Assortment

Updated and bumped  Not so fast! Barry Manilow says he hasn't joined Neil Young's attempted boycott of Spotify. 

Geez, I hope we bought the extended warranty: "Navy’s New $13B Aircraft Carrier Fails Testing".

Iran's regime is really resisting being dragged into the 21st century (and the 20th, and the 19th): "Iran sentences prominent female human rights activist to eight years and 70 lashes".

Does Biden actually want a war? "The Mystery of the Biden - Zelensky call".

Coming to your neighborhood: "Biden Administration Has Turned ICE Into an 'Unofficial Travel Coordination Agency' for Illegal Aliens, Many With Criminal Records".

Meh. I pretty much gave up on M&Ms when they got rid of the tan-colored ones: "M&M’s Getting A Woke Makeover? Yes, It Has Gotten This Ridiculous".

My burner for keeping my interest in Barry Manilow warmed up is so far in the back I'm not sure it even works: "Barry Manilow Joins Neil Young in Laughable Spotify Battle Over Joe Rogan Podcast". In fact, Judge Stone captures my thoughts on Manilow very well...

Kind of embarrassing for the dog, I would think: "After Bette Midler Puts Down West Virginia for Manchin Vote, the Governor Gives His Dog's Opinion".

Refresh my memory... what was Trump impeached for, again? The first time, I mean? Aside from being Donald Trump, that is?

So, the Navy paid $13 billion for a lemon. I suppose that it could be converted into housing for the homeless.

Yeah Stephen:

For trying to expose hidden Biden-Ukraine links. The media assures me that this has nothing to do with the current hoopla, nothing whatsoever, doncha know.

I was talking to a guy yesterday, he said he started answering the Car Warranty calls.
He tells them about his 1956 (German tank name) or his 1990 Abrams and ask about getting a warranty.
He said the dude would be looking through his book for the "cars" and not finding it.

Pretty funny.

I think Dopey Joe honestly believes he can unite the American people behind him if he can generate a war that will distract us into overlooking all his failures. Instead, that would generate a massive anti-war effort supported by both left and right that would make Vietnam look like a Sunday stroll in the park. There's precedent for forcing a U.S. President out of office.

Joni Mitchell and Neil Young were always close. Another thing they both have in common is childhood polio, which I guess accounts for a lot of the vaccine fanaticism among us post WW2 folks.

Amazingly, when I just looked into what's known about polio, the 20th century epidemic is now thought to have been caused by kids growing up in a sterile environment after the discovery of germs, so failing to be exposed young enough to develop natural immunity. Isolating kids causes epidemics in other words. Will we ever learn?

And then, the dominant strain of polio in the world (Africa) now, according to some studies at least, is a 'breakthrough' strain from the vaccine itself! Especially the oral one. We can't just leave all these decisions to the 'experts'.
