Wall Street Journal headline: Early Bulletin Said Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved With Transgender, Antifascist Ideology; Some Sources Urge Caution

I guess being antifascist has become a vile, nasty, evil thing.

Unseen, Ideas in The Holy Bible, Al-Quran, The Communist Manifesto, and Mein Kampf put out by media technology beginning with the printing press have killed millions more than guns alone. Should such media technology be restricted to an elite few?

I’m not sure where you’re going with that. Stop hinting and be explicit, please.

Shitstorm is gonna intesnify a bit if the killer of Kirk is apprehended and it turns out he is a lefty. Probably is too.

So, who was Charlie Kirk?

“I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.” — Charlie Kirk

Well, I think we can feel a little bit more secure now, can’t we?

Some more about the BBC bias.

Are all you guys still supporting government-run health care after all this?

Has there ever been a more corruptive, governmental force in a civilized country, bent on destroying a health care system than what’s happening now? The damage seems so intentional. Even the incompetence seems intentionally made as permanently…[Read more]

I think Holy Water is meant to have some spirit in it? And 10 year old scotch is no longer for 10 years olds.

Ha! Enco, the Church guided water ignorance had a strange but happy side effect. It turns out that the locals (in the uk) discovered that people who drunk wine, gin or beer did not get sick, whereas those drinking water were keeling over everywhere.  As a result, adults and children alike were swigging back the alcohol, giving gentle rise to the…[Read more]

Was Diogenes Woke?

We agree. He was not! 🙂

Burst into bull frog? There are a few known cases of it happening.

I think the writer is “tilting at windmills” and is arguing a point that does not need to be made. It could even be deemed a “strawman argument”. Her critique seems aimed more at an imagined “scientific arrogance” than at how science is genuinely practiced. Very few scientists claim perfect objectivity; rather, they emphasize the method as t…[Read more]

Thanks Reg 🙂

Have a great week everyone!!

Atheism isn’t a belief—it’s a refusal to pretend. 

Although it’s from a ‘Gentile’, I find he offers a different viewpoint…..sample.

RFK Jr. spits out a mouthful of asbestos and takes a swig from his sewage bottle.

“I can already see children getting healthier,” he gurgles, a bone from a roadkill bat lodged in his larynx. “The spike in measles deaths is a sign their mitochondrial vitality is spiking.”

His left ear drops off.

From the above linked article…..Trump is wreaking havoc, much of it irreparable, and he has three and a half more years — at a minimum — to continue his wrecking-ball presidency. The disunity of the opposition has enabled Trump to proceed without the public fully understanding the range and scope of his destruction. Every day Trump sows con…[Read more]

Reg – nice one, with the pigs :🐷

Enco – yes the BBC has been called Auntie Beeb by Brits for longer than I can remember.

Edited to add that Auntie Beeb dates back to the 1940’s and consequently predates me altogether.
