Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah Sunday Thoughts:* I know the douchebag in question actually said what he said this past Wednesday and not today but the point is the same. The douchebag in question was Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia who I referred to in yesterday's *Midnight Meme* for his comparing Trump's impeachment to Christ's crucifixion. Sure, lots of us at times might love to see Trump dragged though the streets, whipped, beaten to a bloody orange pulp and then executed, maybe even hung from a lamp post by his thumbs like one of his role models by the name of Benito Mussolini. But that's not ho... more »
Helping the cause
Radio 4's *Sunday *was busy helping the cause again today, just as *Broadcasting House* did recently. It started with Ed Stourton telling us that Boris Johnson "has come under fire" for removing a provision in Theresa May's Withdrawal Bill designed to help child refugees "at a time of concern about the level of local authority spending on child refugees". Then came a discussion between a loving foster parent and her grateful Muslim refugee child. And that was followed by an interview with the head of a campaigning, pro-refugee charity who found Boris's removal of the provision "dis... more »
More Stormzy
It was only yesterday that I wrote: On the question of whether we as a country had fewer "shared moments" during this past decade, Kirsty Wark suggested a couple - one of which was Stormzy. That made me smile. It's very BBC. The BBC loves Stormzy and has shared many a Stormzy moment over the past few years. Others may take the Brendan O'Neill line that Stormzy is "a Guardian editorial made flesh". This, then, couldn't be less of a surprise: We are thrilled to announce that @stormzy will be bringing Christmas Day to a close this year on @BBCOne, telling the story of the first ever ... more »

The FEC Fined Facebook $5 Biilion. Here's Why They Were Right.
*Roslyn Layton* *Politics, Americas* [image: Facebook Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg testifies at a House Financial Services Committee hearing in Washington, U.S., October 23, 2019.

In July 2019, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced a settlement with Facebook for alleged violations of a 2012 commission order and the FTC Act. The settlement’s record-breaking $5 billion fine and sweeping conduct relief required Facebook to implement new privacy controls, structural reforms, and compliance and transparency terms.

Union Soldiers' Crazy Plan To Tunnel Under Confederate Defenses Horribly Failed
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* A bad plan. *Key point: *The battle was over, but the repercussions were still to come. It was just after 3 am on Saturday, July 30, 1864. A month of relative quiet along a two-mile stretch of Union and Confederate trench lines immediately east of Petersburg, Virginia, was about to come to an explosive end.

Musical Interlude: Hans Zimmer, "Time"
“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.” ~ Carl Sandburg ○ “Time goes, you say? Ah no! Alas, Time stays, *we* go.” ~ Henry Austin Dobson ○ "Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, that reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again.

"We Are All Tattooed..."
"We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible.

"What Are The Facts?"
“What are the facts? Again and again and again – what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the un-guessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!” - Robert A. Heinlein And always remember...

"A Big Denial System..."
"In order to protect our emotional wounds, and because of our fear of being hurt, humans create something very sophisticated in the mind: a big denial system. In that denial system we become the perfect liars. We lie so perfectly that we lie to ourselves and we even believe our own lies. We don't notice we are lying, and sometimes even when we know we are lying, we justify the lie and excuse the lie to protect ourselves from the pain of our wounds. The denial system is like a wall of fog in front of our eyes that blinds us from seeing the truth. We wear a social mask because it's t... more »

Boo
Reading Rod Liddle's column in *The Sunday Times*, I see that Nish Kumar is to host the next series of Radio 4's *The News Quiz. * Rod reckons that he ticks a box...in that "like seemingly every other comedian employed by the corporation, he is about as funny as kidney stones or gas gangrene of the shin". You may recall that the left-wing comic did his act (i.e. a political rant) at a charity event recently. Not being in front of the usual obliging Radio 4 audience, he bombed badly and ended up getting booed and breadrolled (if it's possible to make a verb out of 'bread roll'). Wh... more »

They were the result of years, at times decades, of the random violence, brutal repression and collective humiliation the United States has inflicted on others. Our terror is delivered to the wretched of the earth with industrial weapons. It is... more »
Gretins want to ban asthma inhalers
*A goal is to turn 300 million lives into hell in order to cool the globe by 0.003 °C per century* Climate alarmists have grown into one of the fanaticized movements that are most dangerous for mankind today – and perhaps the #1 danger for the civilization. They would not only love to ban King Coal, the most intelligent source of energy. They want to turn the people of the world into vegetarians and fags. They want to ban lots of other things that "cause the global warming". They want to strip everybody of his or her basic freedoms and civil rights, too. Hours ago, some Czechs who ... more »

How Being ‘Tough on Crime’ Became a Political Liability
*Jody D. Armour* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Kamala Harris’ campaign fizzled as her past as a prosecutor haunted her candidacy. Kamala Harris recently dropped out of the presidential race after months of attacks from the left for her “tough-on-crime” record as San Francisco’s district attorney and as California’s attorney general. A few years ago, the idea that being tough on crime would be a liability – not an asset – was unthinkable for both Democrats and Republicans. Bill Clinton, during the 1992 presidential race, interrupted his campaign so he could return to Arka... more »

Impeachment 101 For a Brain-Damaged "President."
OK, Donnie Dumbo, time to go to camera three.

The Media Help Erode Our Norms
By Brent Bozell and Tim Graham ~ When the Washington Post infamously posted the motto “Democracy Dies in Darkness” on its masthead after Donald Trump was elected, it was implicit — oh, sure, they’ll deny it — that Trump was the enemy of democracy, and of “light,” or transparency. So it was sadly poetic that […]

A Really Strange Fact: The U.S. Navy Helped Create the U.S. Air Force
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* [image: Reuters] A big deal. *Key point:* The Navy supported the development of airplanes when their use in war was just a theory. On March 25, 1898, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt recommended that two officers “of scientific attainment and practical ability” be appointed to investigate the Samuel P. Langley flying machine and report on its “practicability and potentiality for use in war.” Within a month, a joint Army-Navy board on aeronautics submitted a report on the flying machine, commenting on its military ap... more »

*Frederick Kagan* *Security, Middle East* Here's why. Afghanistan isn’t Vietnam. It isn’t even Iraq. George W. Bush did not lie America into this war.

The “revelations” in The Washington Post are only new to people who have forgotten front page news from a few years ago.
