Loss of the Pursuit of Excellence
The decline of America began with the loss of the pursuit of excellence. Case in point, in the early to mid 1990s we raised a generation of burger flippers who thought it was preferable to smoke marijuana while in high school classes and generally be rude, stupid human beings.

This scum ultimately reproduced and gave rise to millennials, the single most self indulgent non academically spirited generation ever and the subsequent leftist libtard indoctrination by the stupid teachers in the public school system took care of the rest.

The Republicans are equally at fault for their laissez faire policy of not keeping their eye on the untrustworthy leftist libtard progressives of the NEA and other stupid teachers in the United States.

us democratic party

So now, where we were mostly pursuant of good things we are left with a lot of people who have the audacity to spew their unintelligent vitriol, claim to be a gender types they are not, and other abominations embraced by a democratic party out to seize power by stealing it, or lying to them, illegal immigration under the promises of unlimited entitlements at the expense of the taxpayer ... and supporting their idiotic illogical, and unscientific contentions like "transsexuality" the falsehood of climate change, and various perversions of history.

This has resulted in widespread desicration of the United States by an element which should not be allowed to operate nor exist in those falsehoods they not only spread, but actually believe in all their stupidity.

So when you think of Nancy Pelosi, Chuckie Schumer, the incessant liar Adam Schiff, the retarded Joe Biden and his criminal family as well as the corrupt Kamala Harris and subversive constituency of "the squad" just remember:

This is precisely the mess things become in the absence of proper governance and observing the rule of law. Things can and will change one way or another. It may require civil war but the democrats are on the defensive because they are not standing the scrutiny of the world in all their stupidity.

How could we not have controlled our destiny and the securty of the Republic MUCH better than this. We allowed criminal idiots without a modicum of substantive good to steal the election and nobody did anything about it.

NASCAR is incorporated on this day in 1948

NASCAR. The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing ... best known for stock car racing is something in my life which has always been there.

Hailing from the 'deep south' it is automatically surmised that I'm a fan much like the many insipid inbred beer drinking southern pukes in my midst.

I was even defrauded by a credit card company who had the audacity to open a credit card for someone unknown to me based on that stupid assumption.
 

nascar logo


No. I do not like NASCAR.
No. I have never liked NASCAR.
No. I will never like NASCAR.
Yes. I think those who pursue the so-called "sport" should be shot and left to rot where they drop.

NASCAR is stupid.
People who like NASCAR are stupid.

Had I not been exploited by some stupid individual who thought I automatically like NASCAR I wouldn't feel so much hate.

Too bad. I shall be hating on both NASCAR and it's proponents til I die.

BOO.

Eric Cartman should be killed
    Eric Cartman is evil
In my travels I have watched South Park repeatedly such that I believe I've been through the entire series several times.

A recurring theme in all of this is that evilness I perceive to be Eric Cartman.

His mother, Liane Cartman presents as a somewhat dull but sweet, slutty, and indulgent mother.

Except in very few episodes; the child Eric has presented with a never ending stream of evilness which can only be described as some psychosociopath which should be erased from the planet quickly and in as cruel and painful a manner as possible.

While I am sure this was intended as a theatric device in the context of the program, it has devolved to a state of total incomprehensibility with a child clearly out of control whose outrageous behavior and terrible treatment of his peers renders him never to be recovered again.

Were he my child I would shoot him in the head with a .357 hollow point and call it a day.

Someone should scrap this shitbird and start over. He ceased being funny to me personally long ago. He has absolutely no redeeming value and I don't care who his uninvolved daddy is.

Adventures in Upgrades 2021
Today I installed the new SIIG pcie 4 port USB 3 adapter into the Lenovo shitbox I bought a few years back.

Initially, I was thinking I would gain 4 ports, but alas ... the provisioning on this piss poor Lenovo effort already utilized a 2 port pcie in the destination slot.

siig dual profile 4 port usb 3 pcie adapter    
At least I was able to double the high speed ports.

So looking the device over I noticed the "notebook in a case" design of the crappy Lenovo workstation would not lend itself to the large mounting plate already attached so I removed it and installed the smaller one.

