Seventh eve

There's a front coming in that should change the weather from 'Standing in the sun is like standing with your back to a forge' to 'Hey, now this is standard late August temperatures.'

In celebration, I dedicate this collection to 'Weather fronts that don't try to kill you'

Anyone who disagrees is either ignorant or a fool

It still amazes me how many journalists, whose work depends on the 1st Amendment,

have decided that it should only apply to whom and what they approve of.

Stupid bastards.

Sixth eve has come around,

And something amazing:

This is Paulina Porizhova, and she's 58

Yes, they want to do it to us again

The United States federal government has signed recent contracts to purchase Covid supplies and equipment following health officials’ warning about an alleged spike in Covid cases. This comes after speculation that the Biden administration will reinstate pandemic-era mandates, according to War Room.
They need some ways to keep people scared and obedient.

From what I've read one of the 'alarming' cases was a guy in a hospital for something, who was asymptomatic and tested positive.  So no symptoms, but "We must panic anyway!"

Bastards.

'after intense public backlash'

Backlash was called for.  Unfortunately, it did not occur at the level actually deserved.

Germany, get off your ass and treat these child-molesting assholes as they deserve.

Borrowed from a friend on Fecesbook

"The Release from Deception" by Italian sculptor Francesco Queirolo - completed in 1759 after 7 years of work. It depicts a fisherman being released from netting by an angel, allegorical to the man being liberated from his sins.

So intricate was the work that 18th-century philosopher Giangiuseppe Origlia described it as “the last and most trying test to which sculpture in marble can aspire.”

Queirolo worked alone on his magnum opus, without an assistant or even a workshop. Even other sculptors refused to touch the delicate net in case it broke into pieces in their hands.

The masterpiece is housed at the Sansevero Chapel in Naples, with several other miracles of marble. Namely, "The Veiled Christ" (1753) by Giuseppe Sanmartino and "The Veiled Truth" (1750) by Antonio Corradini.
The artistry and craftsmanship is awe-inspiring, that's the only description I can come up with.

Helluva doorstop

When you find out that doorstop really is a meteorite, and worth some serious cash.


Dishonest 'reporting': it's what CNN does.


Started with 'Let's ban guns'
That didn't work, so it became 'Let's ban handguns'
That became 'Let's ban assault weapons'
That became 'We just want common-sense gun safety laws(that won't let you own a gun)'
Gov. Hairgel now has 'Gun safety freedoms'.


Judge holds three of the antifa who attacked Andy Ngo have to cough up money.  They'll have a hell of a time getting them to actually do it, but they were held responsible.  For what that's worth.


It's always in the last place you look.


Yet not a one of them was used in a crime.
And I'm seeing a lot of fired cases being described as 'ammunition'.

ANYTHING that makes owning firearms look bad, they'll push,

no matter how much bullshit is involved.
Gun-related deaths among children in the U.S. reached a distressing peak in 2021, claiming 4,752 young lives and surpassing the record total seen during the first year of the pandemic, a new analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data found.

The alarming statistic clearly indicated that America’s gun violence epidemic has gotten worse, experts say.

Uh huh. Now we have
More than 80% of the gun deaths were among males 19 and younger. Black male children were more likely to die from homicide. White males 19 and younger were more likely to kill themselves with guns.
First, I wonder how high they'll go to count teenagers as 'children'? And how many of those deaths are among or because of gangbangers?

..."The most likely reason that your child will die in this country is at the hands of a firearm. That’s not acceptable.”
Please, someone ask him how 'at the hands of a firearm' works.  And point out that the 'most likely reason' crap has been disproved.

Black children continue to be disproportionately affected. Gee, I wonder why? Could that 'defund the police, we don't want them in these neighborhoods' stuff mayhap have anything to do with it"

And on, and on.  Same kind of stuff they've been pushing for years.  Including this:
“Although we can say this is an issue that might not affect everybody, it really does,” he said. “If you look at the spikes in gun injuries, it’s hitting all communities. It doesn’t matter where you live.”
Bullshit.  If it doesn't matter where you live, there wouldn't be those disproportionate deaths in black communities.  And there wouldn't be so much upset from the idiot activists about the idea of getting more cops in the most troubled places and letting them ACTUALLY DO THE JOB, and prosecutors ACTUALLY PUTTING VIOLENT CRIMINALS IN JAIL.

Be it known that at 100f, and 40% and up humidity,

that having shade, a breeze, and a fan, does not prevent you getting too damn hot.

This was not a good day for casting bullets.

Well, this is kind of awful

It is one of Queen's best-loved songs but Fat Bottomed Girls has been mysteriously dropped from the group's new Greatest Hits collection.

The 1978 track, which was written by guitarist Brian May, has been enjoyed by generations of fans as a humorous and hard-rocking tribute to a young man's appreciation of fuller-figured ladies.

A few years ago I posted an electrolyte mix recipe,

it had worked really well for me.  Just remembered it last night and dug up the mix:
2 quarts water
6 tablespoons honey powder (you can use honey, but honey powder is a bit easier to mix)
2 teaspoons Himalayan pink sea salt
2/3 cup lemon juice (if you prefer another citrus juice, you can use it instead)
1/2 teaspoon orange extract (for flavor; without it, the taste is fairly blah)

That's the original.  Over time I changed a couple of things:
The sea salt has some other minerals in, I'm told, but plain salt seems to work.  And you can do something else: use half salt, and half Morton Lite Salt, which is half potassium.  
I'm only using 3 tablespoons of honey, seems to be plenty.
Can also use orange juice or lime juice, big factor is some type of citrus.

And this was all ok'd by the asshat Garland illegally appointed Special Counsel

In October 2022, reports surfaced that federal prosecutors felt they had enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden over a false statement related to buying a gun, according to Politico, citing internal communications between Hunter’s legal team and the DOJ. Hunter Biden’s attorney Chris Clark wrote in a 32-page letter to U.S. Attorney David Weiss, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, arguing that the leak was “illegal,” and any charges brought would violate the Second Amendment and be viewed as a partisan attack.

“President Biden now unquestionably would be a fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial,” Clark wrote in the letter obtained by Politico. “This of all cases justifies neither the spectacle of a sitting President testifying at a criminal trial nor the potential for a resulting Constitutional crisis.”
Your client's male parent being put on the stand would not be a 'Constitutional crisis', you lying bastard, just a horrible problem for he and your client.

And then we have this:
The Department of Justice (DOJ)’s original deal with Hunter Biden would not have required him to plead guilty, according to documents obtained by Politico, but was altered after whistleblowers came forward shedding light on the DOJ’s handling of the case.

Hunter Biden’s lawyers sent a draft deal to prosecutors in May that not only included a version of the promise of broad immunity for future charges that appeared in the final deal, but also that their client need not plead guilty — a detail the DOJ initially accepted, Politico reported. DOJ prosecutor Lesley Wolf then sent Hunter’s legal team a list of “must-haves” as part of negotiations, with a guilty plea not included in the list.

But days after IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley publicly stated in an interview with CBS News that the DOJ “slow-walked” the investigation, prosecutors said Hunter Biden would need to plead guilty to the two misdemeanor tax charges, sources told Politico.
You can just imagine how fair and unbiased Weiss would be as a Special Counsel.

It's gone beyond stupid to sickening

Joe Biden's transgender health secretary has praised an Alaska gender-affirming care clinic which wants the word 'mother' replaced with the phrase 'egg producer.'
...The Alaska-based company she visited promotes ideas that children should learn that doctors 'assign' gender to babies by making a 'guess' - while also promoting the use of 'gender-inclusive biology.'
I have to go with Ms. Kelly:
