lifted by Yahweh

Al Gore has warned us that "once in a thousand year events are occurring more frequently" and that holds true for weather as it does for everything else. Since I have a daughter living in Charleston, SC and many old friends in the Palmetto State I have been following the deluge that drowned the low country over the weekend with great interest. We were discussing the flooding over dinner tonight when grandmother said it reminded her of the Great Ohio River flood of 1937. Oh yeah, 1 million people washed out of their homes and hundreds of millions of dollars (something like $10 Billion in todays money) in damages. She lived in a railroad car for a few months while they repaired her parents home in the Kentucky town where she lived. So I guess Al Gore is... right? Who the hell knows, floods happen with or without the internal combustion engine and a modern energy grid - if anything we handle them better today than we did yesterday.

The Fear
Of course, things could have been much worse for the South Carolinians had Hurricane Joaquin actually made landfall as a CAT 4 apocalypse the way it was supposed to. But it didn't, so continues the long string of none events that have shaken the eastern seaboard to its foundation for nothing. The hurricanes happen, to be sure, but they don't make landfall, so they really don't happen in any meaningful "climate change" kind of way - "if a tree falls in the woods..." - meaning that while they churn out in the Atlantic no one can "politicize" them. Thank God!

The Mercy
And I do thank god for his mercy, for it looked to all the world that Joaquin was headed for our Nation's Capital to drown the rats and topple monuments. Had it happened I certainly would have been one of the first to claim divine wrath and righteous judgment on the wicked. But Gods love is infinite and I hope the puny people pushing paper in the District of Colombia consider that reality in their daily grind - writing regulations and scolding We the People with their sanctimonious preaching. The Lord could wipe their city off the face of the earth with a small (by his measure) storm, but at the last minute he sheathed His terrible sword and lifted the hand of fate. Just another day in a world we humans can barely understand and rarely appreciate.

Blue Devils and Yellow Cowards

A few weeks ago Duke lost Coach K’s last game at Camron Indoor Stadium to the schools hated rival, North Carolina University, in an epic grudge match. It was an “ unacceptable ” finale for the maniacal ferret-faced competitor who created the 40 year dynastic Duke hoops program with 1,000+ wins and fists full of ACC and NCAA championships but for Tar Heels everywhere it was a day of retribution. Michael  William Krzyzewski, is a red-blooded All-American college basketball coach of Polish and Ukrainian descent who grew up in Chicago’s famous Ukrainian Village which is (or at least was) culturally very reminiscent of the Rus borderlands. That is to say that young S h-shef-ski   grew up as  far away (psychology) from Dixie as is possible while still living within the borders of the USA. That makes him the perfect choice to represent Duke University and the Yankee overachievers who emigrate to Durham for 4 years of education and networking before moving back to non-Southern civilization.

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a  month before the September 24th hearing where   overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q

Mask Off

Image
U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle finally did it - after 14 months of mandatory masking by order of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this capricious and ineffectual edict has been ruled unconstitutional and, it follows, illegal.  Since January 29, 2021 the CDC has prohibited citizens to travel without wearing a mask but the insanity actually started as far back as July 14, 2020 when " CDC calls on Americans to wear masks to prevent COVID-19 spread ." That's 643 days of stupidity folks - it covers the Kenosha Riots, the attempted kidnapping of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Fake 2020 Election, the 1/6 Save America March and Insurrection, Jo(((K)))e Brandon's phony Inauguration, Trump's 2nd Impeachment, a horrible year of pathetic "leadership" from every single elected official in Washington DC, a war in Eastern Europe - and NOW, at long last, a federal judge in Florida ends the mask tyranny with one simple ruling from her bench.
