Current Mood: Dark, very, very dark.
You might even say ‘fowl’
I’m sure I’ll snap out of it later, as I generally do. But it is more difficult when all the facts tend to bear out your inner dread. Specifically, these two stories; the first was posted by Sarah Hoyt:
Were the lockdowns the worst public health decision in 100 years?
Which she posted with a question “Only 100 years?” and a comment - “But hey, it worked. They got to steal the election and take over our government” - followed by another question:
“How long will you tolerate this?”
The reality is we most likely don’t have all that long to decide according to Roger Kimball who wrote the foul mood article #2:
For US, Gradual Ruin Is About to Become Sudden.
There is the passage in the house of H.R. 1, the so-called “For the People” bill, which would effectively assure that were was never another fair election in this country.
It would do this by all-but-obliterating voter ID requirements—you need an ID to board a plane but not cast a vote—mandating same-day voter registration and at least two weeks of early voting, and by requiring states to provide unsupervised drop boxes to receive completed ballots.
In other words, H.R. 1 would centralize presidential elections, taking responsibility for oversight away from the states, where the Constitution placed it, and arrogating it to the clutches of the federal government and its sprawling bureaucracy.
If, as seems almost certain, H.R. 1 becomes the law of the land, it would be the final nail in the coffin of electoral integrity.
It’s quite enough to put you off your good mood.
But since I have an appointment I don’t have time to dwell on it just yet. I’ll reserve that agony for later, maybe after I’ve had some tacos.
I’ll probably get chicken tacos today

Could be worse. Could be bat.
I’d like to know who really wrote HR1. China?
If, as seems almost certain, H.R. 1 becomes the law of the land, it would be the final nail in the coffin of electoral integrity.
Final? We still have an Article V convention in the tool box.
It gives the advantage to densely populated urban centers.
It is much easier to cheat in those areas, much easier to find people willing to cheat, and much easier to ballot harvest from concentrated numbers of people.
HR1 is a federal mandate to require Tammany Hall rule for the entire United States.
It does not seem certain to me. There is a slim hope that Sinema of Arizona and Manchin of West Virginia may uphold the filibuster in the Senate.
My first experience with tacos was at a trailer park in South Carolina in the summer of 1975. My family was visiting a former neighbor who had moved down there. We had picnic tables setup outside and I remember the former neighbor making them for us.
She had packages of "taco" shells, which were like giant corn chips folded in on themselves. I had never seen these before. She proceeded to fill these shells with what looked like a Sloppy Joe mix and topped it off with shredded cheese and some lettuce.
I was 12 years old and I thought they were fantastic. Even though they were messy as could be and the stuff inside dripped down my chin and on to my shirt, much to my mother's chagrin. But I asked for another. Than another.
"What do you call these things?" I asked.
"Tacos" was the reply.
Ever since, I've liked tacos. But I prefer the crispy kind that come in those taco shells. Not the soft kind that they try to push on us these days, with the flour tortillas.
Yeah, but we always have SCOTUS. /s
Chicken Tacos for the woke generation. Made for each other.
