News Roundup

…and in even more disturbing news:


...and pretty much to all other kinds of attacks, e.g. illegal immigration, but we won’t go there.


...well, if the Swiss are getting alarmed


...are these the same as the Covid vaccine scientists, Michael Mann, and the “scientists” who designed the Food Pyramid?

But wait!  Stop panicking!


...no kidding.  Never mind:  next week, another group of scientists will call bullshit on this report.  “Ignore all of them,” you say?  Indeed.


...yeah, and fewer children drown in a world without oceans, lakes, floods, swimming pools and bathtubs.  What’s your point?

In International News:


...”until we decide to invade and occupy Siberia, of course.”


...said link is only worth following for a good look at WH Spokeschick Karoline Leavitt’s rather impressive superstructure.

Now we look at a fresh topic:  States Behaving Not-So Badly:


...works for me.


...welcome to the club, guys. But wait till you see what the Mormons are doing:


...excellent.  No freak flags on government property.


...oh stop it, now I’m giggling.


...I like the sentiment behind this one.  It feeds my inner libertarian.

And in Sex Wars:


...well, duh, dude — oh wait, “Chapell” is a lesbianist.  Never mind.

In Vigilante News:


...I’ve heard of protective parents before, but damn.

The hills are alive:


...oh FFS, Neil;  like Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg, you’re not important enough for Trump to worry about.

Now it’s time for the “I don’t really care, Margaret” news, a.k.a.

 

...no, I don’t know who any of these people are, either.

And in our weekly stroll through the streets of :


...damn, Roller Girl honey;  you definitely need a few more pasta dinners in your life.

Same bikini, seven years ago:

Back to the present:

We should all age so wonderfully.  And that’s all the news worth (un-)covering.

LOL Krauts

I see that Krautland politicians are trying to rebuild old habits (dating back to Bismarck’s time):

Since the war in Ukraine began, the German establishment has sought to reintroduce conscription. A year ago, under the previous coalition, a defence ministry document given to Der Spiegel presented ‘options for a German military service model’. Defence minister Boris Pistorius of the Social Democratic Party wanted to make the country ‘fit for war’.

Sehr gut.  However, there are a few snags:

The traditional motive of patriotism will not be needed. Indeed, German politicians do not want nationalist AfD supporters signing up. The Bundeswehr will be filled with modern diverse youth, as urged by a recent article in Stern magazine. This latest media support for conscription was inspired by author Tilmun Gerwien, who tells younger compatriots (he being too old for active service) that they must ‘grow up’.

Okay, quit that unseemly sniggering, you lot, because it gets better:

The marketing is aimed at woke youngsters. Females will be encouraged to fight for gender equality, homosexuals for LGBT rights, and brown-skinned incomers for a multicultural Germany.

Yeah, that’s gonna work really well.  And guess who they’re going to rely on the most for their recruits?

The front cover of Stern, however, features a white boy. As Remix website observed, when the duty to defend and die for your country arises, suddenly white men are prominent rather than women, Arabs, Blacks or Turks.

Just not the AfD whitebois.

Fucking idiots.

Well THAT Explains It (Ignore)

I’ve looked askance at several of Chief Justice John Roberts’s activities in the past — first, and most notably, his decision that ObamaCare was actually a “tax” and not an un-Constitutional prescriptive power grab over the lives of U.S. citizens — and since then, several of his votes on Supreme Court decisions have made me furrow my brow.  Here’s one example:

The Supreme Court on Friday let the Trump administration temporarily suspend $65 million in teacher-training grants that the government contends would promote diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, an early victory for the administration in front of the justices.

The decision was 5 to 4, with five of the court’s conservatives — Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil M. Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Brett M. Kavanaugh — in the majority. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. voted with the court’s three liberal justices in dissent.

Some commentators have asked the question:  “Does someone have something on Judge Roberts?”  as an answer to these of his decisions — what we used to call the “sex photos with a dead animal or child”  kind of blackmail.

In fact, the answer is a lot simpler, and far less salacious.

Investigative journalist Bad Kitty Unleashed reported on Thursday that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is involved in an invite-only club for elite judges in Washington, DC.

The elitist club America Inns of Court also includes the radical America-hating judges James Boasberg, Beryl Howell, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Amit Mehta—all hard-left judges and Trump-haters.

Go ahead and read the whole thing.  It will explain exactly why Roberts has voted the way he has.

I don’t know what the solution is — there’s that “freedom of association” thing in the Constitution —  but what it basically means is that the nominally-conservative Chief Justice is in thrall to the hard Left judiciary in this country, and there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot we can do about it.

I think I’d have preferred the photos.
