When entire cities have suicidal thoughts

"Seattle's New Socialist Mayor Will Be Worse Than Mamdani".

Wilson's pitch to bring Seattle back is to become more socialist. Ideologically, she is very Mamdani-like, but intellectually, she is Mamdani-light. Or, perhaps I should say, Mamdani without the looks or charm.

Tucker Carlson and his descent into...weirdness

"Tucker Carlson Goes Off The Deep End".

I don't think I remember hearing this before:

But something happened to Tucker Carlson in early 2023 that profoundly changed him.

In his own words, he was “physically mauled by a demon or something unseen that left claw marks on my sides. Then I was seized with this very intense desire to read the Bible.”

The demon attacked him during his sleep, with his wife at his side and four dogs in the bed. In the interview he gave the Blaze 18 months later, he said he still bore the marks and woke up in the morning to find blood in the sheets.

If a demon attacks you in your sleep, and you wind up as a raving anti-Semite, you've got a bigger problem than physical scars. 

Btw, Tucker, when the demon attack occurred, how long had it been since you had had your dogs' toenails clipped?

How the USS North Carolina was saved from the scrap heap

 

The battleship is just across the Brunswick County line in Wilmington, NC. My parents took my brother and me aboard when we were little, and we took our kids there, too. My favorite part of the ship (when I went aboard as an adult) was the galley. It included a mock-up of a small "store" where the sailors would have purchased things like candy bars and sodas - and Lucky Strike cigarettes (a few old packs were on display).

The government shutdown ends.

"House Votes to End Schumer Shutdown, Passes Government Funding Bill 222-209".

I presume our property and lives are all fully at risk, again?

That's a first for us!

Last night a neighbor sent out an email with a photo of the northern lights that she had taken from her backyard. 

Mrs. Paco and I went outside and took a gander, and the northern sky was indeed lit up with a rosy glow. This is the first time in  our lives we ever saw this phenomenon.
