Rouen, Haute-Normandie, France

This is a small precious gem of The West.  They want to destroy every dream, idea, thought and skill that enabled this beautiful creation to ever come into existence.  Do not let them.  Fight them fiercely because when nothing is worth dying for, life is not worth living.

I learned a new Latin word today: eruca (eruca, ae) Caterpillar

Now I have a name for my nemesis.

Vermes is “worm”. I’ll save that for members of the Biden, Clinton, and Obama families.

And by family, I mean genetically connected folks, not crime family folks.

Then there’s this. Bill Broeksmit’s suicide (that’s the newly dead dude’s Dad who “hung himself”) was one of a number of deaths involving Deutsche Bank workers over a five-year period and occurred months after David Rossi, director at Monte dei Paschi di Siena, the world’s oldest bank, died in an apparent suicide in Italy in October 2013. There have long… Read more »

During the Easter season, I get 1 or 2 of those every time I’m at the store at lunch time. Which means usually every trip, cuz getting up at 9 a.m.… Read more »

33 billion blood money request.

Gonna need lots of laundry detergent for that amount.
Better request another 30 billion for detergent.

Meanwhile the wooden dummy, Kenyan, goopeecon sponsored invasion at our southern border continues unabated with the exception of a few stacked matchbox cars.

Do ya reckon the 300000 followers were “bots” rather than people?  Bots are why I stayed away from Twitter

from the C&C post: tuition rates have gone through the roof, but that’s in large part because the government entered the student loan market.] The gov’t didn’t just ‘enter’ the market, they took it over.
