It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a movie that’s actually is popular both with the critics and the fans. Coyote vs Acme is one of them. I went to see it with my sons and my priest and amazingly it was even better than the hype.

That they decided it was incapable of making its cost back is a tad of a surprise but $70 million isn’t peanuts.

I have believe that it was held back because the last thing the left wants is people watching old movies and cartoons that bring people back to saner times.


The attempt to spin the Iran war online seems to have intensified. Likely because with a secure corridor for shipping and the continuing pipeline advancements the ability of Iran and their allies to stop oil from flowing is almost nil.

Add to that the phony mines and the strikes to interdict their resupply the only cards they have are talk and social media.

But once that oil reaches the market you will see prices come down & when that happens in October it will be bad news for the left and even worse for the Democrats.

But yeah believe the online folks who claim that Trump is a fool.


Canada’s decision to cover for China’s attempt to dump steel into the US through them speaks a lot to what the Canadian left has done to the country.

Personally I think it’s less about China protecting their steel exports then it is the hope that this hurts the GOP in the midterms.

Iran, Canada, Russia, China and the Democrats would all like to see the midterms go bad for Trump.

They know where their bread is buttered.


Apparently Trump has made a deal with Venezuela that will be refilling our strategic oil reserve as a “gift” to our country.

This is another blow to the “Trump is an idiot” , “Trump is a failure”, “Trump doesn’t know what’s he’s doing” narrative, but more importantly it puts the US in the single best position in the west with full tanks at a time when others energy supplies are failing.

All of this without a giant hit on our treasury. How much winning can one president manage?


Finally the reaction to the death of Dolly Parton has been a huge surprise to me. Not that people have celebrated her, but that it has been universal and international. People who have been pushing the most vile murderous ideologies have nevertheless recognized her goodness and her actions on behalf of her fellow man which was practiced without favoritism.

It was so universal that her unwillingness to attack her own people, a people despised by the elites everywhere, were not enough to bring down their opinion of her.

It would not surprise me if some of those in media complementing her don’t mean it, but they’re smart enough to know there is no percentage in trying to play those cards.

Dolly as a villain just isn’t sellable, at least not at this time.

“That was the genius of using Hogan’s office, said Marya, “Neither the allies nor Gestapo would search there.”

Rolfe rose: “Your honor the defense requires time to review these documents.”

“Granted, due to the sensitive nature of this evidence the court will recess here & all parties will remain on site while these documents are reviewed.

“Your honor”, A Russian man rose “We wish to remove this witness to our embasy.”

“Denied, onsite guest rooms should suffice, this is a prison camp, she’s not going anywhere.”

The muffled laughs of Stalag 13’s men were almost audible.

Today’s book quote tackles a fact that people 100 & 500 & 700 years ago knew but has recently been re-written by those who wish the west to fail.

The huge response to [Pope Blessed] Urban’s [II] call at the council of Clermont is even more amazing when considering the cost to go on Crusade—for a knight, four to five times his annual income. Although some modern critics assert that the Crusades were focused on the accumulation of wealth, the historical record shows that the vast majority of those who took the cross suffered financial hardship as result. The certainly did not profit from it. In order to finance such an expensive undertaking many knights and their extended family sold or mortgaged their land and possessions. (emphasis mine)

The Glory of the Crusades Steve Weidenkopf 2014 page 43

I have seen the history of the crusades re-written during my lifetime and it’s always been a bit of a shock how fast the generation who thought they knew better than their parents decided to play games with history to justify their rejection of the heroes who kept violent Islam at bay.

It’s no coincidence that those same times are now allying with said Islam in order to secure political power that their numbers can’t justify.

As she entred the courtroom she immediately caught the eye of her short one in the gallery. Still adorable & smiling at the sight of her.

She sauntered in ignoring the stares as she was sworn, the prosecutor began

Klink looked worried but the slight grin on Hogan’s face spoke volumes. He now had home field advantage.
