Happy Feet Friday

Here's trumpet man and bandleader Erskine Hawkins - "the 20th-century Gabriel" - with "Aunt Hagar's Children" (from 1950).

Defending the indefensible

Virginia Governor Spanführer spouts partisan nonsense - again: "What PANIC Looks Like: Abigail Spanberger's Statement on Louise Lucas Arrest Only Makes Things WORSE".

That would be Louise Lucas, Democrat State senator, who got caught presiding over a weed empire on the side.

Motion

That no one who has ever worked for the CIA shall hold elective office.

Frightening

"Destination: Color Revolution".

DataRepublican has been doing a very deep dive into the current Deep State project to take Donald Trump out after the Midterm elections, dropping chunks of her investigation, including receipts from an insider who leaked video, audio, and documents from a wide-ranging, shall we call it a "plot," to amp up resistance to Trump and to create a Constitutional crisis that would, they hope, reshape the entire political landscape.

Including the Constitution.

And protecting us from all this is, what, the GOP? God help us.

The curse of the low information voter

"Man Frustrated By Gas Prices Votes To Start Castrating Kids Again".

The Babylon Bee, of course.

Working-with-your-hands Wednesday

We don't get to see the build, but the magic is really in the strobing of the light.

Bonus video!  How about an origami typewriter?

Canada looks for alternatives to Starlink

Don Surber: "Actually, it is rocket science, Canada".

On September 29, 1962, Canada became the third country to design and build its own satellite. The USA put Alouette 1 in space. Canada has never used its own rocket to launch a satellite into orbit.

In 64 years since Alouette 1, Canada has launched a free health care system that now just goes ahead and kills patients rather than treat them. Social justice spending accounts for 17.2% (one-sixth) of its GDP.

0.043% of its gross domestic product goes to space, the Final Frontier.

Canada’s main contributions to space are actors William Shatner and James Doohan, who played Captain Kirk and Scottie, respectively, on Star Trek.

To put its satellites in orbit, Canada now uses SpaceX.

On another note: Voters in Alberta wussed out and voted overwhelmingly to reject independence from Canada.

Keep living in Big Brother's basement, guys. See where it gets you.
