Mysteries intrigue the human mind. Things you don’t understand or can’t see. Mysteries draw you in, books, TV shows, real-life, even lingerie. You want to see, to understand. I don’t mean stupid mysteries like algebra. I mean scientific stuff. Our country has just gone through a messy pandemic year full of scary scientific mysteries that government folks were afraid to admit they really didn’t understand [Snip] We may finally be on the verge of solving at least part of the enduring UFO mystery

Seems appropriate that Memorial Day brings back memories. That’s all that’s left of far too many who made those memories with us but are no longer here to share them and make new ones on these annual days of honor for The Fallen. It’s hard sometimes and quite painful for the living to call up memories of the departed, especially if their departure from this life came when they were all alone, far away from us in a lonely, lethal place. And so, too often on these Memorial Days, we
Great news for the unofficial start of summer this holiday weekend: A new poll confirms what most of us have been anticipating eagerly, perhaps even desperately. Liberated from masks and Covid restrictions we’re going to enjoy a renewed, once-familiar American summer with – wait for it! – a safe return to travel and good old-fashioned road trips. [Snip]
Sixty-four percent in the new poll say they’re going to

The immediate reports out of Washington came and went so quickly in today’s blurred torrents of news that many missed the far-reaching and momentous social and political impacts of a recent, one-sentence statement from the Supreme Court.[Snip] the timing of the highest court’s decision, which will come by June next year, puts the emotional and volatile issue smack dab in the midst of the campaigns for 2022’s midterm elections. Current conventional wisdom on both sides appears to expect the Court’s Trump-crafted, conservative majority to agree
Democrats accused Donald Trump of being too soft on Russia’s Vladimir Putin for, suspicious reasons. Now, it’s Mr. Mask, Joe Biden, who’s going soft on the Russian leader for life likely. This week for nothing in return, Biden had his Secretary of State Antony Blinken waive U.S. sanctions on the Russian company building a massive undersea gas pipeline from Russia to Germany. The pipeline is a huge deal for Russia’s economy and
All the recent political buzz about the 2022 midterms has been positive for Republicans taking back control of at least one chamber of Congress and stalling Joe Biden’s increasingly progressive agenda. There’s good reason for that. The GOP need only gain five seats to retire Nancy Pelosi again and make Kevin McCarthy, another Californian, the new House Speaker. [Snip] Of course, the Obamas still got rich, but Democrats have yet to recover from that devastation at the state level. And here comes another congressional redistricting. So, even 536 days out, Republicans were feeling mighty good about Nov. 8, 2022.But hold on, folks.
Tarnished California: The Golden State is bleeding

people for the first time, including me 13 replies
For the first time in its 171-year history, the state of California lost population last year. In fact, it lost so many people in recent years that after 17 decades of growth, the most populous state will lose one of its 53 congressional seats in this upcoming redistricting and one of its 55 Electoral Votes. I’m one of the newer exiles, an economic/political refugee among the more than 182,000 who’ve abandoned the no-longer-so-Golden State in the last 16 months.
Since at least 1850 Americans
You probably heard a lot in recent days about the Republican Party in the throes of a divisive civil war for its political soul among Donald Trump, the House GOP caucus, and that Wyoming renegade Liz Cheney. It’s delicious news for Washington media to ignore a vacant presidency and Democrat disarray to cover turmoil within the Party of Lincoln [Snip] That popular narrative – how can I put this politely? – is crap.

Returned to the NFL With His College Coach 5 replies
God does work in mysterious ways. Tim Tebow would agree. And now the devout Christian athlete has shown it again.
What a story! And, by the way, brilliant business decision.The 33-year-old Heisman Trophy winner and National Champion QB with the Florida Gators is returning to the National Football League with the bottom-dwelling Jacksonville Jaguars. That team is now coached by – wait for it – Tebow’s former collegiate coach, Urban Meyer, who’s branded success wherever he’s coached. Meyer will attempt to work his winning magic at the pro level with Tebow, at tight end catching passes from
The Chicago Commissioner of Sanitation once told me there was one pre-summer day every year when it seemed most city residents, as if on some unspoken communal signal, suddenly decide together it’s time for the annual Spring Cleaning.
No one ever announces that day. It never appears on any calendar. It is, as if on one common Saturday with the days growing longer and warmer, millions of humans wake up and feel the psychic need in weekend unison, “I must
Here’s a contrary thought: The banishment of Donald Trump from the omnipotent octopus of Big Tech’s social media is actually good for his return to presidential politics, if indeed he’s serious about pulling off a Grover Cleveland-style return in 2024. The absence of a steady stream of his angry, indulgent tweets from the online consciousness of most Americans allows that tedious torrent of tumult to drift into the foggy memories of an inattentive nation that grew tired of it, despite Trump’s numerous policy successes. [Snip] More importantly perhaps, the enforced absence of the former president’s mean tweets deprives the CORRECTION*
The first rescue dog entered my life in 1950. He was a St. Bernard living in the cramped city apartment of an elderly lady who was kind but couldn’t care for a giant, even a gentle one like Buddy. Early the first morning of our life together I rushed downstairs in our rural Ohio home to see him. There, on the back porch were strewn the gnawed remains of his new leather harness and leash. [Snip] Toby was found sitting in a dirty puddle, shivering, befuddled. He went to the car willingly.
Next day Toby wouldn’t even look at me. He was

