Demond Wilson, RIP

I'm a few days late with this, but definitely wanted to honor this comic actor who helped make one of the most popular sitcoms of all time the success it was.

So long, Lamont Sanford; we'll all be coming to join you one day, I hope. Demond Wilson - 1946 - 2026.

The war on multiple fronts

"An Invisible Pearl Harbor".

Let’s try a thought experiment. Let’s imagine that Pearl Harbor happened. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and destroyed the bulk of our Pacific fleet. But nobody talked about it. Nobody reported on it. In fact, the press said that there was no attack, perhaps only a Japanese protest against American government actions in the Pacific. If you suggested going to war with Japan, you were called a Nazi, a racist, and a xenophobe.
That sounds absurd, but it’s effectively what’s going on right now. Every day in a thousand different ways, we are being attacked. The republic is being threatened. People who want to destroy the existing political, economic, and social order are taking very dramatic, very concrete actions. But you are being told that nothing has happened. In fact, you are told that if you think something has happened, you are the problem.

Patriots need to get organized. I'm not sure how, but it needs to be done. The shambling, worn out, self-dealing GOPe will have to be taken down early on, because it continues to fraudulently hold itself out as the main opponent of Democrat madness, and too many people have been gulled into thinking that this pusillanimous party of contented losers is a significant bulwark against the increasingly belligerent, and bloodthirsty, leftist mob (and the diabolical billionaires who finance it and the partisan media who defend it).

I want a second opinion

Well, it looks like that obnoxious groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, has  - once again - seen his shadow, which supposedly means six more weeks of winter. Not likin' it.

Caught in the middle of a Jack London story

The Paco Command Center got hit with about 10 inches of snow overnight. High winds caused drifts by the front and back doors. I used a super-high-powered leaf blower to blast the stuff from the screen door on the back porch so we could get outside.


I suppose we should have moved three or four hundred miles further south, but I heard it snowed in Florida, too. Can't wait for Trump to liberate Cuba; gonna get me a condo in Trump Tower - Havana.

Amelia conquers the world

Here's some background on the Amelia phenomenon, the character developed by the UK's idiotic government propagandists to "educate" youth on the dangers of "radical right-wing white extremism", who has now been embraced by people trying to roll back the country's criminally insane immigration policies.

Somehow, I imagined the singularity involving slightly more complex technology.
