International Talk like a Pirate Day! Annual repost.

Posted on September 19, 2023 by On the North River

On Sept 19th it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers, of Albany, Oregon, U.S., who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate.Wikipedia

The iconic word, Arrrr, turns out to be a West Country UK word for yes. It was popularized in the 1934 movie version of Treasure Island. With a parrot upon his shoulder, crying pieces of eight, and a peg leg, Beery brought to life the iconic imagery of Robert Louis Stevenson.

Though I wonder if it would be more popular as “Dress like a Pirate Day!”…

This most years I really think we could all use an excuse to forget this grim modern world for a day and have a little fun.

Arggg!

The Marines Need Help Finding a Lost Stealth Fighter and Nobody Can Stop Laughing

Those F-35 stealth fighters must be even closer to invisible than I thought because the Marines lost one on Sunday and nobody can find it.

A Marine piloting the special vertical takeoff and landing version, the F-35B, suffered some kind of “mishap” and was forced to eject over South Carolina. He ejected safely. He’s fine. We can go on and laugh. The plane, however, was nowhere to be found. Weighing in at over 32,000 pounds even when it isn’t filled with jet fuel, you’d think the missing jet would be easy to find, but no.

So whoever runs the social media for Joint Base Charleston took to Twitter to ask for help finding the super-invisible stealth fighter.

This, of course, is when Twitter lept into action as only Twitter can.

Have you tried walking through the parking lot pressing the remote over and over?

Others know an easy buck when they see one.

“When you ask Twitter if anyone has seen your missing fighter jet, are you expecting anything other than snarky answers?”

Maybe somewhere on Twitter, there’s one really earnest guy, walking around his backyard, looking for an F-35, just in case.

He gave it his best shot. Even looked in the shed, just in case. But then he had to tweet back to @TeamCharleston, “Sorry, no. What color was it?”

Since the jet was left on Autopilot it could have traveled an enormous distance before it ran out of fuel.

Wait a minute!   I’ll check the back yard…

Another possible Kennedy assassination attempt.

Posted on September 16, 2023 by On the North River

BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Assassination Scare | Heavily Armed Man Detained

A heavily armed man who posed as RFK’s security was arrested at a campaign rally.

This comes after RFK’s unsuccessful requests for Secret Service protection since declaring candidacy in April: “I am the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection.” “I’m still entertaining a hope that President Biden will allow me Secret Service protection.”

Both RFK’s father and uncle were assassinated, so this attempt is severely distressing for the Kennedy family.

STATEMENTS BY RFK: –

“The man, wearing two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines was carrying a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID.”

– “He identified himself as a member of my security detail.”

– “Armed GDBA (Private Corporate Security) team members moved quickly to isolate and detain the man until LAPD arrived to make the arrest.”

Update: As David pointed out in the comments, this location is scary close to the site where RKF Jr. father was assassinated.

I’d expect the same from anyone I’d give my vote to.

Trump says he would pardon ‘a large portion’ of those involved in Jan. 6 attack on U.S. Capitol

Former U.S. president Donald Trump said he would pardon “a large portion” of the people involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in a CNN town hall on Wednesday night.

Scott Adams talked at length about this today.  In full, President Trump said he would establish commissions to look into the arrests and prosecutions of all the Jan 6th protestors.  But he would issue pardons on Day One if elected.

New Study Detects Spike Protein 6 Months After COVID-19 Vaccination

A study in Proteomics Clinical Applications found spike protein in individuals six months after vaccination, challenging claims mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines break down…

Spike Protein From mRNA Differs from Post-Infection Spike Protein

According to the study, spike proteins originating from the translation of mRNA vaccines differ from natural spike proteins that circulate in biological fluids post-infection because two proline amino acids replaced the amino acids lysine and valine to help stabilize the synthetic spike generated by vaccination. This double amino acid variation removed a tryptic digestion site (a necessary part of protein absorption) on the natural spike protein. Because of this, researchers said it is possible to differentiate between natural and synthetic spike protein in biological fluids using tryptic digestion followed by mass spectrometry analysis.

Cali Crazy.

This is Communism.
@ProudElephantUS
California Democrats have proposed Bill 553, which makes it ILLEGAL to confront or fight back against looters, burglars and shoplifters. You’ll be fined nearly $20K if you attempt to stop these crimes. It puts every business at the mercy of criminals. This is totally INSANE!

RFK Jr. Telegraphs Threat to Vacate Democrat Party Plantation

The Democrat Party has a latent disaster on its hand vis a vis one RFK Jr.

On the one hand, they are fully dedicated to sabotaging his campaign. Under no circumstances whatsoever will he be permitted to win the nomination.  Even if he had 80%+ support from the electorate, the sick truth is that party leadership (influenced by the consultant and donor classes) would rather lose with Brandon than win with RFK Jr. because of what he’s liable to do to the Deep State and D.C. largesse were he ever to assume office. It would be a proverbial bloodbath for the administrative state and all of the grifters who feed on it.

…

Here is RFK Jr., in an interview with Forbes, explaining what elaborate lengths the Democrat Party has gone to to rig the primary against him, outright threatening that he might drop his intra-party bid and turn his campaign into a third-party run:

 

He gets a few things right and the rest of it wrong.  But I don’t see him getting the campaign funding to run a national campaign. Never-less, he might pull enough votes from Biden to do some good.

If he goes independent I’ll throw some money his way.  Then buy popcorn and watch with interest.

Putin takes the moral high ground.

Putin: Trump’s legal cases reveal “rottenness” of U.S. politics

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday former President Trump’s legal woes reveal the “rottenness of the American political system” and are politically motivated.

Why it matters: Tuesday marked the first time Putin has publicly commented on Trump’s legal woes since the former president was indicted in Georgia in August.

What he’s saying: “As for the prosecution of Trump, for us what is happening in today’s conditions, in my opinion, is good because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others democracy,” Putin said at the Eastern Economic Forum, per AP.

Nice! The USA gets schooled by Putin.  Well, he would know corruption if anybody would.

Police State

Posted on September 12, 2023 by On the North River

“Police State” is a movie that I never wanted to make, because I never wanted America to get to a point where a movie like this needed to be made.

I feel like the animal that alerts the herd to approaching danger, so we can take precautionary steps before it’s too late.

“Police State” will only be in theaters Monday October 23 and Wednesday October 25th. Tickets are now for sale for these limited time events.

Sincerely,
Dinesh D’Souza