I reseated the board in the pcie slot and rechecked everything and applied liberal compressed air dust removal prior to affixing the mounting screws.

After giving it one more inspection for good measure I reassembled the case, reattached the cables and looked everything over one last time.

Anyway things loaded like a charm first time. I gave it a few moments and restarted the machine a few times to attain that "last known good configuration" nirvana MCSE training taught me regarding ...

And voila, I went from 2 USB 3 ports to 4 and now everything has a port with a remainder of one for future reference.

The main things are to look things over, exercise static control and reasonable caution, and recheck prior to applying power.

I needed this upgrade badly.

Final word of caution:

Never buy anything from Lenovo or Frys Electronics because they're both companies you're better off without. Nothing but disappointment and trouble. No wonder Dell is making a haul.

Day of the Shining Star 2021
    Kim Jong-il
Today we suffer The Day of the Shining Star. It is a public holiday in North Korea each February 16, the anniversary of the birth of the country's second leader, evil despot thug murderer Kim Jong-il.

Along with the Day of the Sun, the birthday of his predecessor father Kim Il-sung, it is the most important public holiday in the country. What a ridiculous cult of stupid personality.

Kim Jong-il was born in 1941 in the Soviet Union ... naturally.

North Korean propaganda set the date of his birth at February 16, 1942. This places the birth at the Mount Paektu area in Korea. His birthday became an official holiday in 1982 when he began his work in the Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea. He celebrated his birthdays privately.

In 2012, the year following his death and the advent of his even more evil, more thuggish, worse murderer son, Kim Jong-Un the holiday was renamed the Day of the Shining Star.

This waste of a poor country's resources holds the most lavish observances in the capital Pyongyang and include mass gymnastics, music performances, fireworks displays, military demonstrations, and mass dancing parties.

The North Korean people receive more food rations and electricity than usual on the Day of the Shining Star.

Singles Awareness Day 2021
Happy Singles Awareness Day loser    
Talk about the ultimate whiner's consortium.

Today is Singles Awareness Day, aka Singles Appreciation Day hits us yet again on this February 15 and is said to be the antithesis of Valentine's Day.

The day is an unofficial holiday celebrated by single people and said to be a celebration of love in all forms recognizing the love between friends, family and loving yourself.

Singles Awareness Day is a time for single people to gather and either celebrate or commiserate in their single status.

Some want to remind romantic couples that they don't need to be in a relationship to celebrate life.

I personally view it all as a lot of whiny sour grapes on those who cannot satisfy their relationship urges for whatever reason.

I have no such issues myself.

Loser.

The 25th Amendment
choose your bomb    

 

The democrats in their never ending abuse of power. The liars like Adam Schiff, the stupid crook bitch Nancy Pelosi, the cretin Chuckie Shumer pursued President Donald Trump unjustly throughout his term.

Stupid people let it happen. We have devolved into a society where right is wrong and wrong is right.

The leftist, progressive element of the United States is leading us to civil war. When it happens I hope they don't ask for mercy for none will be given. Die leftists, Die progressives, Die foreigners, Die democrats.

On this day in 1967 The 25th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States was ratified and has since suffered never ending abuse from the democrat party abuse.

This Amendment (Amendment XXV) deals with presidential succession and disability.

It specifies that the vice president becomes president if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office, and establishes how a vacancy in the office of the vice president can be filled.

It provides for the temporary transfer of the president's powers and duties to the vice president, either on the initiative of the president alone or on the initiative of the vice president together with a majority of the president's cabinet. In either case, the vice president becomes acting president until the presidential powers and duties are returned to the president.

The amendment was submitted to the states on July 6, 1965, by the 89th Congress and was adopted on February 10, 1967, the day that the requisite number of states (38) had ratified it.

The democrats think they can manipulate the constitution to their own ends. They need to think again. Just like evey democrat on the planet they are a stupid group of individuals who should be rounded up and shoved up the ass of Katie Couric the marxist libtard bitch who thinks we need to be reprogrammed just because we're not stupid democrats like her.

Biden and Harris. Two crooked ass to the CORE democrats. Take your stupid pick America. You let the democrats steal the election and get away with it. We should be gathering them up right now and taking care of this mess they were allowed to create.

