OH MY: Maduro’s Ex-Insider Turns Snitch, Sends Trump an Explosive Letter. “Hugo ‘El Pollo’ Carvajal Barrios is an ex-military intelligence officer for the Venezuelan government and was a powerful official within Maduro’s Cartel de los Soles. Today, he’s in U.S. custody, charged with narco-terrorism, among other things. As part of a plea deal for a lighter sentence, he’s agreed to help the U.S. government by telling it everything he knows about Maduro and the cartel.”

FROM CAROLINE FURLONG:   The Guardian Cycle, Vol.1: In Dreams and Other Stories.

A man whose debts must be paid by vengeance. A woman desperate to save her husband. A grieving father finding a young enemy soldier on his veritable doorstep…

These fantasy and soft sci-fi stories wonder whether or not heroes need families. Are we not told that families slow the hero down? Is it not typically implied that they get in the way of the adventure? Are they a burden, or truly the greatest strength from which the hero and those he loves can draw?

Six tales in this collection center on family, faith, and self-sacrificing love as men and women fight for the ones whom they hold most dear. Whether the enemy is inner turmoil, a nightmare, or a demon really does not matter. If the threat seeks to harm a member of the family, it is going to pay dearly.

I AGREE WITH HIM:   Deep Freeze.

And yes, to whom it may concern, Kim Du Toit and I were both unfortunate enough not to be born in the US. And both of us got here as soon as we could. But there is a difference between immigrants and those who never had any intention to acculturate and fit in and who are here to exploit our culture of trust.

KILLING PEOPLE IS CHEAPER THAN TREATING THEM:  Canada reports record number of euthanasia deaths.

When you entrust your health to government, you’re going to get a lot of death, particularly if you’re older and a bad thinker, who is therefore expendable.

IT’S COME TO THIS: Tim Walz Says Trump’s Slur Is Inspiring Others To Scream It Outside His House.

Tim Walz called it a slur that should never be repeated. Now, he hears it all day.

The Minnesota governor, on Thursday, Dec. 4, said people have been driving by his home and screaming the r-slur — a word used to malign those with intellectual disabilities — since President Donald Trump called him that in a social media post last week.

“This creates danger,” the embattled governor said, discussing Republican rhetoric. “… I’ve never seen this before: people driving by my house and using the R-word in front of people. This is shameful, and I have yet to see an elected official — a Republican elected official — say you’re right, that’s shameful.”

Walz said he believes it’s a slippery slope from name-calling to something more serious.

“We know how these things go,” he said. “It starts with taunts; they turn to violence.”

Are people burning rubber as they speed away after shouting “Retard?” Mrs. Walz at least would enjoy the piquant scent of well-heated Michelins.

UPDATE: Flashback to last fall, when Walz wasn’t afraid to go full retard on himself: ‘I’m a knucklehead:’ Tim Walz says he ‘misspoke’ about Tiananmen Square visit.

MORE:

Heh, indeed. Like most leftists, Walz can dish out all the slurs, but can’t take it when the right pushes back:
