Giant Squids (You Didn’t Ask for It)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne. H.P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu. These fantasies feature giant squids, or something very like them.

I like a plate of fried calamari. But the giant squid–50 feet long, sometimes longer: nobody really knows for sure–well, that’s another story. A very dramatic one: here’s a clip from the movie.

Anyhow, we don’t know how many gigantic squids there might be in the ocean, how they live, how big they get to be, etc., etc. Sperm whales eat them. Big squids wash up on the shore, dead as doornails. I don’t think anyone has ever seen a live one…

And lived to tell about it.

Trump Admin Joins Fight to Save NJ Family Farm

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

historic Henry farm in Cranbury

The Henry farmhouse, back when. Still here… for now.

Are we still in America?

When I was a reporter in the 1970s, the news was inundated with court-ordered seizures of private property to make room for (LOL) “affordable housing.” What a load of bunk that was! But imagine my horror when I discovered they’re still doing it.

In Cranbury, New Jersey (https://www.nj.com/news/2025/06/trump-administration-joins-bitter-fight-to-block-nj-town-from-seizing-175-year-old-family-farm.html). Farming country.

Now owned by Chris and Andy Henry, it’s been a farm for 175 years. Now the town wants to carve it up for “affordable housing.” I put quote marks around that because in my experience that housing NEVER turned out to be “affordable.”

Yeahbut, yeahbut! It’s Eminent Domain! This legal theory allows the government to grab your property.

The good news is that President Trump’s U.S. Dept. of Agriculture has pledged itself to help save the Henry farm.

Oh, how many times did I interview local government officials who were tearing their hair out because they couldn’t stop this stuff! They tried everything; but the NJ Supreme Court’s infamous (can I say that? My dander’s up) Mount Laurel decision tied their hands.

Maybe the federal government can do better. I sincerely hope so.

Jersey judges feed predatory developers. And the state looks it.

 

FBI Aided China’s Cover-Up

Kash Patel: he’s got the dirt on Dems and Chicoms

“The supreme art of war is to win without fighting,” Sun Tzu said, centuries ago.

Looks like the Chicoms follow his advice.

In ongoing hearings in Congress, we are told that the FBI “sat on intel” and purposely failed to investigate (https://justthenews.com/government/security/fbi-asked-spy-agencies-destroy-intel-alleged-china-plot-aid-joe-biden-2020) the reports.

Yeahbut, yeahbut! All the Chinese did was print up almost 20,000 fake absentee ballots and ship them to America to help Joe Biden get elected. Why, that’s nothin’! FBI honcho Christopher Wray had already said (!) that no one–no one!–had ever, or could ever, meddled with our national elections.

C’mon, now, which was more important? The security of a presidential election, or Chris Wray’s job security?

Massive efforts were made to delete the information, but they were too late: Kash Patel and Dan Bongino already had it. And now they’re reading it to Congress.

Again, my prediction is that nothing will happen. Democrats do anything they please and never have to face consequences.

‘Alligator Alcatraz’ (They Won’t Like It)

“C’mon in, the water’s fine!”

[Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip]

This has the makings of a Tarzan movie.

Okay: we’re gonna deport a bunch of criminal border-hoppers–ship ’em off to South Sudan. (Holy cow. That’s harsh.) But first we’re gonna hold them in a mass detention camp in the middle of the Everglades.

Surrounded by alligators. (https://www.npr.org/2025/06/24/nx-s1-5443268/alligator-alcatraz-florida-everglades-migrant-detention-center) With snakes and panthers thrown in for good measure. Even if they get past the fences, what can they do from there?

Can the gators hold Mr. Badguy? Or will he escape to execute his horrendous plot against America? 

Predictably, leftids are whining and whinging about this cruel treatment of cuddly little MS13 gang members.

Could we please not listen to them anymore… ever?

Our President! Neera Tanden (???)

BREAKING: Ex-Biden Aide Neera Tanden Admits Under Oath to House Oversight Committee That She Controlled Joe Biden’s Autopen

No one ever voted for her. She never ran for president.

