I’M SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED. BEHOLD MY SHOCKED FACE:  Washington State Experience Shows Green Energy Is All About the Grifting and the Bragging and Does Nothing for Which It Was Intended.

APPLE FOUND SOMETHING TO BAN:  Thou shalt not mock the woke. Apple Music deleted Holly Valance’s satirical song, thereby proving why it was so necessary.

This is the video. Shame if it went viral:  Holly Valance – Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse [Official Music Video].

THE POST I COULDN’T FIND YESTERDAY:  Hi there. Former Intel guy who is also a former law enforcement guy here. If Gabbard is on scene, it means that the FBI has found a foreign/counterintelligence nexus to the investigation into the 2020 election in Georgia; otherwise they’d be reporting to Bondi and DOJ.

And for the X-cancelled.

THERE ARE SOME IDIOT IDEAS I’M TIRED OF:  Men And Chains.

FROM CAROLINE FURLONG:  The Guardian Cycle, Vol.1: In Dreams and Other Stories.

#CommissionEarned

A man whose debts must be paid by vengeance. A woman desperate to save her husband. A grieving father finding a young enemy soldier on his veritable doorstep…

These fantasy and soft sci-fi stories wonder whether or not heroes need families. Are we not told that families slow the hero down? Is it not typically implied that they get in the way of the adventure? Are they a burden, or truly the greatest strength from which the hero and those he loves can draw?

Six tales in this collection center on family, faith, and self-sacrificing love as men and women fight for the ones whom they hold most dear. Whether the enemy is inner turmoil, a nightmare, or a demon really does not matter. If the threat seeks to harm a member of the family, it is going to pay dearly.

WELL AMAZON’S PROGRAM HAS BEEN SUPER-GLITCHY RECENTLY….  Insider report from Amazon layoffs sees only Americans laid off on his team in the past 2 RIFs. H-1Bs keep their jobs while Americans are laid off. How can that be possible? Fyi, these were the same level/experience engineers.

And for the x-cancelled.

I wonder how many of the programmers in the company still speak English.

THEY THINK THEMSELVES KINGS:  Widespread failure across nearly every level of leadership in Minnesota: Public programs fraud on the scale we see today— of which Ilhan Omar is Somali Fraud Exhibit A—indicates a leadership class that has either forgotten or no longer takes seriously the idea that public office is a public trust.

SOMEONE ON TWITTER SAID IF GABBARD IS INVOLVED THERE’S FOREIGN INVOLVEMENT: I couldn’t find that link as a follow on to this one.  Trump: You found many bags of information. I think they call them burn bags. They did not get burned. Having to do with how corrupt the 2020 election was.  Gabbard: I will be the first to brief you once we have that information collected but you are right, we are finding documents literally tucked away…

And for the Exiles of X

THE ONLY THING SCARIER* THAN A “HELLO” FROM DATA REPUBLICAN IS A “TIC TOC” FROM DATA REPUBLICAN:  If you visit the StopICE license plate tracker, you will note all their plates have been overwritten with the following image:

THERE’S NOTHING SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THIS, NOTHING AT ALL, ANYBODY SAYING OTHERWISE IS RACISSSSST:  It’s a Question Everyone Is Asking About the Ilhan Omar Syringe Attack…and I Can See Why.

THAT’S BECAUSE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS GONE COMPLETELY INSANE:  What the Dems Reportedly Want Regarding Future ICE Arrests Is Totally Insane.
