I think it's time to get Fauci off TV and into the same daycare center that Slow-Joe is living in. They're so compatible.

They can eat ice cream together!
I heard a guy interviewed on Glenn Beck who claimed ice cream is a tool often used for people with dementia; it helps their memory. Biden is always doing events at ice cream shops. Maybe Fauci needs some Hagendaaz too, or at least some hippie libby Ben and Jerrys.

I read the same thing about ice cream. We keep some in the freezer, as Martha likes a dish on the odd evening. Maybe I should join in.
I could think of some other things to give to Fauci, but we try to keep things Christian on this site..............

Maybe we can call Biden the Ice Cream Socialist? That certainly is what his events at ice cream parlors are all about.

Yes... as long as we can jibe him with it. They used to try to get on Reagan because of his love for jelly beans, but it didn't take. We need to do something like saying Biden can't operate without (A) ice cream and (B) Jen Psaki.
Oh, and there's that Merrick Garland creep too...

Yep. We need to portray Biden as an old guy in a nursing him, in slippers and bathrobe, eating ice cream and jello.
It's really not far from the mark.

Will Biden's strongarm tactics work on the American People?
Lance Sjogren doesn't think so:
Merrick Garland
thinks he can intimidate anti-CRT protesters into surrender by
threatening to sic federal law enforcement on them.
This and other intimidation tactics by the Democrats and their media stooges will not work.
I think there's a good lesson the Democrats could learn from the
Chinese Communist Party. Xi Jinping and his minions have been
attempting to bully the other countries of East Asia through violent
rhetoric, even in some cases threatening to attack with nuclear weapons.
This has not caused China's neighbors to cower in fear. It has awoken
them to the severity of the threat to their nations' survival, leading
them to increase their military forces and to establish closer ties
with their neighbors to create alliances of forces against their
belligerent neighbor.
Bullying may sometimes be an effective
tactic, but it's not succeeding for the CCP, nor will it succeed for
the Democratic Party.
I disagree:
UNLESS...they actually start arresting protesters. Remember, the huge protest on January six? They have effectively killed any future protests by locking up people who were just in attendance without bail and no charges. We are becoming a police state. Biden is making that plain here.
Remember, the usurper Biden controls the power structure here. The Chicoms don't control the rest of Asia - yet.

It remains to be seen just how far the gummint will go with this. Many states are saying "No way, Jose'" to the governments increasing authoritarianism. The main thing that worries me is the increasing weaponization of the FBI, which as we know has been a rogue outfit for years.

States have the power to nullify the Feds, but there is a price to be paid and frankly, most politicians cower at paying it. Biden can cut off funding and, unlike the Democrats, don't have pet judges to block him.
Yeah; the radicalization of the FBI and the national security apparatus is very dangerous.
So many people were calling Ed Snowden a traitor (including many conservatives) for warning the CIA was spying on average Americans. Now we know Snowden was right.
We built the most powerful domestic espionage system in history and it no longer has cause raison d^tre and so now the people it was supposedly working to protect are now it's prisoners.

Bingo. Even some of the bravest governors are chary of doing things that will shut off the tap of Federal money. Surely the Founders didn't want this!
Posted by: Dana Mathewson at October 09, 2021 09:57 PM (A0QQk)

No they didn't, which is one reason the Federal Government did not have the power of direct taxation. Money was supposed to reside primarily in the states. The feds were supposed to be the ones going to the states with hat in hand, not the other way around as it is now.

Squeezing Oil
Frank Lasee
And the crazy leftists are pressuring banks not to lend oil companies any money and pressuring insurance companies not to insure them anymore. If we do not have oil, natural gas, and coal millions of people die of starvation. Particularly in the west.
And as supply becomes less prices will skyrocket even more than what we’re seeing now. This is silly and it helps communist China.
Oilprice.com
Global annual upstream spending needs to increase by as much as 54 percent to $542 billion if the oil market is to avert the next supply shortage shock, Moody’s said in a report on Thursday carried by Bloomberg.
https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Moodys-Oil-Industry-Must-Spend-542-Billion-To-Avoid-Supply-Shock.html
Tim adds:
They dream they can depopulate the Earth by cutting off our energy and thus our food supply. Then the world can return to some mythical Eden where they (who will survive the depop because, well, they are superior and deserve it) will frolick in eternal bliss. Of course, the socialists (at least the inner core) understand this isn't so but it provides a tool to rebuild the world in a socialist fashion and promote their power. Squeezing energy means putting everyone under strict control. No unauthorized movement. And the eternal struggle for the necessities of life will make opposition to them impossible. That is what they did in the old Soviet Union; the long lines at stores and poverty was not a biproduct but a feature of the system, which kept the populace too busy to think or act.

Wild Wild West End (of Chicago)
Steven Chase
Impossible to believe.... BUT TRUE!
In Chicago, prosecutors
refuse to pursue criminals for shooting people - even bystanders - on
the grounds of 'Mutual Combat', a legal defense strategy in which it is
claimed "a fight or shootout that two parties willfully engage in".
Reported by the Chicago Sun-Times, July 2021 Also

I believe I read that Mayor Lori Lightweight is getting annoyed with State Attorney Kim Foxx. She ain't the only one!
Posted by: Dana Mathewson at October 08, 2021 03:37 PM (A0QQk)
2
Lightweight is under a lot more pressure from the public than Foxx. I think they are in fundamental agreement but Foxx is pushing too hard.
They could always defund her. It may not help the crime situation any but it could force Foxx to start taking action. And the police would have to issue state charges for every crime to get them out of the prosecuting attorney's office.
Posted by: Timothy Birdnow at October 09, 2021 05:55 AM (nJOER)

I'm not sure just what kind of pressure can be put on Foxx, but it's time to find a way. And the same thing needs to be done in various cities in other blue states.

Yep. That is why George Soros began his prosecuting attorneys project. He realized a prosecuting attorney could not be controlled if he or she went rogue.

Systemic Child Abuse
Selwyn Duke
https://www.selwynduke.com/2021/10/systemic-racism-heres-something-real-systemic-child-abuse.html
What does mandating experimental "vaccines†for 12-year-olds, telling children they can become the opposite sex, exposing them to lewd material, forcing health-damaging masks on them, exposing them to racial propaganda, and killing unborn babies and then using their body parts for experimentation have in common? All these things are happening, for one.
They’re also all part of a very real but heretofore unlabeled phenomenon: systemic child abuse.
Tim adds:
Ours is the most hostile generation to the young in history. Worse even
then when kids had to work in coal mines; at least their minds and
bodies were safe.And their souls.

March to Free Australia
Courtesy of George Kotaradis
Covid Vaccine & Adverse Effects Discussion 2.0
This
is how concerned the world is about what's happening in Australia. They
have organised a Freedom March from NY City Hall to the Australian
Consulate on 4th October in solidarity with us!
This is no longer about medical juice, it's about freedom of speech,
coercion, medical freedom and the suppression of rights.

Easy enough to march in NYC. Large demonstrations need to be happening in all the major cities of Australia.

Agreed, but of course then they would be subject to arrest for violating the "emergency" protocols.
They need to march armed. Australia is at the point where they need a revolution.

Armed? In Australia? With what, torches and pitchforks? Their guns were taken away from them in a forced government "buyback" a few years ago, and the populace these days is basically relegated to "subjects," not "citizens." Their gun control efforts predictably had no effect on the "crime" that they were supposed to cure, but Sleepy Joe still touts Australia's "gun control" as a model the world should follow -- or at least us.
Posted by: Dana Mathewson at October 09, 2021 10:06 PM (A0QQk)

I know; gun violence is no better now in Australia than before the gun grab. But it did succeed in allowing the government to be able to do this without fear.
My Aussie friends on Facebook all tell me it doesn't matter though; the public there is just, well, OBEDIENT and wouldn't dream of revolting.
They've been cowed over the years, apparently.
BTW A girl I knew in college married an Aussie man and has been living there for years. She just came back to the U.S. because, as she said, Australia has become a police state. She was sick of it.
(I never went out with her but should have; she was game. But our timing was always off. Too bad; she was a really cute girl, and a lot of fun.)

Martha and I have an Aussie friend, who unfortunately doesn't do e-mail. Jim was a clerk at our local supermarket and we became friends, invited him and his foxy wife to supper along with other friends. Jim was retired from the Australian Navy, and the guy we brought to supper was retired U.S. Navy, and of course they hit it off like Scotch and water. Jim retired from the supermarket and they settled down in our town, but after Obama started doing his thing they decided to go back to Australia. About four years ago his wife died of cancer, and it's taken him a long time to recover (I can understand -- she was wonderful and a real beauty). We exchange Christmas cards and newsletters, and we've always been sorry they didn't stay here, but we understand.
I wonder if he'll have anything to say about the "Aussie situation" in this year's Christmas newsletter?

