Some cats do get bollixed up on stairs. Not our cats. The two of them, when they chased each other up or down the stairs, became The Thundering Herd.
Here’s a little cat who does it solo. Warning: Humans really shouldn’t try this. You’ll be sorry if you do.
Racism strikes again!
Why do we despise and mistrust our nooze media? Consider this clanger from MSNBC.
Increased traffic deaths are caused by… you guessed it: racism! (https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/brad-wilmouth/2022/08/30/msnbc-tries-link-surge-car-crash-deaths-racism)
Couldn’t possibly be increasingly bad driving, could it?
The proof of this absurd claim, says some dindle on MSNBC, is that two more blacks die in traffic accidents, per 100,000, than whites. Eight blacks, a little more than six whites. He wails, “How can we help to fight this?” Another big job for Big Government!
Gee–is there any problem, anywhere, that is not caused by “racism”?
We know they’d like to take our cars away: Save The Planet, blah-blah. Noozies would get to keep their cars, them and politicians, union members, and the like. Nice big limos for them. Ride the bus with the chickens for you.
Walter Williams once suggested, facetiously, setting the speed limit at 5 mph. That’d do it, big-time. We are beginning to wonder if noozies took that seriously. (We miss you, Dr. Williams!) You can’t make jokes to these people: libs have no sense of humor.
But I’ll tell you one thing that’s not a joke, and isn’t funny–allowing leftids to be in charge of anything.
It’s the newest fad in “education”! Cropping up all around the country.
Have your students fill out surveys asking them all sorts of questions, some of them extraordinary for their bold intrusiveness–yeah! This’ll help the school “connect with students.” Can you gimme hallelujah?
The attorney general of Missouri, Eric Schmitt, thinks there’s something wrong with these surveys and is launching an investigation of them (https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/eric-schmitt-targets-st-louis-schools-over-intrusive-surveys-37954767)).
A substitute teacher told me the surveys get very personal. Well, the Internet’s full of samples. The one I saw (which I can’t seem to find again) focused in on the student’s family’s drinking and smoking habits. Others are infamous for asking kids “name three things you’re ashamed of”, and the like. And the government gets in on the act with a “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System” (https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/index.htm). Honk if you think that sounds sinister.
This survey stuff was first done years ago, but lately it’s catching on in a big way.
I can imagine my mother’s response: “You want to find out how much I smoke or drink? As if it was any business of yours! Well, ask me! Not my son. And since you ask–” She usually finished these sentences in German, if her children were listening.
People, people! The teachers’ unions, the teachers’ colleges, and the public school officials–these are not your friends. And their company is not wholesome for your children.
I don’t know who’s performing this, but I do know Erlene requested it last night–We Are Standing on Holy Ground. I’m really rather swamped with work today, it won’t be easy to catch up.
But there’s always time for a hymn or two.
It wasn’t their fault they went extinct. But it will be ours, if we go.

We’ve got a bumper crop of public education outrages this week, but don’t worry–I won’t pick ’em all.
First! An assistant principal in Cos Cob, Connecticut, Elementary School explains to Project Veritas how he hires only young, non-Catholic teachers in order to indoctrinate children into Far Left Crazy ideology (https://www.projectveritas.com/news/exposed-greenwich-ct-assistant-principals-hiring-discrimination-ensures/). He routinely breaks state laws against discrimination based on age and religious belief, but nothing comes of it. His name is Jeremy Boland… and don’t let him come within 20 feet of your children. He wants to wash their brains.
You don’t have to label your political preaching as “politics,” he says. Keep your Far Left lessons going and “just make that the norm.” You don’t have to call it what it is; just make it the norm. “You’re teaching them [the kiddies] how to think.” If that’s the word for it.
How do you get away with refusing to hire Catholics, or anybody over 30? Again, you “make it the norm.” (There a slogan in there!) “That how you get away with it,” he brags.
