Jane Austen, who died at 41 years of age on the 18th of July, 1817, might be one of the most conservative writers ever. "Sense and Sensibility" (published in 1811) is set in the 1790's in southern England, while the Reign Of Terror gripped France and while Vermont, Kentucky, and Tennessee became states in America. A quote: “I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.” (Sense And Sensibility) “I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational...

Biden dead-ender Joe Scarborough is on guard for anything that might jeopardize his guy's re-election prospects. So when Joe Manchin, the Democrat senator from West Virginia, yesterday floated the possibility of a third-party presidential run, Scarborough was quick to lead the charge against him on today's Morning Joe....with his usual F-words for Trump. When, teasing the news at the top of the show, Mika Brzezinski mentioned Manchin's musings, Scarborough twice interrupted with a skeptical, "come on, man." Scarborough cast Manchin's flirtation in the most negative terms possible: "Do you think he really wants to help a fascist get elected president?...

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump should go to jail if he was found guilty in the classified document case.

He wants to be — yes, he wants to be able to go home and do everything. And that’s the thing for me that is most egregious. Nobody goes home.”...

Here is Ron DeSantis full off-the-cuff response defending Trump vis-a-vis Trump's impending grand jury testimony: “Look, there’s a difference between being brought up on criminal charges and doing things. Like for example, I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. He should have come out more forcefully, of course. But to try to criminalize that, that's a different issue entirely and I think that we want to be in a situation where you don't have one side just constantly trying to put the other side in jail.”

UFOs are already having an impact on combat training for America's fighter pilots, a top national security official has warned. 'Some of these phenomena, we know, have already had an impact on our training ranges,' according to John Kirby, the National Security Council's Coordinator for Strategic Communications under President Biden. The comments suggest a new approach from the White House, whose press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre coyly dismissed questions about the F-22 stealth raptor jets that shot down three UFOs last February by saying, 'I love E.T. the movie.' Kirby, a retired rear admiral in the US Navy, said the unanswered...