The Beatles appear on Sullivan in 1964

When I was 9 years old and living as a Navy brat in Virginia Beach, VA The Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show.

They took the US musical scene by storm and opened up the musical tastes of the country for other British acts to follow. I recall all the fandom sold at the local drug store which I frequented during that time frame.

Now I had my 'beatles era' and during that time I enjoyed their music fairly well. Over the years the somewhat controversial nature of the members of the band in general became somewhat disconcerting.

Despite all of this I never acquired the disdain of some of the younger folks with whom I worked. Jessica from GIS was particularly venomous in her evaluation of them as both a talent and their stage worthiness ... but can you expect from a young lady who was into Avenged Sevenfold and mech/monster thing she found personally attractive.

This was never an issue between us for I have always been a proponent of 'to each their own' and I was quick to keep my personal opinions from her by and large.

So where there were four there are now two. I feel fortunate to have shared the experience with my contemporaries but alas, I cannot choose for others in my midst.

Mary, Queen of Scots beheaded in 1587
    Mary Queen of Scots Death Mask
Mary, Queen of Scots is beheaded in Fotheringhay Castle for her alleged part in the conspiracy to usurp Elizabeth I.

The procedure was botched badly.

She was told she was to be executed on the seventh of February at Fotheringhay Castle.

Scaffolding with 2 or 3 steps was erected in the Great Hall and draped in black cloth.

It was furnished with a block, a cushion upon which she would kneel, and three stools for her and the earls of Shrewsbury and Kent, who were there to witness the execution.

The executioner Bull and his assistant knelt before her and asked forgiveness. She foregave them and requested they end all of her troubles.

Her servants, Jane Kennedy and Elizabeth Curle and the executioners helped Mary remove her outer garments, revealing a velvet petticoat and a pair of sleeves in crimson brown.

She was blindfolded by Kennedy with a white veil embroidered in gold, knelt down on the cushion in front of the block on which she positioned her head, and stretched out her arms.

Her final words were, In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum ("Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit").

She was not beheaded with a single strike.

The first blow missed her neck and struck the back of her head.

The second blow severed the neck, except for a small bit of sinew, which the executioner cut through using the axe.

Afterwards, he held her head aloft and declared, "God save the Queen."

At that moment, the auburn wig she was wearing caused her head fell to the ground, revealing that Mary had very short, grey hair.

When news of the execution reached Queen Elizabeth, she became somewhat angry then asserted that Davison had disobeyed her instructions not to part with the warrant and that the Privy Council had acted outside of her authority.

Mary's request to be buried in France was refused by Elizabeth.

Her body was embalmed and left in a secured lead coffin until her burial in a Protestant service at Peterborough Cathedral in late July 1587.

Lackadaisical Lottery Play

So lately I find my lottery play lacking enthusiasm and determination ... carelessly lazy where as I was once fastidious and attentive to the weekly 'ritual' thereof.

While I played powerball yet again today yesterday I totally blew off megamillions (my preferred game) and I've even skipped several lucky for life plays in the recent past.

None of these missed plays were consequential. All I did was save a little cash.

Really and truly I'm having issues figuring out just why I should bother in a state with too few regular 'big game' players to get a good mix going in the results. Most of the people around here play "scratchers" ... I think some of them enjoy more winnings than I do.

I'm thinking playing either the NC or GA jurisdictions may be much better over the long haul. SC is mostly just a loser with very few exceptions. I have questioned the number picking software from the beginning.
 

SC Education Lottery    

This habitual spending of $60 weekly has long been old and the returns are trivial to say the MOST.

Had I not been playing since 2002; had I not been playing essentially the same core numbers all this time; had I not stopped when the butt holes running those games changed the rules I likely would be better off.

So suffice it to say I will probably continue with this self persecution with this dildo called the sc education lottery.

It was began by a crook who took over as a former legislator. SC should rename itself 'cronies are us'. It has been handed off to several sets of subseqent dullards to run the thing. I don't reallty trust the game's implementation due to the unsavory management it has suffered from incept.

Alas, who is the duller dullard. The one running or the one playing the stupid game?

