Bullet Points:
** E.O. Wilson wrote, “We are drowning in information while starving for wisdom.”
** The Girl with the Beard (Bee) – So long as people accept this as the norm, they’ll be swimming in it (literally)
** The government is the ultimate corporation, and it has a monopoly on violence (Musk).
** Here is a hint for people who may not feel as though they measure up.
** The woke geniuses who are invoking climate change solutions on your behalf.
** Legacy Films – a rejection of woke culture. A joint venture between Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg.
** Words to avoid in the US – (Mail) (H/T Stringshot) The Department of Homeland Security has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S.
The intriguing the list includes obvious choices such as ‘attack’, ‘Al Qaeda’, ‘terrorism’ and ‘dirty bomb’ alongside dozens of seemingly innocent words like ‘pork’, ‘cloud’, ‘team’ and ‘Mexico’.
Released under a freedom of information request, the information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats.

Not the Space (as opposed to illegal) Aliens and the Pyramids Again!
For Mike_C & Cederq – the single guys
You picked up a new lady at the hospital and asked her out. Things seemed to go well until she started making unusual demands. At first, you thought that she was staff, and then as the evening progresses, the thought crosses your mind that she dropped a file near the door to neuropsych. That’s where you first struck up a conversation. You ask yourself if she might be possessed. It turns out that you’re right.
It’s not a tattoo, and it’s not an octopus. It’s a space alien that looks remarkably like an octopus. She invites you up to her apartment to look at her etchings. Do you go for it anyway?
It’s one of those questions that guys can ask guys.
It might even be possible that this happened in the past, which naturally will lead to blog comments that might intrigue the old married crew here on VM, who don’t get out much and forget what dating in 2024 might be like on a routine basis.
Here is another view of the single life South of the Mason-Dixon.

Have at it, EdB.

This was the very first combat-ready tank and the only specifically ‘female’ tank. It’s not a good photo so I added a second (captured) photo to aid your ID.

IDARMOR-
1.British MK IV Cruiser Tank
2. A7V German Mephisto
3. Type 87 Japanese SPAAG
Well done, HogsbreathSS
Two is German WW1 A7V
The tank was captured by 26 Battalion from 7 Brigade Australian Army.
The battalion was disbanded in 1946 following WW2
The only A7V left is in Australian War museum in Canberra.
Full disclosure I was in 7 Brigade in a different battalion for 6 years back in the 1970’s. My grandfather and five great uncles were in different parts of 7 Brigade in WW1 and more uncles in WW2.
Just looking at the A7V makes the crackers I have left feel like their about to rattle out of my skull! Thanks for you and your familys’ service RCC!

That’s a huge legacy, RCC. Big shoes to fill. The GREATEST GENERATION created a high bar for us all and as a group, we’ve been disappointing.
AGREED. Forever shall I strive to maintain the tremendous reputation of those who went before me.
-HogSS
As you said LL an amazing legacy.
My grandfather’s story, (as would many of his contemporaries) would be rejected as too far fetched for a movie.
His second unit 49 battalion (created post Gallipoli of reinforcements and experienced soldiers) has Australia’s most Battle Honours and most casualties in WW1. He was wounded on three occasions in France and left for dead once.
His two of his younger brothers never got touched once. Another one wounded twice.
Lost hearing in left ear in 1916 due to bullet wound and was back in fighting in 1917, wounded again then again in 1918. Came home with three bullets still in him.
Became a successful farmer in Australia post war then tried to join army in WW2. Ended up serving as local home guard commander.
Also raised 5 boys and lost one early.
I shudder to think how people survived three years in trench warfare.
Identify the Armor:
1. Cruiser Mk IV

