Getting a little sporty out there, innit?

So it this our Fort Sumter moment? I don't think so. I don't think anything is going to happen. But a resurgence of the 10th Amendment would be nice. I did notice one small error Ace made earlier. He said it was 25 states. Nuh-uh.

It's 25 states supporting Texas. That's 26 states, also known as, as I like to point out to those always screeching about “Muh Democracy!”, a majority. Also, the red is contiguous, but we really need KS, KY and NC. Then we could let those eastern and western bastards freeze in the dark.

Walking The RAZOR's Edge

Georgia Congressman Announces RAZOR Act to Support Texas' Right to Defend Its Border

Another elected official from the Peach State is expressing his support for Texas in the form of legislation in the House. Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.), who I'm proud to say is my congressman, announced legislation that he will sponsor that aims to make sure the feds don't mess with Texas.

"Representative Mike Collins (R-Ga.) announced that he will introduce the Restricting Administration Zealots from Obliging Raiders (RAZOR) Act," reads a press release from Colins' office. "The legislation would ban the federal government, including the U.S. Border Patrol, from removing or otherwise altering any state-constructed barriers installed to mitigate illegal immigration."

Nice idea. Biden will never sign it, even if it did pass, but things like this are important to frame the debate.

The tallest building in the United States will be built in a city you've probably never been to

Plans to build the tallest skyscraper in the United States are shaping up in an unlikely metropolis: XXXXX.

Developers at a real estate company are adjusting the already ambitious plans to construct the Boardwalk at Bricktown tower by a few hundred feet to make the building reach 1,907 feet high — which would make it the tallest in the country

Go on, guess the city. Then click through to see if you're right.

Fusion Cuisine

This is what I made for dinner tonight:

It was downright delicious. So what adventures in cooking have you had lately? Anyone make anything out of the ordinary that you'd like to brag (or curse) about?

Because why the fuck not?

A Smart Military Blog

Varyag degrees of success

Enjoy the tale of a hapless Russian cruiser.

Growing up in the Anglosphere, it’s easy to assume that celebrating futile and needless defeat is a peculiarly British characteristic. After all, in the national imagination Dunkirk was a noble victory. Robert Falcon Scott was the bravest little ice cube in Antarctica. The commissioning of Mrs Brown’s Boys the cultural highlight of- well, okay. There are limits.

For embracing sheer unrelenting misery as a national characteristic, however, one nation stands supreme: Russia. They’d love Mrs Brown’s Boys. They might even think of it as a comedy…

And nothing, perhaps, captures this tendency quite as well as the story of the protected cruiser Varyag. Who could resist a rousing patriotic battlesong that says – loosely – “we’re all screwed”. Or in the slightly longer translation –

Get up, you comrades, everyone to his place, the final parade is at hand.
Our proud “Varyag” will not surrender to the enemy. No one wants mercy.

I dunno about you, but if I were aboard Varyag I’d have a few questions there. Run me past that “mercy” bit again, could you? I’m sure we could take just a little bit of mercy? Just a taste? No? Suit yourself – I’ll be in the lifeboat.

Appeasing The Football Gods

5 weeks ago, a Buffalo fan fell into a pit where their new stadium is being built and the Bills won. The fans have thrown someone in the pit each week since

I have a source (Dr. Jerome Silberman) inside the ECMC Emergency Room that has informed me that, despite no reports shared by local media, they have seen a patient that has fallen into the pit on EVERY SINGLE GAMEDAY since the start of the Bills 5 game win streak.

Their luck ran out last week when the Bills lost to the Chiefs. Maybe next year they should try a volcano.

Oh, No, Canada

Child Euthanasia without Parent Approval Pushed for Canada

If, however, a capable [legally underage] patient explicitly indicates that they do not want their family members involved in their decision-making, although healthcare providers may encourage the patient to reconsider and involve their family, ultimately the wishes of capable patients with respect to confidentiality must be respected. If we regard MAID as practically and ethically equivalent to other medical decisions that result in the end of life, then confidentiality regarding MAID should be managed in this same way.

In order to protect staff members from potential violence and social harassment, we will not make public the names of the healthcare providers at The Hospital for Sick Children who have volunteered to provide MAID, nor will we disclose a full list of persons who comprised our working group.
We will, however, as an institution, publicly discuss the provision of MAID in an effort to normalise this procedure and reduce social stigma for everyone involved. It is right and appropriate for this duty to fall to a well-resourced institution rather than rest on the shoulders of individual patients and providers.

And remember, “depression” is one of the conditions for which they are allowed to kill you. So 16 year old Tommy gets dumped by his gf, he can go off to the...I don't want to say hospital, lets call it the MAID service, and get his shot. Boom boom, out go the lights. These people are sick.
