Transgender Accused Assassin?

The person arrested for plotting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh was revealed, based upon court records, to have planned to kill at least three Supreme Court justices in order to “change the votes for decades to come …”

Hodgepodge of News

A hodgepodge of stories that stood out recently. First, the Republican campaign flyers just write themselves, don’t they?

Use a Strong Password

Last week the Earth “celebrated” World Password Day:

This day was created to raise awareness about the importance of using strong passwords.

World Password Day was established in 2013 and is observed on the first Thursday in May.

BOTUS!

Many all over the world have wondered recently who truly runs the United States of America. The question seems to have been answered over Easter weekend, when BOTUS (Bunny of the United States) made its (his/her/their?) first appearance at the presidential lectern to address the nation.

The Peasants Are Revolting!

“Peasants” around the world are revolting, but in a good way. People are waking up and refusing to comply with vaccine mandates. The mainstream media in the U.S. (and probably elsewhere) don’t cover these uprisings very often, no doubt so as not to give peasants in other places ideas.

This Is St. Louis

Or not!

Of what this is indicative, I can’t say, but this story struck me as simultaneously amusing, sad, and perhaps even racist. The story comes from The St. Louis American: [emphasis added to quotes]

Published continuously, without missing a single issue, since 1928, The St. Louis American newspaper has emerged as the leading, most-trusted voice of the area’s African-American community. 

A Little of This, a Little of That

So I found a few amusing things today that may, for a while, take your mind off the horrors of the third Obama administration.

Somebody dug up an interesting video of Leonard Nimoy warning in the ’70s about the looming ice age. We were all going to freeze to death because a global freeze was imminent. Noted climate scientists said so!

Of course, that was before we were all going to burn to death due to global warming.  The video can be found here.

POV Potpourri

A potpourri of items from the web and in the news, with some (let’s hope) pertinent comments upon them:

First up, Chicago Mayor Lightfoot spends long minutes quibbling with a reporter because he called violence in her city last summer “race riots.” After excoriating him for his opinion that these were race riots, she then admonished him for criticizing her own opinion, false though it may be, that 99.9% of criticism thrown her way is only because she’s black, female, (and lesbian). So reporters don’t have a “right” to critique her opinions but she seems to believe that she has a right to critique theirs. Different strokes!

Xenophobe in Chief

 

Joe Biden’s spokesperson has announced a new policy concerning international travel:

The administration will restrict travel from India starting immediately. The policy will be implemented in light of extraordinarily high COVID-19 caseloads and multiple variants circulating in India.

As the cited article pointed out, Biden previously stated that travel bans won’t stop the virus.

Concerning Sign?

Is former Senator Joseph Biden, alleged “president elect”, signaling something to the country? Enquiring minds need to know.
