  • And that’s the way it’s done

    In California, a girl was knocked into second place when a boy who is being allowed to play in girls’ sport beat her in the long jump by FOUR FEET. After the boy left the podium, Reese Hogan moved to the number 1 spot (where she should have been all along) and took her moment… Continue reading

  • The Hur tapes

    I listened to the Hur tapes with Biden. It’s pretty clear that he is suffering from dementia and that everyone around him was covering for him, probably in order to stay in power. Because they had the power of the ‘autopen’ and a phone, to paraphrase Obama. That said, they shouldn’t have taken a pass… Continue reading

  • Why do Congressional Dems and the Judiciary want the US to be in debt?

    This is something that caught my eye: Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration’s $11 Billion Public Health Grant Cuts Then there was the cartoon character Rep making sure that HHS was going to spend every single dime that they gave them: I always thought that the power of the purse included making sure that money was… Continue reading

  • Looks like the government of South Africa is panicking

    The Deputy President of South Africa has started a media blitz saying that the White Afrikaners are ‘happy to stay’ and that they aren’t being killed in their beds (he didn’t actually say that, but the thought was there). All they need is to work with the government and they’ll take care of the issues… Continue reading

  • Anthropology can get you thrown in jail

    A woman in Brazil is being investigated for ‘criminal transphobia’. Why? Because she said that you can tell women from men by looking at their bones, specifically the pelvic bones. “The situation was, there was an article going around about the bones belonging to the fossil of Lucy, and how the archaeologists found out that… Continue reading

  • Best display I’ve seen—Well played local High School

    I was at a local small town high school last week. One of the displays caught my eye. It had a title of: “See your future”. It had a mirror in it surrounded by various post-graduation options represented by emblems and icons. What struck me was the fact that, although there were colleges included, there… Continue reading

  • CERN, the Gold Machine

    Scientists used CERN to turn lead into gold. Between 2015 and 2018, the LHC produced approximately 86 billion gold atoms. While this number appears staggering, the total mass amounts to just 29 picograms—less than a trillionth of a gram. To put this into perspective, creating even a minuscule piece of jewelry would require trillions of… Continue reading

  • South African refugees

    I guess you have to be a certain color for liberals to get on board when a person is fleeing their country, even when you’re at risk of being brutally murdered and your land taken by the government to give to someone else a la Zimbabwe. The Episcopal Church is refusing to help resettle them… Continue reading
