Permanent Interests
As Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, said in 1848- “We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies.

That Time We Were Right To Murder All Those Teenage Girls In A Lake
OK, just for the record all but one died by hanging (plus 5 in prison) and 6 of them were men and many of the women, no offense intended, were not teenagers though some accusers were. Also Salem no longer exists except as a neighborhood of the town of Danvers, Massachusetts where they have a …

I’ve been reading a lot of garbage about why Melania is out of the spotlight recently, ranging from Pod Person Conspiracy Theories to speculation that she’s being held in a 50 Shades of Gray sex dungeon in the old White House Bowling Alley. The truth is likely more mundane and tragic than that. She’s probably …

Reality Bias
Samantha Bee is angry that Trump’s DHS is snatching babies from their mothers and losing them. Roseanne Barr is angry that Valerie Jarett is Black. See the difference? Obama was a horrible President. Speaking of Roseanne. Gotta watch out for that Ambien. Back to stealing babies Surrey With The Fringe On Top War On Music

European Union Dominos
Even the biggest United States of Europe proponent has to admit that the only people who are happy with the current direction in Brussels are German Bankers. Merkel barely survived re-election due to German popular disdain for EU Immigration policy (which I happen to support mind you except I don’t think it goes far enough). …
