I DUNNO, IT’S SO HARD TO TELL THE HOST FROM THE PARASITE:
"The progressive project" is the sales pitch for a giant parasitic apparatus that feeds off billionaire donors and the state at every level to keep an army of functionaries within the Therapeutic State employed. The Democratic party serves this apparatus, not the other way… https://t.co/2srNKasIQw

Exit quote: “The bottom line – Iran is transitioning into an extremist military regime where Mojtaba Khamenei acts as a mere ‘puppet’ of the Revolutionary Guards, who completely control the country.”
That’s in line with my thoughts from a week or two ago, so naturally I’m inclined to agree. Heh.
What’s the mean going forward? Predictions are hard, the wise man said, especially about the future.

PANSPERMIA: Asteroid Ryugu Contains All 5 DNA and RNA Building Blocks, Study Shows.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched the Hayabusa2 mission in 2014, sending a spacecraft on a 186-million-mile (300-million-kilometer) journey to Ryugu. One year after reaching the asteroid in 2018, the spacecraft landed on its surface and fired a projectile into it. Hayabusa2’s “catcher” then gathered up the chunks of ejected debris, and the spacecraft carried them back to Earth.
Astronomers have run many analyses of the Ryugu samples since then, but Koga and his colleagues are the first to find all five nucleobases inside them. The researchers studied samples that were collected and curated under strictly controlled conditions and conducted their analysis in a cleanroom to further prevent contamination. They also ran tests to confirm the molecules formed on Ryugu rather than coming from Earth.
Fascinating.

Flashback: “[T]here is no sign of the humour industry taking the side of traditional morality, patriotism or civility. The best it can do is dignify itself with noisy and public collections for sentimental and prominent charity. Once you step beyond the fringe, you sooner or later find yourself in very wild country indeed.”
BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY TELL YOU WHO THEY ARE, PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY DO IT EVERY TIME, GOING BACK DECADES:
Always remember that Democrats hate America and want us defeated. Every single time they will side against you.
Oh, there’s always an excuse. There’s always a reason. But every single time they will decide against America. https://t.co/XN4qu6uwm7

TO BE FAIR, THEY ARE NEITHER VERY BRIGHT NOR WELL-INFORMED: CNN Is Shocked: ‘Stupid’ Trump Has Actually Been Talking About Taking Iran’s Kharg Island Since 1988!
DOMESTIC ABUSE: Jerry O’Connell claims wife, daughters ‘became physical’ after his comments about Harris losing to Trump:
“I said something along the lines of ‘there was no planning. This is what they get. There should have been a primary.’ I said something along those lines, you know, like I was just spit-balling ideas. It was a shock. My wife and daughters, without saying anything, became physical with me. They were filled with rage,” O’Connell said.
He continued, “So if I am being careful with you in how I say things, yes, I live in California. I live with not one, not two, but three people who, if I made any kind of joke, they’d become very angry with me.”
Luckily, we have he-man Bill Maher to teach O’Connell how to stand up for himself:
“Whatever household situation I’m in, I say what I truly think, and if it makes you angry, I’m sorry. We’ll have to work that out. But I am not going to tuck my tail between my legs and just shut the f— up,” Maher said.
O’Connell needs to pick up a copy of my new book and learn to set some boundaries with the abusive women in his house.
