There is an active effort by Democrats in Congress to make Diwali a Federal holiday. What *is* Diwali? It's a foreign religious celebration wholly alien to American history and culture. But more... it's fricken' *nasty.* Behold:
So all this time - Diwali was about worshipping shit because they believe the holy spirit lives in it. And literally shaping cow shit into little demon idols with your bare hands.
All the literal bullshit about “festival of light” and “the triumph of good over evil” were just global homo packaging.
It’s amazing that Vivek tried to compare this to Christianity - and Glenbeck agreed with him; after platforming this message on live television as part of election coverage.

The Lockheed “Harvey,” initial concept for a low radar cross section strike platform that eventually became the F-117. This is sometimes known as the "Wobbly Goblin..." its RCS would have been impressively low, but it would have been a terrible airplane.

Don't do this. Nossir. It would be... wrong, I guess?

Sigh. This behavior will be used by the hoplophobes in the new Congress to get guns banned for the rest of us. And they'll still have these guns, because they didn't get them legally in the first damn place.
I suspect this is some sort of satire video... but it's satire that would seem to be very, very factually accurate.

There are some important lessons here. One of the big ones is "charity is nice and all, but sometimes ya gotta say NO."
There are other ones. On topics such as "if ya can't feed 'em..." and "let's not import this culture."

See, now this is a prank that's played on unsuspecting random strangers that *shouldn't* end in a gunshot and jail time for any surviving pranksters. This is good natured and non threatening and frankly hilarious.
This is called the Rocky Running prank, and they do it in England at a park. I can't love this more!
That's what a 'prank' looks like. With everyone smiling and laughing at the end. No trauma. No hurt feelings. Just all round fun.
The fact they can play their instruments and run at the same time is quite impressive.

You don't have to be Black to be Bantu?
I don't understand why so many people can't understand that "English" is an ethnicity. One does not choose or change ones ethnicity.
I *do* understand those who fully know this, but are simply trying to erase the ethnic English. Villains.

OK, if this is the level of competence the Dems have, maybe they might not be able to do too much damage between now and '28.

In 1986 I was *peak* Star Trek nerd (I'm vastly more mature and dignified now. Never mind the wall of starships...). I caught this live and laughed myself fuzzy.
Those were the days, when Trekkies/ers could laugh at ourselves. Now there's just... sadness and despair.
William Shatner spent YEARS apologising for this joke!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
William Shatner has not spent years apologizing for the 1986 SNL "Get a Life" sketch. He has described it as exaggerated comedy meant in fun, received more praise than criticism at the time, and later embraced fandom in his book and documentary of the same name.

1/ There was a time when American auto manufacturers had aerospace divisions. Chrysler was responsible for rockets such as the Redstone, Jupiter, the Saturn I & Ib first stage.
In late 1956, Lovell Lawrence Jr, an assistant chief engineer at the missiles division of Chrysler,...
