And now, it being both a weekend and me being behind

on posting, some clearing is needed

And now, on to

Know those times you start to point out a slight problem with what someone said,

and find yourself thinking "Why bother?"  Someone used to know, who I'd thought pretty level-headed, but damn.  She has Trump Derangement Syndrome badly, and now she's part of the "Trump got Jimmy Kimmel fired!" brigade.

That he was losing audience and money for the past while from what I've read, and then went out and said some stupid things that really pissed off lost of customers?  No, couldn't possibly be that, nooo...

There was some news earlier today, Pres. Trump is declaring antifa a terrorist group.  Actually gets done, it's going to be a nightmare for them, because that means intelligence as well as law enforcement going after them and the people who give them money, with no friendly/scared mayors and city council clowns providing them assistance.  I'm sure the Usual Suspects will insist they're just peaceful protesters- "Just ignore them blinding people with lasers and trying to commit mass murder by arson and all that other stuff, that's just free speech, after all"- but they've hurt a LOT of people, and done a LOT of damage, and a lot of people are going to be real happy that this is done.  Which will probably make at least some of the bastards a bit desperate, so if you're in an area where they operate, you might want to be extra careful the next while.

It is a testament to the wholesale moronization of our culture that there are gazillions of apparently sane people willing to take out six figures of debt they'll be paying off for decades for the privilege of being 'taught' by the likes of Professor Bray. The reason 'we don't look back at the Weimar Republic today and celebrate them for allowing Nazis to have their free-speech rights' is because they didn't.

The Weimar Republic was so hostile to freedom of expression you'd think the Chancellor was Mark Zuckerberg or that pre-Musk Twitter weirdbeard.
With details following.

I now need to make sure all the bits and pieces are put away for the night, and get some things ready for tomorrow.

A new-to-me PC is installed,

and on some points Windows 11 is a PITA.  For instance, unless you know to change some settings, anything you save, or copy over, can get 'saved' to Onedisk.  Screw that noise.  Some other things are different, enough that it's a pain to find what you're looking for until you get used to it.  I swear, they look for things they can make difficult.

Yes, the Aztec really were a bloody-handed bunch,

and no, the Spanish didn't make this stuff  up to excuse the conquest.

Between personal stuff, and the idiocy of the leftists

insisting 'Everything is on both sides!' I just haven't felt much like writing. So, instead,
