The Yazidi people were targeted by ISIS. I did not hear then – nor do I hear now – any outrage against Muslims who murdered, raped, and enslaved these people. I had heard so little for so long that I thought they had been completely annihilated as a people.
I remember seeing a video of ISIS fighters congregating in a hallway, discussing the distribution of the “spoils of war”. I can only imagine the women huddled together in the next room, waiting to be made sex slaves for their captors, forced to live under a strange and hostile culture, separated from their families and mourning the loss of husbands, fathers, and sons. One ISIS soldier was very excited, reminding me of a dog knowing his owner is just on the other side of the door. He happily exclaimed “I hope I get one with green eyes!” with a sickening grin on his face.
Islam codifies and encourages slavery, especially slavery as spoils of war. The Yazidi people may cease to exist unless they are protected. As more of them are taken or killed, there are fewer Yazidi to procreate new generations.

Someone tell the purple hair pronoun people that this is what an actual genocide is.
Texpat,
I had the same type of surgery for my atrial fib. That is the way they do things now instead of a big incision.
I’m to go back in a year to see how things are going. From my perspective things are fine. 🙂
I saw my vascular surgeon today. Yeah, I have one. He said I should come back in a year. Did you know these guys use internal tubes they slide into the aorta or major arteries these days like pipe and pipeline repair contractors do ? Instead of going in and making a big intrusive mess, they just slide an interior… Read more »
Tedtam, I was always struck by how beautiful and handsome the Yazidi people were from the photos back during the Iraq wars. The same goes for the Kurdish people. They don’t look at all like typical Arabs. It would be interesting to see the historical genetic profiles on all those people.
BTW, new dentist shares my appreciation of funky socks and appreciated my patient attitude. He said he had a pair of socks that he’ll wear for my surgery. I’m curious to see what they are.
Had my first meeting with my new dentist. I really like him. He reviewed my chart with me briefly and we made two appointments: one more post op to check on my continued healing from the last trauma inflicted upon my mouth, and an August 9 appointment for next surgery. He just called me and we discussed changes to the… Read more »
Termites are bad, evil Mojo. If they were under the laminate flooring, they most likely are already in the subfloor and joists. They work upwards usually. Maybe not…if you are lucky.
The House votes to hold Gramma Garland in contempt of Congress.
Arrrrggghhh we have been blessed with a termite population. Found them under the corpse of laminate flooring. So far I do not know if they damaged the subfloor. The pest control people will start the eradication process next Wednesday. That is the best I could get in well established bug businesses. with other companies we were looking at multiple weeks… Read more »
Well, it’s been one of those days – but I got this tossed in the crockpot, and have successfully shredded the chicken, stirred in a can of LeSeur Sweet Peas, and have water ready to boil for the noodles to go in it… I love coming up with dinners as easy as a “boxed Helper” dinner – but the only… Read more »
Dang I’m missing out on a lot this week but I’ve been real busy and haven’t been dropping by. I’ll try to do better.

Paxton whips Biden’s ass in Federal Court over Title IX rewrite – a huge victory to protect the women of America.
Note to self: stop hurting yourself! I have jammed my thumb, so I’m sitting here on the couch with an ice pack on my hand, and dictating this post into my phone.
Tucker Carlson exposes just how hyper-partisan and corrupt the FBI is in this interview.
Tucker can really irritate me at times, in this case he rips away any figleaf of dignity the FBI ever claimed to have. Invest the 15 minutes and watch.

I did not know the legalized pot industry was not doing well. Does not matter as the narrative is, as the indulgers I know claim, it is doing just swell. I think they view it as a win against government authoritative types, when actually they just handed over to them.
I’m thinking Biden will go ahead and pardon Hunter anyway right as he leaves office in January 2025 if he loses. If he wins, he can still commute the sentence next year leaving the conviction in place.
All the talk about Republican voter enthusiasm and engagement is, well, hopeful and overly optimistic enthusiasm for republicant’s? Are you kidding me? The party led by a phony preacher and hundreds of other backstabbers. The party that perpetually kisses totalitariancrat butts and gives them everything they want.

America Could See Surge in People Not Voting
Gee… I wonder why?
Do Not Get Cocky. All the talk about Republican voter enthusiasm and engagement is, well, hopeful and overly optimistic. Voters on the Right talk a big game, but often don’t walk the walk. This congressional district voted for Trump over Biden in 2020 by 29% and yet their new representative wins by only 9% ? Rulli, of Salem, was leading… Read more »

I want to see an 8 X 10 inch glossy color photo of the BIG PICTURE I am supposed to see
I want to see the boat I am not supposed to rock.

Mr. Childers wraps up his column with the revelation that even in deep blue cities like San Francisco, Trump is overperforming in the fundraising and participation departments. He is making inroads into the traditionally Dem voting blocs such as the black vote, et al. While the left sits either dumbfounded with jaws agape, or wringing their hands while wailing into… Read more »
I put this phrase into a DDG search and received quite a few stories on the woes of the legal pot industry, not the least of which is the plentiful illegal pot available on the streets in every state. Soon, I believe the federal government will legalize pot, put their regulations on it and as well as federal taxation. The… Read more »

First: the narrative that Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict is how the left will portray the DOJ as “impartial” or “fair” or “unbiased”. And the sky is not blue, it is red. The significance of Hunter’s conviction is debatable. Immediately following the verdict, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt argued, “This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real… Read more »
I think I have enough time for the C&C before leaving for my appointment: Good morning, C&C, it’s Wednesday!

I guess I’ll eat breakfast this morning instead of waiting until lunch time. I meet my new dentist this morning, right about the time I’d be getting hungry. Hubby’s is working on my car, but will interrupt his day to drive me.
He wants me to put me in a workable car soon.
I had not seen any of the pushback on Didn’t Earn It, I see it is out there though. When I first saw it, I thought it was referring to Obama’s They Didn’t Build That, which I don’t think aged well.
Great reading this morning Texpat. Thank you.
Re: Government Regulated Marijuana
My predictions that once government took over the Mary Jane was costs would skyrocket and quality would plummet have not come true, it appears to be a thriving industry in states that have legalized it.
Garland was born too late and in the wrong place. He would have fit very comfortably in the Politburo of the Soviet Union. Garland is the dangerous gasbag.

George Orwell despaired at the linguistic atrocities of propagandists, but he did offer one bit of hope in his famous essay, “Politics and the English Language.” While lamenting that “political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible,” he noted that some abuses of the language were vulnerable to “jeers” from a few critics. “Silly words and expressions… Read more »
Shannon’s reaction to my comment about this story. My batting average on predictions would get me fired from a 2A farm team, but my prognostications many years ago about the disaster that would occur if the federal government became involved in the marijuana business have come gloriously true. It’s almost comical. On Martha’s Vineyard, they’re running out of government-regulated marijuana,… Read more »
