Runaway Elephant… in Butte, Montana

Well, there’s something no one woke up expecting to see: an elephant running loose on the streets of Butte, Montana.

The circus elephant was getting a bath when a nearby car backfired, startling the elephant and provoking her to flee. Her handler ran after her, and it took him 20 minutes to catch up, calm her down, and walk her back to the circus. During those 20 minutes they covered a lot of ground. Happily, there was no harm done.

A few years ago, driving past the South Plainfield Mall, I passed an elephant getting a washdown with a long-handled brush. I had to go back and look again, just to make sure I saw what I thought I saw.

Mexican NGO Urges Illegals to Vote for Biden

Election fraud concept. Electoral fraud and corruption. Word cloud sign.

No dirty trick is off the table for this year’s elections.

Has it ever been doubted by anyone in his right mind that the whole reason for erasing our country’s southern border is to attract millions of illegal aliens and get them voting for Democrats?

Now we have a Mexican NGO (“non-governmental organization”: not the most honest definition), Resource Center Matamoros, pinning up and handing out flyers urging illegals to get into the U.S. and vote for “President” Joe Biden–the crook who keeps the border open for them (https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/04/15/group-in-mexico-displays-flyers-urging-illegal-aliens-to-vote-for-biden/).

There’s some scuttlebutt to the effect that the story is a hoax; but if it is, who wouldn’t believe it? It’s totally believable. In fact, it’s exactly what you’d expect to happen. Of course they are encouraging people to enter the country illegally! The Democrat Party wants to make use of them.

It’s against the law for them, as non-citizens, to vote in a U.S. federal election. Honk if you think that law will be enforced or obeyed.

Supreme Court Upholds Idaho Ban on ‘Sex Change’ for Children

Ready for your gender-affirming care?

 

Noozies are spilling their corn flakes and banging their spoons this morning, grieving over a U.S. Supreme Court decision that lets Idaho enforce its ban on “sex-change” drugs and surgeries for children (https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2024/04/15/u-s-supreme-court-idaho-can-enforce-ban-on-sex-changes-for-children/).

Oh–they want me to call it “gender-affirming care.” I won’t. Would you settle for “the most monstrous, barbaric, and absurd form of child abuse ever seen in all of human history”?

Meanwhile, another court is still trying a “sex-change” lawsuit whose outcome could also wind up in the Supreme Court. The vote there, by the way, was 6-3. All the Far Left justices voted to allow “doctors” to amputate children’s healthy sexual organs and shoot them full of puberty-blocker drugs. If they do it in Idaho, at least for the time being, they’ll get ten years in prison if convicted.

‘Gasp! Oh, No! Chicken Pox!’ (2018)

Image result for images of confused doctor

We know the Democrats will cheat in this year’s elections. In 2020 the Great COVID Pandemic and Assorted Mandates served them very well indeed.

In 2018 they tried a dry run, a dress rehearsal… with chicken pox. Remember that?

Gasp! Oh, No! Chicken Pox!

Here come the chicken pox, here come the chicken pox! But people aren’t afraid of chicken pox. They tried measles, too; and that didn’t work, either. So in 2020 they came up with COVID. Hot dog! Mail-in voting! Midnight ballot dumps! Crooked voting machines! The whole Democrat De Luxe Fun-Pak.

What’ll it be this time? A new disease you never heard of? A war? They can cook up crises like MacDonald’s cooks up hamburgers.

This is how our republic dies.

By Request, ‘Rise Again’

I do try to post every hymn requested by readers. We are always open for requests.

The Dog’s a Chick Magnet

I have the worst luck with chicken videos. I finally succeeded in posting this one.

Dig that headline. I wonder how many misunderstandings it inspired. By “chicks” I always mean cute little birds with fluffy feathers. Not the other kind.

It Was Meant to Be a Satire

[Thanks to Andrea for the nooze tip.]

The New Authorized Copernican Globalist Bible! It’s supposed to be a satire; but take it from me, I write satires: sometimes the satire turns out to be a little too close to home and a lot of people don’t recognize it as a satire.

