Back in July of 2020, Chris Cuomo posed a question: “Can we trust the data from florida’s governor?” That was monumentally ironic. We'll "circle back" to that later. As regular readers here will remember, we've been well aware of Cuomo's malfeasances vis-a-vis the COVID CCP Wuhan Chinese virus pandemic. We remember his mandating that nursing homes take in COVID positive patients. We remember saying that his elderly death numbers were vastly under-reported. I remember writing that "Andrew Cuomo is an arrogant pompous self-righteous a**hole."The lid finally blew off the cesspool that is the Governor's office. Cuomo's aide admitted falsifying data:...

Sunday, February 14, 2021 Feast of St. Valentine (early 200s to AD 269 or 270), Patron of Love, Young People, Happy Marriages St. Valentine, officially known as St. Valentine of Rome, is a third-century Roman saint widely celebrated on February 14 and commonly associated with "courtly love."  Although not much of St. Valentine's life is reliably known, it is generally agreed that St. Valentine was martyred in about 270 AD and then buried on the Via Flaminia to the north of Rome. In 1969, the Roman Catholic Church removed St. Valentine from the General Roman Calendar, because so little...

Under the belief it was the movie that would most offend today’s Woketards, last week I wrote about the gloriously inappropriate and problematic Animal House (1978). Finding myself in a Belushi mood, a few days later, I watched his next hit, 1980’s The Blues Brothers, and quickly realized today’s Hitler Youth would hate this one even more — a whole lot more. You have no idea how blessed I was to come of age in the 70s and 80s, two of the freest decades, not only in our country’s history but in world history. By 1970, Hollywood’s self-censoring Production Code...

The term "midlife crisis" was coined by psychoanalyst Elliott Jaques in 1965. The English language somehow made do without that phrase for the previous six hundred years, yet today, could we get along without it? In 1900, the average American male life expectancy was 47. In 1965, it was 67. An additional two decades of existence: More time to ruminate about your time running out. In this as in so many instances, art preceded (social) science: The then-nameless male midlife crisis had been explored before, through farce (1955's The Seven Year Itch), then high-brow literature (John Cheever's classic 1964 story...

Michigan ammunition manufacturing company Fenix Ammunition announced a no tolerance policy relating to sales to Joe Biden voters on Thursday, sending left-wingers up in arms over the consequences of their own actions. Customers who use Fenix Ammo’s website are asked to affirm that they didn’t vote for Joe Biden when making a purchase. The Novi company primarily sells ammunition online. Fenix’s owners cited Biden’s pledge to criminalize online sales of ammunition as justification for the no tolerance policy. If Biden enacted such a gun control measure, it would destroy Fenix’s business, as well as many other smaller manufacturers of ammunition...

McConnell and the GOP elites (GOPe) worked against President Trump for years preventing him from passing his wildly popular agenda to protect America, its workers, and its citizens. McConnell did not hold back as he ripped Trump apart for a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and attempting to “overturn the election.” He claimed that the protesters stormed the Capitol because they had been “fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth,” and that Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.” And then Mitch McConnell suggested that President Trump can still be charged in...

Search on for 16 people missing off Florida coast in 2 separate boating incidents U.S. Coast Guard crews were searching Sunday for 16 people missing in the waters off the Florida coast in two ocean rescue emergencies, including one involving a "makeshift vessel" that launched from Cuba with 10 people aboard, officials said. Both searches began on Friday and continued on Sunday. One of the rescue efforts was launched after a good Samaritan found a man described as a Jamaican national alive 23 miles off the coast of Fort Pierce, Florida, after he said he'd been on a boat with...

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Feb. 13. To-day was one of those fixed upon for the contemplated raid on the Capital, and a few weeks ago many freely predicted that the counting of the electoral votes would never be peacefully accomplished. The day has passed remarkably calm. Even the atmosphere was soft and balmy, and the air so still that the national flags over the Capitol hang closely to their staves. The scene in the House was very impressive. Thousands of people were present, filling every available spot. As many more left, being quite unable to reach the galleries. The arrangements for keeping...

So many have expressed their anger at the 7 ostensibly Republican Senators for betraying the Republican Party. But this is far bigger than that, and is not limited to party. I propose we instead express our anger that 57 US Senators who swore an oath to uphold the US Constitution betrayed their public trust in sham process of petty political vengeance. Nobody swore an oath to always faithfully vote for their party. The absurdity of the sham was too great for any of the 57 to have the excuse that they were honestly following their convictions. Presuming that none of...

The Port of Portland is considering a major overhaul that could include the sale or repurposing some of its riverfront terminals, one of its smaller airports and other important holdings. “Just about everything is on the table,” said Curtis Robinhold, the port’s executive director. The restructuring is part of sweeping philosophical shift away from facilitating trade for powerful business interests to a “shared prosperity initiative” intended to spread the wealth to people of color, the poor and the marginalized. In some cases, that could mean selling off profitable operations in order to pursue these new, broader aims, which are taking...

Former President Donald Trump's actions fit the definition of insurrection, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R- La., who crossed party lines by voting to convict Trump, told ABC News Chief George Stephanopoulos Sunday." "I listened very carefully to all the arguments. But if you describe insurrection as I did, as an attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power, we can see the president for two months after the election, promoting that the election was stolen," Cassidy said. "It was clear that he wished that lawmakers be intimidated. And even after he knew there was violence taking place, he continued to basically...

Michigan State Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey was caught on camera telling officials from the Hillsdale County Republican Party that the Capitol takeover was “staged” and a “hoax.” In the footage, which is over an hour long, Shirkey also says that Mitch McConnell “was part of it… They wanted to have a mess” so that they could impeach Donald Trump. The video was posted on YouTube by Hillsdale County Republican Party Secretary Jon Smith, who is upset with Shirkey for repeatedly caving to Democrats. During the conversation, Shirkey says that the January 6 protest “wasn’t Trump people.” “That’s been a...

The cold was our pride, the snow was our beauty. It fell and fell, lacing day and night together in a milky haze, making everything quieter as it fell, so that Winter seemed to partake of religion in a way no other season did, hushed, solemn. - Patricia Hampl Richard Savoie - Canadian pastellist Embrace the day, regardless of what it brings.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.
