I'm getting a late start today, but man, that breakfast looks amazing to me. I swear I ate, but second breakfast sounds like a really good idea now.

Massive resistance

Democrats court the approval of their cadres with calls for resistance and insurrection. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker chooses his words carefully, but you get the message. It’s time to rumble. In Pritzker’s case, we should recognize it as a call for massive resistance. Pritzker not only fears no condemnation, he seeks to distinguish himself among Democrats looking for a leader.

Truth (talking about Pritzker suggesting Democrats should mobilize and protest Republicans at every opportunity): 

"It's a safe bet that Pritzker won't be mobilizing himself — the dude is one Chicago Italian beef sandwich away from exploding like Mr. Creosote in 'Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.' Yeah, I'm doing fat digs here because Pritzker's bad*** shtick is in desperate need of a reality check. He's a privileged rich boy from the family that owns the Hyatt Hotels who fancies himself a champion of poor minorities."

Anytime you can work in a reference to Monty Python work has a good chance of being accurate.

I'm guessing this is a complete inversion of what really happened:  L.A. Drops Charges for Hamas Rioters, Charges 2 Jews Instead

They couldn't arrest Netanyahu so they grab the closet Jews available.

In #7 JCM said: They couldn't arrest Netanyahu so they grab the closet Jews available.

Yes, that sounds about right.

Secure accurate polling would get in the way of fraud.

The. Canadian election results are, in part, an own-goal by Trump.

His own mouth can be his worst enemy.

No more sympathy for Canadians, just like I have none for The People of Seattle. They say they don't like the way things are but vote for more of the same.

Report: Russia has lost about 10K tanks in the Ukraine war, and is running out of tanks


Well, maybe.

More reliable source estimates 4000 tank loses, and 14,000 of other armored types of vehicles.

This estimate would be about half of the T-80 have been lost, hard to determine because pre-war inventory is hard to determined.

The human estimates are gastly,
