McMaster: An Islamic national security threat

“If you loved the foreign policy that brought us 9/11, ISIS, and billions in funding to terrorists from Syria to Libya to the West Bank, you won’t be able to get enough of McMaster’s brand new NSC….The swamp is overflowing. The National Security Council is becoming a national security threat.”

Clearly Trump needs to fire McMaster and bring back the loyalists McM fired.

Google: A PC Monoculture

“Google’s left bias has created a politically correct monoculture that maintains its hold by shaming dissenters into silence. This silence removes any checks against encroaching extremist and authoritarian policies.”

A tech employee steps out of the monoculture putting himself at risk of being fired.

UPDATE: PJMedia weighs in with diversity is conformity. No kidding.

MORE: The tech employee has been fired.

Mueller’s grand jury

From comenter Julian Hill at the WSJ:

“Crooked Mueller–appointed to investigate a crime when no crime has been identified and fatally conflicted due to his relationship with BFF Lyin’Jim (‘I’m Nauseous’) Comey, after recruiting 16 ‘unbiased’ former Clinton bundler/shysters now forges ahead in his illegal,unethical safari into the heart of the swamp as he impanels a D.C. Jury prepared to indict a ham sandwich if nothing more substantial is on offer.The Deep State crooked, dishonest, unethical, murderous, and above all self interested, gears up to oppose, thwart,and delay the work of the duly elected POTUS–illustrating once again their determination to oppose, at every turn, the will of the American people, and if possible effect a silent coup–in this case not so silent…”

Eating garbage in Venezuela

“‘Then true hunger crept into where I lived. People started digging through the trash at all hours, pulling out vegetable peelings and soggy pizza crusts and eating them on the spot. That seemed like rock bottom. Until my local bakery started organizing lines each morning, not to buy bread but to eat trash.

“‘People waited for their turn to hunt through black bags of bakery garbage. A young woman found a box of muffin crumbs. A teenage boy focused on finding juice containers and drinking whatever remained.’

“Socialists are not more moral than the rest of us. On the contrary, they are greedier and more cynical. Socialism is evil, and must be ostracized as such. Venezuela’s collapse is just the latest in a long series of stories that remind us that the only path to freedom and prosperity is free enterprise.”

Headspace

Headspace is Mr. Boy’s new 10-minute companion: Guided meditation from a smooth-talking English Tibetan monk whose $250 million company is looking to grow way beyond its already millions-of-users base.

The idea for Mr. B. is to find relief from stress, more patience and general peace of mind. I haven’t noticed an increase in patience but these are early days. And he’s using the “take 10” free version of the downloadable mindfulness app through earbuds on his iPhone.

If I do see an increase in patience, I’ll spring for the subscriber fee of $6.24 a month for a two-year deal. It’ll be well worth it for me, as well as for him.

Younger Next Year

The Younger Next Year books are inspirational for us old fogies, in that they prescribe “long and slow” aerobic exercise (treadmilling, mainly) for bodily improvement across the board. Not to mention improving your mood.

Prolonged (45 minutes) low-intensity exercise, at up to 65 percent of peak heart rate (96 to 102 bpm for me) brings more endurance and general healthiness. Continued over months and years, it improves your circulatory system, which saves your life (from heart attacks, stroke) and improves it (bye-bye erectile dysfunction) by tricking your hunter-gatherer brain into thinking you’re foraging. Hunting takes more muscle exercise but that comes later, after the aerobic has you feeling fit.

After five months of it, I’m almost ready to enter hunter mode. But it can wait. There’s no rush. I have the rest of my life, after all.
