Good morning.  I assume y’all have heard about the Fulton County Trump grand jury forewoman’s grand and bizarre media tour?


The good news is that this will give Trump’s lawyers solid ground for moving to dismiss any indictments, based on grand jury misconduct. The bad news is it further demonstrates what a fucking banana republic we have become.

Enough has been written about the odd circumstances of this grand jury to make it questionable whether it was even gathered according to the law. So the antics of the forewitch aren't that surprising.

Why do I bother to post here on weekdays? Everyone is gone before I show up.

I think it's a couple of things: 

  • Despite the fact that many of us are news junkies, we're exhausted keeping up. 
  • There are enough conservative leaning sites out there now that we can find commentary that matches our positions. So we're more likely to post that commentary rather than write our own here. 
  • We are all so incredibly busy with life and work while also being so frustrated at where our country has been pushed. 

What did I miss besides QAnon, Rosecrucians, and Templars?

Having spent the last month teaching my kids about post Civil War US politics, I've come to conclusion we've always been a banana republic.

The local governments won't do the job so business hire private security.

How's that going?

Good thing the adults are back in charge, right?


Vanity Fair published glossy photo of Sam Brinton... wearing clothes he stole from a Tanzanian woman (it was in her luggage, which he stole).

Given the admins response to the New Palestine derailment.

Imagine Sam handling a nuclear accident.

Now that is nightmare fuel.

Ok - that was weird.  I posted and then all kind of strange things happened - opening in a new window, being rerouted to the About page and a new tab opening.

That alone might give me a reason to start drinking coffee just so I can avoid sleep.

Let me know if that happens again. That sounds like the kind of suspicious activity that might require a security check.

Speaking of Sammy Boy.

Notice the lack of media..... if that had been a Trump official it would be a media circus.

Automated marijuana vending machine opens in Colorado | kens5.com

I don't smoke, but this has to anger all the cigarette smokers.  Cigarette machines are illegal now, but not pot?

Maybe he was already involved in one. That would explain a lot.

truly, if you had predicted this insane clown five years ago  as being an appointee by a democratic administration, nobody would’ve believed you. We live in Heinlein’s crazy years.

Very crazy. A Biden nominee for a human rights post was forced to be withdrawn, and they Jew-haters of the world claim it was due to his Jew hatred. But somehow, I think his calling Biden a "senile gaffe machine" had more to do with it.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the woke-ish gods they made
And the sign flashed its warning
In the words it was forming
And the sign said the pronouns of your gender are written in your DNA
Not your thoughts
Echoed the sounds of science
