then it might even seek to provoke a conflict that wargamers convinced themselves Beijing would lose, which is a frightening scenario that can’t be ruled out.
Incredulous given that China has fully operational hypersonic anti-ship missles…
I want some of whatever these guys are smoking…No wonder everybody is confused; everyone thought “they” were talking world peace; when in fact they were talking about whirled peas…
Thanks “Common Core”. Education has dropped in a straight line since the Department of Education was founded, exactly as planned.
Bingo! But it’s worse than you can imagine…
The Underground History of American Education
by John Taylor GattoThis has been going on since about 1853 in the U.S.
Infantilization has been going on since 1853; and now we have the feminization of all male children too boot!!!!!!!!!!!!!The U.S. is sick, sick, sick…
The transgenderism political movement is but one of many issues destroying the fabric (what is left of it) of U.S. society.
God help the children of that doomed society…
The LoS has always accepted Transvestites (check out Pattaya & Bangkok) but has never acted out the looney toons seen in the U.S.; thank the gods…
The above picture of the basket ball team says it all…Claude Monet Grand Canal, Venice 1908
He (Monet) does water so well…
Here in LoS we have been in a heat wave for the last 2-3 weeks. The mercury has been hitting 40°c with many 39°c’s thrown in for good measure.
The humidity has been 40% which exacerbates the temps quite a bit… We don’t ususally turn on the air-con until the 35°c mark; which is usually by noon or one o’clock…
The weather bureau says another 2 weeks until some relief…
Hottest period in my 20 years here……….Anyone having anything to do with any of the covid mRNA “vaccines” at this point in time, is a blithering idiot!!!!!!!
Auguste Renoir The umbrellas 1881-6
Love that painting; especially the little girl with her stick and hoop.
Her face is just perfect; the expression on her face is just right, IMHO…So much garbage; so little time…
Much thanks to PHIL BUTLER for this…

On re-reading what I said, I have a lot of sympathy with your statement. Maybe it would be more appropriate to say that the evil puppeteer enables the evil puppets to do their worst.Thank you for that reply; seems fitting…and I agree…
Possibly our most powerful neurosis is denial…The evil is not in the puppet, it is in the puppet master.
That clever homily fails in the face of reality; in fact it distorts the truth of the participants actual role/responsibility in the horrors being perpetrated on citizens everywhere…
Thank you Michael Reid; Jennifer Bilek is awesome. That vid is so spot on, especially the last 3 minute summary…
Getting out of that sick society (USA) was the best decision I ever made…
CheersCertainly appears a Gish gallop of felonies facing Former President Donald J. Trump in court. World is watching TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) show the legal system of the United States for what it has become – fraudulent justice. Fair justice is a glue that holds society together through an implied trust in the system; the January 6th felonious use of the courts is a stable Hercules cannot clean, the social glue is dangerously eroded. Republics do not stand for long without a strong social glue. YMMV
Wow…
Thanks T-BearT-Bear
Best way to avoid federal income taxes is to avoid income.Spot on; I agree 100%
Lifestyle is everything…René Magritte The seducer 1953
The sea; the great seducer…
Wonderful painting…I went to sea on a 40 foot salmon trawler in the north Pacific out of Coos Bay, Oregon.
I spent 3-4 months in the late fall/early winter of 1967 trawling for Chinook Salmon; just me and the skipper; Chick Kaiser; knew his shit in heavy weather…thank the gods; I’m here to witness the adventure…
Great skipper who saved our bacon crossing a breaking bar during a great storm…40′ swells…It’s really incredible that people can open the newspaper every day, see a story like this – every day – and still just shrug and move on as though nothing unusual is taking place.
But isn’t that exactly the reality of our day to day lives, today? It is in fact our new normal…
Does anybody remember the movie, “Omega Man”? 1971 with Charlton Heston?
Today is straight out of that “movie”…spooky…Xi’s Trip To Moscow Solidifies The Sino-Russo Entente

: an international understanding providing for a common course of actionAnd there it is; the hegemon is finished…
The world should see this as an important moment in the settlement of priorities for the future of us…Hieronymus Bosch The Garden of Earthly Delights, centre panel, detail c1500
I like that painting; but there’s a disturbing quality to it that I can’t quite figure out…
Leonardo da Vinci A Copse of Trees 1508
Now, who in the hell would have thought to do just exactly that? To paint that picture exactly like that?
Obviously da Vinci did….
Awesome; no?VA, I understand the gravity of the use of firearms. What does certification offer?
Certification assures the qualifications of the instructor; and to teach safety and best practices of firearm usage.
Many firearms users would also benefit from a combat course teaching tactical applications for handguns and long guns as well.Regarding the firearm issue: There are a lot of cowboys out there who are ignorant of gun safety.
I agree with the recommendation to buy a shotgun. A 12 gauge pump-action with a short barrel (18″ – 20″inches) for ease of use indoors.
Most importantly; find a certified instructor of rifle, pistol, and shotgun; of which I am one.
The next most important item is to use/practise with it until you are confident in your ability.
In an emergency one does not have the time to consider how to function; it should be auto-matic and that only comes with experience…My credit union (non-profit), sent out an e-mailing assuring us members they are safe and sound.
I quit using banks more than 30 years ago…
Banks are a rigged game…Rembrandt van Rijn Student at a table by candlelight c.1642
That drawing is amazing; the detail. and the lightening, are just gorgeous.

US spies say ‘pro-Ukrainian group’ bombed Nord Stream – NYT
Anonymous agents cited unspecified intelligence to deny US responsibility for the pipeline attackFrom RT. “Pro-Ukrainian group”, you don’t suppose it would be the White House, U.S. State Department, U.S. Department of War by any chance?
LoL; nah; not a chance……….of course they have been known to lie a bit…..
