I was going to get a cat today but I decided to order pizza instead.

□ [“Van Halen - "Unfinished"]

Suppose I should have expected this, Alex has actually been promoting his autobiography and is apparently doing a good job of promotion.  Off the top of my head, I'm not aware of him ever saying anything in public, but here he is now.  So this is a clever tactic to push it.  He's the only one with access to Eddie Van Halen's leftovers, or at least he's in charge.

I think it's very nice, just guitars, keyboards and drums.  It does seem very slowed down compared to most Van Halen, and it doesn't have any real direction the way a catchy song would, but if you need six more minutes of EVH and are tired of the old stuff, here you go.  He died over four years ago and hadn't done much in the 21st century anyway.

Two tracks on an LL Cool J album in 2013, because of course.  In 2003 he played "Joy to the World" on a Steve Lukather Christmas album and I can't believe I just wrote that.  And in 2012 there was the album with David Lee Roth which was mostly old stuff that wasn't good enough to use in the first place.  Until now, that was it for Eddie Van Halen's released music since the album with Gary Cherone in 1998.

If there's more to offer, I assume more will come out soon.  I'd also expect that they released the best stuff first, so there will be diminishing returns, but the novelty will help.  Officially this track is not "Van Halen" but come on, what else could you call it?  It's Eddie and Alex Van Halen, the only permanent members of the band named after them.  I have not been able to find when this track was recorded though.

□ [“Pro-Kamala Groups Air Pro-P*rn Ad"]

Someone actually decided that they needed to film a boy masturbating and that would convince whoever's willing to watch that to vote for Harris.  I get the impression the group making this ad likes watching that anyway and they just wanted an excuse to promote it.  "Let's pretend Trump's going to ban porn!  The people who agree with us politically will believe it!'

If it really was planned, this may be why Trump knew the 2020 election would be stolen, so that he'd run again in four years and the left would need to make all this nonsense up that can't even fool all of their own people, much less anybody else.  The fact that they're even trying this proves how fundamentally unhinged they are.

Whoopi Goldberg just said that Trump would make interracial marriage illegal, with no proof that Trump has even mentioned "interracial marriage" in his entire life, much less that he has the slightest interest one way or the other.  She's paid to go on television and say this.  There are people who listen to her.

□ [“Black Male Michigan Voter Tells CNBC Efforts to Falsely Smear Trump Aren’t Working"]

It's anecdotal, but it does sound like fewer and fewer people are going along with this.  They can see that their paychecks don't buy as much as they used to and Democrats support that.  They can see that criminals get away with anything with political support, they see the trans and 'global warming' movements always demand more power and money.  They also see the people who support this calling Trump a nazi, but don't actually see Trump acting like a nazi.

This is "The Emperor's New Clothes" on a global scale.  You might wonder why the story ended that way, why didn't the crowd and the Emperor's men tell the child he was too stupid to see the fine garments the emperor was wearing?  Or, in the modern trend, they'd call the kid "racist."  A lot of blacks and Jews and Muslims and other Democratic voters went to see Trump in Madison Square Garden.

□ [“'Don’t Think You’re in Donald Trump’s Club – You’re Not!' – Kamala Harris Uses Fake Accent to Shame Black Men"]

Do you have any proof that they think they're in Trump's club?  Do you have any evidence that they want to be in Trump's club?  Is there any indication that they even think in terms of "clubs" in the first place?  This is an example of leftists making up whatever they want to "prove" themselves right about something and not even bothering to look into reality.  They don't want to vote for her because she's an idiot who was installed by people who ignore elections, that means they should vote for Trump.  A much simpler explanation that's much closer to reality, and she'd never even think of that.  Nor would anybody who supports her.

□ [“Multiple Federal Agencies Raid Brooklyn Detention Center Holding P. Diddy and Sam Bankman-Fried"]

This could be going after the people around either of them, or someone who's not famous but was arrested for similar reasons.  Or it could be to cover up any of this.  I can't even find a list of what federal agencies were involved other than the Bureau of Prisons and the DOJ's Inspector General.

But what's the point of a raid like this?  They're federal agents, they deal with prisons regularly, why couldn't they just make a standard appointment and show up with whatever authority they have?  It's a bit unclear, the use of "raid" may not be the way we normally think of it.  The description is given for a  "task force" of agents and investigators in an ‘interagency operation.’

They'd have to watch over each other, especially for interagency conflicts.  They'd have different goals and different sources of information.  There's also the worry that someone in the prison is some sort of bioweapon, or other tool which most of us couldn't even comprehend.  Maybe there's space aliens locked up there.  We'll never know but this still shows that *something* is going on.
