SO ANYONE CAN FIX ME WITH A FAKE ONE?   Vaccination Passports Are Coming Soon.

Because even if I break down and get the vaccine — not for the foreseeable — I will not get the stupid paper. Any real American should fake one.

REWRITING THE PAST:   NBCUniversal is scrubbing racist scenes from WWE matches.

“Racist.”

“I hear Bad News Brown, how he’s talking about Harlem, and how he’s proud to be from Harlem,” Piper said during the pre-match interview, which was also removed from the service. “Now I can stand here, and I can be black! I can be white! Don’t make no difference to me. … It’s what’s inside.”

I come from this parallel universe where saying you don’t care about skin color, only what is inside is the opposite of racism.  It was a lovely place. I’d go back if only I could find the way.

SOMETIMES I LOSE MY MIND AND WRITE VERY SILLY SHORT STORIES ON MY BLOG:  On the Other Tentacle.

No, most of my fiction isn’t this saccharine.  Only the short shorts on my blog, usually written because I need to cheer myself up.

FROM AMANDA S. GREEN: Jaguar Rising,

Life changed for Mackenzie Santos more than a decade ago when she woke on a slab in the morgue. If that wasn’t bad enough, then she started turning furry.

And that was just the beginning of the changes in her life and in the world around her.

Since then, Mac’s life has been filled with more twists and turns than a roller coaster. Her responsibilities as cop, mother, pride alpha and member of the Tribunal mean she’s seen the best and worst in both the human and paranormal worlds. . . and the worst is yet to come. It seems someone plans to celebrate her promotion with a real bang!

A monster stalks the streets of Dallas, It has targeted Mac and those close to her. Worse, this “monster” knows her. It spent years studying her, learning her strengths and weaknesses. Worse, it isn’t afraid of harming innocents in its quest to get to her.

Mac will do whatever it takes to bring down this new threat because failure means more than just death. It means all-out war between humans and paras.

THEY’RE TRYING TO STEAL AMERICA, IS WHAT HAPPENED:  Throw back Thursday.

But being dim, and progressive, they are, of course, confusing the wrapper for the thing again.  We The People ain’t going nowhere. And we’ve just started pushing back.

NO. THEY’RE NOT:  Is anybody listening???

And it’s time we start ignoring and disobeying people who think they can legislate scientific advances.

ACTUALLY THERE IS NOTHING TO DISPUTE. THE FICUS IS ZHOE BAI DEN, CHINESE VICE-ROY OF THE US:  Our Manchurian President.

IT’S ALREADY HAPPENING: American Exodus.

And he’s wrong on several things. First, put we can’t put our faith in elections, now. But also he doesn’t get and never got Trump or those who voted for him. More importantly, he makes the classical mistake of thinking the republic is gone because our institutions have been taken over — for a hundred years, give or take, to be honest — by foreign agents, and are now in a total state of corruption. But the institutions are not the nation. We the people are the nation. And the very fact we’ve resisted 100 years of indoctrination means he’s seriously underestimating We The People. And the ultimate strength of the republic. Of course, he’s also underestimating the butcher’s bill restoring the republic will carry. Ah, well. He’s an intellectual. But one thing he’s absolutely right on. The left has dropped their masks. We’ve seen the horror beneath. They can’t hide again. They won’t endure.

YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT WHEN YOU CLEAN UP THE TOWN: This Is No Time To Ride Into The Sunset.

Does our metaphorical town look clean to you, or are the weasels in full control? Right.  No. Riding. Into. The. Sunset.