The Media No Longer Informs
Bill H.
We have a media which no longer serves to inform the people.
NBC News has a piece that asks the question, "Covid immunity through infection or vaccination: Are they equal?†and then purports to answer it in the negative. It makes endless nonsensical statements in the process.
Such as saying that, "hospital workers are screened for measles and chicken pox antibodies to help prevent the spread of diseases,†despite the fact that the presence or absence of antibodies has nothing whatever to do with immunity and any medically trained person knows that. Immunity has to do with your immune system having been trained in how to make antibodies quickly, not on whether or not antibodies are present.
It does cite a "large study from Israel which showed better protection from infection than from vaccination,†but merely discards it by saying that Dr. Fauci has not yet given it his blessing. It cites no actual studies to the contrary, but merely quotes several doctors who claim without evidence (you see what I did there?) that natural immunity fades very quickly.
The article quotes a CDC spokesman who says that "current evidence shows a wide variation in antibody response after Covid infection.†As if antibodies had anything to do with immunity. They do not. They have to do with defense against a virus, but immunity is about the ability to produce antibodies quickly when needed.
Some doctor at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is quoted as saying that a "massive effort is underway to determine what level of antibodies is protective,†which is about as absurd as another doctor’s statement that, "If you are not vaccinated you are going to get Covid.â€
Dana Mathewson adds:
Places such as NBC News no longer believe in journalism; that much is obvious. It used to be that if you were given the job of writing about something, you were considered qualified to discuss the subject. That obviously isn't the case anymore, though we do still have some good journalists around. They just don't work for the alphabet networks.

Stop pretending Afghanistan catastrophe is anything but utter failure
Dana Mathewson
Former National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster just testified in Congress, and he held nothing back. Frankly, I wasn't "sold" on this guy when Trump hired him, but it proves that The Donald knew a good man when he saw one. In his testimony, he really laid it on the line.
His first paragraph is a real lesson.
The catastrophe that is only beginning in Afghanistan, is the result of incompetence based in strategic narcissism, or the tendency for American leaders to define the world only in relation to the United States, and to assume that what they decide to do is decisive in securing a positive outcome.
But others, including adversaries and enemies, also enjoy authorship over the future. In Afghanistan, policies and strategies across two decades were based on what U.S. leaders preferred rather than what the situation demanded. Strategic narcissism led to self-delusion, and self-delusion provided a rationale for self-defeat.
A fundamental lesson of Afghanistan is that wars are interactive and that progress in war and diplomacy is never linear. That is why the war in Afghanistan and the broader war against jihadist terrorist organizations is not over; it is entering a new, more dangerous era. Containing the catastrophe in Afghanistan and learning from it will require U.S. leaders to confront the truth of our experience in Afghanistan and stop pretending.
Stop pretending that our surrender to the Taliban in February 2020 and subsequent concessions to that terrorist organization—which strengthened our enemies and weakened our Afghan allies—were not the principal reasons for a lost war and its consequences.

No doubt. Our policies in Afghanistan were based on horribly faulty assumptions, that "people are people" and want to be Americans. Not so.
And our tactics were dreadful; winning hearts and minds rather than the war.
But McMasters knifed Trump in the back on several occasions, you may remember Dana, so I'm not so keen on him.
That said it doesn't make him wrong.
Posted by: Timothy Birdnow at October 08, 2021 07:03 AM (SV0Nb)

I remember well, and on the occasions when I could -- received e-mails that asked "Do you have anything you want to share with the president?" -- I kept telling him to dump McMaster. Naturally those e-mails really didn't go anywhere. I think McMaster's problem was that he couldn't rein in his ego, which you have to do when you're serving at the pleasure of a president.
Posted by: Dana Mathewson at October 08, 2021 03:46 PM (A0QQk)

Yep. And most especially when you are serving at Donald Trump's pleasure. Trump is not an easy man to work for, methinks. You have to be tough, you have to be aggressive, and at the same time you have to be submissive to him. There are few people like that, so Trump goes through a lot of subordinates.
My late best friend's sister was married to one of Trump's VP's. He made huge amounts of money and lived lavishly, but he eventually quit (or got fired). I remember when my friend got to go to stay for a week at a Trump hotel in Puerto Rico for free. Nice while you can get it.
Posted by: Timothy Birdnow at October 09, 2021 05:51 AM (nJOER)