Nevertheless, from October of 2021 through May of 2023, “Ex-aide”–what exactly is that?–Neera Tanden controlled President Joe Biden’s autopen… shaping government policy while the, um, president played golf.

“We had a system,” she says. Yeah, I’ll bet you did.

Congress questioned her behind closed doors for four hours the other day. We do not know what they asked her, nor how she answered.

Should we be getting ready to put her picture on a coin?

Prof Hopes Iran Strikes US Base

A pair of clergyman wearing turbans and woven cloaks in deep conversation outside a shrine.

“No worries, brother! Georgetown has our backs.”

Let us quote a professor at Georgetown University, who said this:

“I hope Iran does some symbolic strike on a base, then everyone stops” (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/georgetown-professor-under-fired-after-posting-iran-should/).

What? Does he think some Democrat sits there dremmeling in the White House, unable to take any action requiring a verb?

Well, he quickly deleted his post, once he saw what normal people thought of it. Not quick enough to say it never happened.

Would he have stood up and cheered when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor?

What’s with these academics and Democrat politicians lining up behind Iran? Is that their plan to win the next election?

The world needs the extinction of the Democrat Party.

And throw in the teachers’ unions while we’re at it.

The New War: On Again, Off Again

Iran Fires Missile Barrage Toward Israel

Watching the missiles come in

Put a hold on everything: the war isn’t over, after all.

When I went to bed last night there was a cease-fire between Iran and Israel. When I got up this morning, there wasn’t.

Now it’s back on, we’re told.

President Trump is trying to broker a peace deal while erasing Iran’s ability to acquire nuclear weapons. Please honk if you think Iran should have nuclear weapons. There’s surely a seat for you on the Democrat National Committee.

Donald Trump–Superstar!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Boy howdy, if the bad guys in Iran had seen this video, they might not have pulled Trump’s chain!

Back in 2009, now-President Donald Trump, then a New York City and media bigwig (“You’re fired!”) had a feud going with Vince McMahon, president of the World Wrestling Federation. They decided to let proxies duke it out in the ring; but that went south in a hurry, and the next thing we knew, Trump was bouncing McMahon off the floor.

It was 16 years ago. (I’m not so sure about the dates given on line, so suffice it to say this happened quite a while ago. I saw it on my own TV.)

Fast forward: Trump has appointed McMahon’s daughter Secretary of Education.

Democrats hate her, too.

What the Devil Was This?

Are they going to catch those clowns?

So… World Music Day in France, huge holiday, streets and sidewalks full of people listening to, grooving on, and playing music. What could go wrong?

You’ll never guess.

https://nypost.com/2025/06/22/world-news/teen-girls-among-145-stabbed-with-syringes-across-france-at-popular-music-festival-12-sickos-arrested/

French police have arrested a dozen wackos who went around sticking people with syringes–145 victims, including many teenage girls. We do not know what was in the syringes. If the French cops know, they have not yet shared the information. Some of the victims are now in the hospital. Again, information is being withheld.

The music festival celebrates the summer solstice. Shades of the Wicker Man.

I expect this story to be buried before we really find out anything. But we’ll see.”

USAF ‘Obliterates’ Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Program

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

B-2 bombers smite Iran

While we slept, our air force “obliterated” Iran’s three nuclear sites (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/president-trump-sent-multiple-decoy-bombers-pacific-ocean/) . So we are at war with Iran.

Well, we told ’em, didn’t we, that they’d better make a beeline for the negotiating table. We told ’em that we would not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. If you can think of any reason why they should have nuclear weapons, go to the rear of the class and hide in the cloakroom.

Iran’s been the JD of the Middle East ever since they kicked out the shah in 1979. Lately they’ve been using their puppets, like Hamas, to attack Israel. They’ve also launched terrorist attacks in several other Middle Eastern countries.

And threatened all kinds of revenge against America.

So we’re taking away their weapons. Sorry, but it had to be done.
