I am also more than happy to chip in.

Good morning to all.

Happy, er, Monday.

As I mentioned (late) last night, I've found a new series that, somewhat to my surprise, I quite like.  Rogue Heroes, a BBC-et al production; available on the Epix channel, maybe others as well.  It's a semi-fictionalized account of the creation of the SAS during the North Africa campaign in The Big One, Dubya Dubya Two (/ArcheiBunkerVoice).  It's very well-written; well-acted; and at least according to Wiki-type sources, hews fairly closely to actual events, at least on the big-picture items.

"By now readers know that President Joe Biden and the Rules and Bylaws Committee of the Democratic National Committee have reshuffled the 2024 presidential primary to punish the Granite State and strip us of our traditional first in the nation status.

Then it should be worthwhile to look up. I'll try to find it later this week when I'm not buried in work.

I can't read that article. It comes up, and then it demands money to see the content.

Huh. Try linking via Insty (which I what I did, originally).

Alas, no joy. Perhaps if I had clicked to it directly from Insty, it would have worked. Oh, well. I'm not that worried about it.

This one example, no.  But it's part of a pattern by the Democrats to make EVERYTHING based on race (with whites, of course, being moved to the back of the line).  See, e.g., explicitly race-conscious Federal guidelines on access to Covid vaccines and antivirals.

You know, if they keep putting thumbs on the scales, they won't have any room for votes. /

Thanks, everyone. I don't want to have money go directly to me, and I don't think there is a way to make partial payments to the hosting company. Thus, if someone else can set up a way to accept payments, I can have that person added to the hosting account to make the complete payment.

Still have to see how much it is, and I think it would be a good idea to increase disk space and get the ability to download a backup should something go wrong. (The hosting company was subject to a ransomware attack a while back; they did the right thing and did NOT pay but were still able to restore everything close enough. But I'd fell better with my own backup, too.)

So some jerk from "Teaberry Painting" thinks I want to buy a franchise. Did not take the hint that I didn't reply the first time. Sent another email.

So I reported it to the FTC and the BBB,

If they won't pay attention to the CAN-SPAM act, why should I think they will obey any other laws and regulations?

I’m back!  Briefly.  I was working late, then watching Rogue Heroes (which I once again recommend).
