Friday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson ridiculed the media and those claiming “progress” in Afghanistan in the wake of the collapse of the U.S.-installed government in Kabul in an abbreviated amount of time.
Carlson noted the U.S. military equipment left behind, which he described as the Biden administration arming the Taliban and marooning its own citizens.

We’d like to take this opportunity to let everyone know that from here forward anti-Semitism and misogyny will not be tolerated. We’re sorry this step had to be taken but a few people are out of hand; we hope they will tone down their comments so further action won’t be neccessary. Thank you all for participating and contributing to Blazingcatfur – it’s the readers and commenters who make this blog a success.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, Health Minister Tyler Shandro, and Chief Medical Officer just a few weeks ago were absolutely right when they explained that we need to learn to live with COVID-19 and that the goal some tout to have zero COVID is unrealistic. Regardless, in politics, people rarely stay on the right side of an issue for long, so Kenney has dropped Albertans back into a mask-mandate and the Alberta government is now offering unvaccinated people $100 to get vaccinated.
Opinions are sharply divided on party lines. A majority of Republicans, 53 percent, believe public health officials are lying, compared to 26 percent of Democrats and 35 percent of independent voters who say the same.

Journal Nature: COVID lockdowns are key to begin ‘personal carbon allowances’
Journal article urges for “the need for a low-carbon recovery from the COVID-19 crisis” by using “personal carbon allowances (PCAs).” “A PCA scheme would entail all adults receiving an equal, tradable carbon allowance that reduces over time in line with national targets…encompassing individuals’ carbon emissions relating to travel, space heating, water heating and electricity.” … “Allowances were envisioned to be deducted from the personal budget with every payment for transport fuel, home-heating fuels and electricity bills. People in shortage would be able to purchase additional units in the personal carbon market from those with excess to sell. New, more ambitious PCA proposals include economy-wide emissions, encompassing food, services and consumption-related carbon emissions, for example.”

In the summer of ’72, I lent my Led Zeppelin 4 album to a girl down the street, Karen F., and in turn she lent me Black Sabbath – Paranoid (which included War Pigs) and Alice Cooper – Love It To Death. It was a life changing experience at 12 years old! I had purchased the new Led Zeppelin album during Easter break because Robin W., who sat near me on the school bus liked Black Dog on the radio. She was a year older than me and reached ‘early physical maturity’ in a large way. Believe me she was impressed I had LZ IV!
We have a new category called ‘Chicks Can’t Rock’ & I’m gonna torture y’all with it. 😉 Oh and BTW, I used to be the sound guy for a band – do you have any idea how hard it is to play rhythm guitar and sing? Okay, now think about playing lead and singing at the same time. Crazy hard, eh? This woman is playing both rhythm and lead and singing, the guy on stage with her is only playing bass. Show a little respect for her talent.
San Diego parents are suing the State of California for including Aztec prayers in state-approved curricula, the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation (CFER) said in a press release Friday.
