On top of everything else...

 ...radical Democrat candidate for the senate from Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, has daddy issues.

If you listen carefully it’s a misplaced anger at his own parents for not making him feel worthy that turned into raging jealousy of other children who had parents that lifted them up and poured into them. He’s projected all of that onto white people. He needs to mend his heart before thinking about running for any office. White ppl haven’t hurt him. He knows exactly who did. Notice how he doesn’t get the satisfaction he was craving when the interviewer simply anchors himself & doesn’t validate that experience. We should all do more of this. Don’t validate anyone’s experience for the sake of temporary bonding.

Ilhan Omar Calls Obama To See If He Still Has The Number For That Birth Certificate Guy

Tough negotiation.

Oops!

"Dr." Jack Benny.

Gee, I wonder what his nickname is?

You can't be too careful...no matter where you are.

Cool! This guy can flip two birds with one hand.

The soul of patience.

I don't think that word means what you think it means

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has some odd notions about "diversity".

Happy Halloween!

 

I'm trying to lose weight, so I think I'll go trick-or-treating as a Jehovah's Witness.

Here's a scene from a good movie for Halloween, one of the scariest I ever saw: The Haunting (1963). If you've managed never to have seen it, catch it when you can.

Sure sounds like sedition to me

Old times there are not forgotten

From the ages of four to six, I lived in North Wilkesboro, NC, where Old Paco was stationed as a revenooer. Wilkes County was then known as the moonshine capital of the world; in fact, the late, great Junior Johnson was from Wilkes County and it was there that he was arrested at his father's still. I recollect my father telling us not to mention to our friends what he did for a living, because it was a very tight little community and if you weren't making whiskey or drinking it, you were probably related to somebody who was doing one or the other or both.

Most of the old moonshining families eventually moved on to other pursuits, some legit, some not (e.g., marijuana cultivation largely replaced the whisky business, particularly as the price of sugar kept rising). But I was tickled to see that one old fellow is - or was - trying to keep the tradition alive: "North Wilkesboro man charged after explosion leads firefighters to active moonshine operation".

Junior Johnson was eventually pardoned by President Ronald Reagan. I confess that I hope the government will treat Billy Ray Anderson with leniency.

Billy Ray. Perfect.
