication of communists has never been rescinded. Excommunicated people cannot be popes. Can we stop with the crazy charade now? Because the adults are getting fairly tired of this nonsense.
