    I certainly was not aware of this…………The popular children’s game, rock, paper, scissors started out as a Chinese drinking game and then evolved into more tawdry territory before evolving into what we know it as today! 😀 😀 😀

    Mornin’ All. 40*, windy, and overcast here. It rained last night a there is a slight sprinkle of mist this morning. Loki didn’t care, she wanted to go for her walk anyway, so we did.

    I am making a list of things I need to get done today. And, I am going to try to actually get them all done.

    I listened to a podcast by Sheryl Atkinson today on mammograms that I think you all should listen to. Highly informative and helpful. Especially the very last part. I will try to post the link.

    All of you have a nice day.

    Excellent commentary by Victor Davis Hanson regarding General Milley’s recent statement and behavior (from Twitter):

    As Gen. Milley leaves office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, on his last day he goes out ranting about his loyalty to the Constitution and not to a “dictator,”—blasting Trump without mentioning Trump, and thus trumping as it were Trump’s own excesses with those of his own.

    So transits the most politicalized and weaponized 4-star CJS since the office was created.

    Would that instead Milley had at least explained the 2021 historically disastrous flight from Kabul and defeat in Afghanistan, or the radical implementation of woke agendas into the Pentagon retention and promotion policies, or why he felt the illustrious and renown Professor Kendi, of current Boston University “Center for Antiracist Research” infamy, should be required reading for the U.S. military at time when its recruitment is descending into historical lows and its deterrent reputation is seriously questioned.

    So what about Milley’s own “constitutional” legacy?

    Is it that an officer who deems his civilian President and Commander in Chief dangerous—as diagnosed by 4-star psychiatrist, state department diplomat, and now theater commander Milley—has a right to commandeer the chain of command, usurp powers that are expressly by law denied to him, and then take it on himself in a time of Chinese-American tensions to freelance, by contacting his communist counterpart to warn him about his own president’s diagnosed volatility, and to reassure the hardened Stalinist that Dr/Gen. Milley will inform him first of any precipitate action from the White House.

    Dictatorial much?

    Americans might ask the departing Milley, two questions, 1) if Trump is reelected in 2024, will a retired General Milley, as did his retired 4-star colleagues in 2020, violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice and repeat his current charges against a second-term President Trump—matching the previous invective of his colleagues’ accusations of “liar” or “Mussolini”?.

    And 2) what would Milley have done had a subordinate like himself, say a 3-star general, decided that Gen. Mark Milley’s Beijing gambit and his arrogation of command powers that were not legally his own, posed a grave threat to the republic?

    And thus would such a 3-star call up theater commanders to warn them to resist Milley’s reckless orders and to report to him first, followed by his phone call to the top Chinese PLA general to assure them that if Milley somehow gave an order deemed by the 3-star to be dangerously provocative, then he would not only not obey it but rather first warn the Chinese military of Milley’s unstable state of mind.

    Is that the kind of military Milley wishes to leave as his legacy, as he departs barking accusations at the moon?

    Socialist Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulled the fire alarm in a House office building Saturday as Democrats tried to delay a vote on a Republican stopgap spending bill.

    The wild incident in the Cannon Building was caught on camera and confirmed by several witnesses.

    Bowman “pulled a fire alarm in Cannon this morning,” a spokesperson for the GOP-controlled Administration Committee told Politico. “An investigation into why it was pulled is underway.”

    Bowman’s spokeswoman Emma Simon admitted her boss made a mistake.

    “Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote. The congressman regrets any confusion,” she said.

    Staten Island GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’ office told The Post she would move to have Bowman expelled from the chamber.

    “NY Democrat Jamaal Bowman literally pulled a fire alarm to stall and prevent our efforts to force a vote to keep the federal government open. Pathetic. Criminal investigation needs to happen,” said upstate GOP Congressman Nick Langworthy.

    OMG!

    Meghan Markle is reportedly “in the running to fill Dianne Feinstein’s California Senator seat” as the Duchess considers a run for office.

    According to a major Democratic donor close to Californian Governor Gavin Newsom, who is set to choose Feinstein’s replacement, the possibility of the Duchess of Sussex running is not impossible. Although a long-shot replacement for the 90-year-old pioneer, there is speculation Meghan could serve out the remaining 13 months of Feinstein’s term.

    A source told the Mail on Sunday: “Meghan is definitely a long-shot but in the craziness that is US politics these days it’s not an impossibility. Crazier things have happened.”
