Name The School Mascot
Seattle could soon see a school named after Marsha P. Johnson, James Baldwin, Cheryl Chow or another prominent LGBTQ+ individual. Under a new a resolution the Seattle School Board passed unanimously this Pride month to support queer youth identity, the state’s largest school district is on the hook to consider several measures: Creating a new LGBTQ+ culture and identity curriculum, include an all-genders bathroom in any new school construction projects, offer LGBTQ+ sensitivity training to staff and rename one school.
Seattle Times
I try to look at the silly side of these stories. As I was reading the very first thought I had before I finishing the first sentence was what will these folks have for a mascot?. I was sort of hoping other names would be on the list. Truman Capote High School sounds fun.
The mascot would obviously have to have the colors of the rainbow. Know what? When I was in high school our mascot was a Toreador. It only came about because some guy who was a Hollywood producer made a movie with a toreador in it and there was a left over costume so he, a graduate of Boone High School, gave it to the school. Our mascot had the colors of green, gold, silver, red and, of course, stockings that were pink. We were way ahead of the game.
God Help Us All If Democrats Run The Table
I'm a guy pushing age 75. Her Majesty follows closely behind by a year. We've enjoyed 50 years of sometimes wedded bliss; more often than not.
Tumultuous times bring about change; some good, some not so good. I'm going to concentrate in this piece on the not so good--------the 'what if'.
What if in this next election the Democrats take the Senate, the House and the White House? Scary, huh?
If you're on the other side you might be ecstatic with joy but as I've often heard: be careful what you wish for.
The changes in our country would be astronomical. Every single liberal law would be passed from reparations to court packing to tax adjustments to whatever AOC desired. She would become the new face of this country. You'd scoff if I said we were on our way to Marxism but it's a fact.
So, I've been making a plan for The Queen and I. I love this country. I've often said, "I love my country but I fear my government." We have ten grandchildren in the U.S. spread throughout the land. We don't often see them and now that they're in their teens or close to it we've fallen on their 'must see' list. It's understandable. The point I'm trying to make is I don't think I want to live in our country if I have to to put up with the Schumer's, Pelosi's and Biden's of the world and the naboob who will take over for Joe when he's in the home.
Consequently, I've been looking at countries we could move to that would be our new second home and two have been high on the radar. My wife's first pick would be Scotland. It's the home of her grandfather. She's been there a number of times and would live there if she became a widow tomorrow.
The nicest aspect of Scotland is we could live there for six months before we had to up and leave to----------my next choice which is Ireland. I wouldn't go to the Ireland of Dublin or Shannon. That'd be like living where we now reside; a big city with English speaking people. No, we'd go to that part of the Emerald Isle on the southern coast with it's small towns and villages.
There is one slight drawback but it could be overcome. The cost of living is 15% to 20% higher than in this country. But at our ages we could cut back. I don't need filet migon to be happy; a peanut butter and cheese sandwich will do nicely. We live a simple life now. Besides, I could learn to live on potatoes and haggis. I'd have to hold my nose but it'd be the same as looking and listening to the Democrats as spoil this country.

Biden's Plan For America's Suburbs
Joltin' Joe always touted his relationship with Obama. One item in agreement for both was to gain control of the suburban vote. The first item of business on this agenda deals with white women. In the off year elections of '18 they succeeded.
Gaining the suburbs means more than voting. It deals with annexation into the local major cities adjoining them.
I came across an article in National Review. It's Joe's plan stated by him.

I came across an article in National Review. It's Joe's plan stated by him.
The plan has three elements: 1) Inhibit suburban growth, and when possible encourage suburban re-migration to cities. This can be achieved, for example, through regional growth boundaries (as in Portland), or by relative neglect of highway-building and repair in favor of public transportation. 2) Force the urban poor into the suburbs through the imposition of low-income housing quotas. 3) Institute “regional tax-base sharing,” where a state forces upper-middle-class suburbs to transfer tax revenue to nearby cities and less-well-off inner-ring suburbs (as in Minneapolis/St. Paul).
If you press suburbanites into cities, transfer urbanites to the suburbs, and redistribute suburban tax money to cities, you have effectively abolished the suburbs. For all practical purposes, the suburbs would then be co-opted into a single metropolitan region. Advocates of these policy prescriptions call themselves “regionalists.”
If You Build It They Won't Come
Yesterday Joe Biden held his first news conference in, well, forever. He sort of goofed a couple of times. One being when this non-planned event was when he was stuttering around and while looking at some notes uttered, "I forget who has the next question". Oops! Sounds to me it the conference was planned.
If you happen to youtube the event notice the lady behind him who does sign language for the hearing impaired. She's at a loss to be able to sign what he is saying and the frustration she shows is magnificent.
Joe said he isn't going to have any rallies while the pandemic is on. Can you blame him? It'd be like going to a meeting of a men's castration society.

The #1 Newscaster In All Of Cable News
Rush Limbaugh used to refer to Tucker Carlson as Chadsworth Osborne. It had to do with his penchant for wearing bow ties, I'm sure.
Carlson is now the 8 pm news host on Fox and is the number one guy in all of cable news. This includes the other guy, Rachel Maddow.
His demographic isn't only us old folks. He's also number one in the 25-45 demo. That's the one most important but I don't know why.
If you caught his opening monologue every night you'd understand why he's so popular. Liberals would shriek in horror at what he says because it's the truth.
