Protests/Rallies
Tuesday Tidbits
Let’s open with Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein. Ever since our hopefully-soon-so-be-former Attorney General, Pam Bondi, said there was no Epstein list (after years of Trump demanding release of the list!) Trump has been decrying the list as bogus and fake, leading many to think he figured prominently on it. Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse […]
Supposedly 100s of protests planned for Saturday
People across the country are planning “No Kings Day of Defiance” protest in response to Donald Trump acting, well, like Donald Trump. Except they see it as vastly more sinister: Organizers behind the “No Kings” movement are calling the protests a reaction to the large military parade taking place in Washington, D.C., on Saturday in […]
Saturday shorts
I was going to lead off with a Happy Easter Saturday – till I read that Easter Saturday is used colloquially for both the Saturday before Easter and the Saturday 6 days after Easter. May you all have a joyful (and thoughtful) weekend. Saw the update on Dakota Meyer – here’s a few others. Thomas […]
Lowest bid, and slimeballs
NASA..they have accomplished so much, and so little. Their first decade went gangbusters, but by now, private companies are leaving them behind.

Johannah King-Slutzky, faculty member and a PhD candidate, wants “humanitarian aid” for the protestors
Johannah King-Slutzky is an instructor at Columbia University. She is also a PhD candidate there. While answering reporters, she advocated for the need for the protesters to receive what she called “humanitarian aid.” One example she gave was providing of a glass of water. However, this student and instructor with the Ivy League university ended […]
Maybe, just maybe, there’s some hope for this country
In the on-going “protests” around American campuses in support of Palestine and their Hamas terrorist leaders, there’s a lot to bring your hope for the future down. Drag queens unironically leading children in chants of “Free Palestine”, when merely being LGBT in Gaza will get you thrown off a roof. People ripping down the American […]
This is my shocked face. No, really.
Pakistan alleges that US equipment left behind in Afghanistan is showing up elsewhere in nefarious hands. Pakistan’s caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said terror groups in the country are now using American equipment, including night vision goggles and firearms, in their operations. One group, known as the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), has increased attacks on government […]
Wednesday shorts
For fans of socialized English medicine, this may be an eye-opener: Rod Stewart, singer of “Maggie Mae” and “Tonight’s the Night” (fond memories of a red-headed lady sergeant belting that one out at the NCO club at DLI!) has been trying to do something worthwhile for folks needing pricey scans at UK hospitals. In […]