We have to remember that Trump "came of age" in the New York City real estate game, and learned his lessons well. And unfortunately for the people who fell victim to it, one of those lessons is that you don't reward failure. In his administration it took him awhile to get the right people in and the wrong people out. Not unlike any other president, but Trump was under the microscope. He ended up with stars like Mike Pompeo and Ric Grennell: guys I'd certainly like to have working for me if I had been in Trump's position. And need I mention that I LOVED Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
Posted by: Dana Mathewson at October 09, 2021 10:13 PM (A0QQk)
5
Yep.
As you know I worked in real estate here in St. Louis. My coworker moved to New York for a while - and couldn't get a job. He was too nice a guy and everyone told him to come back to St. Louis (or go back to Oklahoma where he was originally from) because the New York market would eat him alive, they said.
He eventually did come back. He loved New York but just hated that aspect of it.
Trump cut his teeth in the most cutthroat industry in the most cutthroat town on the planet.
Yeah; he had to winnow out a lot of bad employees to get to the good ones. And indeed he was under a microscope.
And the media never understood that Trump thrives in chaos and uses it as a tool to keep his enemies at bay; they can't get a clear shot at him when he's always in motion, and that includes his people.

Nobody Minding the Store
Lance Sjogren
Nobody should get angry at anything Biden says because it's obvious his mind is completely shot to hell.
His statements since he became president are obviously all stuff that someone fed him.
His poll ratings are at record lows.
If there were anyone competent in high positions in the administration
I wouldn't consider it that big a deal if the bulb has gone out on the
guy at the top. But the fact that our military is run by clowns like
Austin and Milley scares the bejeesus out of me.
On the plus
side, most of "Biden"s foreign policy has been a continuation of
Trump's. "Biden" seems to have, for example, given up on the senseless
attempt to resurrect the Iran deal, and seems to recognize that a
hostile stance toward an important ally like Saudi Arabia is untenable
even if you object to some things about that country. Our international
allies are doing a good job filling in for the His Vacancy and keeping
things on track around the world. The main thing that concerns me is
not having anyone in charge in case of an international crisis, the
most likely of which is an invasion of Taiwan.
When it comes to
domestic affairs, the Democratic Party is a complete dumpster fire,
although it would be no better or worse if someone else were in the
White House. In fact, having His Vacancy and the Vice President that
nobody including Democrats wanted are positives for our country
compared to if we had Democrats in charge who were able to convince the
public that they had some degree of competence. The Democrats' insane
legislative agenda would be faring better if their party weren't so low
in the public approval ratings currently.
Tim adds:
I do not believe Biden is running anything or ever was. This is the Obama Administration with Biden as figurehead.
And I do not believe what we are seeing is random or accidental. The people running Biden know what they are doing but are restrained by political realities. They will move to the edge then back away in time for the elections.

It's also "interesting" -- and rather gratifying, I must say -- that the Speaker of the House has effectively lost control of the House. Need I say more about that situation? The two main disastrous parts of the Biden Agenda are not being voted on, and that's a GOOD THING, because they're both terrible.

Oh, I don't think Pelosi's either senile or delusional. She's a perfect foot-soldier for the Left and is following orders to the best of her ability.

Yeah Dana; it's clear Pelosi is facing a strong challenge from these upstart marxists. She's under pressure to try to go too fast.
It's funny because Pelosi WAS the marxist upstart when she emerged as a DNC leader. She was frustrated with the old guard and their refusal to promote a radical agenda, and when she took over she radicalized the Party. Now she's the "conservative" old fuddy dud the young turks want to move out.
She created the monster and now is finding it hard to continue to ride.

Obviously, Biden's not getting the word about the mood of the country. But I wonder if he actually understands what CRT really is? I think it's just something "his handlers" have told him he has to support. And not to take any reporters' questions about it...

The communists might have been a bit more even-handed.

Biden Attacks America
This from Kurt Womack:
Another example of Team Xiden's Fake Out Better campaign, this time how dare parents speak before school boards. Schools are under local control (of course they take orders from higher up), but local citizens vote for school board members, and the constant Override and Bond tax increases. For Dementia Man to task the Attorney General to attack our First Amendment right, to "criticize your government" about CRT and the insane Wuhan Red Death mandates, is Totalitarian. So parents are now labeled "extremists", must be the "UNITY" agenda. Dictator Joe's approval rating is going to drop even faster now with this bullshit.

