You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Couple names newborn twins Corona and Covid


A central Indian couple has reportedly named their twins Corona and Covid.

The babies were born last week in the throes of a deadly worldwide pandemic, according to the Hindustan Times.

I was blessed with the twins — a boy and a girl — in the early hours on March 27. We have named them Covid and Corona (respectively) for now,” the children’s mother Preeti Verma said.

When I was a young lad, I played baseball everyday...all day long till the street lights went on.

I vividly recall swinging a baseball bat with all my might, at the telephone pole in front of my house.

Suddenly all the lights went out....across the entire Northeast USA.

Robot Caddy

A golfer walks into the clubhouse of the local country club. He tells the golf pro behind the counter that he wants to do 18 and he is going to need a caddy. The golf pro informs him that the country club is running a promotion and if he tries out one of their experimental robot caddies, he can golf for free. The golfer agrees and takes out the robot. While on the golf course the robot caddy tells the golfer the wind speed, distance, even how hard to hit which club. He has the best game of his life.

The next time the golfer goes to the country club, he tells the golf pro that he wants to do 18 holes and that he wants to get one of the robot caddies.

He informs the golfer that they don't have the robot caddies anymore. The golfer, all upset, tells him how great they were and asks him what happened.

The golf pro tells him that members were complaining that the sun would reflect of their metallic material and into their eyes.

The golfer asks him why they didn't just paint the robots black?

The golf pro said that they did, but the next day, 3 of them didn't show up and the other 3 robbed the pro shop.

The 1965 blackout!

9 November 1965. Nine days before I turned ten.

At about 5:20 or so, I still remember . . . I was sitting at the dining room table finishing a surprisingly small load of fifth-grade homework. My kid brother was playing with our dog. My father was watching the 5:00 newscast on local WPIX (Channel 11) on the small TV set we kept in the dining room. (We were news hounds in our household, even though nobody then had any inkling I'd actually become a professional journalist in due course---and my father didn't live to see it, he was already dying of cancer and would be gone the following June.) My mother was just about to serve dinner. (If I remember right, it was roast beef.)

Then the lights in the house just faded out kind of slowly. I went to the front of the house and looked as far down the street as I could see, then I went outside. Our block was dark. So was the next block, where one of my father's cousins lived. We called my father's favourite aunt on the westmost side of town and she was dark, too.

From there, the most nerve-wracking part of it was waiting to hear about my maternal grandparents---they both worked in Manhattan and took the subway home to the Bronx, and the phones weren't gone just yet.(My paternal grandparents also lived in the north Bronx but Grandpa Walter retired from the New York Police Department the same year I was hatched.) We were petrified that they might be stuck on a train between stations and, since we flipped the radio on, we already knew it was a cluster-you-know-what in the city. About 20 minutes after the lights went out Grandma Diana and Grandpa Morris called us, they'd made it back to the north Bronx safe and sound and had barely walked into their apartment when the lights went out.

For the rest of the night we had candles lit all around the house, we huddled in my parents' bedroom, we had our roast beef in there on TV trays, and when not staying glued to the radio there the four of us were playing Monopoly by candlelight on my parents' bed. I think we were all asleep somehow by about 10:30. We got our power back at five the next morning.

And to think the whole thing started with a failed protective relay setting in a power station on the Canadian side (Queenston, Ontario) of Niagara Falls . . .

Oh the things you find while in quarantine and bored and surfing random videos on YouTube.

This great BTW. Airplane! is one of my favorite movies next to Holy Grail.
