“Oct–” means “eight,” so October is naturally the tenth month.
If we can’t get easy things like that right — and keep Pluto as a planet — what hope do we have with the hard things?
Quote of the Day
I got some news for y’all, the Dems got their best endorsement to date. The IRGC.
”There isn’t anything to read between the lines here. The people who refer to the United States as the “Great Satan” and have vowed to destroy us would feel more comfortable with Charles Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries in charge of Congress. We don’t have many dots to connect in this one. President Trump and the America he believes in are existential threats to the Iranian psychopaths. A weakened Executive branch and a Congress controlled by Democrats are no threat whatsoever to the Iranian mullahs who have been fomenting and funding terrorism since the Carter years. Someone please explain “undecided” voters to me again. ” ~~ Stephen Kruiser

Quote of the Day
White after Labor Day? I’m such a rebel.
“Ireland as a country has been something of a recent disappointment. For a people who fought for so long and bravely to have their own country, they seem content to be ruled by an elite hell-bent on cultural self-erasure. Mass immigration, erosion of free speech rights, an acceptance of a Woke that would make a New England college town council proud. For a nation that was occupied by a colonial power for centuries, it chooses to spend less than 0.5% of its GDP on defense, implicitly free-riding on NATO and its former colonial overlord. Not a serious place. Yet it can virtue-signal with the best of them and it has come firmly on the side of those waging a genocidal war in Gaza – and by that I mean Hamas.” ~~ Chicago Boyz

Well let’s see what we have to amuse you today, shall we?
“What does worry me, though, is that the Democrats are not unlike an unhinged, cornered rabid animal these days. Because it’s now a party dominated by coastal elites, there is also an almost feral quality when Dem politicians are out in normal America. There is a complete lack of regard for civility and convention that makes them unpredictable and dangerous. ” ~~ Stephen Kruiser

Egyptologists uncover 4,000-year-old tomb of the ‘keeper of the king’s secrets’ – with a mysterious ‘portal to the afterlife’
Daily Mail | 09/26/26 | Xantha LeathamThe discovery was made at the Bubasteion Necropolis in Saqqara, one of Egypt’s most important archaeological sites.
Hieroglyphs reveal the tomb belonged to a senior official named Sakhnetio-Btah, who lived during the time of the Old Kingdom.
You Can’t Spell “Racist” Without “Cis”
Every good Democrat will tell you:
“Cis” means “I yam what I yam,” and if you’re able to choose to be something else but choose not to, you are prejudiced against that something else.
And also:
If you are attracted to someone, that means you are rejecting someone else, which is of course wrong and evil.
How dare you?

It’s true, it’s true!
“Imagine millions of Americans believing the U.S. was not winning the battle with Germany in March of 1945. That’s where we are today vis-a-vis Iran. Incredible. And it’s not for lack of actual facts reported widely. It is the consequence of the mental prison of TDS.” ~~ Hugh Hewitt

NASA wants to see your pictures of the sky.
The Hill | 09/09/2026 | Alix MartichouxStarting on Sept. 15, the space agency’s PACE satellite (which stands for the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem satellite) will circle the Earth every 98 minutes.
Scientists want to compare what they’re seeing in the sky with what you’re seeing on the ground.
Sorry —
I don’t happen to have any decent pictures of plankton, aerosols, clouds, or [“ocean” — such an inept acronym] ecosystems available at the moment to share. Perhaps you could look in my more …. private folders.
Of course, you can always check back in with me in 98 minutes.
Which I know you will.
