In this rainy weather, it’s good to see that Billy Cat is camping out and staying dry in the old gazebo in our back yard. He and his bowls of food are usually safe from pushy raccoons during daylight, but those pushy critters do try to steal his food as soon as dark starts creeping in. Even with daylight, if… Read more »

Australia Let’s be honest, people. This continent has been a lost cause for thousands of years.  The British, for 60 or 70 years, shipped their Cockney criminals, psychotic Scotsmen and lunatic Irishmen to the wilds of Australia.  The ones that didn’t die or weren’t murdered by each other or the Aborigines had to avoid kangaroos, platypus, deadly snakes, stinky koala… Read more »

22 Tedtam I think Childers is reading the wrong reports on the Venezuelan/Guyana story. Brazil isn’t sending troops to support Maduro.  Everybody in the region hates him and his regime thugs.  The Venezuelan refugees are so desperate they have caused all kinds of havoc along the borders of and in Ecuador, Colombia, Guyana and Brazil.  It is very ugly down… Read more »

Major solar flares causing major auroras.  Maybe Texanadian will get to enjoy them.  Ah, well. But Australia gets to enjoy a rat population explosion. According to the story, hordes of big, hairy rats are swarming north through the southernmost continent and towards its coasts, with government officials darkly warning of a pestilential “Rat Plague.” According to excited reports, Rattus villosissimus are overrunning… Read more »

RE: Venezuela making moves on Guyana, presumably to acquire the good oil there: For a lot of complicated and historical reasons, the Venezuela-Guyana conflict is likely to quickly spark into a regional flame, which is why Reuters reported that Brazil is sending troops to its northern border — in support of Venezuela. But there may be a simpler root cause. The analysts… Read more »

I’ve seen headlines about a “white lung” disease breakout, supposedly another Chinese import, but Childers brings up the fact that this “epidemic” consists of multiple outbreaks of existing childhood respiratory diseases and not some novel virus. It is NOT the disease du jour, but — why so many and all at once? …This article provided two hints. Just like in… Read more »

After I fed all the cats and had my own breakfast this morning, I had a short shopping list and intended to go out. But I was dragging my feet, and in fact ended up just going back to bed. Now, theoretically, I’m awake, just ate a late lunch, and have no inclination to go out. We’ll see…

So, the House votes to kick out George Santos with 105 Republicans and 206 Democrats voting to oust him, well over the 290 needed to boot him out. Meanwhile over in the Senate Bob Menendez has been charged with far worse crimes and not a word has been said about kicking him out. Can someone ‘Splain that to me? Brother… Read more »

The 40-page blueprint — dubbed the “Jericho Wall” by Israeli officials — mapped out major details of the invasion that led to the deadliest day in Israel’s history, but did not specify a date for when such an attack would be launched, the New York Times reported Thursday, citing documents, emails and interviews. Israeli officials leafed through the 40-page document… Read more »

Agreed.

A few days ago, lawprof Glenn Reynolds brought up the bizarre phenomena of women becoming obsessed with mass murderers and serial rapists in prisons as similar to the current lurid fascination by young females with savage, barbaric Hamas terrorists.

Over the last two years, Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn has spent millions to drain what his group has characterized as the “Austin swamp.” It’s not exactly working out very well. Dunn and Defend Texas Liberty have bankrolled a slew of eyebrow-raising candidates. Dunn gave $275,000—and Defend Texas Liberty $160,000—to disgraced former state legislator Bryan Slaton (R.), who was unanimously… Read more »

Josh Kraushaar reposted the video to X from the Carter memorial service and made the same observation I did about the Westboro Baptist Church.  Kraushaar is a political analyst in DC and Fox News contributor.

I read De Carlo was very outgoing and popular with the film crews.  She apparently was not a prima donna.

The Hollywood cameramen voted her Technicolor Queen one year.

She was 5’4″ with what looks like a 22″ waist. It’s amazing how many of the early film stars, women and many men, were small people.

Yvonne De Carlo was the pseudonym of a very Canadian girl from Vancouver without, probably, a drop of Italian blood.  The beautiful Italian actresses had been all the rage with film audiences so Margaret Yvonne Middleton became Yvonne De Carlo. Yvonne was a Republican and the first Hollywood film star to visit Israel after it achieved nationhood in 1948. She… Read more »
