Sometimes watching a show like "The View" can open your eyes. /lol







One more thing about this piece. There was a part about "no accountability". That describes our government to tee. If there's anything at all that characterizes our government right now, is that there's no accountability. Indeed, there's an active repulsion towards it. Men are always accountable. But women? Nope.

AOC doubles down on losing bet



3/22/24, 7:41 PM

There's nothing new here to write about, which is the remarkable thing. For awhile there, things seemed to breaking. A little reflection though shows that it's Friday, and that means nothing's going to happen in Congress. Maybe it was all a staged thing to get attention.

In the meantime, another GOP representative is leaving before the term is over. Seems like this is an attempt to shut down any attempt at sunlight. I was skeptical that anything would come of this, as there are too many in the GOP who are cooperating with the Democrats. Even if impeachment passed the House, it wouldn't get anywhere in the Senate. Not to say that they shouldn't do it, but there's little reason to suspect that this will get anywhere. Although for awhile there, it seemed like something real had a chance to happen. It was another fake out.

end of updates for today, the rest follow below:

4:46 PM CDT:

This post is getting as convoluted as this story. It looks like the story is blowing up in some way. Either it is blowing up into an impossible to ignore scandal on the Bidens, or it is blowing up on the GOP committee which is conducting these hearings. But it is definitely getting deeper and deeper into the doo-doo. The Tarlov thing may have been related to the committee hearing from a Democrat congresslady, who made an accusation very similar to the one Tarlov made.





4:21 PM, CST, hold the presses! Deeper indeed.







end 4:21 PM update of the 3:40 PM update:

This is getting deeper all the time. I haven't followed this all that closely. It seems like there's a conflict in testimony amongst the Biden's themselves. I speculate that this is the reason that Hunter Biden won't go before the committee again. Obviously the discrepancy would be addressed, and it is hard to see how he could answer it.

end update, the orginal post follows below:

Maybe it is time to take the "L", eh?









Now we know

All this about Kate, the Princess of Wales, has been about cancer. Yikes. No additional information about her condition was available as of this time.

Brother can we paradigm?













Are we happy yet?

There's some mention out there about how happy people are, or aren't these days.

This seems especially true for the young folks. Well, guess what? The youngsters are unhappy because they aren't being taught the kinds of things that promote happiness. Indeed, they are being taught the reverse.

What makes me so sure of that? Let's take an example to illustrate. There's this drumbeat about the planet being destroyed by mankind's inventions. In particular, the AGW situation. If there's one thing that NOBODY need to worry about and that is AGW. There's no merit to that argument at all. Therefore, if you don't worry about it, then by default, you should be happier than you were before.

But there's so much to worry about! Let me tell you something. People out there are making a living out of making you worry. Your happiness is your own responsibility. Tune out the noise!

As with many things, that's easier said than done. The one thing that has always been true, even in the "good old days", is that watching the news may require you to get a drink. The news has always been bad. Stop watching so much news then. It's like the old Hee Haw gag with the doctor. It went like this--- a patient complains to the doctor, "it hurts when I do this". The doctor replies, "then don't do that!". yuk, yuk. It's funny but true.

If you want to be happy, then stop doing those things that don't promote your happiness. It's as simple as that.

In short, it's like Abe Lincoln once said. People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. And so it goes.

Eyepatch McCain may be a RINO, but that season has already passed



While Crenshaw may be a one-eyed Jack-ass, the best time to replace him was in the primary. What good does this do now?









Biden dumps Bidenomics in favor of shrinkflation



3/21/24:



That word again. I'll call it "cookie monster economics". Keep those potato chip bags full, I tell ya.

He's gotta do something! Here's to Cookie Monster economics.

Hmm. There's some "shrinkflation" in those jobs numbers.

UnDun --- The Guess Who (cover)







This same fella showed how to play this. I was thinking this is all too simple. Giving away secrets! By the way, not claiming I can pick up my gitfiddle and start whanging away at this song right away. But I'm sure with practice, I could get it down. ( easy to say, I know, I know)

Just saying that they're giving away the store, so to speak.









Tuberville calls Dems "satanic"







Comment:





If the Dems could go to hell and back and get Satan's support, I think they'd do it. It wouldn't surprise me if that is indeed what they are doing. They seem to me to be embracing evil. Are the Republicans any better? Well, the GOP isn't as loud about it. Maybe that's something.

Ex-Speaker protege advances to run-off election in Collyfornia







It's a "right-wing blindspot" according to Ground News. It is actually puzzling to me that Trump endorses the guy. Politics does make strange bedfellows. Even in Collyfornia.

Non Post ***!@#$%



3/19/24:

The most views of any post ever on this here blog.

Maybe it goes to show ya that nothing ever really changes. Same old sheet, main.



the original post of 4/26/12 follows directly:

This is to announce that I am literally at a loss of words, so I can't make a post.  As I look over what's happening, I can't make a bit of sense out of it.  The only thing I can say is "what the f**k"?

Stabilized the rotation



3/19/24:

I probably should have mentioned where I found this information. It was on Matt Lowne's youtube channel. Also, there was a mention of another X video, showing strong evidence that the rotation most likely was the reason for the breakup of the Starship.

The rotation appears to put unprotected parts of the Starship in harm's way to the plasma created by the re-entry. If that's so, then the Starship could not survive re-entry. The heat shield cannot protect the ship if it is in the wrong position during re-entry.



end update, the original post follows directly below:

From ophello on X:





Could this kind of rotation be a factor in the demise of the latest Starship test?

More AGW nonsense is rejected by international group of geologists



If science were truly respected, the people citing it as a magic word to end all discussion, would know what they were talking about when they used the term.

Do people really know what science actually is?







The only way to lose this fight is to refuse to fight it

When you see something, it gets hard not to see it. Stupidity is everywhere!

Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit has a theory of how the government became more stupid.





end latest update, the previous update follows below:

10:37 AM CST

The latest stupidity from Stupidity Inc: Trump used the word "bloodbath". Oh no! Another January 6th!

They had two years to convince the public that there was an insurrection. They failed. Isn't it stupid that they keep pulling out the same playbook over and over again? Even more stupid to listen to the stupidity. The stupidity of it is that it isn't what the truth of the matter actually is, and they damned well know it.

end of update, the original post follows below:

Nobody should misunderstand my meaning here. The promoters of the stupid intend to disarm you into your chains. It is rather stupid to acquiece in your own shackling. That is precisely what is happening today.

The war between knowledge and stupidity is won if you train your mind to seek the truth. For the seeking of truth is the basis of science. I have wondered why people so blindly follow what they don't understand. If you refuse to do your own thinking, how can you possibly escape the slavery of blindly following someone who claims to know everything?

The authors of this piece are correct in that people are mesmerized by the magic word of "science" while not actually trying to understand what it truly is.











Starship Flight 3, Aftermath

NASA Spaceflight



The best part of this video is the launch--at the beginning. It appears to be in slow-motion. The movement of the cloud approaches the location of the camera in a manner not unlike the pyroclastic flows of a volcanic eruption. It probably wouldn't be healthy to be standing there when that ship launched. It's hard to tell how far away this was, but it could have been several hundred yards.
