With all due respect to Mrs. Dr. Insty, there’s pretty much only one knot we need right about now:

As my old buddy Paterson might have responded:
This headline actually gets up there with my all-time favorite:

…only that one’s fiction. The rainforest thing isn’t. Excuse me…

Not-So-Far
Here’s a handwringing article which should make us all chuckle:
How France embraced the far right
At his rally, Eric Zemmour outlined his plans to create a political party called “Reconquest”, referring to the historic period known as the Reconquista, when Christian forces drove Muslim rulers from the Iberian peninsula.
Mr Zemmour is campaigning on a bizarre zero immigration policy and has frequently come under fire for his anti-Muslim comments.
Am I the only one who thinks that a zero-immigration policy isn’t bizarre? (And I’m speaking as an immigrant myself.)
All I know is that somewhere in the ether, Charles Martel is smiling.
Quelle Surprise
I wonder what made people hate the idea of this cow being the Comptroller of the Currency so much? Oh yeah:
Saule Omarova’s stated supported proposals would cause banks to cease being depository institutions for individual accounts, reassigning these checking and savings “demand deposit accounts” directly to the Federal Reserve. That proved too radical an agenda for Democrat and Republican senators to take a risk on [I should fucking well hope so — K]; particularly given that the head of the OCC does, indeed, have the power to facilitate such changes as part of their tenure.
Omarova also raised eyebrows with her support for the concept of a National Investment Authority (NIA) that would have the power to direct private capital investment in the US from a central planning entity.
This steely-eyed Stalinist bitch (a graduate of Moscow State University — yes!) would have, at a stroke, completely demolished the entire concept of private property — yes, money earned is actually property, just not as far as Communists are concerned — and made the almighty Federal Government the controller of our personal finances. And ditto for private investment — centrally controlled by government and not by companies, shareholders and individuals.
Of course, “President” Braindead called this opposition a “personal attack”, when in fact it was simply sharp opposition to her little plan to destroy the economy of the United States.
I need to stop now before I say something terrible.
Not So Funny, Either

By “Astro-turfed White nationalist groups”, of course, they’re referring to the FBI provocateurs we all know and love.
