I'll be asking tomorrow as well, but I could use the Horde's prayers. Wednesday morning my legal problem comes to a hearing. I'm hoping things will be over quickly and result in minimal pain, but I'm a natural brooder who always expects the worst. If you're so inclined, give me a thought.

Travel day to return from Wisconsin to Delaware. On the wet and rainy roads until mid-afternoon, and then we are at the mercy of Delta Airlines. We'll not be in our home until after midnight.
We had a great visit with my three siblings, several cousins, and two uncles and two aunts.

A young black Egyptian woman doc is the anesthesiologist. Two young white docs are in the room. Her English is bad.
One of them asks her a question as I start to feel the fade. She mumbles. He looks at the other guy, the other guy asks her the question. She mumbles again.
As things fade to blue and gray for me, the last thing I see is the first guy going to the tile wall and making like he's beating his head against it.

This could be Trump's most momentous rally yet as he's going after Blacks and Hispanics nationwide in his fight to rebrand the R party away from the Country Club. What better platform for the Gavone from Queens than the Borough Beautiful, still branded as the epitome of urban blight and despair.
For all you NYC haters, know that it's Manhattanites that you really hate. You'd be in deplorable company with many of the BBQ bridge and tunnel crowd of all colors and stripes, and then there's Staten Island. Many hard-working, family-oriented.
So here's my prediction. Trump knows that AG Bragg and Judge Merchan are plotting to win a Kangaroo Kourt Konviction and then haul him away to Rikers. For the optics.
So Trump will use his Bronx rally to defy the gag order and force their hand to jail him the day after. For the optics.

In the late 70s, with the Bridge opened, all the Brooklyn Italians crossed-over as their neighborhoods collapsed in ruin.
Rudy won on his second try with Staten Island being the difference. When he ran for re-election he won everywhere except the Upper West Side.
If Staten Island had the population of Brooklyn, NYC would be similar to the entire country politically.

But there are limited situations in which the ICC has jurisdiction over the nationals of countries such as the US that have not joined the Rome Statute. This includes when a citizen of a non-member country commits war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide on the territory of an ICC member country.

Today is the Feast of Mary, Mother of the Church.
Mary, by virtue of being the mother of Jesus Christ, has always been recognized as the Mother of the Church, which Jesus established during His Passion. Before He expired on the Cross, Jesus gave His final instructions to Mary and John, elevating the nature of their relationship within the Kingdom of God. He said to Mary, “Woman, behold thy son,” and to St. John the Beloved (who mystically represents all His disciples), “Behold thy mother.” The title “Mother of the Church” was formally bestowed on Our Lady by Pope Paul VI, and she was given a liturgical memorial under this title by Pope Francis. The feast of Mary, Mother of the Church is celebrated on the Monday following Pentecost, highlighting the fact that the Mother of God was praying alongside her spiritual sons, the Twelve Apostles, at the moment when the Holy Spirit descended upon them at Pentecost.

>>The Rose Revolution is considered one of the early examples of colour revolutions. It was marked by strong role of non-governmental organizations and student activism. The role of the United States, as in other colour revolutions, has been a subject of significant controversy.
>>Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) played a significant role in the Rose Revolution. By the end of 2000, the number of NGOs estimated to be in Georgia numbered around four thousand. The 1997 Civil Code made the registration of an NGO relatively easy, and they operated in Georgia with few restrictions.

Life as a Mullah probably isn't quite as grand as they make it out to be.

That's what sparked the current round of protests in Georgia. They passed a law to make it mandatory that any NGO that receives over 20% of its funding from a foreign source must register as a foreign agent. Some are saying this is a Putin inspired law and they are probably right.
NGOs are a key element of color revolutions including the ones currently fueling the protests in the US on college campuses and they are making bank bringing illegals into the US.

This is not a joke.
Meet Vivian Smotherman. SmotherMAN is running for State Senate in Colorado.
SmotherMAN wants you to believe that he is a woman.
He believes in an “immigrant population,” “safe abortions,” and body mutilation, and he blamed Pope Benedict's death on "Christian extremism." He also believes that everyone in the same party as Trump "needs to go and clean up their own house."
In Peru he would be considered “mentally ill” but in the U.S. he is celebrated and now seeks to represent you in government.

In the heritage American model there was a strong civil society.
The diffusion of power between federal, state, and local government and then families, churches, and civic groups made a free society as all the different elements could, and did, check each other.
In Soviet America though the federal government controls the state and local government, the civic groups (NGOs) and more and more the churches.

Putin is well aware of what color revolutions are all about and who is running them. A few years back he sent troops into Kazakhstan to help put down a color revolution and gave a speech where he flat out said that he would not tolerate any additional color revolutions in former Soviet satellites.

