A Few Headlines - best of the interwebs

Congratulations to the Winners of the Best Illusion of the Year Contest!

First Prize: “Dual Axis Illusion,” by Frank Force, USA



More visual teasers to hurt your brain.

The toxic rhetoric of climate change
"Activist scientists and the media quickly seize upon each extreme weather event as having the fingerprints of manmade climate change — ignoring the analyses of more sober scientists showing periods of even more extreme weather in the first half of the 20th century, when fossil fuel emissions were much smaller."
But it's not about science - 'settled' or otherwise. It's about command & control of a repressed population.

“Success:” We will be flying today at a cruising altitude of 4 feet for 12 seconds.
"We seldom have an image of the exact moment when the history of the world changed. But we do have this one from one hundred and sixteen years ago (yesterday) at 10:35 AM Atlantic."

Tories call for urgent investigation into £3million that George Soros funnelled into anti-Brexit campaign aimed at bringing down Boris Johnson
"His New York-based Open Society Foundation sent the money to the pro-EU Best for Britain group via a London outpost, circumventing a ban on foreign donations to political organisations."
This is from November, and the Tories have since gone on to a massive rout against the Leftists last week. Of course, the question in these matters is always, "Investigation to what end?"

​Is psychopathy untreatable?
"Here are the problems, with which I am sure most people in my field would agree. First, most serious psychopaths rarely seek help, and then usually only when they get in trouble. Second, lying and manipulating are second nature to them, so they try to play you. Some are quite adept. Third, they tend to be unreliable with showing up or paying their bills. There are others, too." - Dr. Joy Bliss
IG Michael Horowitz's testimony erases Democratic talking points about the FBI's handling of the outset of the sprawling Russia investigation, yet the Democrats continue to lie and lie and lie and lie, aided by their willing accomplices in the MSM. Listen:




FISA Court Issues Rare Public Order Condemning FBI for Russia Probe Abuses and Demanding Reforms
"“The frequency with which representations made by FBI personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession, and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable,” wrote the FISA court."
But for three years, ALL THE BEST PEOPLE KEPT TELLING US IT WAS TRUMP WHO UNDERMINED THE CONSTITUTION AND OUR INSTITUTIONS.

IG Report Proves Adam Schiff Has Been Lying About Spygate Since The Beginning
Congress cannot impeach a U.S. Representative, but they sure as hell can expel him.  (Article I, Section 5, Clause 2)


USA TODAY Poll: Impeached or not, Trump leads his Democratic rivals for another term
Polls, schmolls. Until the inevitable Hillary / Michelle 2020 ticket sweeps the other Democrat placeholders aside next summer, we won't have an accurate polling portrait this far out.

Did you know there is an impending government shutdown this Friday? Of course not because 24/7 Orange Man Bad is Hitler!! Shut. It. Down. (it can do less damage that way)

Levin: How impeachment is really about blocking another Trump SCOTUS pick
That's part of it. The larger picture is the Left's hatred for  Trump's 'America First' agenda.

Or, Why is the Left such a cesspit of corruption, and cover-ups?

The Collapse of the Silver Bridge – December 15th, 1967

Real World War II
"May 9th of this year marks the 65th anniversary of the defeat of the fascist Germany or the Victory in Europe Day as it’s known here. In Russia and most of the countries of the former Soviet Union it’s a huge deal, and even for those of us who don’t live there anymore it’s a day of remembrance – every family was touched by the war, lost someone they loved, made unbelievable sacrifices and gave up everything that was asked of them and more to make the victory possible."
A personal note: I know a woman named Tatyana. She grew up in 1980's St. Petersburg, then known as Leningrad. Upon immigrating to the USA in the 1990's, Tatyana was astonished to learn that the American military played any part at all in defeating the Nazis during WWII. Tayana says that was not part of any history Soviet students were taught!

"It racked up more than 11.7 million views in its first 24 hours online."
Uh, it's simple geometry, people.

1979 Triumph Spitfire. Some Assembly Required. You Know, After the Disassembly That’s Required
"It’s a British car, and wiring harness smoke is factory installed."
I own a '58 MG-A, so I suffer a similar neurosis.
