Yes, it's time.

So I can get it done and kick back and ease the joints.

Came out just in time for the weekend,

for some reason.
A former Obama administration staffer is blowing the whistle on the Biden family's business dealings, accusing President Biden of being involved in a "kickback scheme" in connection with his son Hunter's overseas business dealings while he was vice president.

Mike McCormick, a stenographer for the White House for 15 years, told "Fox & Friends First" the FBI has been ignoring his alarms on the matter despite his willingness to testify under oath before the federal grand jury investigating Hunter.
...
Hunter joined the board of the Ukrainian natural gas firm on April 18, just three days before Biden and his team traveled to Kyiv. But that critical piece of the puzzle was not made public until May 12.

McCormick argued the timeline of the events suggests that Biden funneled American money overseas to "enrich" himself and his family, and used his own influence to aid his son's rookie energy career.
Among other things, makes you wonder what Obama & Co. stand to gain from this coming out; say, someone just waiting to run for President and be elected to save us from the corrupt/incompetent Biden admin?

Now the prescribed course for the hip is PT,

so, hopefully, can get that set up next week.

And now is the time for the visual distractions from discomfort.  Or just for enjoyment.  Say both.

A small clearing

President Gropey, and far too many ass-kissing clowns with rank on their shoulders, really do want to drive people out Link fixed

of the military; if they can't drive them out, let them know that they're second-class and will be treated as such.

Makes you wonder if part of this is that they want to get rid of as many as possible who just might really consider if an order is illegal, and who really hold by that oath to uphold the Constitution.  Because those people just might be a problem in things the asshats have planned.

The desire for racist incidents and hate crimes far exceeds the supply,

which is why bastards like this lie about it.

Wonder how much damage his lies have done to how many lives?

Now throw in this.  How much would you bet that most, if not all, of the 'racist graffiti' was made by black students?  And this:
..after some members of a fraternity hurled a “verbal racial epithet” at an African American Student.
I'd like to know exactly what was said, because calling someone an asshole(sometimes because they acted like one) could be called that by the grievance mongers.

Damn Obama for pushing for as much trouble as possible between races.

Today wound up involving a lot more driving than expected, and

and put me about six hours behind.  So I'm going to link a few things.

The American Library Association is apparently shooting for the title of Groomer Central.


Short version of something I read about two years or so ago, which fits this story:
"So I have a penis, I still identify as a female!  So if you won't have sex with me it means you're a transphobe, and I'll spread the word and ruin you!"
Which boils down to using blackmail to get away with rape.  Isn't that just effing wonderful?



“The women, up until the MeToo movement, always lost, always lost. Then MeToo was totally an overreach and got disgusting and weird and political. We started just emerging with scalps without any probing or facts, and it fell apart thanks to the Left, frankly, and what they did to [Brett] Kavanaugh and Time’s Up,” Kelly said.

The latter refers to the failed organization’s allegiance with accused abuser Gov. Andrew Cuomo and inability to defend alleged victims like Tara Reade. The former staffer of then-Sen. Joe Biden claims the Democrat sexually attacked her in 1993.

“We’re back to where we started … the progress has been eroded. The MeToo movement has been exploded and women really have nowhere to turn. You can leave the set in tears after being screamed at by [Lemon], who I bet has a long HR personnel file, and they just say, ‘re-educating training, bye.’ Not good enough.”
Yeah, when the accusations about Biden raping her came out, and his fondling of both women and underage girls was brought back up(with the left either ignoring that or making excuses), MeToo just kind of disappeared for some reason.

Yeesh. When you actually want to do yard work, but

part of you doesn't want to...
Yes, the hip is still a problem.  And I need to get and appointment and see where we go from here.  Of course, it doesn't help that had to go on a drive a few days ago to take care of Mom's yard, and it flat wore me out.  Managed to finish, but... 

May have to find a yard guy in her area to take care of it if this doesn't get better.

Well, joy, Blogger is playing games updated

One post unpublished for violating community guidelines, one put behind a warning.  But they don't tell you which posts.  Very damn helpful.

Added: the 'sensitive content' was on a post about a UN small arms treaty; apparently indications that blue-helmeted people showing up to seize arms would be treated badly is a 'no-no' to Google.  Big surprise, right?
Ah, the other violates the 'malware and viruses policy'.  But they don't tell you why.  Big help.

Well, he's not wrong

"These people may be guilty of BadThink, so

keep an eye on them!"
But I'm sure we can trust them not to abuse this crap, right?


"Don't report on this, we don't want the commoners to know we screwed up again!


Why yes, a lot of doctors and others have real problems with 'gender affirming care'.


Some of these trans people are, let's say, unbalanced.  And dangerous.  And note that if this asshole had not been released without bail for felony charges, the victim might be alive.


"Who cares what happens in those countries, we want the material for electric cars!"

That's it for now, been tied up with family stuff and need to get other stuff caught up.

There was a book I read years ago called 'Flare', (updated with link)

about the effects of solar flares when things have been quiet and people forgot/aren't thinking of what they do.  Well, one just reminded everyone.  I'll try to find a link for the book when have time.
Update: I found it.


And the leftists seem to have a high proportion of violent assholes among their ranks, don't they?  This time, this one killed his own kid.

This is going to require some more reading

But this is no early Celt from central Scotland. This is the mummified corpse of Cherchen Man, unearthed from the scorched sands of the Taklamakan Desert in the far-flung region of Xinjiang in western China, and now housed in a new museum in the provincial capital of Urumqi. In the language spoken by the local Uighur people in Xinjiang, “Taklamakan” means: “You come in and never come out.”

The extraordinary thing is that Cherchen Man was found – with the mummies of three women and a baby – in a burial site thousands of miles to the east of where the Celts established their biggest settlements in France and the British Isles.