Years ago, I wrote a satire featuring a New Utopian Translation of the Bible–‘the NUT Bible, for short. Unfortunately, a pastor out in Washington State took it for a real thing and delivered a sermon blasting it. But he had some questions for me, and got in touch with me to see if I could tell him where he could get a copy.

As I was explaining to him how I made it all up, as a satire, he suddenly asked, “Oh, no–what have I done?” An honest man, he accepted all the blame for delivering a sermon that had his congregation talking to themselves.

This “scientifically accurate” globalist hogwash (see the video) pokes fun at yo-yos who make an idol of Science  and promise “a purified version” of the Bible. It’s really quite well done–and I guess that’s what went wrong with it.

I’ve been there myself.

Another Squatter Story

Porsche and Deluxe partner to support Female Driver ...

Who says you can’t have both a Porsche and a house?

Everywhere you look, it seems, there’s another story about squatters. When they’re not settling down in an abandoned house or store, they’re taking over buildings without the rightful owners’ permission–sometimes displacing, or at least scaring the pants off–the rightful occupants.

This week on Long Island, NY, sheriff’s deputies had to dispossess “Porsche-driving squatters” from an abandoned home (https://nypost.com/2024/04/13/us-news/porsche-driving-long-island-squatters-evicted-by-sheriffs-deputies/). Porsche, eh?

The house was foreclosed a decade ago and has been unoccupied for years, the owning family having died out. The Porsche-driving pair, The New York Post reports, “duped a judge” (forged signature, etc.) and moved themselves, a toddler, and their belongings (big flat-screen TV included) into the house.

Well, at least nobody else was already living there.

What harm did it do? Authorities called the house “unliveable.” No heat, no electricity (bummer for the big-screen TV), no hot water, no working bathroom–in short, not the kind of place for raising a toddler.

Sheriff’s deputies had to cut the locks and carry all the couple’s belongings out of the house. The man carried their dog. Yes, they had a dog there, too.

There’s more of a housing crisis these days than you’ve heard. It’s not all just crazy people, drug addicts, and illegal aliens cluttering up the sidewalk. Some are families left high and dry by Bidenomics. Cutting the pipeline made all prices go up across the boards, including home prices.

Everyone except a very small elite at the tippy-top of the pyramid suffers when Democrats run the show.

They Call It ‘Care’???

Funny Surgeon Stock Photos - 10,274 Images | Shutterstock

“If you’re payin’, I’m cuttin’!”

A 20-year-old man in Quebec suffered from the delusion that two of his fingers weren’t really his and didn’t belong there; so a… surgeon… obligingly cut them off (https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/20-year-old-quebec-man-suffering-from-body-integrity-dysphoria-has-two-healthy-fingers-amputated/).

She said her patient had “body integrity dysphoria.” What a load of crap.

Hippocrates said “First do no harm.” Too many doctors today say “Anything for a buck.” So they amputate healthy limbs. And fingers. And set up “clinics” for euthanasia: sort of like a roach motel, “They check in but they won’t check out.”

Puberty blockers. “Gender-affirming care” (chop-chop, slice-slice)–this devilish madness has taken over the world.

And what’s this about a doctor using surgery to cater to a patient’s delusion? Is it now standard medical practice to treat delusions as, oh, legitimate lifestyle choices?

Quacks, charlatans, butchers! And shame on the states that haven’t made you outlaws.

‘Alas! Poor Trachodon! I Knew Him, Horatio…’ (2020)

Marx Toys’ classic Trachodon

Today’s science is tomorrow’s poppycock.

Poor Trachodon! One of my favorite dinosaurs. And they’ve drummed him out of the corps.

Alas! Poor Trachodon! I Knew Him, Horatio…

I had the books, I had the toys, I saw the skeletons–waddaya mean, “No such thing as Trachodon”? But then they always do this, don’t they? In fact, we wouldn’t have any science if they didn’t. Science requires constant revision.

The problem crops up when scientists pontificate to the public and suddenly you have this Settled Science that must never be questioned.

And then they base public policy and law on Settled Science that will be laughed at 20 years from now.
