  1. 21st-Century America:
    Should a person comes to save you and/or your property from burning up, why it’s only right and proper that that you should first ascertain whether that person is ideologically sound.

    (And should that person be an ideological UNTOUCHABLE, it’s far preferable to consign yourself and your property to the flames…. Some things are simply non-negotiable.)

  2. Americans ARE scary:

    “AMERICANS
    Willing to cross a frozen river to kill you.
    In your sleep.
    On Christmas.
    Totally NOT kidding.
    We’ve done it.”

  3. Lie for me, baby…come ON, baby, LIE for me…
    I know you still love me…you’ve done it before…you can do it again…I know you can…you LOVE me, I KNOW you do…come ON BABY, LIE FOR ME!…

    “White House braces for grim news on economy;
    “Senior administration officials are hitting the airwaves and arm-twisting reporters in private, imploring anyone who will listen that the economy is still healthy.”—

  5. Meanwhile Yellen keeps yellin’ like the Red Queen, but Peter Schiff is having NONE OF IT…
    “…The White House Recession Denial”—
    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/peter-schiff-white-house-recession-denial
    Key grafs:
    ‘…[T]he White House has come up with an interesting way to deny the recession reality. Just change the definition of a recession…
    ‘…[Laura] Ingraham…called the Biden administration’s wordplay “a perfect distillation of modern leftism.”
    ‘ “When you’re losing, just change the rules of the game, then declare victory.”
    ‘…Peter pointed out that the government already changed the definition of inflation from “an expansion of the money supply” to “prices going up.”
    ‘ “So, they may as well change the definition of recession….
    ‘During her interview on Meet the Press, Yellen said a recession wasn’t two quarters of negative GDP. She said it was a broad-based economic slowdown. Peter said that’s exactly what we’ve got.
    ‘ “The auto industry is in recession. The housing industry is in recession. Retail is in recession. Advertising is in recession. So many unrelated segments of the economy are in recession — how you can’t say this is a broad-based slowdown — it doesn’t make any sense. And in fact, it’s going to get a lot worse in the third quarter and then probably the fourth quarter as well.”…

  6. Delightful young woman. I think I heard that she lives in South Korea now. I hope so. This video would not go well for her if she lives in North Korea. Actually it would not go well for her if she was on an American university campus.

  7. She thought Americans are scary . . not only North Koreans (I’m presuming she’s somewhat typical, with respect to their impressions of Americans), but liberal and left wing bubble-dwelling “Americans” [hmmm] across the board who believe what their masters have been teaching them, regarding what I’ll call us normal Americans.

  8. My wife and I have been creating some art studies using some inexpensive security cameras and very limited free software. We are experimenting to see if this justifies more expensive cameras and software.

    Here are two studies to capture the lighting effects of twilight on the estuary due the mixing of fresh and salt water. The first 01:47 and the second 03:17 in length.

  9. Chases Eagles,

    Not sure what you’re looking for, but they were certainly interesting to watch. At around 0:57 seconds in on the first video something seems to slowly sweep across the water, then another sweep, then another. It’s a change in light, but also, maybe wind speed and/or direction, or something else (sea water or fresh water moving in)? It doesn’t seem to be a change in light from the sun setting behind the hills.
