Quote of the Day

 

I’ve got nothing to hide, or maybe I do.

 

“The embrace of socialism — an extremist ideology — among mainstream Democrats both in office and in the electorate is the logical extension of Democrats’ policies. As I’ve previously written, the DSA isn’t necessarily inventing any new ideas or positions. They’re merely taking positions already embraced by much of the Democrat Party and just following them through to their logical conclusion. ” ~~ Brianna Lyman

 

An Abusive Relationship, Wasn’t It?

Germany’s Merz says US friendship since war ‘probably over’ for now
The Straits Times | Sep 18, 2026

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the era of “unconditional” ties between the US and Europe built since World War II are over, at least for now, the latest pronouncement of a breakdown in relations under US President Donald Trump’s presidency.

“This era of unconditional transatlantic friendship is probably over for the foreseeable future,” Merz told party members in Berlin on Sept 17. “On the other side of the Atlantic, we are seeing a change in political attitudes, a change in the assessment of the transatlantic alliance, which we might not have thought possible.”

 

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

 

To go back a few days, “Kaiser ah, Sera!”

Quote of the Day

 

We good looking girls got it rough these days.

 

“First, it’s her body, her choice. It’s not like the Euphoria star had a gun to her head to do the ad. She has the goods, flaunts them, and, given her reaction to the faux backlash over the jeans ad, couldn’t give two $%^s about what anyone else says. She got paid again, you clowns. And you cannot cancel her, so whine all you want. You’ve already lost, so shut your holes and guzzle another 5 liters of white wine.” ~~ Matt Vespa

An agent of the CIA, James Bond, meets Paloma at the El Nido Bar after agreeing to Felix Leiter‘s request to go there in order to retrieve the scientist Valdo Obruchev, who has been captured by SPECTRE from a MI6 laboratory. To Bond’s bemusement, Paloma tells him that she has had only three weeks of training, though she nevertheless seems confident in her skills. She works together with Bond to infiltrate the party which is being held in the bar, though it turns out to secretly be a trap to capture and kill Bond. Bond ends up in a spotlight and sprayed with nanobots created from Project Heracles, though it ultimately transpires that Obruchev reprogrammed the nanobots to kill members of SPECTRE instead. In the ensuing chaos, Bond and Paloma manage to capture Obruchev, evading Nomi, an MI6 agent who had been sent with the same objective.

Quote of the Day

 

 

They blinded me with science.

 

“First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is—if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.” ~~ Richard Feynman
