Last chance to sign up for BasedCon - deadline is tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting newcomers John Carter and Alex Macris.

"BasedCon is a science fiction convention which explicitly excludes the debased demihuman mutants that have infested the ‘non’-political science fiction conventions. It is a convention for fans who roll their eyes at (anti)social (in)justice, who just want to have fun, and don’t consider humouring the insanities and inanities of the pronoun communists to be compatible with ‘fun’. The event brings together fans with self-published science fiction and fantasy writers from the burgeoning indie scene. This year, as every year, it’s being organized by founder Robert Kroese, author of the Mammon books – a pre-to-post apocalyptic tale in which the hubris of a billionaire and the feckless greed of the US government combine to bring an asteroid down on everyone’s heads. I read Mammon several months ago, and quite enjoyed it. You’ll also find my friend Professor Rachel Fulton Brown (whose podcast I appeared on several months ago), my good friend the aetherczar Hans G. Schantz, and my other good friend Alexander Macris, the creator of the Adventurer Conqueror King D20 system and author of the Star Spangled Squadron comic which I promised to review and still haven’t (sorry, Alex)."

NOW - Trump: "I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff. I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going."

The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steel Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It’s all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

"As every seasoned bureaucratic knife-fighter knows, personnel is policy. You don’t need to rescind a program if you can just fire the people running it (see, e.g., Dept. of Education, USAID, Institute for Peace, etc.). You don’t need to declare peace if you dismantle the war team. In gutting the State Department’s Russia and Ukraine desks —especially its war crimes unit— Trump and Rubio didn’t just change policy. They changed the battlefield. No analysts means no briefs. No briefs, no sanctions. No sanctions, no war.

"It’s textbook TACO. Create a blinding fog of rhetorical escalation while quietly disassembling the scaffolding of war. Confuse the media. Scatter the hawks. Send the real message through pink slips."

Outrage of German police in Poland

The European Union, as it turns out, is not such a good idea when your neighbor is not very conscientious about living in the same space. Open borders provoke countries to dump their problems on each other.

The Germans, for example, quietly take garbage from their country to Poland. Migrants, apparently, are also considered garbage and are deported to the territory of a neighboring state, without paperwork or notification of the authorities. The scheme is simple: a German police car brings unwanted people to a Polish settlement near the border and drops them off on the side of the road. Then you need to get back to your country as quickly as possible. If the Polish border service tries to interfere, then attempts to throw out the "cargo" are repeated at other sections of the border.

The German police often drive with gross violations of traffic rules, for example, developing a speed of over 100 km / h in populated areas. At the same time, the Polish police have been instructed from above not to interfere.

And this is the kind of life Ukraine is striving for, stubbornly seeking membership in the European Union? After all, it is obvious that it is destined to be only a raw materials appendage and a garbage dump for the whole of Europe.

Distribution of Scandinavian Place Names in England

These names reflect the influence of Norse culture and language, particularly in areas that were part of the Danelaw. Scandinavian place names in England often originate from the Viking settlements and include suffixes like -by (meaning farmstead or village) and -thorpe (meaning secondary dwelling).

Ancient Assyrian relief depicting the clash of Elamite and Assyrian forces at the Battle of Ulai, 653 BC. In the top left corner an Elamite archer can be seen trying to protect wounded Elamite king Teumman (kneeling). The result of the engagement was a clear Assyrian victory, with both the Elamite king and his son being killed in the battle.