It's Morgan Fairchild's Birthday
    Morgan Fairchild
Aw, she's one of those women my generation has coveted as someone of desire and yes ... I have indulged

Simply eat up with all the cutness God had to spare !

She was born Patsy Ann McClenny February 3, 1950 and became an actress who graced primarily television beginning in soaps.

Anyway my personal favorite performance of hers is a cameo on Two and a half Men where she is at the local airport lounge where Alan took Charlie in an effort to make him feel less old and feeble.

The sexual innuendo was hilarious and I have actively sought this episode and clips thereof as a matter of personal interest.

​Anyway she is quite the lovely and funny lady who has entertained me to the nth degree without knowing me from Adam's housecat.

The Feast of Saint Geminianus
The Feast of Saint Geminianus Saint Geminianus, aka Saint Geminian, or Saint Gimignano was a fourth-century deacon who became Bishop of Modena.

He is mentioned in the year 390, when he sent a delegate named Aper to participate in a council called by Saint Ambrose in Milan. From his name, it is conjecture that Geminianus likely belonged to the caste of Roman senators.

Nothing more is directly known about him.

That which we do know is derived from biographies written much later in time.

It is said that when a Saint named Athanasius was entering exile in France, he passed through Modena and was received kindly by Geminianus. This same hospitality was afforded to Saint John Chrysostom. Saint Geminianus opposed Arianism and Jovinianism.
Arianism

Ar·i·an·ism
/ˈerēəˌnizəm/

noun from Christian Theology

an influential heresy denying the divinity of Christ, originating with the Alexandrian priest Arius ( c. 250– c. 336). Arianism maintained that the Son of God was created by the Father and was therefore neither coeternal with the Father, nor consubstantial.
Jovinianism

A heresy that Shocked the Church.

Jovinian was an ascetic monk in the fourth century who although he lived the ascetic life himself came to believe that there was little purpose in perpetual virginity or taking the vows of chastity.

Jovinian’s Life and Conclusions

Jovinian lived a profoundly ascetic life which included infrequent washing, eating only the simplest and least amounts of food possible and of course! avoiding ay interactionwith women. Over time, however, in Jovinians study of the Scriptures he came to believe that all baptised men and women were able to reach an equal level of holiness. And that in fact according to the New Testament Gospel of Matthew New and the Old Testament book Genesis all mankind had been called to marriage and procreation. Along with these views which he held he came to the conclusion that abstention from alcoholic substances or living a life of extreme vegetarianism produced no benefit whatever Jovinian was condemned by Pope Siricius and excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church many Christians followed him anyway which brought on criticism from St Jerome and St Augustine. St Jerome had some pretty radical views himself, believing that all sexual intercourse was unclean. Heresy and the Early Church Fathers St Jerome in particular was one of the early Church.
St Geminianus    
He likely died on January 31, 397.

Aspects of his veneration have always been present in Modena.

As early as the fifth century a church had been erected over his tomb, contiguous with the present cathedral and outside the center of the original Roman town.

In the early Middle Ages, moreover, Modena is often mentioned as Civitas Geminiana.

The Relatio translationis S. Giminiani, a manuscript of the twelfth century, describes the translation and recognition of the body of Saint Geminianus on 30 April 1106 and 7 October 1106, respectively, in the presence of Paschal II, Matilde di Canossa, and all of the Modenesi. A second recognition of the relics was made by Lucius III, on 12 July 1184, while on his way to Verona.

The people of Modena believe his miraculous intercession saved them from the invading Huns, when he conjured up dense fog that hid the city.

Geminianus rarely appears in art outside of Modena, but when shown is typically depicted as a bishop holding a mirror in which the Mary is reflected; a bishop holding a model of the town of Modena; a man calming a storm at sea; or a man exorcising the daughter of the Byzantine emperor Jovian.

He is also venerated in Tuscany, especially in the eponymous town of San Gimignano, and in Pontremoli. A Church of St Geminianus opposite St Mark's Basilica, in Venice's Piazza San Marco, was demolished in 1807 as part of the reorganisation of the west side of the square during the Napoleonic era.
