We’ve all seen the videos of scumbags loading up in stores and just marching right out, knowing that the employees can’t stop them. The thing I’ve always wondered… sure, the employees can’t do squat, but what about the bystanders?

Sometimes they can, and do.

She’s 73 and waded right in. What would *you* do?

I ain’t a Christian. I also do not like magic (as in the fictional supernatural stuff, not what Penn & teller do on stage). And yet… I’ve been a fan of the Lord of the Rings and associated works since the 80’s. The LotR books are slopping over with obvious and not so obvious Christian themes and ideas, and with wizards and magic and such… and they’re awesome, because they’re well written and, importantly, *not* *stupid.* I do not have to be an adherent to a particular religion to recognize when someone is drawing inspiration from it.

And then there’s this guy.

No, Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” isn’t Christian

My recommendation is to give the article linked above a pass (it is, after all, likely mere click- and rage-bait, designed to drive traffic by claiming something so fundamentally stupid that you’ll go there to rage-read, comment and drive up ad revenue) and go straight to the YouTube debunking of this nonsense:

The developed world is being flooded with “migrants.” This is far beyond deniable at this stage. The only debatable questions are “why is this happening,” “why does it continued to be allowed,” and “is it too late to do anything about it other than hope Elon Musk makes interplanetary colonization possible before the influx of the third world into the first destroys the ability of civilization to survive out in space.”

The fact that such a large percentage  of the “migrants” are young males says a lot about the goals of the endeavor. The lands they leave behind are populated with their women and children; those lands will continue to be what they have been. The lands they enter will be colonized and changed; far too many are stories of “migrants” who attack locals, get arrested and then receive leniency – or are outright released – because their savagery is part of their original culture, and Obama forbid that host nations expect immigrants to adapt.

A smidge of hypocrisy:

European edition:

I do, however, have a compromise to deal with *all* of the worlds problems. The first video claims that the media focus on Ukraine/Russia is to divert attention from the ongoing invasion of the US. Well, maybe. Thing is, Russia invading Ukraine would be a bad thing regardless. So… my idea: scoop up a few dozen million of these military age male migrants. The US has a lot to spare, as does France, Britain, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, etc.  Gather them all together in staging areas, and if Russia invades Ukraine or China invades Taiwan, drop these conscripts into the war zone. Hell, maybe even arm a few of them with bolt action rifles or something. Let them be useful, rather than cultural, financial and demographic drags on their host nations.

So HBO sent me an email:

“Lunar new year doesn’t officially begin until February 1…”

Ummm… “lunar new year” isn’t a thing in the US. It’s certainly not a holiday, nor is it in any way “official.” New year in the US is January 1, full stop. Was this email meant for China, or some other backwards region that erroneously links the year to the Moon rather than the Sun?

Remember when it was announced last year that the graves of hundreds of indigenous children were found on the grounds of a Canadian Catholic school? Wellllll…..

In Kamloops, Not One Body Has Been Found

Someday, humanity might evolve to the point where not every single accusation against western civilization is automatically believed by the media and the politicians and the activists before there’s any actual evidence. Sadly, we’re still at the monkey-throwing-its-own-poop stage of evolution, it seems.