And of course if an applicant can’t hop aboard the transgender bandwagon, Boland says, “You’re out, you’re done.”
The arrogance is breathtaking. Why anyone but a dyed-in-the-wool leftist zombie would send children to this school is baffling. Why are the anti-discrimination laws not enforced? Well, okay, I guess I already knew the answer to that question–it’s only discrimination if conservatives do it.
So… 2,400 prospective math teachers in North Carolina flunked the math test that they needed to pass to get their teaching licenses.
I’ve been to teachers’ college. It’s a hoop they jump through, nothing more… although these days it has taken on more sinister overtones.
Should math teachers know more math than the kids they’re “teaching”? Like, if you’re teaching first grade, you should only have to know what the average 5-year-old would know?
Is the test too hard? Should they redesign it so that a first-grader can pass it?
Public education: Pay more, get less.
Here’s one from James Swanson, Joshua’s and Jeremy’s cousin–a good old-fashioned hymn, Will the Circle Be Unbroken.
We all have our circles broken. Of my own family there’s hardly anybody left. We look to Jesus Christ Our Lord to mend the breaking.
What does your cat do if she wants to get petted? Ours relies on telepathy, in case the human has medicine handy that he’s just itching to give her. The cat in this video demonstrates a polite form of seeking attention. So much nicer than just biting.
Scanning the nooze this morning, I felt a need to revisit Psalm 2–which also brought this 1871 hymn to mind, Christ Shall Have Dominion.
It’s getting bad out there. The ungodly are running wild, nothing seems to restrain them. But God is watching carefully, and here’s where the psalm comes in:
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. (Verses 1-4)
The Lord is laughing at them–at their vain words, their pretenses, their schemes for a global government with themselves in charge. They are nothing. They are pygmies who call themselves giants. The Lord will give His Son, His anointed, all power in heaven and on earth; and He will break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
We must not lose heart! Christ, not they, shall have dominion. This is what we as Christians must believe. God will keep His promises, every last one of them. He has blessed us by allowing us to enter into His labors with Him. We may fail from time to time, but He will not fail us.
When will that happen? We don’t know; God knows. There are Christian men and women not yet born who will do great things. Our job is to do what we can and never, never, never give in to the wicked.
And when God stops laughing, let the wicked beware. Christ’s Kingdom is already among us… working, working, working… for and until He regenerates His whole creation.
The predators
The World Economic Forum–unelected wannabe dictators–has called on, um, “scientists” to figure out why people refuse to take the COVID vaccines (which are not really vaccines in the sense we’ve always understood the world) (https://conservativeplaylist.com/2022/08/29/rockefeller-foundation-wants-behavioral-scientists-to-figure-out-why-people-refuse-to-take-the-vaccine/). They’ve set aside at least $20 million for a “Mercury Project” to find ways to counter people’s resistance to their “vaccinate”-everyone-on-earth campaign.
Dudes, let me save you some money! Here’s why we won’t let you “vaccinate” us.
We don’t trust you. Not for a New York minute.
We don’t trust your experimental mis-named “vaccines.” We’re afraid your “jabs” will destroy our health and maybe even kill us. “Vaccinated” people in the prime of life are dropping dead all over the world. It doesn’t build confidence, sunshine.
We know you hate us and despise us. You haven’t been exactly bashful about letting it show.
We are sure you’re trying to subject us to some global government that will closely resemble the Chinese Communist Party. You have an insatiable lust for power and wealth, all at our expense. You are not nice people.
Once you achieve 100% “COVID compliance,” you’ll shoot for 100% compliance with everything the goverment wants to do, and total control of human life. If anybody still wants to live, once you’ve carried out your utopian projects that will wreck our world. A future of eating bugs because the Kobe beef crowd at the WEF says we should–that’s just not appealing.
The self-anointed global elite is a parasitic species living off the lifeblood of humanity. This is Dracula times a thousand. May God defend us.
