FOR SCIENCE FICTION PEOPLE WHO HAVEN’T HEARD:  John Varley died.

IT WOULD TAKE A HEART OF STONE NOT TO LAUGH:

HARSH, BUT FAIR:

You must be new here.

18,000 TERRORISTS LOOSE IN THE U.S.: Did you catch the disclosure over the weekend by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsa Gabbard that there could be as many as 18,000 trained, focused, fanatical terrorists in this country? Richard Pollock puts that figure in context following the Brown University and Sydney beach slaughters.

PERSON OF INTEREST IN BROWN UNIVERSITY SHOOTING RELEASED AS INVESTIGATION ‘NOW POINTS IN DIFFERENT DIRECTION.’

Exit questions:

How the hell did they arrest the wrong guy in the Brown shooting?! How many cameras are there on that campus and the shooter is still at large? Insane incompetence: pic.twitter.com/6tPqD5RCFw

IF HE’S GOING OUT, AT LEAST HE’S GOING OUT IN STYLE: World Leader Pretend: Maduro’s Hilarious Prop-Driven Propaganda.

ICYMI: It’d Be Nice if the Trump DOJ Stopped Arguing in Favor of Some Unconstitutional Gun Control Laws.

ON SUNDAYS I DO A PROMO POST FOR (MOSTLY) INDIE WRITERS WHO ARE CONSERVATIVE OR LIBERTARIAN:  Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

Today I added three businesses whose owners I know aren’t on the left. Just in case you’re tired of giving money to people who want you dead.
And if you’re a small business person who falls in the same group, email me at bookpimping at outlook dot com and I’ll run a promo just for you tomorrow afternoon.

SOME GOOD NEWS:  The two American launches today set a new global annual launch record exceeding 300+.

THESE THINGS HAPPEN:  So The Beginning of the Second Elly Book.

I READ ABOUT THIS YEARS AGO, WHILE DOING RESEARCH. I DON’T CARE TO REVISIT:  Nanking.

BUT THEY’RE A GREAT EXCUSE FOR OPPRESSING THE PEOPLE:  Most countries don’t give a hoot about greenhouse gas emissions: Part 2.

STAND FAST, FOR OUR CAUSE IS JUST:  My TCW week in review: Standing up to the demoralisers.

IT’S A DOUBLE-WIN FOR THE PROPAGANDISTS:   The heresy of putting the baby Jesus into a people-smugglers’ dinghy.

READ IT FAST BEFORE THE MSM DROWNS IT AS INCONVENIENT TRUTH:  Bondi Beach Jewish Hanukkah Massacre – a survivor’s account.

NEITHER EVOLUTION NOR CHANGING CLIMATE WORK AT THE SPEED OF CARTOONS:  Which seems to be what the left thinks in.   Why Aren’t Polar Bears Going Extinct Like the “Experts” Said They Would?  Climate cultists are blaming accelerated evolution, which is possibly the most laughable explanation they could have offered.

And if climate is changing/becoming warmer, it turns out all living creatures do better in warm climates….

GOOD:  Trump’s election win filled Hamas with ‘fear,’ hostage held like ‘slave’ for 505 days recounts.

LONG, BUT FIND THE TIME TO READ IT:  A Week In The Pentagon – Chaos, Complexity and Hope.

I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE 10/7. THEY’RE AT LEAST GOING TO TRY:  This is What is Coming, for America and the World. Guest Author “Chaya’s Clan” lays it out for us.

THEY CAN ONLY COME IF THEY FIFO:   Yearning to Breathe Free?

FIFO – Fit In (or) F–k Off.  And trust me on this, as someone who acculturated, this prohibits vast mass immigration (it sort of worked in the past. Sort of. But it takes a minimum of 3 generations), it prohibits salad bowl multiculturalist nonsense, and it disqualifies 90% of what we’ve been getting.  Note even the left uses “migrant” not “immigrant.” Because they know these are people who move around and have no national loyalties. At least not to us. And that’s just not acceptable.

SAFETY IS ONLY POSSIBLE — TO THE EXTENT IT’S POSSIBLE — IN THE FIRST PERSON:  As in, I keep myself safe.   When I became a man, I put away childish things.

EVEN IF YOU’RE CATHOLIC, BE VERY CAREFUL TO WHOM YOU DONATE:  Timothy Burns: Dear Catholic Relief Services.

Over two thousand years, the church has accumulated a heck of a Deep State. And frankly, a lot of it is because the priests come from good universities and are naive to the fingertips.

A MINIMUM DEGREE OF NATIONALISM IS NEEDED, I THINK AS PROPHYLACTIC AGAINST CULTURAL DISSOLUTION AND OIKOPHOBIA:   Nationalism- Left or Right?  Is Nationalism inherently a bad thing? More specifically, does it fall on the left or the right side of the political spectrum? The answer may surprise you.

THEY ABSOLUTELY SHOULD:  Sanctions Should be Imposed.

REFORMING YOURSELF IS FINE. REFORMING OTHERS ALWAYS RUNS INTO TROUBLE:  The Second Great Awakening, Temperance, and The Reforming Urge.

Or as a friend reminds me (not about alcohol) “you can’t recover for someone else.”
