Unsolicited Advice for Queen Elizabeth | Barnhardt Harry isn’t Prince Charles’ son. Harry is the son of a guy that Princess Diana was having an affair with, James Hewitt. BEHOLD. This is Ronan Farrow-Frank Sinatra level resemblance:
Fondly do we hope ~ fervently do we pray ~ that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk and until every drop of blood drawn shall be paid by another drawn with the sword as was said three thousand years ago so still it must be said ‘the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.’ From Lincoln’s Second Inaugural
Morgan’s Six DollarsSadly, your “wealth/income inequality” imbroglio doesn’t get any more complicated than this:
Brain dead liberals: We make $3 and Morgan makes $6. This is wealth inequity.
Company: Tell us about it. We want to hire Morgan and we’re ready to offer him $7.
BDL: Clearly we have to raise Morgan’s taxes to make the wealth inequity go away.
Government: How much?
BDL: Well let’s see. We pay on our $3 and Morgan pays @ on his $6. So how about you bump that up to U then he’ll be left with the same amount as us.
Government: Okay! Company, and Morgan, you do what you want because we’re not banning or requiring anything here, we lack the balls to take responsibility for anything. But these are the new rates! We’re representing our constituents, don’t you see.
Company: Yikes! Morgan won’t move his fat ass for 45 cents, but we really have to have him. So now we’re going to offer him $10.
Morgan: Uh…um…okay.
BDL: Morgan is making 10!! We’re still making $3, the disparity is getting worse! Who can we blame for this?

So how fast does something like this go? Not terribly fast, unfortunately. The speed is capped at just 25 mph (40 km/h). That kind of makes sense, though, as I wouldn’t really want to take a high-speed turn in a tricycle this large. In fact, even a 25 mph turn in this thing seems sketchy. Imagine being in the back when this thing goes up on one and a half wheels. That’s nightmare fuel, if you ask me!
The brutal Lebanese Civil War in photographs, 1975-1989 During 15 years of fighting, around 90,000 people lost their lives, according to the most reliable statisticians, Labaki and Abou Rjeily (1994). However, it is possible that the real number exceeds 100,000. Of the 90,000 killed, close to 20,000 are individuals who were kidnapped or disappeared, and who must be assumed dead as they have not been accounted for. Nearly 100,000 were badly injured, and close to a million people, or two-thirds of the Lebanese population, experienced displacement.

The original wing walkers who defied death, 1920-1980 Among the many aerialists to become popular were Tiny Broderick, Gladys Ingle, Eddie Angel, Virginia Angel, Mayme Carson, Clyde Pangborn, Lillian Boyer, Jack Shack, Al Wilson, Fronty Nichols, Spider Matlock, Gladys Roy, Ivan Unger, Jessie Woods, Bonnie Rowe, Charles Lindbergh, and Mabel Cody. Eight wing walkers died in a relatively short period during the infancy of wing walking.

Biden and the Nuclear Codes Saving the world from nuclear misadventure is probably easier and more eye-catching than addressing the more modern challenges of anonymous proxy wars or ambiguous attacks. That is much harder to solve. The legislators can work on fixing the rules of nuclear engagement while Joe Biden gets to figure out whether Iran is friend or foe and if the Chinese Communist Party is a partner or a threat.
And that brings us to our friends, the liberals. They are surreal and they have managed to create factional infighting in their opposition, just by being themselves. Why do we even call liberals liberals, when they don’t love liberty — far from it — and when Donald Trump introduces change, they resist the change by any & all means necessary? Have they been supplanted by a usurping agent? Or were they seduced into something? Were they seduced out of something? Did it happen all at once, or in stages? — House of Eratosthenes

This History of Google Algorithm Updates goes all the way back to 2003. We hate algorithms. Over the years there have been a couple of big, inexplicable dents in things mag’s traffic which can only be put down to the way search engines sift and rank the data they’re presented with. We’ve never been ones for things like tags, keywords and hashtags, and it’s a strong suspicion that ‘blind item’ linking – which has been a hallmark of this site’s playful approach to the web since day one – is both hopelessly antiquated and also very bad practice. Must do better.
Barbi Benton’s Colorado home is filled with delicious disco deco To get to Benton’s place you have to drive past the serried ranks of private jets at the airport and, after very careful questioning, through a manned checkpoint. You are instructed to turn past Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia’s $135 million spread and head on up the hill to a 40-acre lot near the top of the most desirably pocket of real estate in the most desirable resort in North America. The Copper Place, as Prince christened it, seems to be a part of this extravagantly opulent countryside and at the same time divorced from it, its four cantilevered copper pods seeming almost to be slipping down the hillside.

