How long until Britain is just a fading memory among people in far-flung lands?
The war currently underway in Ukraine, which pits Ukraine as a proxy for the collective West against Russia, is primarily an ideological or religious one, with Russia representing what is left of Christian Europe, and “the West” representing a totalitarian ideology that abhors religion in general and Christianity in particular.
Ummm. Color me stunned, he goes on to implicate Da Jooooz.
Westerners – especially those who style themselves “conservatives” – who think that Putin is anything but a KGB thug baffle me.
Russian mercenary Igor Mangushev (Bereg) made a performance with the skull of a Ukrainian soldier killed near Azovstal.
In his speech, Mangushev said that Russia is at war with the Ukrainian idea, so all Ukrainians must be killed.

Well, euthanasia *is* a form of healthcare. So as the economic burden of taking care of vast numbers of poor, sick “migrants” and “refugees” continues to mount in places like the US and UK, expect to see euthanasia offered – and then pushed – onto those where the math just doesn’t add up. If you cost more than you add via taxes, if you vote the wrong way, if you don’t make the demographic quotas look right, or if you just contact a government employee who’s having an off day, is in a particular mood, or if he/she/it/they simply dosen’t like the sound of your voice… well, there’s an easier, cheaper way to deal with your heart disease or cancer or PTSD or chronic acne.
Next year, Canada will begin allowing mentally ill individuals to qualify for assisted suicide under this formulation, and it is likely that this autumn the government will receive a parliamentary report recommending that children deemed competent (“mature minors”) should also be eligible.
*NEAT.*
I’m all in favor of euthanasia when the situation calls for it. Are you being eaten alive by a horrific cancer that cannot be cured? Are you trapped in a wreck of a body with no hope of any sort of quality of life? Is your nervous system on fire, making every moment unending agony, with no prospect of fixing it? Then, yeah, I can see taking a few deep lungs full of pure nitrogen as a merciful alternative. But because you’re *sad?* That’s a “no” from me, buddy. Especially Canada’s nonsense about making mental illness among minors eligible for an assisted dirtnap… because how many hormonal teenagers *can’t* be fairly described as bugnuts? Get them away from the social media and their weirdo pervert teachers, deprogram them from CRT and SJW, and just let them mature a bit, and most people will be fine.
And euthanasia should almost never be promoted by the people paying the bills.
The video below has some slightly spicy language. I’m not entirely sure, but I think he’s a little upset about this.
A little while back the Solomon Islands signed a “security pact” with the Chinese Communists. And so it begins:
The Solomon Islands government threatened to ban “disrespectful and demeaning” journalists from entering in response to an Australian documentary that alleged widespread Beijing influence in the Pacific country.
And…
They also failed to respond to a request by the Royal Navy for port access.
The Solomon Islands have now become an extension of the ChiCom empire. I expect that as well as establishing a military presence right next to New Guinea and Australia the Chinese will strip the place bare of wood and fish. Chinese telephone/electronics intelligence company Huawei just signed a contract to build 161 towers in the Solomons. Probably too far from Australia/New Guinea to provide much direct intelligence, but who knows?
Uphold the cliche, buddy.
It will take a degree in higher mathematics to calculate the charges this guy racked up.
Just after 4:00 AM on August 23, Tampa Police responded to the report of a carjacking in the 16000 block of Enclave Village Dr. Victim #1 was confronted by an armed subject as she entered her car while preparing to leave for work. The suspect, later identified as 33-year-old Brandon J Baker, demanded she exit the car, then fled the scene in the victim’s black Nissan Maxima. The victim was not injured.
Minutes later, officers responded to a 911 call in the 6200 block of Ashbury Palms Dr. Reportedly, Baker forcibly entered a residence after committing the carjacking, and confronted victim #2, who is a known acquaintance. Baker forced the victim out of the residence and into the Maxima. The victim was able to escape, at which time Baker fled the scene prior to police arrival. The Maxima was found abandoned at Tampa Palms Blvd. and Compton Dr. The victim was not injured.
Approximately an hour later, Tampa Police responded to the report of a stolen vehicle that had just occurred in the 18000 block of Highwoods Preserve Pkwy. Victim #3 was in the back of his white Isuzu box truck. When he exited the rear of the truck, he observed Baker in the driver seat. Baker then fled in the truck, which was equipped with GPS.
The truck’s location was determined, and the Florida Highway Patrol attempted a traffic stop entering Alachua County. Baker refused to stop and began driving north in the southbound lanes of I-75. At multiple points the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office attempted to stop the vehicle without success. Baker struck multiple law enforcement vehicles. Baker attempted to flee on foot but was taken into custody by members of FHP & Alachua County Sheriff’s Office. Two Alachua County Deputies sustained minor injuries. No Florida Highway Patrol Troopers were injured.
Baker is currently in Alachua County Jail, charged with Armed Carjacking, Burglary with Battery, Kidnapping, and Grand Theft Auto related to the incidents that occurred in Tampa, as well as multiple felony charges related to the incidents that occurred in Alachua County.
Let’s Go Brandon. Dude needs to go away forever. he started off his day with an armed carjacking; that alone merits a free trebuchet ride. Then he put *hundreds* of civilians at risk, at one point almost plowing into a school bus.
I’m all in favor of megaprojects. Hell, some years ago I made a pretty good stab at a book on the subject… half history of such projects, half illustrated manual of such projects, and half manifesto calling for mankind to plow ahead with such projects. Things like solar power satellites, O’Neill habitats, supra-mundane terraforming, orbital rings, terraformed asteroids (inside and out), Dyson swarms, all that. If mankind is going to make it long-term, we are going to have to do such things, and do rather a lot of them. We will eventually tear apart whole solar systems to rebuild them better. And to get from Here to There, we are going to have to do a lot of intermediate projects… and a lot of them will fail. I suspect that a fair proportion of the early space habitats will turn into disasters; early Mars colonies will be death traps; solar power satellites will fold up like origami. It’s sad, but it’s likely inevitable. It’s not like the history of Europeans colonizing the world was a history of unalloyed success from the get-go; there are whole colonies that just up and friggen’ vanished. But humans learn from such things and do better the next time… and soon enough, the same people who vanished like a fart in the wind at Roanoke have built New York City.
That said: not all megaprojects sound like good ideas. Some that seem like they are probably technically feasible sound like logistic or sociological nightmares. Such is the case with The Line, a whackadoo concept for a skyscraper taller than the Empire State Building… and hundreds of kilometers long. Worse, they want to build the thing in the desert. Worst, they want to build it in *Arabia.* No matter how bad your idea is, building it in a backwards theocratic superstitious cesspit will make your idea even worse.
As many have noted, there is a much greater demand for racism in the US than actual supply, so a lot of people simply invent it. This was the case recently where some kids from a little league team near where I currently live went to watch a game in the Little League World Series and caused a bit of a stir. What happened: one of the players on the Hawaiian Little League team, one Jarron Lancaster, has a blond-dyed mohawk haircut. Apparently the kid is good, so some of the players on the Davenport, Iowa, team wanted to emulate him. Being kids, that meant “look like Jarron,” which meant emulating his unique hairstyle. How did they do that? They yoinked the white stuffing out of some cheap stuffed toys and put it on some of their teammates heads in a *vaguely* mohawk-like pattern. They did this, again, to several kids. But what the national broadcast camera caught was them applying stuffing to a black kids head… which image was *promptly* leaped upon by race hustlers desperate for racism, because cotton + black kid = racism.
A new photo from the Little League Classic shows a white player had the cotton placed in his hair as well. https://t.co/fcihFiZgUI

