ONE OF THOSE WOMEN WHO DIDN’T EXIST IN SCIENCE FICTION UNTIL THE 2000s!  Happy Birthday, Leigh Brackett!

HE’S A ROLE MODEL FOR CONSERVATIVE LEADERS WORLD-WIDE:  My TCW week in review: Thank God for Donald Trump.

FIRST USAID, NOW NARCOTERRORISTS – HOW ARE THE DEMS SUPPOSED TO FUND THEIR PARTY?  Democratic Lawmakers Big Mad That Trump Admin Is Fighting Narco-Terrorists.

… At this rate they won’t be able to afford the fraud that keeps them afloat.

ONLY ABOUT 75% (BUT THEY ALL OPPOSE ACCURATE INSTRUCTION IN AMERICAN HISTORY):  Guess How Many Democrats Voted Against Protecting Our Schools From Chinese Influence.

BUT I WAS ASSURED THIS WOULDN’T HAPPEN:   Real Americans, Real Jobs, Real Results – Deportation Wave Hits Louisiana and Phones Won’t Stop Ringing.

I CAN VOUCH FOR UNIVERSAL HATRED OF 11:  Pinker has been plugging his book on common knowledge lately, and it just collided in my head with another interesting development; the apparently growing revolt against Windows 11 among long-term Microsoft customers. I haven’t read the book yet, but I’m pretty sure that one of the things that Pinker must talk about in it is sudden legitimacy collapses in totalitarian societies.

But as a non-techy, I don’t want Linux. The rest of the family has gone thataway, but for me the computer is a glorified typewriter and I don’t want to fiddle with it.

X-cancel link.

THEY STILL HAVEN’T LEARNED THAT YOU CAN’T STOP THE SIGNAL:  Give Them an Inch and They will Take a Mile.

THE GREATEST EVERYTHING IN HISTORY HAVE BEEN… QUIRKY:  The great military leaders of the past have been … quirky.

MORE ON THE RAPE GANGS:   The evil of the grooming gangs is finally being exposed.

HER IGNORANCE IS ONLY MATCHED BY HER UNPLEASANTNESS:  Ilhan Omar compares Stephen Miller, who is Jewish, to Nazis in Germany as she lashes out against Somali immigrant crackdown.

Once more, Ilhan, the Nazis were so far from throwing the Jewish people out of Germany, they kept them from leaving until they could kill them. Sheesh.

NO. ALSO NO:   Greenpeace Asks a Dutch Court to Reverse an American Verdict. The group wants to use European law as a shield to disrupt American infrastructure projects.

AS ALWAYS I DOUBT THAT GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION CAN MAKE THINGS BETTER:   Trump signs executive order creating food supply chain task forces to address ‘anti-competitive behavior’.

SOME THINGS ARE BAD. THEY JUST ARE:   Tearing Down Chesterson’s Fence — and Putting It Back Up Again?  My week as a “professional” sports gambler.

THE MUPPET THING NOTWITHSTANDING, NEVER FORGET:  Eleven Remain.

SOME GOOD POINTS:  “Affordability”.

SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED:  Study: Palestinian Textbooks Continue to Teach Jew Hatred, Promote Jihad Terrorism.

THE EW IS STRONG IN THIS ONE:  DAILY ART FIX: Photos of Epstein’s Home Show Creepy Room Filled With Masks.

FOR THOSE TO BE TRUTHFUL, THEY’D GO ALL THE WAY BACK, AND NEVER END:  Land Conquest and the Absurdity of Land Acknowledgement.

By right of conquest, it’s a thing.

THIS SHOULD EXIST:  Muppet Pearl Harbor.

INDEED:

It was suicide by a group of scientist who wanted to be politicians and celebrities.