Slightly off topic, but we also have a media which no longer serves to inform the people.
NBC News has a piece that asks the question,
"Covid immunity through infection or vaccination: Are they equal?†and then purports to answer it in the negative. It makes endless nonsensical statements in the process.
Such as saying that,
"hospital workers are screened for measles and chicken pox antibodies to help prevent the spread of diseases,†despite the fact that the presence or absence of antibodies has nothing whatever to do with immunity and any medically trained person knows that. Immunity has to do with your immune system having been trained in how to make antibodies quickly, not on whether or not antibodies are present.
It does cite a
"large study from Israel which showed better protection from infection than from vaccination,†but merely discards it by saying that Dr. Fauci has not yet given it his blessing. It cites no actual studies to the contrary, but merely quotes several doctors who claim without evidence (you see what I did there?) that natural immunity fades very quickly.
The article quotes a CDC spokesman who says that
"current evidence shows a wide variation in antibody response after Covid infection.†As if antibodies had anything to do with immunity. They do not. They have to do with defense against a virus, but immunity is about the
ability to produce antibodies quickly when needed.
Some doctor at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is quoted as saying that a
"massive effort is underway to determine what level of antibodies is protective,†which is about as absurd as another doctor’s statement that,
"If you are not vaccinated you are going to get Covid.â€

Places such as NBC News no longer believe in journalism; that much is obvious. It used to be that if you were given the job of writing about something, you were considered qualified to discuss the subject. That obviously isn't the case anymore, though we do still have some good journalists around. They just don't work for the alphabet networks.

Well said Bill! Of course the media works in the service of the oligarchs rather than the public.

Agreed Dana. Now they get the people who support the narrative rather than seek out those most qualified to discuss the subject matter.

Breaking Wind
Andrei Piriutko
The Night of the
Big Wind (Irish: OÃche na Gaoithe Móire) was a powerful European
windstorm that swept across what was then the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, beginning on the afternoon of 6 January 1839,
causing severe damage to property and several hundred deaths; 20% to
25% of houses in north Dublin were damaged or destroyed, and 42 ships
were wrecked. The storm attained a very low barometric pressure of 918
hPa (27.1 inHg) and tracked eastwards to the north of Ireland, with
gusts of over 100 knots (185 km/h; 115 mph).
The storm developed
after a period of unusual weather. Heavy snow, rare in Ireland, fell
across the country on the night of 5 January, which was replaced on the
morning of 6 January by an Atlantic warm front, which brought a period
of complete calm with dense, motionless, cloud cover. Through the day,
temperatures rose well above their seasonal average, resulting in rapid
melting of the snow.
Later on 6 January, a deep Atlantic depression
began to move towards Ireland, forming a cold front when it collided
with the warm air over land, bringing strong winds and heavy rain.
By midnight the winds reached hurricane force. Contemporary accounts of
damage indicate that the Night of the Big Wind was the most severe
storm to affect Ireland for many centuries. It is estimated that
between 250 and 300 people lost their lives in the storm.
Newspapers surmised that 250,000 trees were destroyed, and folklore
accounts indicate that the storm further altered the landscape by
prompting the building of sturdier rural housing. A total of 42 ships,
most along the less sheltered west coast, were wrecked while
unsuccessfully trying to ride out the storm.
Stacks of hay and corn were widely destroyed, resulting in severe starvation among livestock in the following months.
The Night of the Big Wind became part of Irish folk tradition. Irish
folklore held that Judgment Day would occur on the Feast of the
Epiphany, 6 January. Such a severe storm led many to believe that the
end of the world was at hand.
P.S. January 6, 2014, Ireland faced almost the same kind of a storm caused by a "sting jetâ€.
"Sting jet†is a jet of air which builds up several kilometres above
the ground before descending over three or four hours in a "crescent
moon†shape. It accelerates to more than 160 km/h and can be
exacerbated by snow or rain cooling it as it descends.
During the
storm the Kinsale gas platform off the Cork coast was hit by a 25m high
wave. Shannon Airport recorded a maximum gust of 160km/h on that day.
Up to 7.5 million trees were blown down – between 5,000 and 7,000
hectares of forestry - which was about one per cent of the national
total.
Tim adds:
"Sounds like a lot of hot air to me"
Commander McBragg "oh, uh, quite."
Thanks Martin Watson!
It's blows to live in Ireland.

In those latitudes there's normally a fair amount of wind. I was told, by the owner of a distillery on the Isle of Islay, that the wind blows constantly there. It doesn't stop him from making some of the world's best Scotch whiskey.

