  • NASCAR continues its downfall

    So, the Coca Cola 600–one of the premier races of the year, is not going to be televised. It’s going to be streamed on Prime Video. I punted Prime a while back because I rarely order from Amazon anymore and, even when I did, shipping became lax and the famous two day gratification would stretch… Continue reading

  • Financial FAFO

    In another fuck up by the Biden Admin (yes, I too have lost count), the law of possibly unintended consequences has reared its head. People who defaulted on their student loans have now had that particular malfeasance reported. And so their credit scores, AKA social-score-lite, have taken hefty hits and now the screaming has begun.… Continue reading

  • HHS backing off on covid shots for kids is long overdue

    Word on the ‘net is that the HHS/FDA/CDC are going to remove the covid shots for kids and pregnant women from its ‘recommendation’. Right now the CDC wants anyone older than six months–SIX MONTHS to get to the covid shots. The CDC stuck with its recommendations until now despite credible warnings from Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph… Continue reading

  • 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
