<br />
Why not start with Hell? Well America is already taken for a few places, but why not call it America also? Hey, call it Canada if you like, won’t be offended. <br />
<br />
Is it true that 16th century German Mapmakers used the feminine Latin name for Amerigo, which is America, and it’s been that way ever since? I propose change America to Amerigo in honor of Amerigo Vespucci to at least get the gender right. How many other nations have feminine names? According to AI, Canada is masculine but has been used as a girl’s name on occasion.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This time it's the Spanish exclave of Ceuta on the Moroccan coast. After the activist judges of the Spanish supreme court ruled that Spain can't prevent migrants from entering these territories, tens of thousands of military age males have been flooding in. Ceuta has a Spanish population of 83,000, so they are overwhelmed. There's no way that they can provide all the social services that socialist Spain promises to migrants.<br />
<br />
Streets are filled with migrants, there are reports of fights between them and local Spaniards. There's serious concern about what will happen tonight, since the migrants have nowhere to stay and nothing to eat. There's fear that looting and home invasions may be coming. Locals in Ceuta are afraid and are calling for Madrid to declare a state of emergency and send the military.<br />
<br />
If anything good comes of this, it's that it might be the nail in the coffin of Pedro Sanchez's ruling socialist government in Madrid. And hopefully the rest of Europe (and the UK) are watching closely. Italy's Giorgia Meloni seems to be.<br />
<br />
There are huge crowds gathering on the Moroccan side of the border, pushing to get into European Union territory. Spanish intelligence reportedly believes that some 40,000 migrants have already entered. Spanish intelligence believes that it's orchestrated by Morocco in hopes of seizing the territory, which has been Spanish since the 16th century.<br />
<br />
It looks like a whole bucket of steaming wet diarrhea has been dumped in the European Union's lap. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[The White House Correspondents Dinner is a very swanky (tuxedos and evening gowns) self-congraulatory gathering of the journalists accredited to the White House. This year it was held in the DC Hilton Hotel.<br />
<br />
Historically Presidents have attended and they and the press engaged in good natured jokes and sparring. But things have grown so hostile between President Trump and much of the mainstream media, that he didn't attend last year. But this year President Trump and the always elegant Melania attended and so did all kinds of government officials like Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio and the Speaker of the House.<br />
<br />
Well, after everyone was seated but before the event really began, a young man with a shotgun, a handgun and several knives sprinted past the metal detector checkpoint at the entrance to the hotel, but outside the ballroom. A uniformed Secret Service officer tried to intercept him and the intruder shot the officer. Other officers pulled their weapons and got off several shots, but didn't strike the individual, who was finally tackled by more Secret Service agents and handcuffed.<br />
<br />
The Secret Service immediately hustled President Trump, Vice President Vance and the others out of the ballroom and all the guests (mostly prominent reporters) were told to get down and shelter under their tables. When it was clear that there were no more attackers, the ballroom was evacuated.<br />
<br />
The attacker has been identified as 31 year old Cole Thomas Allen of Torrance California. Not a whole lot is known about him. He apparently worked as a teacher in a private tutoring service of some kind. His motive for attacking the dinner are unknown at this time. (But given President Trump's presence at the event, it isn't hard to guess.) He did make a &#36;25 donation to Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, but he has almost zero presence on X.<br />
<br />
The Secret Service Officer who was shot was wearing a body armor vest and reportedly is in good condition.<br />
<br />
Right now, the FBI and local police are swarming the address linked to Cole Allen in Torrance CA.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A Niagara politician has been forced to resign because he (allegedly?) owns a signed copy of Mein Kampf. I’m totally flabbergasted that we have these people running local governments and spending taxpayer dollars that don’t see the historical signifigance of this book. I guess they’re deciding that it’s best for the electorate not to know some of the history of anti-semitism and what prompted the holocaust in WWII. <br />
<br />
There was a time when I was curious about the damn book myself, so I bought it at local bookstore. They had more than one copy for sale. It’s a (inter)national chain and next time I go in there I’m going to look for it. I just wanted to know some history. Bothers me that people can invade the man’s privacy to punish him. It’s bloody well disgusting behavior and they should all be forced to resign.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Or an occupation that fits certain surnames. Names like Baker, Carpenter, obvious. A ichthyologist named Fish etc. When I hear Trump I sometimes think of a card player, Bridge or Euchre. But my favourite of all time belongs to my local councilwoman. Her last name happens to be Noyes, that’s right, No/Yes….perfectly fitting for a politician. Have you a favourite?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Bill Maher recognizes when the left just makes up bullshit. <br />
<p style="display:block;margin-left:3em">
...<br />
Maher went after the left for refusing to disapprove of those among them who are clearly “insane,” explaining that “their cowardice in not marginalizing their own crazies has been their downfall.”<br />
<br />
“I couldn’t get Neil deGrasse Tyson — a genius, scientist, and pre-eminent scientific voice in the media — to agree that it was ridiculous for Scientific American and the Atlantic to be claiming that separating sports by sex doesn’t make sense. Yes, it does,” he said. “Actually it makes perfect sense.”<br />
<br />
Conservatives, on the other hand, see that it makes sense to separate sports by sex and refuse to “pointlessly” reinvent society.<br />
<br />
“They see gender as only a construct and sex is assigned at birth. And they say, ‘We’re not doing that.’ Transing kids by self-diagnosis with no age limit, no parental notification, and no acknowledgment of social contagion. Not doing it,” he explained.<br />
...<br />
“Asylum now covers any reason for anyone to come to America. Not doing it. Homelessness is a lifestyle. Natural immunity doesn’t count anymore. Whiteness is toxic. Penises in women’s prisons. Welcoming the intifada. We’re not doing it,” he said.<br />
<br />
“Stop coming up with radically new and often terrible ideas and then in the next breath insist there be no debate about any of it. That if you don’t see it right away and go along, you’re bad, stupid, and deplorable. As if you were saying, ‘Duh, 2 plus 2 equals 5. Isn’t that obvious?’ Yeah, it’s obvious you can’t add,” he continued.<br />
<br />
“You can’t just say s**t: Math is racist; queers for Palestine; looting is cool; healthy at any weight; if the men’s football team played the women’s team, it would be a tie. You can’t just say s**t,” he added.<br />