Well they ARE in the direct path of the Gulf Coast Current and the air flow patterns that go with it. I imagine Ireland and Scotland both get a lot of wind all the time.
I guess that makes 'em make better booze; they need something to warm the bones!

You've got it. In fact, Talisker, one of the best of the semi-affordable single-malts, is billed as something you drink after you've been working in the cold outdoors for a long time. I agree totally. Wish I could afford to drink it during the winter.

Wish you could too. It's a shame a connoisseur such as yourself can't afford the good stuff.
Yeah; the Scots need it. After all, they wear skirts on cold, windy days!

Fusion "Just Around the Corner"
From Tomer D. Tamarkin
This video is an excellent video on the challenges ahead to develop controlled nuclear fusion as an energy source to power our utility grids and the many "start-up fusion " enterprises...both private and government...which comprise the highest of scientific and high tech scams to the investment community.
This in no way alters my personal feeling that controlled nuclear fusion is the future of our energy industry...in 1 100 plus years...
Former fusion scientist on why we won’t have fusion power by 2040
September 26, 2021 by F4F
This video refutes some very optimistic claims about fusion power and discuss some of the challenges in making this long-sought after technology a reality.
Tim adds:
I have long suspected fusion is not going to be a viable option.
The sun is a great source of fusion but only because of it's mass and
density. We are trying to replicate that in a small space, and that
requires large amounts of power to do so. Yes, we can get it to work,
but it will never be economically viable energy, methinks. It's a false
path, like wind and solar. How much time and money have we wasted on
this will-o-the-wisp
that could have been used to make fourth generation fission or MHD
systems? And going with EV's will only make our problems worse (which
is the point I suspect; the governments want us to stop driving and
learn to love their crappy public transportation.

Focusing on Race is Hateful and Wrong
From Alexis Warlock:
Focusing on race is hateful and wrong, which is why we are focusing on race
By Bartholomew Chiaroscuro
"Wales is to become the first UK nation to make teaching Black, Asian
and minority ethnic histories and experiences mandatory in the school
curriculum.â€
The truth is that there is virtually no Black or Asian history to teach in Wales, or the rest of the U.K. prior to the 1950s.
If you talk about Black or Asian people in these places before that
decade, you are highlighting a tiny handful of instances whilst
ignoring masses of more relevant history.
And you are doing
this because you are obsessed with race. Because you can’t accept the
historical realty that diversity in a racial sense and involving black
and Asian people is a relatively recent change.
It’s not
hateful to know that the demographics of the past were different. It
probably is motivated by hate to pretend that they weren’t.
At one and the same time these lessons will be saying:
1/Focusing on race is hateful and wrong, which is why we are focusing on race.
2/Everyone black and Asian was oppressed in the past because they were
a minority in an overwhelmingly white nation, but the overwhelmingly
white nation was actually full of all these interesting and wonderful
black and Asian people who have always been there.
And none of the people designing these lessons will have the intelligence or the honesty to notice these contradictions.
Of course they will also be teaching every white kid in Wales to hate themselves.
There is no reason to specify black or Asian history in Wales, because
for the entire history of Wales hardly any of it existed. Just as there
would be no reason to prioritise white history in China, except for a
desire to denigrate the majority of the Chinese in the past, and the
majority of the Chinese there today.
They are of course proud
of their hypocritical racism. Far prouder than they are of, well,
Wales. Children who have never heard of Owen Glendower will hear about
some previously obscure person who was, for instance, the first black
postman in Wales.
Tim adds:
Nailed it! When I was in college in the '80's the big push was on for "multiculturalism" which was the greatest thing since sliced bread, or so they told us. I remember when I realized what they were talking about; not about celebrating other cultures but about creating nations within nations - in short balkanizing the country (this is the U.S.; it probably came to Britain earlier). It was a terrible idea then and I don't for a minute believe they didn't know it was. I have since concluded it's purpose is divide and conquer; they want us at each-others throats so they can take power while we are distracted. And it's working beautifully from their perspective.

WALES? Good grief. I thought that country was noted only for a grievous lack of vowels in its ancient language. That, and singing in large choruses.
BTW, Tim, do you ever wonder what the greatest thing was BEFORE sliced bread?
Posted by: Dana Mathewson at October 07, 2021 11:48 AM (aL7f6)

Yeah. I'm guessing sliced meat. And before that? Any meat at all.
BTW Wales is known for coal and cheating someone in a deal "Welshing out'.
I can say that, having a Rollins for a grandmother...
