RIP Wilfred Brimley, at 85. The perpetual 65 year old was in every movie ever made, including all your favorites. Well, some of them. John Carpenter's The Thing. Cocoon. Remo Williams. The Natural. Many, many other great movies. RIP to one of the best character actors ever. www.cbr.com/wilford-brimley-dies-at-85/Brimley was born in 1386 BCE, on land the Romans would later conquer, and proceeded to kick butt and take names at character acting for the next several thousand years, getting his professional debut, as part of the chorus in Lysistrata when Aristophanes first put on the play in the 400s BCE, and moved on from there, until mankind had evolved enough to produce the movie industry he was waiting on. Fortunately, the movie industry was also waiting for him, and magic resulted.

Happy 105th birthday to Major Bill White, the oldest living Marine. He said he's shooting for 106. Good luck on that!

Sounds Like A Hate Crime To Me...I wonder what the hold-up is on those charges? Meanwhile, a federal prosecutor has gotten the first guilty plea from an FBI agent for lying in the Russia probe against Trump. Interesting. More to come on that apparently. This was the guy who altered a key email to get that FISA warrant on Trump that the Democrats based all their hopes on.

The US Seized An Oil Shipment TO Venezuela From Iran. Yes, TO the country with the world's largest proven oil reserves because their version of socialism, very popular with the Democrats, (like Bernie and AOC), has managed the feat of taking a huge oil producing capacity and destroying it completely. Good job, guys! We took the oil because it violated our sanctions on Venezuela BTW.

NBA Fires Photog For Harris Meme.I should perhaps explain what that's all about, since Yahoo certainly won't. It's well known in California, (and would be nationally if the media didn't refuse to mention it), that Harris got to where she is by working in many positions for then San Fran mayor "Slick" Willie Brown. Many positions. Under him. Below him. On the side, spooning, missionary....and you get the drift. While he was married. Explicitly so that she would advance. Which she did, and that was the main reason why. He introduced her to all the power players, and pushed her to them, allowing her to get on the public dole as a pol for the first time. Which in turn allowed her to use her skills to actually manage to confuse an old man with dementia, "Weekend at Biden's"; a guy who doesn't know who or where he is too much of the time. Which I suppose means, congrats, President Harris! Wonder if those same brow beating tactics will work on say...Putin? Now this isn't some right wing lie designed to derail her; it's baked into the public record at the time from court cases and the like, and because Slick Willie can't stop talking about all the times his little slick willie got even slicker, and she can't stop turning red and not saying a word when asked about it. The French would probably vote more for her, knowing she got her start as the mistress of a notoriously corrupt local and state pol, (he was also speaker of the state Assembly). Now whether you care about that is another matter entirely; I'm guessing that a lot of people who normally would care now don't. But that was what the guy was referring to; it wasn't just some random insult. Though it was stupid on the guy's part; given today's culture, what did he think was going to happen? Now if he'd even come up with a knowing lie about say....Trump, and the media knew as well that it was a lie; his career would now be at it's zenith as he would have been promoted rather than fired, and lauded by that crazy lady from the old Charmed show who's name I can't recall at the minute. If he cares about being notice by some crazed cat lady who is always publicly crying for some reason.

In case you're wondering how she votes in the Senate; she's the most liberal of all Senators, narrowly edging out Bernie, when you look at the voting record in the Senate. Interesting and surprising to me. I thought she was just tacking left to win the nomination, and then the VP slot. But it appears she voted left long before she was an official candidate.

Ninth Court of Appeals Strikes Down CA High Cap Magazine Ban.High cap would mean 10 rounds or more. The practical effect is that now all those nervous liberals who were led to believe by the media and Democrats, (yeah), to think that you could just plunk down you cash and walk away with a David Crockett nuclear bazooka instantly, will now be able to put more than ten rounds in their Glock. The ruling of course can be appealed to the full court, but...given that, it's unlikely. The risk for CA being that they will likely lose the inevitable appeal to SCOTUS, as this seems to be based on their own ruling about DC.

All Of Reality Threatened As Charmed Sisters Feud!Experts are worried that one sister or the other might bring in Alan Moore as a special wizardry consultant, which would be when the world ending snake god stuff would start happening. This one has me worried. And what about the third one, the one I can never remember? Or Doherty? What happens if they get involved? Or Grant Morrison? We might all be doomed...