In Red China during the Cultural Revolution - what I think is the closest analogue to Current Year America - the fear was of ruthless, dead-eyed killers in the form of 20-something women stalking through every institution in the land. The men were more to be feared out on the streets of the village, but at work or school, it was the dames.

Why should we be in the business of ousting foreign governments? Yet we are, with the easily manipulated "red lines" that allowed us to put troops in Syria and take over Ukraine for the benefit of the oligarchs. We bombed Belgrade for less than what the Russian speakers endured under the leaders preferred by DC.

I predict that, this summer, the news will be flooded with climate change stories and how if temperature trends continue it'll be 400F by December.
Read a story this morning how insurance companies are blaming climate change as reason for exorbitant rate hikes. However there is no data that backs that assertion.

I doubt it. It's possible, but I doubt it. The vast majority - if not 100% - of these organizations are almost certainly Quangos juiced with taxpayer money, likely from the US and the UK.
Most "NGOs" are not anything of the sort. I am entirely fond of the British word for them, which is the aforementioned "Quango." Quasi-NGO. Not a direct arm of the government (non-governmental), but supported and funded by the government. These aren't real NGOs, they're outsourcing firms for the state.

I'm naive enough to think the world isn't full of bad actors and other governments are doing the same thing. Hell, we fight communist encroachment in our hemisphere and have for decades. And I'm not 100% against taking down bad actors when it serves the nations interests.
I just think our deep state actors and the politicians who are in league with them have gotten too comfortable playing masters of the universe. They don't seem to realize bad things can come of good intentions.

Late last year we got two notices from our two homeowner's insurance companies. Both had changed the processes for determining the value of our home AND made changes to the criteria surrounding storm damage and how much they'd reimburse.
Two months later we're hit with a severe hailstorm. New roof (I'm out $2700 on that) and still waiting on the replacement siding.

Because we're the imperial capital. Our empire plays games of brinkmanship and power and influence and money against the other empires. With the fall of the USSR, we were the last one standing. We won, for whatever it was worth.
Our empire will not last forever. It is, I suspect, in the process of falling as we speak. Then the next empires will fill the void. If we don't fall completely, we *will* shrink and/or move to different areas. We can't afford it anymore, and we're not competent enough to keep running it.

It's marketing. Nothing more.
The real reason is inflation, interest rates, investment performance and payout ratio. The real reasons never change.
But "climate change" looks better to the Millennials, who are aging into their top productive years and are likely the most important market segment. "Don't blame me, blame The Dread Carbon" likely works on a majority of that segment, and helps redirect some customer ire toward a simplistic and stupid target that requires no explanation and no hard questions.

I think you could mostly fix private sector unions by only allowing them to work at one company.
EG: No autoworkers union - a Ford Union, a Chrysler Union, etc...
That makes the union management have to worry about the fate of the company they are attached to (if Ford dies so does your sweet union gig) and makes it somewhat easier for Ford employees to change their leadership if it gets too corrupt.

AP, WORLD NEWS, London court rules WikiLeaks founder Assange can appeal against an extradition order to the US, By Brian Melley and Jill Lawless, May 20, 2024
LONDON (AP) — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can appeal against extradition to the United States on espionage charges, a London court ruled Monday — a decision likely to further drag out an already long legal saga.
High Court judges Victoria Sharp and Jeremy Johnson said Assange has grounds to challenge the United Kingdom’s government’s extradition order.
Assange, 52, has been indicted on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse over his website’s publication of a trove of classified U.S. documents almost 15 years ago.
His supporters cheered and applauded outside court as news of the ruling reached them from inside the Royal Courts of Justice.

Here in Colorado it's because of the Marshall Fire lawsuit.
Despite all these houses being built on top of known underground coal fires, and an investigation into the source of the fire for over a year, they blamed. . . Xcel energy. Yeah, that's it. Despite initial reports that it absolutely wasn't a downed power line on that windy day.
So yeah, Xcel is passing along the cost to the rest of the states' residents, because that's the only way they can survive. ALL get to pay for Boulder's folly - the corrupt country commissioner and others who knowingly gave in to developers and greenlit all those housing development.
The one good part is now, whenever it gets windy, Xcel shuts down power in Boulder county - for safety! And the Boulderites are pissed!!

the media is BIG MAD President Biden got a standing ovation at Morehouse College this morning and there were no disruptions or large protests.
I was impressed. Joe was in complete control throughout. No ReTHUG agitators were allowed to fuck up proceedings.
Yup, Joe is decent and smarter than we often give him credit for. I love the guy. Will TSF demand a drug test for this speech? Biden and his administration are on the pulse of the country and that he has been doing so well gets in their crawls. There is always a message from Biden-Harris for the everyday life, such as Earth Day but only silence from the other side..no message of positivity or kindness.

