  1. Perhaps one of the FIRST bands that started shaping my adult musical taste … way back in 1969 … wasn’t The Beatles, or Stones, or even any of my myriad SF Bay Area psychedelic bands. Nope. It was Chicago Transit Authority … who blew me away with their fusion of rock, jazz, blues, R&B, pop, and was truly Prog. Rock in their own way. They set the template for my ear that yearned for layers and layers of intricate instrumentation. Not so much a “wall of sound” as a “Jenga of sound” … pieces of sound all layered delicately and fit together perfectly to make an improbable Tower of sound.

    It STILL doesn’t get much better than this.

    1. Huh? It’s almost as if someone in Chicago saw CTA in 1969 … and said hey! We can put together a boy band with a lead guitarist wearing a silk scarf around his neck (so edgy) and a horn section and become as successful as CTA.

      Sorry. Watching that video is SO cringe … and such a weak rip-off of CTA.

    1. ‘Science’ is the single most misused word in the English language at the moment. And KM utterly slaughters it daily. The Queer-mutants? They hate-is-hate it.

      1. oh ya, the ‘science’ and the ‘politics’ and the ‘money’ and the ‘human nature’ and the ‘culture’ and and and
        ie ‘science’ is about 15% of the picture

    1. Perhaps the Republican Party needs to assemble tens of thousands of groups of 8 with Head Voucher … showing up from out of State and vote in the MN midterms.

      It’s the same thing as ex NBA players discovering their woman-ness and playing in the WNBA … we need to shove this garbage up their rectums till they beg to make it stop.

      Because the feckless SCOTUS … feckless Republican Party … and America-hating Democrats won’t fix our broken, fraudulent, voting system …

  2. Welcome to Canadian Tax Hell…………..Canadian Mice.

    Canadians pay more in taxes than for food, shelter and clothing combined, report finds:

    “The report also notes that taxes have grown much more rapidly than any other single expenditure on the list. Costs for shelter increased by 2,349 per cent between 1961 and the present, while food prices climbed 952 per cent, and clothing just 526 per cent in the same period. Even the Consumer Price Index, which measures the average price that consumers pay for food, shelter, clothing, transportation, health and personal care, education, and other items, grew 946 per cent in that period. ”

  3. Democrat Criminals.
    The corrupt Michigan Secretary of State spontaneously makes up a new rule that, if followed, makes criminals of local election officials. Delete election records seven days after certification of the election (per her instructions), or face a possible 90 days imprisonment at the hands of the state. Delete election records seven days after certification of the election, and face up to a year’s imprisonment for violation of federal law.

    1. L – I agree and believe Britons will put up a pretty good fight and are capable of actually winning. I say that for two reasons: 1. The forces of international jihad are a long ways from their supply chain. Something that matters when the going gets tough.

      2. Western Civilization is notable for the efficiency, with which its people over perform. While it has been politically incorrect to acknowledge that history. One aspect is military efficiency. If they protect their coastlines. Once it kicks off for real. With a little help of materiel from allies. I believe they can win a civil war, as can individual countries in Europe. Who will rally, once again under a belated “Holy League”.

      Those, who emerge victorious will do so with added testosterone and a renewed confidence in, both their nation-state and Western Civilization. Victory isn’t guaranteed but there for whose cultural identity and patriotic love provides them the answer to “Man’s Search for Meaning”.

      No one will fight and die to defend the flag and tyranny that is the E.U. , but for Britain, for France, et al for the land of their ancestors. The Suicidal Empathy embraced by militant, Cult. Marxist feminism is about to fall out of fashion. That is my masculine intuition.

    1. Just how far back has this FOOL and all his fawning supporters set back DEI and “equality”?
      Decades?
      Century?
      Centuries?