Looks like Heinlein’s Puppet Masters are here. If Mike_C and Cedarq start acting strangely we’ll know why.
I thought of that…yeah, Mike_C and Cedarq acting strangely… I think it depends on how you define strangely. We need a baseline.
If I go all “Team Daily Wire” you’ll know I’ve been taken over. Just “send it”. I’d say “and please make it clean headshot” but if it’s .50 BMG it prolly doesn’t matter where you hit. So there’s that.
Who is Cedarq?
Acting strangely? I would posit, placing Mike_C and me in close proximity would result in a post Ghost Hunters style paroxysm of weirdness, debauchery and mayhem…
Just make sure to put your hand on the girl’s back and give it a squeeze. If she goes into convulsions, step aside and feel free to unload into or curbstomp whatever is on her back.
Most important, do this before going into any location that is shaded, dark, not visible when you first met her, around the corner, in an elevator…
Trust, but verify… Fark it, Don’t Trust, and Verify!
Sorry, you lost me at Black Rifle Coffee.
” how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet ” Yet they still can figure out who is behind the organization putting thousands of Barack’s Boys across our border ever day.
They’re selective. It doesn’t take much to determine who they hate and who they love.
Measuring Up- I’m picturing a female Jeremy Clarkson…that was epically delivered only a resident of The Motherland could do…and she’s not wrong…I think.

California is supposed to be all environmentally sensitive, so why are their freeways really parking lots moving at a snails pace and petrol-central with every manner of TV Reality shows? Never could figure that one out.
*
Legacy Films- Good, about time Hollywood had some competition without the rot. Wahlberg is an unabashed God-fearing family man, every time I hear him speak he sounds grounded. The article didn’t say but saw Rosanne Barr was also involved, which is interesting. Now, it’d be great if Trump or Musk took over Disney, help resurrect Walt’s “legacy” from the reprobates currently running it into the ground.

I’m awaiting “The Single Guys” [likely hilarious] response…but wasn’t Arrival similar with its ink-writing heptapods? The movie didn’t go into them changing into female Chinese form…maybe that’ll be the sequel, “Arrival, The Attack”.
PS. The Conservative Treehouse is under attack from Google “spider crawl” algorithm, except this time being done with comments, which are apparently in their demented brains is the fault of the Host. Censorship by any means. Time For A Reset ™
Legacy Films: I thought I saw that Angelina Jolie was involved, but can’t find a trace of it now.
Thought so as well but have forgotten the reference.
Nicholas Cage and Angelina Jolie have a DIFFERENT non-woke project going on.
That’s what I was thinking of.
So, to count, and I don’t even have to take off my shoes…
There’s the Boring Company and their in-house movie production company.
There’s the one that Gibson et al is doing.
There’s the one for Great American Family channel.
There’s he one for the UP channel.
There’s the one with Cage and Jolie.
And a couple extra.
Sounds like non-woke and Christian houses are beginning to win.
OMG. Like, this is literally my life.

I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!
Shocking the Smokeshow….there’s a novel approach. Maybe there’s an App for that.

Man, if he had a driver license that would show he’s 18 or above, man, he’d have gotten some action that night.
I’m jealous! You’re living “the life”!
The thing is, you don’t see the tattoo until it’s too late.
It does remind me of an interesting movie I saw years ago called The Rapture (Mimi Rogers, David Duchovny, Will Patton) wherein an oriental woman is seen with a large pearl tattooed on her back. She was not an alien.
Their terms are acceptable: attack, Al Qaeda, terrorism, dirty bomb, pork, cloud, team and Mexico. Throw in MAGA for good measure.
Molon Lube-Rack, you maggots.
I really want to see similar terms trending in social media. Crank up the N in SNR.
How’s about: “dirty pork” and “pork bomb”. And “Dave Qaeda” (Al’s lesser known younger brother). Poor Dave’s developing some serious sibling rivalry what with Al getting all the attention. “Attack cloud”? I dunno what that means, but I like it. “Pork team” could be a dietary preference, or maybe the title for a themed series of pornos. The possibilities are endless. And stupid.

True. Plus, in the modern world of our benevolent overlords, “Everything has a price tag, but nothing has value.”

