Pronoun comedy

“Soon, however, the conflict erupted again when Meriwether forgot and said, “Mr. Doe.” Even though he immediately corrected himself, the damage had been done. Doe again complained about Meriwether’s unequal treatment of students in class, saying that (s)he might hire a lawyer and bring a Title IX action against the university if something weren’t done about the professor.”

Really quite ludicrous, except for the suppression of free speech. Screw the little twerp and the judge who found for him. Her. It.

The Expanse expands

Posted on December 15, 2019 | Comments Off on The Expanse expands

Season 4 is up and running. As usual, with my poor hearing, the story gets less of my attention than the special effects. The show’s claim to being really scientific, however, gets blown up every time we hear a rocket engine burning somewhere or an explosion in space. Really now.

Must not remember the old horror movie poster line: In space, nobody can hear you scream.

The good Sally

Posted on December 3, 2019 | Comments Off on The good Sally

Back when I was a police reporter I covered fires and crime scenes at which the Salvation Army invariably showed up and dispensed coffee and donuts free of charge. Even to reporters. With no religious talk whatsoever.

I like to donate stuff to them instead of Goodwill with its high-paid executives, and will double-down on the commitment now that the Sally is under assault from the Left. Who isn’t?

“We believe we are the largest provider of poverty relief to the LGBTQ+ population,” The Salvation Army said in a statement after Chick-fil-A announced its decision [to stop contributing to them for their alleged discrimination]. As the Wall Street Journal concluded, “Considering it serves nearly 25 million people every year, that’s likely true.”

Leader of the Coup

Posted on November 17, 2019 | Comments Off on Leader of the Coup

“Although many people believe that the FBI launched the Trump-Russia conspiracy probe, it was actually John Brennan who relentlessly pushed it on the Bureau. Note that he did this while the CIA is not supposed to intrude on domestic politics. That didn’t matter to him. He was anti-Trump, and so he made sure the FBI would do something against the man who’d end up winning the 2016 presidential election.”

Brennan even hired and placed in the White House the Schiff impeachment charade’s CIA whistleblowerleaker. Cozy, eh?

UPDATE: VDH: Public coup talk is now permissable in the deep state.

Been offline for almost three days. Back on after Spectrum replaced the modem. Hurrah. Being without Internet is a lot like going cold-turkey off an addictive drug.

Stop talking about racism

Posted on July 17, 2019 | Comments Off on Stop talking about racism

“…it’s the only way to end racism—stop talking about it. We already have laws against it, for a long time now, as we should. And they should be strictly enforced. But the rest of the blah-blah has got to go. It only makes people hate each other. It creates racism rather than solves it.”—Roger L. Simon

India goes for Luna

Posted on July 14, 2019 | Comments Off on India goes for Luna

Blast off of an Indian orbiter, a 1.4-ton moon lander and a 56-pound robot mobile rover on the far side of the moon is today, seven months after the Chinese put a lander on the far side of the moon.

These landers are preparation for manned explorations, including establishment of moon bases, however small at first. Trump reportedly is (take that for what it’s worth) angry that NASA isn’t moving faster on putting Americans back on the moon by 2024.

NASA is a biiiggg bureaucracy—with lots of paperwork—which moves at a snail’s pace. I’m betting on the first base being Chinese.
