Yesterday Was D-Day 81st Anniversary…
This was an interesting short piece. It is a firsthand account of getting ready and landing on the beaches written by the author’s father. This was back when a normal everyday man was tough and manly. Snowflakes and they/thems were the exceptions.
We would do well to encourage the former and shun the latter.
This story pretty much dominated the news cycle all week. It is drama queen nonsense not worthy of commenting on other than to speak about the “Big Beautiful Bill”.
Elon does not like it and neither do I. I oppose omnibus type legislation in general and have for years. Laws should be passed on their individual merit. This one is not very different from any of the others passed over the last couple of decades. It increases the debt and fails to cut much fat.
Having said that, it does stop tax increases and paves the way for future (hopefully significant) spending cuts. It also will likely help the economy grow. Economic growth combined with spending cuts is movement in the right direction. It is most likely going to pass.
I’m trying to be cautiously optimistic.
An Illustration on the Topic of the National Debt…
Stop spending money.
Chinese Operatives Caught Importing Crop Fungus…
Several “experts” have come out saying the fungus is not that big of a deal because it has been present in America for over 100 years and there are mechanisms in place to detect and mitigate its effects.
Maybe so. But these experts don’t know what particular strain of fungus this is, and they don’t know what these researchers were planning on doing with it. Remember the phrase “gain of function”?
I think this was nothing short of an attempted genocide. The Chinese are at war with us. They plan to defeat us without engaging in a shooting war. Bioterrorism and other nefarious sabotage type actions could put us on our collective knees pretty quickly. We need to acknowledge this and act accordingly.
These Chinese agents need to be in military custody and face military interrogation and military justice. And when they’re found guilty, they need to be executed. And then we should dump their corpses in the South China Sea.
As for the five divisions (approximately 30,000) of Chinese fifth columnists who’ve snuck across the border over the last four years, they need to be the top priority for deportation (or military prosecution, depending on the individual case).
Nine Crucial Cases for SCOTUS This Month…
Some are sexier than others, but they all have profound implications. The author does a good job of summarizing each case and how the decisions could affect us without being longwinded.
USS Harvey Milk to be Renamed…
Naming the ship after a well-known pedophile was an insult to the Navy and all servicemen and women. It is high time to rename it.
This could be a nothingburger or it could be huge and have international implications. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
I’m less concerned about Fauci than I am the administration’s reluctance to fully disclose the JFK and Epstein information which they explicitly promised to do. The longer they wait, the less trust I have in them or the integrity of the information.
Reminder That Zelensky is Just as Bad as Putin (or worse)…
If you are a Christian, you must not support the current oligarchy running Ukraine. They are trying to destroy the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Etna Popping and Yellowstone Bubbling…
Neither event is that unusual. Etna is in an almost constant state of eruption, and Yellowstone is always active as well. But both have the potential for doom and gloom. Interesting topic.
Escaped Rapist/Murderer Captured in Arkansas.
He’s been dubbed “the devil in the Ozarks”. He was a former police chief of a small town, and he was convicted of murder. After he was arrested for the murder, it was found that his DNA matched a rape suspect from the 1990’s. He was convicted of that as well.
He escaped a couple of weeks ago, but they found him using tracking dogs earlier this week.
Apparently, she’s a musician of sorts.
He’s lucky to be alive.
Interesting Observation/Life Hack…
The creator of “Dilbert” has an interesting theory.
