Scandal! Fox reporting Obama ruined another great American institution!

Newsmax calling on DOJ to investigate and prosecute responsible members of the Obama Administration for placing MLB under Sharia regulations!

Old joke, from UK

An elderly lady goes to the post office to claim her old age pension. The man behind the counter asks how old she is. She responds somewhat snappily, “How dare you young man! I am as old as the people next door.”

To which the young man faithfully records, “As old as the hills.”

Perhaps the appointment of senior US Government officials requires precautions beyond the advice and consent of the US Senate.

Nominees should also have to demonstrate a tolerance for the midday sun, a shadow and a reflection in a mirror.

I seem to recall parts of the bible being rather strict with people committing adultery or fornication.

Some political stories may be concerning.

However, this is possibly the scariest picture of the week.
Picture of before and after rapid glacier melting in the Swiss Alps.

What are the stages of professional grief?

1) public infamy
2) professional notoriety
3) bar investigation
4) disbarment
5) prosecution

Who’s heading the Pardon Attorney’s office?

A Nazgûl?

Or did they refuse on ethical grounds?

If one looks at the works of Bart Ehrman he covers in several places things from the bible that people seem to have forgotten.

Bonkers. I never watch GB News and small articles like this truly confirm my assumptions about its output.

PS GB News is a loss making cable news station underwritten by various monied interests to inject right wing venom into British public and political discourse. cf Fox, but loss making.

It's interesting to note that in Tolkien's Middle Earth the name Atalantë (The Downfallen) was given to Numenor in after years.

Even Tolkien claimed that this close homonym to Atlanta was a coincidence. How sure are people of that ...

For example in Britain the NHS will treat emergency (accident and sudden deterioration) cases and those with infectious diseases without question.

It is considered inhuman and unwise not to do so.

@muellershewrote.com Yes, treating infectious diseases promptly has obvious economic advantages.

Glad I stopped giving them my money.

They haven't realised, cannot probably, that the extreme discount will not be tempting as it wasn't the money that concerned me.

PS Bluesky can blame WaPo for getting my overlong posts ...

The only problem with your video meme is that it is too innocuous for the Trump Regime and its enablers.

Surely the real version would use live ammunition?

Well the preamble to the US Constitution contains the phrase, "promote the general Welfare."

It's one of those things that certain right winger prefer to forget. Perhaps it reminds them of their fuzzy ideas of Socialism and Communism.
