I’m generally quiet and keep to myself.
I’ll be in the garage.

Don’t stop talking about the mass slaughter of Christians by Islamists in Nigeria.

Evil detests beauty because beauty is proof of a transcendental order, of objective Goodness and Truth.
To attack beauty is to wage war against the possibility of transcendence.
Beauty is a great affront to nihilism. It testifies to that which is greater than the individual, because to create a beautiful thing is to acknowledge that you are answerable to standards higher than your own. Beauty is often called a great evangelist for this reason.
This is why they outright destroy beauty or try to subvert your perception of it by promoting ugliness or triviality. Beauty is neither neutral nor trivial — your ability to discern the beautiful from the ugly is intimately connected to your capacity to recognize the divine.
Dietrich von Hildebrand once declared that "beauty is the archenemy of mediocrity." Why?
Beauty elevates a person toward truth, goodness, and the divine. The antitheses to beauty drag the soul down into nihilism and worship of the self.
Had to put one of our dogs to sleep today. She was having an unusually good day. Made it all the worst. I’ll never not regret it, but I know it’s what was best for her.

Zohran Mamdani's father:
“America is the root of all evil in the world, and it was the inspiration for the Nazis. Hitler learned genocide from Abraham Lincoln.”

And that man's name?
Napoleon Blownaparte.
A cannonball went straight through this breastplate at Waterloo, and through the 23 year old wearing it. I find it harder to look at than any painting of the battle.
It belonged to carabinier François Antoine Fauveau, a butter maker in civilian life.
He was killed on 18 June 1815, and his regiment had only started wearing cuirasses after an 1809 decree.
The cuirass now sits in the Musée de l'Armée in Paris.

We will make sure that it’s legal — at a minimum could be used to leapfrog golf carts in the Villages.

Reminder that when AP math teacher Jaime Escalante showed an ability to actually reliably teach math to his students, as depicted by Edward James Olmos in “Stand And Deliver”, his colleagues and his union drummed him out of his school and the profession for making them look bad

LA, I hate to break it to you, but your chance to vote for common sense came and went back in June.
You’re getting a commie, now.
Don’t try to write in my name on the ballot. I won’t tell you who to vote for, but there aren’t write-ins allowed, so it might actually get your ballot rejected.
I encourage you to still vote. Don’t stay home. You don’t have any choice in the mayor’s race, but you still have a governor to pick and lots of taxes and ballot measures to vote on, including voter ID. Choose wisely.
