Assortment

I think it's about time we start calling it homicidal empathy.

Whatever faults Trump may have, excessive subtlety isn't one of them.

Sounds like a place that might someday really deserve the Waco treatment: "‘We Want Islam For This Country’: Muslims In Texas Lay Out Vision For Islamic America".

The organization hosting the event has plans for a 40,000-square-foot Islamic facility near Plano, Texas.

Gavin Newson, international stateman. I don't think Newsom ought to be signing international agreements at the UN unless he is head of a sovereign nation; therefore, so as not to inconvenience him, let's grant California independence from the union, pluck one of the stars off of our flag, and hold it open for Alberta.

"Lesbians! Time to person the fluffy pink barricades!" "What Lesbian Bar Brouhaha Says About A Future Woke America".

Say what you will about the radicals of yesteryear, but they did crazy, dangerous stuff. They built bombs, occasionally blowing themselves up. They hijacked armored cars, killing guards if need be. They kidnapped heiresses, preferring death in fiery shoot outs to surrender.
Today, if the brouhaha at the Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue in Greenfield, Mass. is any indication—and it is—leftists have become the biggest pansies on the planet.

National Review continues to beclown itself: 

The staff at NR are like minor functionaries in the last days of Kerensky's regime, shooting spit-wads at genuine conservatives while the Left pulls the rug out from under the entire Republic. The famous "blue borders" of the original magazine - a "blue-bordered oasis of reason", NR was called - now sadly puts one more in mind of a piece of beef that is going blue around the edges due to putrefaction.

Another strange corner of WWII history

Told by historian (and historical detective) Mark Felton.

Evaluation: true.

Robbers are getting smarter and faster.


Mitch Hedberg wants to be a race car passenger.

Pretty near-sighted, there, grandpa.


Even marriage counselors sometimes reach the limit of their patience.



I guess Germans do have a sense of humor; I'm just not sure I get it.

Haw!

"BEYOND PARODY: Maine Democrat Troy Jackson Booted From Facebook Group Supporting His Campaign".

Thank God for Democrat kompatance!

And, we're off to the (master) races!

" Racing horse 'Austrian Painter' gets renamed due to, well, you know".

On Monday, a horse named Austrian Painter won a race in Indiana.
By Wednesday, the horse had been renamed after the Internet figured out it was a reference to Adolf Hitler.

The owner claimed it was just a misunderstanding. Is he telling the truth? Here's what we call a clue:

Austrian painter is a popular euphemism in some corners of the internet to discuss Hitler while evading censors. Herbertson's initial explanation did not hold up well when some online sleuths discovered in the Jockey Club's database that he had submitted backup names to the Jockey Club including My Struggle and Braunau Star.

Jaw-dropping

With insanity now running through the "progressive" part of society with the speed of the Black Plague spreading through 14th-century Europe, it can be challenging to identify the stupidest developments on the Left on any given day; however, I feel relatively safe in nominating the operator of Itty Bitty City Kitties for the Marxist Idiot Medal (First Class) for today: "Kittens Need Homes But Adoption Center Cares More About Politics Than Saving Them-Bans ‘MAGA’ Adopters".

“Important! Adoption policy update. No.Fu**ing. MAGA.”
Read on at the link. These people are positively vile.

As someone once wrote (I don't remember who), the nominal issue is never the issue; the revolution is the issue.