I don't. We'll find out one way or another.
Britain was probably the most orderly and least destructive fall of a major empire in human history, and it was possible *only* because there was a rich, productive, competent, powerful new empire who had already slotted in to replace it during unrelated (or tangentially-related) prior events - that is, we did. We didn't take over the British Empire, but we built a new-fangled, different empire next to it and radically smoothed the transition. The British Empire fell with comparative grace, and the British polity survived it.
That was probably a unique event in human history, and I don't think we get an outcome that good, nor will our possessions abroad.

Poo Tin will take what he can take. So will his successors. I know you don't want to believe it but that's been the history of Russia. Why would it be any different now?
The salient question is why it's our job to reverse Russia. It's obviously Russia's neighbors job to do it. We can help them but it's their neighborhood.
Ukraine tried to remove Trump from office when he was nosing around what Congress was doing with our money there. It wasn't lost on me who the Vindman brothers were shilling for.
Our more important border is with Mexico because we're suffering 100,000 deaths a year from the drugs flooding in and huge negative knock off effects. Until that's fixed we're circling the drain. And Democrats tenaciously fight every effort to reverse anything that weakens
the country.

One of the reasons the Bond books and movies were so popular is that Fleming (and the movie scripters) portrayed a declining and fairly politically impotent 1960s Britain as still being one of the "Big Three."
There is always a message from Biden-Harris for the everyday life, such as Earth Day but only silence from the other side..no message of positivity or kindness.
Yes, because telling black college grads that they can never succeed and that the country hates them is the epitome of 'kindness.'

I suspect the general public believes the hype that they're significantly better than good high schools and the laughable fiction that they're comparable to even halfway decent state schools.

It's really just another version of "what we have now sucks, this other thing would be way way better." Although it never really would.

The missing link in understanding Eastern Europe is that after the call of communism there was an American/Western European looting phase prior to Putin's rise to power.
Yes many of them fondly, and incorrectly, remember the Soviet Union, but they also correctly remember what things were like before Putin came to power.

It had already started. The real mind-fuck would be if you told them that we would spend so much on the latter that the entire cost of the space program - hell, the entire cost of America's globe-spanning political and economic empire - would reduce to a rounding error on the total, and that all the outlay would correlate perfectly with worsening outcomes - yet we keep doing it for decades.

Should be but largely isn't. That's why we took out the pro-Russian president of Ukraine and installed our own. Ukraine was about to do a trade deal with Putin instead of a proposed trade deal with the EU.
Trump was targeted not just by Democrats but the deep state because he wanted no part of the global Risk game. Also why us America First types are called isolationists, white supremacists, racists and any other random slur they finding lying around. Those of us who are more interested in our own country and don't want to spend all our money and time rearranging the world order are evil.

All while they graduate with $200K of debt from a college that can't teach at higher than a B+ high school level.
ADDENDUM:
I would bet big money that the top level HBCUs are operating at 7th and 8th grade levels in good communities where parents give a dang.
You don't want to think too hard about the mid and bottom tier HBCUs like ASU where, if the announcer at one of their football games is to be believed, they graduate more black teachers than any other college.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- From the Pennsylvania Convention Center to Independence Mall, about 4,000 members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) chanted to show their presence and power on Sunday.
"Workers today, they know they have power, and they're willing to use it," said April Verrett, the SEIU secretary-treasurer.
Members of the SEIU banded together at the Unions for All March in Philadelphia to demand new rules and higher standards for workers in all industries.
...
The march came to an end at Independence National Historical Park, where elected officials such as Pennsylvania State Senator Vincent Hughes and U.S. Senator Bob Casey showed their support for workers to unionize.

Yes! I liked how the movie mirrored the book plot: you get the impression someone wanted to write a story about a college lit professor, who happens to be black, has a midlife crisis and needs to resolve some longstanding family issues.
But. . . Hollywood wanted a "black" movie, so he/she threw in the silly book deal part (which really is funny), to get the story going, but then redirects to the real story about a guy coming to terms w/family, career, and current state of publishing.

While most of society benefits from peace and orderly trade, very few profit enormously from war. Given their recent complaints of overpopulation... Who has the motive, means and opportunity to plunge the world into another world war they can sit out in Bor-Bora?

WaPo, 3 days ago: In the fraught weeks after the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. flew an upside-down American flag at their home following a dispute with a neighbor over anti-Trump yard signs, according to a statement from the justice and interviews with neighbors.
(Mrs. A. didn't tolerate a lot of nonsense of neighbors.)
So the 'attacks' on Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Alito are ever increasing.
And RFJ, Jr. continues to publicly *itch his requests for Secret Service protection have been denied repeatedly.
