As Venezuela reaches Peak Socialism and mass violence seems to be breaking out, the fighting between Maduro’s Russian-backed forces and those of the legitimate interim President Juan Guaido has slopped over the borders into a new region…
Leave it to Code Pink to support the guy trying to destroy his own country while shipping tons of gold out so he can live the high life elsewhere. Commies gonna commie…

I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, but if’n yer interested in watching that high school production of “Alien,” here ya go. With bonus Sigourney Weaver:
With luck, they won’t get stomped by Disney. Remember: Disney owns Fox now, so not only is the Alien now a Disney product, but the Alien Queen is a Disney Princess.
The rampage finally ended when Stewart charged the gunman, screaming so loud witnesses say it sounded like a “chorus of four or five men” – a sound so loud a priest at a nearby church heard it. A former army staff sergeant, Stewart served in the US Navy from 1990 to 1994, then enlisted in the Army after the September 11th attacks in 2001, and served in Iraq in 2003.
According to The Daily Caller, which spoke with Stewart and his wife, Stewart rushed the gunman, threatening to kill him.
“Get down!” Stewart screamed. “I’m going to kill you!”
Stewart says he “scared the hell” out of the shooter, forcing him to flee.
“I knew I had to be within five feet of this guy so his rifle couldn’t get to me. So I ran immediately toward him, and I yelled as loud as I could. And he was scared. I scared the hell out of him.”
Here’s the great irony: the genetic defective who thought it was a neato-keen idea to kill a bunch of Jews for the greater glory of the white race was chased away like a little b!tch by a Jewish feller who was a *far* better berserker than he would ever be.
Stewart said he chased him all the way out to his car and began pounding on it — the shooter had managed to lock himself in. When Stewart saw him reach for a rifle, he punched the side of the car as hard as he could, intending to figure out a way to drag him out of the car. That’s when a Border Patrol agent who attends the synagogue came running out to the parking lot, yelling for Stewart to get down because he had a gun.
Stewart says this man may have saved his life and pointed to his use of a civilian’s gun as evidence that gun control isn’t the answer to these kinds of tragedies. Stewart was off-duty and was apparently handed the weapon by someone else on the scene.
Now… here’s hoping it doesn’t turn out that this guy is making this story up. In the era of Hillary dodging sniper fire and Smollett and whatever Trump is on about today, ya gotta have some skepticism regarding any tales that don’t come equipped with video evidence.
As with pretty much all jetliners, the 747 has seen its fuselage stretched (and shortened) to adjust the number of passengers and other payload it can carry. But as stretched as it has been, there were plans for much more extravagant changes. In the early 1970s there were plans in place for not only fuselage stretches by way of inserting lengthening plugs, but also by stretching the upper deck much further aft, turning it into a true double-decker. As the diagram below shows, for shorter routes the passenger count count be bumped up to 1000. keep in ind that this was using 1971-era seating; with modern 21st century passenger-packing technology, who knows haw many human bodies could have been stuffed into these planes, ready to be driven mad by booze, low oxygen, screaming babies and deep vein thrombosis.
Yeesh, it’s been twenty years since “All Star” was released. But with a little editing, it remains fresh and relevant.
A little while back the most vacuous of the current crop of congresscritters engaged in some fantasy role-play where she pretended to be a future version of herself extolling the virtues of the world accepting and enacting her Green New Deal policies. Even without the most basic surface understanding of just how nutty her ideas are, it was painful to watch as any “the world will come to understand and celebrate my greatness” self-congratulatory piece of self-insertion sci-fi literature would be.
But then you actually analyze the details and, man, this thing is stooooopid.
I finally got around to stitching together photos I’ve taken since October. I’ll be posting some reduced-rez versions over the next little while, because why not. If anything is interesting, let me know. The dates the photos were taken are in the filenames.

I’m always amazed at how much wiser this whippersnapper is than an army of experts.
Plus, he knows how to use colorful metaphors.
So we had a whackaloon shoot up a synagogue in California. In this case we have an orgy of evidence about the shooter in the synagogue because the guy, in the finest tradition of true whackaloons, left a friggen manifesto. You can read it HERE. It’s not very long, but great googaly moogaly is it jam-packed full of Jew-hating crazy. It reads like the sort of unhinged monologue that a poorly-written movie Klansman would screech to his three inbred followers.
A few things can be gleaned from it. First, there’s a level of antisemitism there that is hard to fathom where it even came from. It had to have been building for a good long while. But it seems that the motivation for doing this came about recently… specifically, the Christchurch New Zealand mosque shootapalooza. This guy calls it out specifically as an inspiration, while also throwing in a bunch of video game and even PewDiePie references. He’s clearly a fanboy of the Christchurch shooter. Would he have gone after the synagogue had it not been for NZ? Hard to say, but this level of crazy must have been around for a good long while. Chances are that he would have snapped at some point, but it’s clear that Christchurch was the thing that got him moving. It has long been suggested that a big part of the cause of the modern school/mass shooting “epidemic” is crackpots seeing the news coverage that others get and becoming infected with a copycat virus. It seems that this is another data point.
In the modern lunatic manifesto tradition, it has a “question and answer” section. Seems he’s not a fan of either Trump or conservatives, though you know that both of those groups will be tarred by this guys actions. He’s a European, which he takes great pains to repeatedly go on about, and he’s quite vocal about his Christianity… which I bet will irritate the hell out of a whole lot of Christians who seem to think that that Jesus feller might have looked a little askance on someone trying to massacre Jews.