Here’s the context. Lancaster from Hawaii is a straight stud baseball player. All the kids are getting his autograph. pic.twitter.com/pEuu1R8h37

The kids on the Davenport team were promptly vilified by some of the worst, dumbest people online, the kind who are easily led and resistant to facts and explanations. Were the kids racist? Doesn’t seem so. The stuffing-mohawks were applied to white and black kids, in clear appreciation of a kid who appears to be native Hawaiian. This *should* be a vaguely heart-warming moment of cross-ethnicity good sportsmanship. But these kids just got a quick lesson in the realities of woke outrage culture. That might be rough for them now, but if they are smart, it will be a lesson they will learn and take to heart, knowing to never give the woke an inch, and to never, ever trust them.
Ugh.
You've also got the waitress who couldn't afford to go to school, and maybe it's no longer an option, but her taxes till she dies will pay for the education for lawyers making a few hundred grand a year moving forward.

So… people who didn’t go into debt getting unaffordable degrees in subjects they knew wouldn’t have a good rate of return will get bailed out by poor people who couldn’t afford college in the first place. Got it. This will incentivize not only academically useless students to take academically useless courses pursuing economically ridiculous degrees, it will incentivize colleges and universities to jack up their rates, because now Uncle Sam will be thoughtlessly paying the schools *even* *more.* This will make a higher education even more expensive to pursue, and more out of reach for those who aren’t rich.
The Dems hate you. They hate us all.
The fact that this idea is newsworthy is a stunning indictment of just how monumentally, sociopathically selfish and downright stupid so many people are.
What does a black hole sound like? I suspect Lovecraft would have recognized it…
By amplifying, correcting and mixing with other data, the black hole sounds quite different. Here it is with alternative processing: https://t.co/NNC9l7B6TC
