In The Slammer Again

Short note. I won’t be on Facebook for a week … My crime? Someone falsely claimed that I had friends who rioted in DC on January 6th, and that I supported their actions. I said no, I didn’t know a single person who rioted. He said well, maybe “friends” was the wrong word, but people…

Totalitarian Censorship

This is getting ludicrous. First, I was busted by Facebook for posting a National Geographic picture of some Papua New Guinea guys wearing penis gourds, as they do there. Nothing obscene, just guys in their native dress. NatGeo. Off limits. No jail time, just a warning. Then I got 24 hours in Facebook Jail for…

Women Are Not Men … Who Knew?

I see that 10% Joe has issued an Executive Order that any high-school boy who can put on a dress and sing a verse of “Man, I Feel Like A Woman” is legally entitled to take showers with high-school girls, because feelings. Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with that? I mean, no teenaged boy,…

Will Whoever Stole The Black Hills Please Return Them?

I see that the usual media suspects are whipping up indignation about Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills. It’s bizarre. Hillary, President Obama, and Biden all went to Mt. Rushmore, and the media fawned over them. But now that President Trump has had the audacity to go there, the media is all full of righteous…

Raw Terror

Folks sometimes accuse me of being “Islamophobic”. I’m nothing of the sort. A “phobia” is a baseless fear of something harmless. I don’t have that. What I have is a historically justified, fact-based fear of Islam. It’s not just Christianity in funny hats. It is a warriors religion and the stated goal is to establish…

What’s Shaking?

Well, it’s been a curious week. Wednesday, I worked on my roof about two stories off of the ground. Last night, I dreamed about wrestling tyrannosaurs. And this morning, I woke up in an ambulance. === The ambulance man said, “You’re in an ambulance heading for a hospital.” “Why?”, I asked. “You fell in your…

In Which I Get Twitter Banned

On Twitter, there’s a hashtag called #ExMuslimBecause, where folks talk about why they left Islam. In response to someone saying that they didn’t understand why ex-Muslims had left Islam and that they were wrong for doing so, and it was only bad or deluded Muslims that left Islam, I tweeted the following: Many ex-Muslims left…

The Social Benefit Of Carbon

Cross-posted from Watts Up With That, where I publish my scientific work. After my recent post on the futility of the US cutting down on CO2 emissions, I got to thinking about what is called the “social cost of carbon”. (In passing, even the name is a lie. It’s actually the supposed cost of carbon DIOXIDE, not…

Lost In A Dream Of Immortality

I had a most curious dream the other night, deeply moving. In the dream, my gorgeous ex-fiancee, my dear lady wife of forty years, had been told that she only had a week to live. So we flew to Fiji, where we lived for years. We rented a room in that most historic of buildings,…

To Err Is Human

Michelle Obama is in the news this week because of the publication of her book, “Becoming”. In the book, she makes the statement that she will “never forgive” Donald Trump because he pushed the “birther conspiracy”. For those wondering, that was the claim that Obama was actually born in Kenya. It’s clear from the context…
