It has been a long day and I am tired. Last night, I fell asleep at 11 PM and woke up at 3 AM and was never able to go back to sleep. I’m running on fumes.

Damned statins and beta blockers.

Back from the Houston Museum of Fine Arts this afternoon to view more artists’ paintings from the late 1800s into the early 1900s. They are the generation following the Impressionists. Their work slowly begins what becomes the modernist era. You do not have to stand on your head to figure out what the paintings are… Read more »

And my clearance “I’m about to die!!!” rose that I bought last spring (and that was mowed down by Hubby) is doing well this year. I’m getting blooms and a lot more leaves. It was hanging by a thread during the summer; I made a canopy to shade it and made sure it got watered… Read more »

I just watered the garden and harvested greens for tonight’s meal: chard, lettuce, and amaranth for the salad, and some herbs for seasoning. I like chard raw as a salad green. The lemon thyme smells awesome, so it’s part of tonight’s seasoning. My chocolate mint is making a comeback now that I’ve rid it of… Read more »

AYAAN HIRSI ALI discusses the dissolution of our higher education. Excerpt: Now we are witnessing the completion of the university’s unraveling. We hardly even produce professionals now, but activists who take a few Zoom classes on racialized communism and spend the rest of their time scrolling TikTok and indulging resentment. Middle managers may not be… Read more »

And now Biden has the ability to confiscate Russian assets: The United States has never before confiscated the sovereign assets of another nation in the absence of a formally declared war. The asset seizure targeting Russian assets is unprecedented, historic, and utterly new. The risk of wildly unpredictable unanticipated results seems extremely, if not unacceptably, high.So there… Read more »

In today’s C&C, Mr. Childers makes a very important point that is not being argued at SCOTUS: sovereign immunity. I recommend reading his whole argument. Government is immune from lawsuits: judges, commissioners, legislators, et al. There is a reason for that. The President is THE Executive Branch of the government. All nine Justices, including the… Read more »

I had to stop to consult with Hubby regarding concrete stain purchases for the renovated unit. Then finished today’s rosary – purple & gold. I haven’t had time to pray it yet, but then O’Reilly is on my talk show, so now would be a good time. I turned the radio off for the duration.… Read more »

Wow. Claudine Gay was basically fired from Harvard for this. Ahmed Mubarak is a full Professor of Economics at Yale University. He’s calling out the president of Columbia University here.

The lying, worthless SOBs. This was dated yesterday. This morning, a briefing will be held by the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) for “the Hill” regarding their interim rule regarding the “pause” on the issuance of new government licenses for firearms, related components and  ammunition for “nongovernmental end users.” The Outdoor Wire has… Read more »

IMHO, the quality of Healthcare (not including new techniques and drugs) started to decline with the beginning of Medicare. The capacity of government to take something that works pretty well and screw it up totally, making it much more expensive and less efficient is breath taking.

I *was* going in for an appointment to see about this sciatica. I had waited until the new insurance changes, followed by a PCP change back to my regular doctor from the random one I had been assigned to, were in effect. I logged in this morning, assured myself that the changes had happened, printed… Read more »

To repair a broken lipstick, melt the broken pieces slightly over a match flame to glue them back together and then put it in the fridge.

Caroline Glick says it is extremely dangerous for Israel right now, mainly because of the Biden administration back door, back-stabbing war against Israel through political and diplomatic channels. One example: Consider the news from the International Criminal Court at The Hague. Israel is not a member of the ICC. But to seize jurisdiction over Israel,… Read more »

Well, today’s generation may have to be on guard for false AI generated fodder, our generation had to deal with cleverly veiled fake reports from Weekly World News.

I heard NYPD had arrested this, uh, person…he, she, it. You really need to watch the video. One of the most vocal student activists leading the anti-Israel Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University, Khymani James, openly stated in an live-stream of an official university inquiry in January that “Zionists don’t deserve to live.”James, who states in… Read more »

Well, this is good news. The violent, antisemitic protests at some of the nation’s elite colleges has forced top corporate recruiters to assess the quality of the education dispensed at these places — and whether they should look elsewhere for job candidates, the Post has learned.Activist investor Daniel Loeb, a Columbia University graduate, has begun to reconsider whether to focus offering jobs… Read more »

This is the curriculum vitae of the dean of the Department of Philosophy at Emory University in Atlanta. Mass stupidity erupted on campus among Hamas fan club members competing with one another for the most insane prize in Jew/Israel hatred sessions. Dean Noelle McAfee was arrested at the riot by Atlanta police. Noëlle McAfee is… Read more »

I’m not keeping up but I thought the contrast between Trump meeting the Union construction workers in NY and Biden receiving yet another Union endorsement was significant. Trump loved by the Union members and Biden loved by the Blood Sucking Leaches that take the Union members money and give it to the Democrats. The local… Read more »

This is only the beginning. It’s going to get much worse and the laws need to catch up. A black Baltimore high school athletics director has been charged with using AI to generate a recording of the school’s white principal going on a racist rant. Dazhon Darien, 31, previously worked as the athletic director at Pikesville High School… Read more »
