ITEM 1: Trump tweeted to end the war in Ukraine. The peacemaker is the guy they warned us would start World War III.
He didn't but maybe Biden, the guy they replaced him with, will.
ITEM 2: Truth About Guns reported, "After Two Mass Shootings, California Rep. Judy Chu Demands Gun Control Laws That Are Already On the Books."
Note to journalists, if I have to tell readers, "this is not the Babylon Bee," you are doing it right.

ITEM 1: WFLA reported, "The College Board, the non-profit organization that designs and manages the Advanced Placement courses in the United States, announced the rejected pilot program of their AP African American Studies course would be updated.
"The course was recently rejected from use in the state of Florida, with state officials saying the proposed study course 'lacks educational value and historical accuracy.'"
Daniel Greenfield reported earlier, "'Rape the White Girls' Poet Included in Florida’s Black AP Course.
"'We are all beautiful (except white people, they are full of, and made of s__t).'"
I shudder thinking what students did for extra credit.
ITEM 2: Zero Hedge reported, "Ukraine Rocked By Corruption Scandal, Wave Of Top Officials Resign: Sports Cars, Mansions & Luxury Vacations As People Suffered."
Who could have predicted this?
Emerson College poll.
ITEM 2: Breitbart reported, "Olympic sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson posted a series of videos that she claims prove an American Airlines flight attendant harassed her. Still, the way her fellow passengers cheered during her removal from the flight seems to show few agreed with her complaints.
"The embattled Olympian posted her video to Instagram in which she immediately accused a flight attendant of harassing her when he walked by and let her know it was time to turn electronic items off because the plane was preparing to take off."
Al Capone was brought down by Eliot Ness and the Department of Treasury. The FBI had nothing to do with it. https://t.co/UEdd629xJF

ITEM 1: M&M's have fired their woke, diverse and inclusive spokescandies in favor of hiring Maya Rudolph as the brand's new spokesperson and Chief of Fun.
Woke ain't fun.
Via Marketing Dive, the company said, "America, let’s talk. In the last year, we’ve made some changes to our beloved spokecandies. We weren’t sure if anyone would even notice. And we definitely didn’t think it would break the internet. But now we get it — even a candy’s shoes can be polarizing. Which was the last thing M&M’s wanted since we’re all about bringing people together."
I liked M&Ms better when they melted in your mouth, not on your politics.
I swear, I can kick as good as the Dallas Cowboys kicker.

Today's Substack column, "So irrelevant they won't stop talking about him," is open to all subscribers and readers. Please enjoy it.
ITEM 1: The New York Post reported, "Nancy Pelosi reportedly summons priests to exorcise home of evil spirits."
But her husband Paul still refuses to leave.
ITEM 2: NYT reported, "When Students Change Gender Identity, and Parents Don’t Know.
ITEM 1: Quartz reported on June 26, 2019, "The Wayfair walkout is the latest corporate backlash to Trump’s immigration policies."
The story said, "Workers from online home goods retailer Wayfair are walking out today to protest their employer’s sale of beds to an immigrant detention center.
"The employees want the company to cancel its contract to supply the beds and donate the money it’s made from the sale so far to a group that helps immigrant children."
The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, "Wayfair Inc. is laying off about 1,750 workers, or 10% of its workforce, as the online furniture seller confronts shrinking sales after a pandemic-driven boom."
They should check to see if MyPillow is hiring.
ITEM 2: The LA Daily News reported, "Al Gore’s dark past is an inconvenient truth."
A new generation discovers the guru of global warning's sexual harassment of women, which cost him his marriage to Tipper.
Left out is his most famous quote as vice president, "There is no controlling legal authority that says this was in violation of law."
He said it seven times in a press conference to address questions about how he received thousands of dollars in campaign donations from Buddhist priests and nuns who had a vow of poverty.
But he is not the most evil environmentalist. Ira Einhorn, a co-founder of Earth Day (which is held each year on Lenin's Birthday) killed his girlfriend.
True to environmentalism, he composted her body.
ITEM 3: Speaking of the devil, Fox reported, "'Angry and bitter' Michigan school board member claims 'Whiteness is evil,' faces backlash for divisive tweets."
Backlash?

We need a Real Felines of Orange County show.

Returning to the blog comes with a change -- no comments because monitoring comments for spam is just too time consuming. My time better spent researching, writing and editing. Thank you for understanding.
ITEM 1: Breitbart reported, "Chinese Communist Party propagandists on Monday rushed to embrace the spirit of the World Economic Forum (WEF), held annually in Davos, Switzerland.
"According to the country that unleashed the Wuhan coronavirus upon the world, lied relentlessly about the disease, and acted ruthlessly against anyone who questioned Beijing’s fictions, China embraces the same spirit of global cooperation as the WEF.
"China’s state-run Global Times on Monday said the WEF being held in person for the first time in three years 'marks that the world economy and people’s social lives are gradually walking out of the shadow of the pandemic.'"

Paul Ryan, the American Prince Harry, called President Donald Trump a loser.
One Friday ago, Democrats were laughing and chomping on popcorn and having a good old time as Republicans went through ballot after ballot and still couldn’t elect a speaker. They went on TV and asked how can Republicans lead when they cannot elect a leader, hardy-har-har.
Call it the tale of two raids. One that happened but shouldn't have, the other that should have happened but didn't.
Propping up the racketeer-influenced corrupt government of Ukraine has a price to pay larger than the $100 billion in aid the USA provided (more than we spent on food stamps last year). The weapons and ammo Zelensky gets to prove his manhood against Putin adversely affect readiness for the U.S. military, according to Admiral Daryl Caudle.
He is the Navy Fleet Forces commander.
He chewed out defense suppliers at the Surface Navy Association Symposium in Arlington, Virginia.
After the midterms, the opposition party took over the House intent on bringing down the president.
The press rejoiced.
My favorite Aretha Franklin song is Think. Evidently it was John Belushi's as well as he used it in Blues Brothers, eschewing Respect, which was used in the sequel. Third would be Chain of Fools. Let's face it, all her men cheated on her.
The lesson, ladies, is never date a Democrat.
Biden's open borders policy has seen millions of illegal aliens stream into the country like ants headed to a sugar cube.
But that's not the worst. Biden got a Democrat Congress to pass the CHIPS and Science Act. It may as well be the fish and chips act because it does not really build America's chips industry as much as it does Mexico's.

At 3 PM, I will post, "The blizzard that blew away the Old West."
It begins, "Monday was the 136th anniversary of the Big Die-Up, a snowstorm that starved cattle who could not forage for food. Many cattlemen went broke. Those who didn’t leave put up fences and grew grain to feed their herds.
"The worse was yet to come. A year later, the Children’s Blizzard killed 500 people, many of whom were schoolchildren trying to make their way home in blinding snow and sub-zero temperatures. Its 135th anniversary is Thursday."
It is for paid subscribers only.
My next blog post will be at 11 AM.
Did I say One Million Moms for Gun Control? No, no, no. The name is Moms Demand Action. The full name is Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
In a story canonizing her, the Washington Post said, "Watts changed the original name, One Million Moms for Gun Control, after Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) told Watts that 'gun control' would ostracize people. She consulted with Debbie Weir, then CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, who suggested that Watts establish local chapters, now an essential element of Moms Demand and its national reach."
