The story behind the music video is even better.

“This video is shot in my home town of Athens, Alabama. The actors are my family and friends,” Howard writes in a press release. “Terry Crews plays a man who isn’t out to change the world, he plays a man who just wants to come home to those who understand and love him best. We see his inner beauty, grace and humanity in a place that is so often misunderstood.”

I love that this was done by someone from Alabama who loves Alabama, and doesn’t take The Daily Show or The New York Times view of Alabama, which is a place of unrelenting racism and ubiquitous grinding poverty.

Also, Terry Crews seems like a really nice guy.

How did Terry Crews come to appear in the video? Simple. Brittany Howard asked (she also makes a cameo).

“I got an email from the Brittany Howard, asking me to be a part of a song she wrote that was all about her dad and how special he was to the family. And she poured her heart out in this letter. I couldn’t believe it,” Terry Crews recalls. “Brittany was like, ‘We can shoot it in L.A.,’ and I said, ‘No, I’m coming to you, we’re going to Alabama. We’re going to where you grew up, to where your family is.”

That’s just beautiful.

And the greatest advances of Liberal & Multiculturalism is to criticize if somebody “prohibited” is dressed as a Mexican on Cinco de Mayo, the churning of abortions in a grand scale and the needled exchange program.

And Common Core Math.

WTOP bills itself as Washington’s Top News.

They decided to do a story on one of the major figures of the Space Race and Apollo missions, Wernher von Braun.

It went to hell in a woke basket.

2019 is remarkably stupid.  And so is the staff at WTOP.

I think it is a time for a little bit of history from MIT and UC Santa Cruz professor,  Tom Lehrer.

Von Braun was the director of Marshall Space Flight Center, which is practically my back yard, and is also the namesake of the convention center in Huntsville.

Since we most likely not made it to space without von Braun, and defiantly not beaten to Soviets to the moon if they got him, much of our accomplishments in the space race relied on a surrendered ex-Nazi who handed over all of his research to the US in Operation Paperclip.

But woke being woke, America’s space program is fruit of the poisions Nazi tree.

I’m glad I will get to experience the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing this year because by the 60th anniversary, the space race is going to be memory holed and any mention of the early days of NASA will be decried as racist as the Betsy Ross flag.

The New York Daily News is a very Left wing paper.

Remember they are the ones that published multiple front page images of the NRA president as a terrorist or blaming terrorist attacks on the NRA.

Well, today is the 50th Anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11.

This was the Tweet they sent out:

I didn’t know it was possible to get so much wrong in 140 characters while trying to be factual.

At least the moon landing conspiracy theorists get the name of the astronaut right.

Then it dawned on me.

The moon landing is one of the most heavily documented events in modern American history.  There are more books and documentaries about it than I can count.  Still, some New York Daily News staffer decides to shoot a Tweet from the hip and bumblefucks it.

So out there is some millennial staffer who, literally, everything he knows is wrong.  Just factually wrong.  And he thinks it’s right.  Right enough to send his wrongness out into the world unchecked.

Then there was this from a couple of days ago.  A millennial writer had a breakdown because her editor told her that hamster was spelled “hamster” and not “hampster” and the writer believed that her work was perfect without editing and that her way of spelling wasn’t wrong, just “creative.”

If you want to know why Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is why she is the way she is.  Why millennials love socialism and believe President Trump is literally the second coming of Hitler and detention centers are actual Nazi concentration camps.  Why politics has become so ridiculously stupid.

This is why.

We have a generation of kids who every thing they know is wrong.  Factually inaccurate wrong.

And they think they are right enough to publish their wrongness with authority.

The good news is that I have come up with a plan to fix our nation.

Knowing the millennials’ propensity for wrongness, we just need to spend the next year-and-a-half convincing the internet that election day for everyone born after 1989 is the second Tuesday following the second Monday in November, like how in college upperclassman registration is on a different day than freshman registration.

I figure with a concerted effort on social media, we can right this ship easy in 2020.

Rest assured that does not happen. If gators were affected for what drugs are dropped in the water, South Florida would have had an issue with gators doing 75 mph down the Palmetto Expressway. Do you know how many bales of coke have been dropped in the Everglades? I rest my case.

This is an interesting example of why lynchings, as satisfactory as they can be, end up creating more problems than solutions. South Dakota’s Supreme Court vacated the initial verdict of three individuals involved in murder and the State had already lined up two of them as prosecution witness to go after the rest of the gang.

But the mob got the freed Indians, lynched them and now the prosecution has no case to pursue against the rest: They get to go free. And I reckon with the eyes of the governor and the State Supreme Court, probably pissed off at the blatant disregard for their decision  indeed they went away. Crime went unpunished.

Bravo.

Already bought the missus her B-Day gift and although early, she has it already. I have to say same day delivery free was a nice touch. I think in total I saved 50%.

And for me:

We have the Gen 1 and it is reaching its capacity,. Allegedly this one will buffer movies and apps better and for $15, it tipped the scales .
And before you scream privacy, yes, I will disable the microphone my way, physically. A hot needle and Gorilla Crazy Glue should do the trick nicely. You can bypass software limitations but mechanical destruction its a bit more difficult to overcome.
