Happy National Joe Day!

First time I ever heard of this one, but March 27th is National Joe Day, when we celebrate people named Joe, Joseph, Josephine, etc. I think there may be a tie-in with coffee, too.

So, I'll drink a cup in honor of my late father and my elder son. Joe Stalin is excluded by acclamation. As is Joe Biden.

Update  

A repost of a photo of my father , taken in 1946 (at the age of 17 or 18), dressed up and wearing a, er, very stylish necktie that I would love to have had.


I think the Geneva Convention allows you to...dispatch...enemy soldiers wearing your country's uniform in wartime

Just sayin': "The Newest Georgia ‘Republican’ Is A Scandal-Plagued Democrat Carpetbagger".

What an obscenity

Tolkien must be spinning in his grave. Critical Drinker lashes out at the asinine notion of letting TDS mental patient Stephen Colbert write the script for a new LOTR film.

So, what the hell happened with Utah?

"Islamopandering in Salt Lake City". 

Mormons once had a reputation for being conservative, but those days are gone forever. Salt Lake City is so woke that it even adopted the pride flag as an official city flag in order to circumvent a ban on flying anything but the official national flag, the state flag, city flags and a few others on municipal property.
And so it was inevitable that Erin Mendenhall, the same far, far-left mayor who spearheaded the continued official display of the pride flag, would also engage in some of the most flagrant Islamopandering we have seen up to now anywhere in the United States. Islamopandering is all the rage these days and is happening all over the country; Mendenhall is by no means unique, but she offers a particularly egregious example of how foolish this really is.

Happy Feet Friday

From 1946, here's Duke Ellington and his orchestra, with "Trumpet No End".


Airline adopts the new "more than one ax handle wide" policy

Southwest airlines says, if you're seat is bigger than ours, that's gonna run you extra: "Woman Claims Southwest Canceled Her Ticket After Gate Agent Told Her She’s Too Big for One Seat".

The open wound

"America Can’t Heal From The Russia Hoax Because Mueller And His Ilk Faced No Accountability".

America cannot successfully move past the Russia collusion hoax until its founders and lawbreaking participants receive the legal reckoning they deserve. They and their antics did indescribable harm to the republic and the country’s democratic process that we’re still grappling with years later.
Mueller may be gone, but the destruction he left in his wake is beyond measure. Americans are right to demand justice for what he and his team did to the country. And until they get it, they have no reason to waiver in that desire.

Justice ignored will wither on the vine, and there will be nothing but raw, ideological power struggles. The founders would weep to see their near-miraculous creation degraded to a series of endless tribal wars.
