HUBRIS UNCHAINED: That flight FBI Director Christopher Wray told Senators he had to catch was for a vacation in the Adirondacks -- on his taxpayer-funded Gulfstream 550 private jet.

Nemesis awaits....

NOVEMBER 8 2022: the Dark Brandon rises.

TWO MONTHS IN and nary a hurricane....

But plenty of rain hereabouts, which is wreaking havoc on my plan to establish a lawn.

It feels like half my yard has been washed into the street...

THE PERFECT RESPONSE to 'woke' critics of 'The Terminal List'.

I haven't watched it yet, but it's now on the schedule.

SEEN ON TWITTER:

For Attorney General Merrick Garland....

BIDEN'S WEAPONIZED FEDS are getting creepier.

Everything that the Democrats are doing is rooted in a hatred of the United States Constitution. At least all the parts of it that don’t have to do with collecting taxes.

These kinds of things are precisely what right-wing nutjobs like me are warning against when we caution the Republicans to not give in to the Democrats on any issue. All of it aids and abets the progressive plunge into the toilet.

Let’s just hope there’s still enough of the Republic to save by the time 2024 gets here.

Latest case in point: Mar-a-Lago.

MERRICK GARLAND is a petty, vindictive, little man weasel.

Apologies to the furry ones....

WHAT'S SAD IS THAT THEY'RE TOO STUPID TO NOTICE THEIR OWN HYPOCRISY: Did you notice what was behind an activist who is against Texas busing migrants to NYC?

ANOTHER PROFESSOR: Texas school choice measure passed because GOP voters aren’t very bright. (Hint: they're still brighter than she is.)

As I asked in an earlier post, "How stupid do you have to be to become a university professor?"

CLIMATE CHANGE ALERT!: Tonga's volcanic eruption sent so much water into stratosphere it could warm the Earth.

Or maybe it'll just rain.

WELL, NOW YOU KNOW WHERE THEIR REALITY IS. Every Senate Democrat votes against defining pregnancy as unique to biological females.

They were very clever in closing all the mental hospitals before coming out as nuts....

HEH. Dork, er, Dark Brandon.

BELOVED NEW YORK CITY BODEGA CAT returned to owners after he was allegedly stolen.

This is both a heartwarming story (because the cat was returned unharmed) and an indictment of government malfeasance (because it's not the cat's job to keep the city free of rodents).

THE LOS ANGELES TIMES urges President Biden to use his executive powers to declare a 'national climate emergency'.

The [climate change] threat now is so dire that we need Biden to deliver on his pledge. That means using every executive and administrative power legally available to him to protect Americans from climate-fueled disasters, boost renewable energy and shift away from fossil fuels.

And because declaring a national emergency would unlock additional tools and resources, he should do it,

Having digested that bit of pompous narcissism, ask yourself "How many Los Angeles Times executives, editorial staff, and other employees drive gasoline-powered vehicles to work?"

DISINFORMATION? SERIOUSLY? 'Experts' worry monkeypox disinformation will harm LGBTQ+ community. Since when is it 'disinformation' to report that monkeypox is a disease "afflicting mostly men who have sex with men."

I would say that it's disinformation (i.e., a lie) not to tell that tiny 3% or so of the population that they are at high risk of getting the disease and even more disinformation (i.e., a bigger lie) not to tell that much larger 97% or so of the population that they're at very low risk.

What these 'experts' and their political handlers are really worried about is that they won't be able to use monkeypox to lock down the U.S. prior to the midterm elections.

WELL, THEY'RE FINALLY CATCHING UP TO ME: U.S. drivers are seriously starting to sour on autonomous vehicles.

I'M WITH FREEDOM CAUCUS REP. LAUREN BOEBERT [R-CO] ON THIS ONE:

I wish I could tell you that I had full faith in GOP leadership in both the House and Senate to defund the deep state and to hold the Biden regime accountable. But I don’t. I’ve been disappointed too many times.

She's right.

MY FAVORITE from PowerLine's your lying eyes edition of its Week in Pictures:

Now go see the rest.

YOU EXPECTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT? Gina McCarthy, the Biden administration’s National Climate Advisor, is openly calling on technology companies like Facebook and Twitter to censor any dissent from the administration’s green fantasies.

You little people can't handle any dissent from our truth....

ISN'T THAT THE IDEA? 'Professors' argue that the merit system is unjust because it rewards productive individuals.

How stupid do you have to be to become a university professor?
