Re: Lies that liberals tell

From lib's post: A New DNA Test Can ID a Suspect's Race, But Police Won't Touch It and DNAWitness has been used nationally in nearly 200 criminal investigations. Seems to me the police are doing some touching. And the Henry Louis Gates series 'Finding Your Roots' is now in Series 10. They use DNA te...

Re: Oh the who?manity

Yes I did miss the DM "Straight outta Compton' headline but my point is that this sort of opinion was not widespread and as I said "My recollection is that the majority of the UK press treated her as a breath of fresh air." I should probably have added 'much-needed' before 'breath' in that sentence....

Hilarious - Tucker Carlson pranked

The Guardian and Mother Jones (links below) are reporting that two jolly japers fooled Mr Carlson into believing that they worked at KP (Kensington Palace) and had been fired for making a hash of editing Kate's innocent snap of the kids. In order to convince that august 'reporter' of their provenanc...

BSG gave us: In any case I don’t see Meghan as any more useless and stupid than the thousands of other celebrities and influencers, and I tend to have a fair bit more compassion for her because the savage racist element in the UK has really vilified her to no end - including more than a few who run ...

Re: Fani Willis can continue

It's worth reading the judge's opinion. I found this to be odd. (From page 17 of the decision.) Forensic Misconduct The Georgia Supreme Court also recognizes forensic misconduct, or improper comment, by the State as grounds for disqualification. One example of such forensic misconduct is "expression...

Fani Willis can continue

So the judge has ruled that Ms Willis can continue as lead prosecutor but her 'former romantic partner' Nathan Wade has to withdraw. (There's a joke there but I will let someone else do it.) Assuming that Ms Willis and Mr Wade did not, in fact, abuse public funds, this seems like an odd decision to ...

Re: Watching SOTU

I have no clue what those last four posts are about.

In other news, it's possible that Tommy Tuberville is now celebrating the fact that he is no longer the dumbest senator from Alabama. But I'm not worried, I think he'll take back his crown soon enough. Just give him time, it'll happen.

Re: The Oscars

The only Oscar pics I saw this year - both on line streaming - were Oppenheimer and The Holdovers. Both were good - a friend recommended The Holdovers to me and Da'Vine Joy Randolph who won 'Best Supporting Actress' did an excellent job. I have long been interested in the Manhattan Project so I watc...

Re: Navalny. Just sayin'

Yes, life is complicated. Navalny years ago was most famous for being part of the anti-immigration movement in Russia - maybe MRGA in a red hat - but he is yet another example of two wrongs not making a right. Just as I am capable at the same time of saying Hamas' action on Oct 7 were reprehensible ...

Katie Britt giving the response from her kitchen - the message was either "I can't be bothered to move my ass somewhere more appropriate" or "this is where I believe a woman's place to be, first, last and always."

Re: Watching SOTU

I'm financially better off than I was three years ago. I'm on SS which has gone up more or less with inflation. Gas is a very small part of my budget so it could double and I really would not care. My IRA rises pretty much with the stock market so it's doing well, thanks. I absolutely recognize that...

Re: Watching SOTU

I'm watching the Republican response. Apparently the Mexican coyotes rape their victims. Yes, and I am not denying that and the horror of it. But exactly how does Biden's border policy (thwarted of course by Trump) affect that. And 'prices are through the roof' - yes there has been inflation but for...

Still looking good. I think he has the right balance talking about Gaza. Even Mike Johnson stood up and clapped, instead of just looking as if he wishes he were not there.

He's right about insulin. One of my heroes when I was young and growing up in Canada, was Frederick Banting the Canadian doctor who discovered the link between diabetes and insulin.

Re: Watching SOTU

Biden is looking good. 30 minutes in he's had a couple of slight verbal misses but that's the way he has been for the last 40 years. Someone just shouted 'Liar!' or what sounded like it. I expect we will hear about it later.

Edited to correct a typo.

Re: Watching SOTU

CNN have a slight disconnect of sound and picture. I'm guessing the picture is 0.1 seconds ahead of the sound. I don't know if that is CNN's fault or whether they have some joint feed.
