I'll be covering the public impeachment inquiry hearings today via the C-Span live-stream, if only to get my own perspective rather than wading through whatever Grand Narrative and overwrought partisan commentary our corporation outlets choose to feed us. I promise to do my utmost to remain fair, mentally balanced and as humorous as this grim, grand setting allows. I even have a pair of sunglasses at the ready just in case all the blazing military medals of the various actors threaten to damage my retinas.

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The G43 is the deadly weapon that could save your life. *Key Point:* The G43 is perfectly designed for self defense.

Neither are for everybody, and feature significant trade-offs to appeal to a specific type of customer. You won’t find a small pistol shorter than the length of your hand in the arsenals of most world armies, but they are ideal for everyday civilians who need to discreetly carry a firearm on them in public.

The Subversive Philosophy of Isaiah Berlin
John Gray, in his Introduction to his book *Isaiah Berlin*, says that “Berlin’s work is animated by a single idea of enormous subversive force. This is the idea, which I call value-pluralism, that ultimate values are objective but irreducibly diverse, that they are conflicting and often uncombinable, and that sometimes when they come into conflict with one another they are incommensurable.” According to Gray, the political implication of Berlin’s thought is that “the idea of a perfect society in which all genuine ideals and goods are achieved is not merely utopian; it is incoherent.”

A Vulnerable Fortress
Albertans are talking about The Wall. It's not a new idea. This time around, Jason Kenney is leading the charge. Tom Walkom writes: In early 2001, six notable Alberta conservatives penned an open letter to Premier Ralph Klein, urging him to build “firewalls” around the province that would protect it “from an aggressive and hostile” Liberal government in Ottawa. Labelled the firewall letter, it came in the aftermath of a federal election that Jean Chretien’s Liberals — in spite of being almost shut out of Alberta — had won handily. The six, including a young Stephen Harper, argued... more »

A few weeks ago, I noted that ISIS terrorists imprisoned in the Kurdish areas of Syria were caught between a rock and a hard place. Syrian security forces are also helping to round up or kill any ISIL prisoners who had recently escaped from Kurdish prisons. Everyone involved here, especially the Syrians, Iranians and Iraqis, have a compelling reason to prevent ISIL members or family members from getting free.

Bolton: Personal Gain Is At The Heart Of Trump Family Decision-Making On U.S. Foreign Policy
Yesterday, South Carolina Republican Mark Sanford ended his half-assed primary challenge to Trump. He went out with a whimper. "The party," he said, "is populated by some really great people, but it’s underserved or misled by too many in leadership positions-- and I think President Trump and his approach has exacerbated this." And that was it. The other two Republicans sill trying to mount primary challenges against Trump, Bill Weld and Joe Walsh, are being blocked by the completely Trumpified Republican Party establishment and aren't making any headway either.

The Sad Death of James Le Mesurier

We should not forget that.
Combining the Epstein and the Ebola vaccine meme...And no, I won't have killed myself either
*I've just seen this meme combining the Epstein cover up and the Ebola vaccine scam.* *The two things belong together.

The Romantic Venus We Never Knew
I know enough now regarding the creation of the Earth to ask some pretty serious questions regarding the received knowledge regarding Venus.

It cannot have happened the other way around as the heat would have long since radiated into space. So we must start with a hot crust. This strongly suggests that the crust... more »

The Poet: Frances Dana Gage, “Dare To Stand Alone”
*“Dare To Stand Alone”* “Be firm, be bold, be strong, be true, And "dare to stand alone;" Strive for the right whate'er ye do, Though helpers there be none. Nay, bend not to the swelling surge Of popular sneer and wrong; 'Twill bear thee on to ruin's verge, With current wild and strong. Stand for the Right! Humanity Implores, with groans and tears, Thine aid to break the fest'ring links That bind her toiling years. Stand for the Right!- proclaim it loud- Thou'lt find an answering tone In honest hearts, and thou no more Be downed to stand alone!” - Frances Dana Gage, 1869

You may think I'm stupid, you may call me a madman and a fool, but at least I stand upright in a fallen world." - Rick Yancey "I wish I could protect you from the world. It's a cold, dark place. It has very little light, where it used to abound in it, but alas, I am one ... more »
