Have fun! I’d never heard of this, but ballet is one of the myriad of subjects to which I’ve paid attention not. So to speak.

Because … cheaters wouldn’t think to use the proper paper?

I noticed he tries to cover up by citing everything he’s done, but I notice he doesn’t claim any victories. Anybody can sue if they have brass balls. It doesn’t mean they have any kind of credibility.

And bamboo paper used for election fraud? Really? Come on.

If you like Taiko drumming, this might tickle your fancy.

This is what happens when one side tries to inappropriately define an issue, and the other side is, well, so much better:

Buttigieg is the FOX viewer whisperer.

Buttigieg is the Transportation Secretary, not the Car Secretary. Trying to make him into that just leaves a gaping hole for the Democrat to hit, and hit it he does.

If these 5 Minnesota nurse-anesthetists can pass gas as well as they can sing, I want my next surgery in their hospital.

Regarding the Bryant Lake Bowl video a reader writes:

I have a high-end camera drone and can only imagine the flight skills it took to pull that one-shot off. Impressed.

And it appeared they crashed the drone at the end as well.

What else could it be? Minneapolis’ Bryant Lake Bow drone shot:

Perhaps a little confusing, but still a needle under the nail.

It’s tragic that the Republican Party is expected to give President Trump yet another mulligan rather than punish President Trump, even the feeble punishment of banning him from public office – as if he’d ever win another election.

Another indictment of toxic team politics.

Sometimes, when someone has balls of brass, it’s necessary to grab each one and clang them together until they break and the owner is sobbing. Here’s Rep Jeffries (D-NY) doing just that to new member of the House Rep Burgess Owens (R-UT):

This is 🔥 🔥 🔥. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) drags Utah’s new Trump-supporting Black Republican (@BurgessOwens) for coming in on his first day and lecturing Democrats about patriotism when Owens voted to overturn the November election even after the Capitol insurrection. pic.twitter.com/mJ7cUJ0RSH

Quite right. Voting to undo the votes of literally millions of Americans because of your allegiance to President Trump, purveyor of utterly baseless allegations concerning the election he lost, rather than an allegiance to the Constitution, doesn’t make one patriotic. Instead, it puts your worthiness to serve into question. An inability to understand that your allegiance is to the Constitution, rather than a Party leader, makes your presence in Congress questionable.

And your future performance is unlikely to be impressive.

Do you need to exercise your pet fruit flies? Here’s how:

In connection with my ailing Arts Editor, a friend met the challenge when I suggested dancing to ancient polyphonic music might be difficult with this video:

Thanks, LDC! It was fascinating!

Beau speaks as a conduit of understanding, and it’s worth a listen.

For the record, I would at least be interested in his explication of one claim, but I won’t mention it here – no spoilers.

Apparently, Fox News threw a tiz fit.

Randy Rainbow gives Trump a delightful sendoff:

Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) compares Kristallnacht to the attempted Insurrection of Wednesday:

My message to my fellow Americans and friends around the world following this week's attack on the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/blOy35LWJ5

— Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) January 10, 2021

This Republican carries a certain gravitas as he speaks the truth and draws historical parallels with one of the most shameful, if inevitable, events of the 1930s. This American immigrant, who has his own mother culture that taught him lessons about the terrible effect the lies that led to Kristallnacht had on the generation previous to his, is powerful and condemnatory of such dead-enders as Senators Cruz, Hawley, Hyde-Smith, and other members of the ‘Sedition Caucus,’ not to mention the ultimate failed person, President Trump.

Bravo, Governor Schwarzenegger!