Earth at a Cute Angle. Satellite imagery surrounds us We’re used to seeing things from the side. Walking around at ground level, standing on a mountaintop, or even gazing out an airplane window, we’re never looking straight down. Our everyday perspective is more like this view of San Francisco from Maxar’s Worldview-3 satellite. Although not the most common type of imagery from orbit, these oblique views (also known as off-nadir views) connect our own lifetime of experiences with the unfamiliar view from space.
Hex Factor: Inside the Group Offering $250,000 for Proof of Superpowers In the years from 2015 to 2018, when the survey specifically inquired about paranormal phenomena, the percentage of respondents who professed belief in everything from haunted houses to Bigfoot got bigger every year. For example, in 2015 41.4% of people believed it was possible for a house to be haunted by spirits, 18.1% thought aliens have recently visited Earth, and 11.4% believed Bigfoot was real. By 2018, 57.7% believed in haunted houses, 35.1% in alien landings, and 20.7% in Bigfoot.

Perseverance also made history by taking the first audio recording of sound on Mars. A snippet of noise was made available that includes the sound of 5-mile-per-hour winds blowing through the Martian landscape.(This is distinct from what was released from the InSight lander a couple of years ago, which measured vibrations coming from the Martian ground and converted those signals into audio.)

Vox Popoli: An abject failure It’s bad enough when politicians are cucks. But when monarchs cuck, there is no longer any need for monarchy. Elizabeth II may have reigned longer than any other English monarch, but she is no fear of ever being known as Elizabeth the Great.
Coke Goes Woke and Broke – Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish articles Legal drugs are too expensive for minorities and the infamous soda taxes don’t work. But the soda industry remembers what happened to tobacco and other lifestyle habits that fell afoul of the cultural values of the new woke ruling class. That’s another reason why it went ‘woke’. Banning soda from schools and taxing it in stores precedes the class action lawsuits and national legislative activities that would effectively eliminate sodas from the marketplace. Coke isn’t just virtue signaling to prop up sales in a declining market: it’s also afraid.

Settled Things Strange There’s a new plug-in for Chrome and Firefox called Big Tech Detective that “will alert you if the website you are on is exchanging data with Big Tech by identifying and measuring connections to internet protocol (IP) addresses owned by Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.” If you have any doubts about how much of the so-called “open web” those companies control, an hour or two of using Big Tech Detective will eliminate them.
The Lakeview Gusher: The Mother of Oil Spills | On the morning of March 15, 1910, the Lakeview Number One had reached a depth of 2,225 feet when oil came roaring out of the ground. It blew the crown block off the top of the derrick and shot into the air to a height of 200 feet. The drillers were excited at the sudden windfall of fortune, but soon it became apparent that the well wasn’t going to stop anytime soon. In the initial days, the flow was estimated to around 125,000 barrels a day. Even after thirty days, the flow was still 90,000 barrels a day. The torrents of oil pouring out of the well created a river of crude oil that threatened to flow downhill towards Buena Vista Lake, eight miles away, whose water was used for irrigation. To stop the crude oil from contaminating the lake, workers built berms with sandbags. They also dug catch basins where the crude oil could accumulate.
Introducing the Lilium Jet – Lilium
A person looks at a painting during the Frick Collection’s opening press preview at Frick Madison, the Marcel Breuer building, on March 4, 2021, in New York City.

Lilium jet. Too many parts, too many things to fail. While an aircraft, it requires no wings, or airfoils. 36 engines, redundant redundancy. I still believe it can be done with 2. 1 really, but another 1 for well, redundancy. Being way up in the air with no wings to glide upon, is no place to be when your single powerplant fails. So yeah, 2 engines, each with vertically oriented counter-rotating multi-blade rotors. Able to change direction and bank in a split second, ascend and descend instantly. Retractable and directional deflectors so that you can “land” it in your driveway, roof top, even onto a moving tractor trailer. When I was a kid in the 60’s I thought this stuff would be available in the 70’s. I am constantly disappointed, especially after brief moments of fantasy.
Another good, G.
I remember being in the car with Mom….and a childhood of freedom. I pity this kids today.
If there is anything that I could not care less about it would be the “Royals”. We threw off the yolk of that idiocy over 200 years ago.
Sadly, the youngsters today seem to want to return to the yoke of servitude. It it puzzling to me that the complaint from the SJW crowd is that everything has been “stolen” from them and they have no hope for the future….and then they go and vote for more government ruling class horseshit to further enslave them and limit their future opportunities. Go figure.
I hate algorithms too! I haven’t used Google in a few years. I used duckduckgo for searching. I have no social media, FB, Twitter, etc. So I’m curious to see what is in the big data for me. I will check out the Big Tech Detective later.
Happy Acres is definitely on to something.
I gave up Coke- a- Cola ( I simply wrote coke the first time and well, I didn’t want anyone to get the. wrong impression) for Lent and I am done with them forever after their white-hate program was revealed. Pepsi is no better in the woke politics either. Let them all die.
Lastly, I really like the photo inside the Frick. Light, shadow, subject, contrast, angle…really great.
How does an old fart put together so much goodness everyday?
“Harry isn’t Prince Charles’ son” and etc. It is therefore worth noting that Harry had an impressive military-service record while doing the usual round of military stuff that are typical of princes and high nobility. He served on the actual front line in Afghanistan and was more than a few times in genuine, for-real ground combat. He was serving under a fake name and was withdrawn from front-line service only because a Brit newspaper blew his cover. After that he went to Ft Rucker, Alabama, and got qualified to US Army standards as an Apache attack helicopter pilot.
What a downer to see him so fallen now.
As usual, too too much to comment on. First of all, thank God for Ann Barnhardt; may she go viral with this one.
On another front, the hole in the design for that trike RV is that the wheels are in the wrong corners; there’s a reason that Morgans have the 2 wheels in front. For further investigation, check this out:

I’m afraid that the Harry/Hewitt tale has been thoroughly debunked many times. Easily provable timeline and Hewitt insists that he didn’t even meet Diana until Harry was a toddler. While Harry is a brain dead twit seeming to suffer from Stockholm Syndrome he isn’t a bastard.
“Harry/Hewitt tale has been thoroughly debunked many times.”
Stop the presses. The man that shtupped princess Diana swears he didn’t even meet her, yada, yada, yada. I don’t know about you but if there is anything in life worth lying about it is having shtupped another man’s wife. It isn’t even a “lie” it is a necessity AND a favor for the cucked husband. Yeah I believe him.
I’m a Root Beer & Dr. Pepper fan. Coke is Nokey-Doke.
Re: Coca-Cola – nope here, too, but due to their insistence in using HFC instead of cane sugar in their products. That stuff should be banned. Then, to add insult to injury, it turns out that HFC is now sneaking into the Coca-Cola made in Mexico, which made a big deal about being “just like the original”.
As for the Meghan/Harry debacle: Ann Barnhardt (God bless her) has written much on diabolical narcissism, and its effects. While not about Meghan directly, it’s not too far off.

Yeah, and Castro isn’t Justin Trudeau’s father, either. There’s another Farrow-Sinatra level resemblance, makes ya wonder. Keurig Dr. Pepper Group brands for the win (includes A & W, IBC, 7-Up, Squirt, Big Red, RC Cola).
Ghost’s comments on the flying anchor: I quite agree but suspect a ballistic chute installed, such as found in some ultralights, would made me reasonably comfortable hopping aboard one.
Take it from me Jim, if I’m going to rely on a parachute it’s going to be anchored directly to my ass. period. And even then, again take it from me, you still aren’t guaranteed to escape unscathed. As far as I’m concerned a person has to be certifiably retarded to do those tandem jumps. Your life is voluntarily completely 100% in somebody elses hands.
I haven’t had a conventional soda in many years. There are plenty of flavored yet unsweetened carbonated water products out there. I add a bit of stevia to them and I get every pleasure that I ever had from of sodas.
I’m no fan of Diana, or her weak willed son. But it is not a secret when Hewitt became Diana’s riding instructor. It was after Harry was born. Yes, they look similar. But the red hair runs in Diana’s family. And if you look at a picture of Prince Phillip, Harry’s grandfather, Phillip is a dead ringer for Harry when Phillip was Harry’s age.
Goodness knows there have been plenty of royal bastards, but James Hewitt isn’t Harry’s father. It wouldn’t be that hard for a news organization to get hold of DNA from Hewitt, and even Harry. A few hairs would do. And the news organizations in the UK would, and probably have, done it.
Diana. She was like Trump to that family, wasn’t she? Donald is right to recall Harry’s fine service. His wife is a special one, isn’t she?
Here comes my broken record, again. Civil War lead-up, take two-hundred. I am reading with interest the news of the day where the Chief of the National Guard Bureau (that’s the JCS dude who heads the whole National Guard – rather an important figure) shat on the whole DC program in a private or secret memo. He correctly stated that the mission was a shit-show from the standpoint of mission and support of his troops. Anyway, the news is how the SECDEF (that stupid cuck) dismissed his assessment out-of-hand. Feeling any safer today, my friends?
Basement Biden. I don’t know. I kind of enjoy having no president for awhile. In some ways his lack of competence leaves Americans freer from the totalitarian horseshit that DC otherwise has in mind for us. Although the immigrant migration of Covid-positive unfortunates is kind of a bad thing. You’d think the powers that be would want to stop that Covid shit from coming in like that.
