So when with the Biden administration and other leftists criticize them for not respecting democracy?

Wearing, of course, gay apparel.

I believe he has his shows at the Chinese restaurant Wei Hung, which specializes in Sum Yung Gai

But then, the name of the Chinese restaurant where my relatives would "go Chink's" was Ho Sai Gai, which also would be a name for such a place.

In the Diversity-Equity Era
We escaped from the feminists’ wrath
By promoting their sisters in science
Without making them suffer with math 
But the bridges they built didn’t stand up
And the airplanes they built couldn’t fly
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:
“With DEI, you DIE.”

They're going into meltdowns here about the coming weather.  So what?  It's winter, for crying out loud.  You get cold, you get rain/snow-‐-that's what winter is.

If covid wasn't enough for you to prove CDC is now another hack deepstate political arm of the DNC.

This story I missed should convince you.

Republicans Trick People Into Reading Spending Bill By Naming It 'Harry Potter And The $1.7 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill'

"Oh, there's a new Harry Potter book?!" Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez exclaimed when she heard about the bill's new title. "I can't wait to read every page and find out all about what Harry and his friends are up to with this omnibus spending bill!"

At publishing time, with the trick proving so successful, GOP members of Congress were making plans to use it in the future. Potential titles of future bloated spending bills rumored to be under consideration include The Lion, The Witch, & The Pork-Filled Spending Bill, Indiana Jones & The Pacification of Special Interest Groups, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six-Trillion-Dollar Slush Fund.

The freakout is somewhat understandable in the South. A lot of homes here aren't properly insulated, and not everyone owns a lot of warm clothing.

OK, I'll grant you that---though such weather incidents are by no means unknown in the South.  But in NYC?   Please.

It's hilarious to see that even as the Left is soiling its drawers because a little Arctic weather decided to go south for the winter, the Left is yammering about how the biodiversity of the Antarctic is being threatened because of some alleged decrease in the Southern ice shelves.

The penguins et.al. have been dealing with weather vagaries for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years---yet the climate cultists are running around with their hair on fire.

Oh, no, we can't have that--that will create carbon pollution. /

Morning for me, campers. Had a bad night of sleep and slept in. I'm only now getting into the groove of the day, and I have a report to work on that isn't for work but is for government. Lucky me.

Absolutely. No issues at all. Be sure to include what kind of deadline we're dealing with so I can plan my time accordingly.

The domain name renewal is a week; maybe another week for the hosting account. But there is some kind of sale, I think, but they did not say when it ends.

Thanks

I'm listening to the wind howl outside and seeing the temperature listed at -2°. I'm staying in.

I actually have errands I could run, but my current car sucks on snowy unplowed roads.

That's true in California as well.  I'm glad I can afford a few warm things.