In other news, that itchy right eye is now confirmed viral conjunctivitis (pinkeye). Grrr. Not much to do but wait it out. Sigh. Mass Eye and Ear was fast and efficient. A modern day miracle. The triage nurse was great. So was the tech doing tonometry. The MDs were good too. (The Dominican desk people, not so much. Reasonably competent, but different manners than everyone else. “You! Come here and sit down!” is not what this midwestern boy expects at a medical facility. I don’t think they were trying to be rude, however.)

The hot resident who saw me during my chemo (steroid) induced corneal swelling a few years ago graduated. I think LL and Jules know who I’m talking about. Anyway, it was a Scandinavian looking girl with a thoroughly Irish name. A literal former beauty queen who also graduated first in her class from a top 10 US med school. The tech remembered her, had photos on her phone actually. “Oh, M! She graduated, got married, and moved to Hawaii. I miss her. She was really nice to everyone!” The tech showed me a photo of M with two other girls. It was like a picture of The Castellows.

They’re out there, boys. Not all are octopus-backed space aliens or whatever that’s about.
Sigh…
Don’t forget Cal SR 187…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Route_187
California Penal Code 187 defines the elements of murder. The number was deliberately chosen for that State Route. We used to have a State Route 666 in Arizona but motorists kept stealing the highway signs for the Highway to Hell and they changed the designation.
When It was US666 I drove it twice. Back in 1975, I drove from Alpine, AZ to US70 on that road. It was very interesting. My parents and I went camping near Alpine just after I graduated from AF Undergraduate Pilot Training. I decided to take 666 south as I had wanted to see what the ground looked like under the Williams AFB training areas. Coming off the Mogollon Rim just south of Alpine was an outstanding view over mountains that were below the Rim. On that section of “The Devil’s Route” there were posted speeds of 25 MPH and near vertical drop-offs on the passenger side of my car.
In May 1995, I took US666 from Gallup NM through Cortez, CO to Monticello, UT on my way to Hill AFB for my annual Active Duty training in the AF Reserve. Ship Rock looked neat.
You want the single guy’s most treasured mating secrets? Have you married men been married so long you forgot them? I don’t know if Mike_C and me want to divulge our trade secrets and winning, smooth come-ons. I sense a desire to live viscerally through us. I had a fast and hard rule, I never dated any one I worked with and especially a patient, I worked both psych and behavioral and believe me crazy may be fun for the first romp. Never tell her your name or where you live(leave your wallet at home, use an Uber). My second fast/hard rule, you don’t date someone that lives in close proximity. They know where you live and having hall sex with a pissed off female, fellow tenant does not bode well, you end up search in vain for a distant unobtrusive apartment or condo…
Regarding the girl. Of course you go to see her “etchings”. How could you, in all honesty, not go to see them. Even at my age, I will be 80 in June. I would have to go. How could I not.
It was well said by James Stewart in “How the West was Won”, after following the girl into the cave and being stabbed for his trouble, “I went to see the varmint. I knew I shouldn’t have gone but I went to see it anyway” or words to that effect.
In my single days went home with some strange females, who looked good in the night and, in the morning, was often surprised to not wake up dead. With others, when you awoke, if she was still sleeping you had to make the decision as to whether you would chew your arm off to escape before she woke up. I recall once making the mistake of going back, having left in the morning still somewhat under the weather, the following evening and knocking on this particular door. It was open by this apparition and, when I enquired if her daughter was home, I copped a mouthful of vile abuse. Seems I must have been drunker than I thought.
One of the very sad things of being sober all my life is no matter what time of the day, a 2 is still a 2. I’m not attracted to them. But for some reason I am their porch light to their moth bodies. Seriously, I’ll be walking my dog and some of the skankiest women will come up and talk to me with something in their eyes. Some will even continue after they find out I’m married. Some will even continue after they find out I’m happily married. Ugh. Bleh.
Off topic. Excerpt from a news letter received.
The government offered to buy my guns from me. But after a thorough background check of the buyer, I am not comfortable with selling weapons to organized crime.
