Business Lessons Learned From Stacey Abrams' Refusal To Concede

Stacy Abrams… She wants more abortions. Do you?

How bad do things have to get before we throw the Democrat Party out of office? ‘Cause they’re pretty bad already.

Do Or Die (Let’s Do!)

I’ve noticed, though, in just the past two weeks or so, Democrat candidates are saying really wacky things and the commentators in the nooze have been playing a lot of CYA. Just last week it was all “Hey, ya know, the Democrats are gonna pull this out, they’re gonna keep control of Congress.” This week, none of that at all. I wonder what happened over the weekend to change the media’s tune. Now they’re all predicting Doomsday.

But Doomsday for Democrats is Happy Birthday for America.

‘Why Can’t They Leave Us Alone?’ (2018)

Elizabeth Warren Reacts to Supreme Court Roe v. Wade Leak

“You and your little dog! Yaa-ha-hah!” [Cackles insanely]

In 2018 you couldn’t watch a cat video on YouTube without some political ad breaking in on you, most of them, maybe even all of them, by Democrats.

Why Can’t They Leave Us Alone?

This year, every day our email gets filled by a dump truck’s worth of political ads, almost all of them from out of state, all schnorring for money; it’s always there waiting for us in the morning.

Hey! Does anybody out there still watch television? What’s it like on TV, this year?

‘Til the Storm Passes By’

No hymn requests from readers today, not yet, so I’m on my own. I think I’ll post a hymn I’ve never heard before–‘Til the Storm Passes By, sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale.

The hymn shop will be open all day… you haven’t missed it.

Parakeet & Dog Share Walkies

Honest, I’m not getting hung up on parakeets. It’s just that they have so much go to them.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a dog being taken for a walk without venturing outside the house. The bird insists on walking with him. Never saw a parakeet taken for a walk, either. Maybe it’ll set a trend.

‘Out-of-Place Artifacts’ (Cool!)

Mysterious iron pipes: go figure.

I’m tired, and there’s so much politics out there today, it’s making me dizzy. Maybe it’s getting to you, too. So here’s a break.

‘Out-of-Place Artifacts, “Ooparts” for short, have been puzzling scholars and scientists for years. Are they just quirks produced by nature–or do they push back human history by thousands or even millions of years? Were there advanced civilizations on the earth that have left only these little scraps behind?

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/17-out-place-artifacts-suggest-high-tech-civilizations-existed-thousands-or-millions

Some of these have been kicking around for years: light bulbs (so it seems) in ancient Egypt, batteries (so it seems) from ancient Babylonia, medieval maps showing Antarctica as ice-free–these have yet to be explained.

Others I’d never heard of till now: the “Great Wall of Texas,” what appears to be a rock structure, some 400,000 years old; broken pipes from China (where’s a plumber when you need one?), said to be 150,000 years old; an ancient nuclear reactor; and more, quite a bit more.

Are we sure we know what we think we know?

The Bible tells us there was civilization before the Flood. Maybe this stuff is all that’s left of it. I think we can view the supposed ages of these Ooparts as just guesswork. Maybe they aren’t man-made artifacts at all. Nobody seems to know quite what they are.

We are told it took mankind tens of thousands of years to begin civilization. We are not told why it took so long, or how it ever got started at all.

We do have a lot to learn.

 

Clueless Democrat: Her Slip Is Showing

Is New York locked with California in a battle to see which state can generate the worst government?

Here’s New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, debating the Republican candidate, Rep. Lee Zelden. Zelden keeps trying to discuss New York’s soaring crime rate, eminently attributable to the Democrats’ “bail reform” policy that keeps violent criminals out of jail and allows them to continue to prey on people.

And what does Gov. Hokum have to say about it?

“I don’t know why that’s so important to you.”

Egad, the woman’s off her rocker. Why should getting knifed or clubbed or pushed onto the tracks while you’re waiting for a subway seem important to anyone? Hokum could easily fire any district attorney who refuses to prosecute criminals–but she doesn’t. Assault and injure someone on the sidewalk, and 15 minutes later they turn you loose again.

Insane public policy. And that’s what Democrats have to offer.

It’d be nice if Hokum encountered one of those subway crimes she just laughs off.

My Book Is Stalled

gloomy weather | farjiaadmi

It just keeps raining and raining and raining around here, today is no exception, and I’ve lost five writing days that should have gone into my current book, Ozias, Prince in Peril.

No, I can’t write fantasy fiction indoors. I need fresh air, birds, squirrels, grass, wildflowers, bees. I need trees, too, but they’ve cut them all down around here. To get into the right frame of mind, I have to cut myself off from 21st-century distractions.

Maybe the sun will come out. I have more blog posts to write. I have to write a column for Newswithviews. I have to go pick up the laundry. Maybe by the time I get it all done, the sun will be out again. It’s had six out of the last seven days off. What is this–Seattle?

They Want to Make Monkey Pox More Lethal

“Science” at work!

The Daily Mail has broken a story about a government lab in Maryland where, uh, “scientists” have been working to make monkey pox more lethal (https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/10/franken-pox-government-lab-in-maryland-plans-on-blending-monkeypox-strains-together/): “the goal is to swap genes” to turn monkey pox into a killer.

We all saw how disappointed Democrats were in monkey pox as the successor to COVID-19, that would let them lock us all down again and force another vote-by-mail election. So it’s back to the ol’ drawing board to see if they can turn monkey pox into a killer–a disease no one even heard of until “scientists” started their quest for the next pandemic.

You’d think it’d be illegal to do that kind of research here; but the “scientists” have found several loopholes that have saved them a trip to China.

Think SloJo’s regime will put a stop to this?

‘Four Outrageous Fantasies’ (2011)

I write fantasy novels. Everything that’s in them, I made up.

Then there are the fantasies that our politicians make up.

Four Outrageous Fantasies

Yes, their little minds are always cooking up more devilment. I guess the latest one is SloJo’s claim that everybody in America except the jidrools who follow him is a semifascist hater white supremacist threat to democracy.

What are your favorite fantasies disguised as rational discourse about government?

‘A Mighty Fortress’

That’s the Coliseum in the background, of course–a symbol of the pagan Roman Empire, ruling the world by violence and superstition… and undone and converted by Jesus Christ and His servants.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, by Martin Luther, sung by the kids from Fountainview Academy on their trip to Rome.
