  1. It should now be clear to all Americans by now. Today’s Left is populated with insane and evil people and there is no reconciling with them. Let’s count the ways:

    – Support of Hamas
    – Support of CAGW
    – Support of trans for kids
    – Support of BLM
    – Support for open borders
    – Support for lowering the age of consent
    – Support for massive government spending that leads to ruinous inflation
    – Support of porn in school libraries
    – Support for legalization of pot
    – Support for election cheating

    If I have left anything out, feel free to add.

    The Democrat party hates America and is destroying it.

  2. So far , I have planted Collards, Turnips and Spinach for winter greens. A little late, perhaps, on the calendar, but summer went on and on and there were still a lot of grasshoppers about and , well time management issues. Hope to plant some more.
    A package of seeds for any of these plants is fairly cheap for the number of seeds, they are so small and you can freeze the leftover seeds, to varying effect, for next year. Read up on that, if you will. Not equally effective for all types of plants.
    I encourage people to grow what they can in their yard, while avoiding old fence lines and next to decks that may have used the old Arsenic treated lumber. Also, right next to foundations should maybe be avoided on older houses when growing greens.

  3. There are going to be a lot of cold people when they shut down NG and Coal. Germany is starting to figure out that Coal is not so bad.
    Viewing the video shows that Climate is always changing, despite what some say. Nothing is static in Nature.
    I will stay away from Israel right now. Just too depressing. Things are going to much worse. The US could get drawn into this. With the “leadership” we have I don’t hold out hope that our response will be that good. A lot of Bad Actors will get in on the chaos.

  4. There are some people, due to certain medicines, are not supposed to eat a lot of some types of greens.

  5. Harvard University has finally made an official statement regarding all the 30 student groups who seem to be offering full throated support for rape, murder, and desecration of the dead bodies of children, babies, and the elderly. It’s sort of a twisted, bizarre sign of our times that so many utter fools rush to proudly defend the indefensible. Affluence breeds idiocy I guess.

  6. I love the press and the administration’s use of the word “direct”. Of course, there’s no “direct” participation of Iran in the war; Iran is not that stupid. However, I guess the administration and the press think we are.

  7. Physicsguy,
    Obama-Biden went silent until they conferred amongst themselves and decided to

    Throw hamas under the tank
    Try to build a firebreak around Iran to save them (save Iran that is).

  8. New front opening up with Hezbollah in northern Israel right now. Incoming drones etc from Lebanon.

  9. For those few commenters here who think DeSantis is “GOP establishment,” please note that the real GOPe, personified by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, held a strategy session in Park City, Utah. Guests were Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, and Doug Bergum. NOT, please note, DeSantis or Ramasawmy.

  10. One thing we may have been able to learn of late (although one should already have CLEARLY understood this during Obama v1.0) is that ALLIES gotta help each other out…especially in times of need….
    “…Biden administration denying Iran involvement in Hamas attack in effort to seal Nuclear Deal”—

    …And where would one be without Tayyip “Muslims have never committed massacres” Erdogan…?
    “Turkey’s Erdogan calls Israeli response to Hamas in Gaza a ‘massacre’;
    “Speaking to his ruling AK Party in parliament, Erdogan said even war had a “morality” but the flare-up since the weekend had “very severely” violated that.”

  11. Jimmy @ 2:00: “A young woman took matters into her own hands.” Thanks. A too-rare success story. Big kudos to Inbar Lieberman and her fellow defenders.

  12. Barry Meislin, the link to the original article by Robert Spencer, complete with links to the Qur’anic verses which Hamas and Fatah cite.

    (I have in my possession a parallel Arabic-English Qur’an, with footnotes to the hadith, given to my husband when an employee of his came back from a pilgrimage to Mecca. I have cross-checked books by Robert Spencer to this authoritative source. When Spencer cites Islamic sources, he is always correct according to their own authorities.)

  13. Medieval times

    In my past (performing troop, yada) one might figure at one point I’d been in the Society for Creative Anachronism and you’d be right. To me it was just another place to costume out. To some it was a ‘living the dream’ sort of thing. Heard a number of times how great it would be to live back then. Very amusing.

    For levity:

    SCA has weekend and week long events. A group of four or five couples of us caravaned our way to Somewhere, Nebraska. We don’t bother to take normal clothes, just the ‘attire’. We do, however, stop for gas and eats.

    We stopped at McDonald’s and went inside. Sniggering from some country boys (we had our own, they were just in jerkins). Our men got up and went to the cars and helped each other suit up, then re-entered in full armor sans helmets.

    No more sniggering. We finished and left quietly.

    But what hey. If the offal was flung and hit the spinning blades, would you rather brawl with or without armor?

    🙂

  14. Well, that didn’t work – misspelled your name and the emoji didn’t copy.
    The intended message was, “Well done!”

  15. @ physicsguy: There was also no “direct” participation of Joe in the Biden Crime Family affairs until — Son of a gun! — suddenly there was evidence.

  16. Well, Snow on Pine got me back to walking the fringe beat… Here’s some great, new Bigfoot footage.

    Best to go to the Facebook link and click through the images:

    So, unless there is a human hoaxster in a Bigfoot suit hanging out near railroad tracks from several hundred yards away hoping to prank train passengers, well….

    There’s also a recent sighting of the Loch Ness Monster, less persuasive but interesting.

    Curse you, Snow on Pine! 🙂

  17. huxley—

    You’re welcome.

    I’m betting that in the coming months and years we will find out that the comfortable and comforting consensus Reality we all generally subscribe to and live within is actually far larger, far more complicated, and far stranger than most of us want it to be.