is six times quicker to use than a
traditional toilet, inventors say 34 replies
University graduates have designed a women's urinal they claim is six times more efficient than the traditional lockable toilet. Amber Robyn and Hazel McShane, who graduated from the University of Bristol last year, designed the hands-free Peequal when they were asked to solve a 'real life problem' for their masters project.(Snip) Not wasting time on opening and closing doors and cleaning toilet seats, or laying toilet paper out over the seat, are also ways the design improves efficiency. A prototype of the urinal, which is semi-private so others waiting to use the Peequal can't see anything from the waist down,
A 21-year-old Amazon delivery woman viciously beat another woman, 67, who had called her a bi**ch after the San Francisco-area driver told her to 'check her white privilege' when she'd complained about a delayed package. Itzel Ramirez, the Amazon driver, was arrested after she was filmed assaulting the woman in Alameda County, the sheriff’s office said on Friday.(Snip) ‘I believe the Amazon driver said something about “your white privilege,” and my tenant said, “You don’t need to be a b***h about it,” turned around and walked away,’ Smith told KTVU-TV. Ramirez was so enraged that she began punching

Trumpian Campaign Launch 26 replies
The recent campaign launch by a Bush family scion has upended their longstanding unity, causing heartbreak behind the scenes and even a rare public rebuke from a longtime Bush loyalist. The Bushes have long been known for their conservative politics and loyalty to their inner circle. Political consultants and advisers for former President George H.W. Bush, former President George W. Bush, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush often worked with them for a decade or more, remaining in close contact years after the time in elected office had come to an end. George P. Bush, Jeb’s son, was elected as
According to The Washington Post, it's hunting season for cancel culture and its latest targets are "racist" birds.
The Post ran an expansive report on Thursday, titled "The racist legacy many birds carry," focused on the "birding community," which apparently is having a difficult debate "about the names of species connected to enslavers, supremacists and grave robbers." "Corina Newsome is a Black ornithologist, as rare as some of the birds she studies," Post environmental justice reporter Darryl Fears began his piece, noting she was hired to "break down barriers" at the Georgia Audubon nature preserve. "But overcoming those barriers will be daunting.
SAN DIEGO — A federal judge on Friday struck down California's ban on assault weapons as unconstitutional but left plenty of time for the state to file an appeal. Judge Roger T. Benitez, who has favored pro-gun groups in past rulings, called the AR-15 rifle, used in many of the nation's deadliest mass shootings, "a perfect combination of a home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment."
"Yet, the State of California makes it a crime to have an AR15 type rifle," Benitez wrote. "Therefore, this Court declares the California statutes to be unconstitutional."
He praised the AR-15 as a rifle that should be formally protected by the law for its "militia readiness."
The San Francisco Giants told fans Tuesday that the team will add gay pride colors to its hats and uniforms in recognition of Gay Pride Month.
“The 11 colors of the new Pride logo are emblematic of the Progress Pride Flag and signify inclusion and progression with the six pride colors,” the team said in a statement, “red (life); orange (healing); yellow (sunlight); green (nature); blue (serenity); purple (spirit); and black and brown to recognize LGBTQ+ people of color and light blue, pink and white to recognize people who are transgender.”
A lot of people have been wondering why, suddenly, the leftist establishment is embracing the idea that COVID came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (which is tied to the Chinese military) after denying the possibility for so long. The answer may lie in the fact that the Defense Intelligence Agency has for months been debriefing a high-level Chinese Communist Party defector — but withheld the information from other agencies until recently because of fears that those agencies are compromised. In other words, it's a twofer: China did create and release the virus, and our federal government cannot be trusted.
Senate senility
21 replies
The Washington Post reports that the current U.S. Senate is the oldest in American history. Dianne Feinstein turns 88 this month. Charles Grassley turns 88 in September.
Richard Shelby is 87. James Inhofe is 86. Patrick Leahy is 81. Twenty-three senators are in their 70s. The average age of senators at the beginning of this year was 64.3 years.
It may be that being 88 now is like being, say, 78 a few decades ago. So despite being the oldest, this might not be the most age-impaired Senate in our history. Robert Caro’s book about the Lyndon Johnson-dominated Senate makes it clear
Forty years ago, researchers described the mysterious cases of five gay men who had fallen ill with a pneumonia caused by the bacteria Pneumocystis carinii. Two of the five men had already died. That type of pneumonia usually affects only individuals who are severely immunocompromised, researchers wrote in the June 5, 1981 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Scientists would soon discover that a disease that would come to be known as AIDS was devastating the men’s immune systems. Three years later, scientists pinned the blame for AIDS on a virus dubbed HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus. Margaret Heckler, the then
Former President Donald Trump said he was intrigued by the idea of leading opposition to President Joe Biden by running for Congress and becoming speaker of the House, an idea that is gaining currency among his supporters.The strategy was floated as Trump prepares for his return to the political spotlight at the North Carolina Republican convention on Saturday night.It is billed as the next phase in his political career, with the resumption of rallies and speeches - as well as a long teased return to social media.During a Friday interview, far-right radio host Wayne Allyn Root took up the idea that Trump did not have to wait for the 2024
Thursday, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) spoke about the Biden administration’s decision to close Mount Rushmore for the Fourth of July festivities, a contrast to a year earlier when then-President Donald Trump spoke before a fireworks display.
The South Dakota Republican slammed the move, claiming it was part of the “radical left’s agenda.”
“You know, the decision was really arbitrary,” she said. “That’s why we’ll be appealing this decision, and the fight isn’t over. There wasn’t specific reasons that had credibility, and we call this an unlawful act to not make sure that we can conduct our celebration on July 3 at Mount Rushmore like we did last year.
