True the Vote Defeats Fair Fight, Stacey Abrams, Marc Elias, and the Biden Department of Justice in Landmark Election Case in Georgia Federal Court

Fighting back a cold and happy to have made it through another year.  Mourning the loss of some friends and family.  Some successes, some things not so successful.  Overall more wins than losses.  Not happy about the overall state of the world and the country.  Frustrated that I can't do anything about it.  Worried about retirement... do I retire next year or go another couple of years?  Wife is still chronically ill but we're trying to remain positive.  Really not looking forward to what this country will go through in 2024.  But very happy to have friends here in The Zone who are more or less sane.

So sorry for your loss, Rush.  And Number7, get well soon.

<sigh>

The Berlin wall was used to keep people on one side of the wall... using deadly force.

The "keep people in" vs "keep people out" isn't relevant.  But, as I said, apparently too subtle.

Keeping people in is imprisonment. Keeping people out is protecting your own sovereignty. Big difference.

I gotta think tenure was from the old days when to be a professor you adhered to a higher standard of moral and professional conduct than expected from the general public and tenure was earned and deserved. Most professors were probably male and so had families to support. Professor salaries are lower than other white collar professions so tenure as job security was a trade off for the lower pay. It made sense. Today the quality of many professors is in the toilet and it’s become a lazy person’s easy mode career for the nonproductive.

I wasn’t around for WW2 but my parents were. The direct impact on me was my father and mother traveling to attend the reunions of Dad’s army buddies. I sensed a tight bond among those guys that I didn’t understand as a child.

So you spend a couple years among a group of random strangers, and for the rest of your lives you act like you were all born from the same mother?  They were in their 80s and still traveling all over the country for those reunions.  Made no sense to me as a kid but now I know.

RIP Dad, and all who fought in that war.

It's time we remove ourselves from the UN and kick them out of our country. The overwhelming majority of member countries hate us. Fuck them.

I suspect what we would actually get from a CoS is abortion on demand, stricter gun control and illegal alien voting rights.
