[Mount Gilbert du Motier]

That mountain is 5,249 feet high, and it is so short in comparison to the mountains of the western United States that I can't even find it on a ranking list! It's a great hike during the summer, but since it is in the White Mountains, which is smack dab in the middle of weather that originates in Northern Canada, it can be miserable and dangerous any other time of the year.

Interestingly, the top of the mountain is in an Alpine Zone, which means the weather is so crappy that only small plants grow. No trees!

And for you layabouts and slugabeds, unlike Mount Washington, there is no road, so you will have to get off the couch and walk! But it is worth it...the views are wonderful, especially if you like fog and low clouds. Yeah; I would wait for good weather before climbing it.

This is from the mostly wonderful Daniel Greenfield. And even he doesn't get the whole picture! These so-called "Afghan allies" of ours when we were in that 3rd-World Sh*thole country weren't doing it out of some desire to assist America, or to bring enlightened Jeffersonian democracy to Afghanistan.

They assisted American armed forces because we were the power in the country, and they knew that aligning themselves with America would allow them to conduct their own vendettas under our shield. These people are tribal, and have no sense of patriotism. They are loyal to family, clan, tribe...and nothing else.

They are also savages with no respect for human life. That they are murderers in the Western sense isn't just unsurprising, it should be expected!

Afghan Refugees Killed 55 People, Wounded 92 in U.S.

The whole idea of leaving Afghanistan was that Afghans would no longer be able to kill Americans. But Biden’s disastrous Operation Allies Welcome program turned the problem on its head by bringing 100,000 Afghans to America. The previous distribution of visas to Afghan 'allies' handed out over 50,000 SIV visas to supposed allies. Those unwise moves brought Afghan terror to America. And now our soldiers are fighting Afghans in the streets of D.C.

Instead of leaving Afghanistan, we imported it to America, now it's time to deport it back.

This is the existential fight, and America isn't even aware that it is in a battle!

Every bit of the culture these people brought to America is antithetical to everything that America is based upon, and everything that we have created over the last 250 years. There is no way to find some common ground with them, because they are a binary society...it is them or us!

Okay, maybe I am on a bit of a Steve Earle kick, but I think he is a solid musician and singer.

Oh, what the hell, let's stick to the very general genre of country! Or Country Rock.

Merle Haggard: Mamma Tried

Patsy Cline: Crazy

Little Feat: Two Trains

And what kind of music is Hootie And The Blowfish? Blues Rock...I guess. But they are distinctive, and almost always worth a listen.
