Suddenly the election looks like it might be interesting After a dull run-up to the election, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg has died. This is almost certainly far too close to the election to permit Trump to select and ram through a new Justice; the Dems would certainly do everything in their power to squash any such nomination process. If Trump makes a […]

Lonely Joe As much as I don’t like the man’s policies, especially his “I’ll select the worst possible person to replace me” VP policy, I gotta admit I feel bad for him. The dementia combined with his utter unpopularity leading to delusions that he is surrounded by crowds of adoring fans? Makes me sad for what is […]

Call me old fashioned… …. buuuuuuuut… what the hell is this? Portland woman accused of rioting faces both local and federal charges Dude. DUUUUUDE. Just no. One of these days the pendulum is going to swing back. — Oh, and as a followup to a previous posting, behold: AntifaWatch.us There are photos (booking and otherwise) of a whole bunch […]

Went woke. Go broke? This is spectacular. Princeton University, of Ivy League Fame, has a President who decided that a struggle session was in order, and wrote an open letter where he said: Racism and the damage it does to people of color nevertheless persist at Princeton as in our society, sometimes by conscious intention but more often through […]

Cancel Culture cuts both ways This time it’s not just random schmoes who, in some sudden moment, blurted out Wrongthink. No, this time it’s people who plotted and planned to commit acts of violence and criminality, complaining that, lo and behold, there are consequences. I fully expect that corporate HR departments keep or perhaps trade back and forth databases of […]

Defund the Depart of Education A lot of people wanted to defund the police. In cities where the police have been defunded, held back, stood down or demoralized, they’ve gotten exactly what you’d expect: Homicide Stats Show ‘Minneapolis Effect’ Short form: less police, less policing, more crime. This is hardly surprising. This is undoubtedly what a great many of the […]

Sedition: It’s About Time Attorney General William Barr suggests charging violent protesters with sedition Good. We are *looooong* past the time when people rioting in the streets could legitimately claim that they were protesting some injustice. After the most recent incident of a knife-wielding lunatic getting *justly* shot by a cop in Lancaster, PA, whackaloons took to the street […]

Arrested for being targeted This video is depressing and inevitable: I *really* hope the Trump campaign is on the ball here, because the leftists are doing their damnedest to provide him with all the footage he needs for TV commercials that should net him a historic landslide of an election.

WD 1856+534 (TIC 267574918) Huh. A giant planet candidate transiting a white dwarf In short: 80 light years away in the constellation Draco a Jupiter-sized (up to about 14 times as massive, thought) planet orbits a 6-billion year old white dwarf star a mere 11,000 miles in diameter, once every 1.4 days. The orbit is apparently stable. There is […]
