GIVE TIL IT HURTS!
I have been unforgiveably remiss in not mentioning our old and dear friend Chris Muir’s annual fundraiser before now. Hit the link, dig deep, give whatever you can; the man is definitely one of the Good Guys, he does fantastic work, he’s worth it, and you know he is. Lord knows in these, the days of Biden’s Economic MIRACLE!™, we all need all the help we can possibly get.
Our good friend Chris Muir has really outdone himself with today’s strip, I think.
True as true can be, right down the line. Well done indeed, Chris.

1Two tips for y’all that may very well come in useful in the days ahead. First, our old friend Chris Muir recommends that saner, non-Leftwit sorts seriously consider dumping PayPal for Authorize-dot-net.
I have no knowledge or experience with ’em myself; I’ll look into it and see what’s up. Having known Chris for many years now, I can tell you folks that I completely trust his judgment and smarts, and figure that any suggestion he makes along any such lines is likely a good one.
Second, entrepreneur extraordinaire Mike Lindell is launching a competitor for Amazon.
Mike Lindell is fighting back!
After he was canceled by retailers, Mike Lindell is starting his own online store: MyStore.com
MyStore is going to rival Amazon, Mike says.
“For years entrepreneurs and inventors have come to me with products and ideas. They don’t know how to market them, and I haven’t had the time to show them,” Lindell said in a video on the (Business Insider—M) site.
“I am going to put vetted products from great entrepreneurs on here, like you see a sampling of them here today, that are going to change this country,” he continued.
“We’re finally going to be able to see these products and be able to get these great entrepreneurs, their great ideas, out to you, the public.”
The site also proclaims that there are “hundreds” of products coming soon, and it includes a link to a form for people to submit applications for “products ready for market.”
Lindell has set himself a truly Herculean task with this venture, and I wish him every success. His “MyStore” can be visited here.
I thought I was done for the night after that last one, but then this came along:

Conduct yourself with the merest modicum of decorum, courtesy, and respect and you'll be fine.

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."

"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
