THE GUARDIAN OF MYSTERY ISLAND (1896): ANCIENT SCIENCE FICTION

Guardian of Mystery IslandTHE GUARDIAN OF MYSTERY ISLAND (1896) – Written by Dr Edmond Molcini. Mystery Island lies off the coast of Maine and everyone near the coast considers the place haunted by a true monstrosity – a large ghost-dog.

Sam Lenartson, the hero of the story, is new to the region and is bemused by the superstitious whispers about Mystery Island. He decides to investigate by sailing over to the place but can’t find anyone willing to brave the isle with him.

Sam arrives alone and, though he hears distant barking of an apparently large canine when he follows the sounds he finds a small dog and its owner. That owner is a very, very, VERY old French woman who is either senile or insane. She says she has been around since the 1790s, kept alive by chewing what she calls “Devil Weed.” Continue reading

DEMOCRATS TO VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT VIOLENCE: DROP DEAD

Stolen Lives QuiltThe increasing unwillingness of American citizens to vote for the Left-Wing Archie Bunkers who call themselves Democrats has made DemCorp even more fanatical about increasing the numbers of illegal immigrants who enter the country. Democrats have alienated most of us who used to belong to their political party (the Republicans, meanwhile, are clueless buffoons and worse) so they are frantically trying to legalize millions of illegal immigrants so they can vote for Democrats.

ShataviaDemocrats are also always trying to give voting rights to convicted felons as well because they know felons will not only VOTE for Democrats but very likely already ARE Democrats. Plus the Democrats are always trying to lower the voting age to 16 because they know people that young are naïve enough to vote for Democrats.

But right now all that matters to America’s politicians and to Corporate Fascists like Mark “Skippy” Zuckerberg are illegal immigrants. Bloated rich pigs want to lower the median wage – plus recently Zuckerberg EXPRESSED DISMAY THAT – IN ONE AREA ALONE – OVER 750,000 JOBS THAT COULD HAVE GONE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WILL INSTEAD GO TO AMERICAN CITIZENS. Oh, the horror of it all!

Victims of Illegal Immigrants

********************* Remember the victims of illegal immigrants – they and their loved ones are the people who really “live in the shadows.”

American Liberals like to pretend they are “compassionate” and “caring” but that pretended concern is very selective and goes only one way.

Grieving mother Maureen Maloney was one of the untold thousands of Americans to lose a loved one to people who illegally cross our border with Mexico and then go on to commit other crimes.

Maloney’s 23 year-old son Matthew was hit by a repeat-offending illegal alien drunk driver. Although Matthew survived the initial crash, he died as he was subsequently dragged a quarter of a mile—caught in the wheel well of the illegal alien’s pick up truck— as the alien sought to flee the crime scene. “Witnesses who saw [Matthew] pinned screaming under the truck ran out and pounded on the vehicle, crying out to the driver who kept going…'[Matthew] was alive for a good portion of it,’” wrote a correspondent.

American Liberals, who pretend to be so “caring” always ignore these frequent tragedies. They can’t exploit such events to fit their political narrative, you see, so they turn a blind eye to them. Had an American citizen struck an illegal immigrant and dragged them along, killing them in an attempt to flee, that Mexican’s name would be known worldwide now. 

The Democratic Party (Slogan: “Oppressing others while posing as the oppressed”) would have launched one of its internet and social media memes about the incident. Democrats would go in front of the cameras to make political capital out of the death and for their usual drama queen antics.  

democratic party donkey

The Party that represents illegal immigrants but NEVER American citizens. That would be so gauche.

American Liberals always practice this philosophy  – “Something bad happened, so do what we say to do or else it means you are a hater.” They never care about people like this young man’s mother. Liberals will launch no hashtags about her son’s pointless death. There will be no Hollywood movies made about the tragedy. 

Democrats love to whine “If it saves even one life …” about actions the Democrats want done but, trust me, they will NEVER say “If it saves even one life isn’t it worth it to FINALLY secure our southern border?”  

Even Republicans like John Kasich have vowed to pursue amnesty to all illegal immigrants. Maureen Maloney’s public response was to ask Kasich to “visit the grave of my murdered child.” That will never happen of course. Instead, callous, comfortable and uncaring American Liberals prefer to accuse the citizens who mourn the dead victims of illegal immigrants of being (yawn) “racists” and “haters.” 

If Maureen’s heart-breaking request for Kasich to visit her son’s grave furthered the narrative of the pro-illegal immigration crowd then, trust me, EVERY SINGLE ELECTED OFFICIAL would be forced to answer – over and over and over again – questions about what their own feelings are regarding the tragedy. 

Virtually no attention is paid by our politicians to grieving families who have lost loved ones to murders committed by people who illegally crossed our (still unsecured) border with Mexico. Or those families who’ve had loved ones raped or assaulted by those illegal immigrants – and over 600,000 documented crimes have been committed by illegal immigrants  in recent years.

Many of them committed by Mexican criminals WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CAUGHT and either were not deported or were deported but simply strolled right back across our perpetually unsecured southern border. The victims of these repeat offenders and the loved ones of those victims are the people who REALLY “live in the shadows.” ++

(For overseas readers I’ll clarify that last line. Liberal hypocrites like to coyly – and publicly, of course – agonize on behalf of illegal immigrants. A line they’re fond of using is that those illegal immigrants are forced to “live in the shadows.” Uh. Yeah. Who’d have thought you might experience difficulties for making the conscious decision to enter a country illegally? Astonishing.)

UNSURE ABOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL PICKS? LOAD UP ON DATA FROM THE EXPERTS

College footballCollege football season 2017 has just gotten underway but is already proving that it’s harder than ever to make picks.

My own personal opinion is that the overabundance of details to be had in this internet age creates a virtual “fog of war” and makes it even more difficult to separate vital information from mere noise. Sites like Yahoo Sports or even outright sports machines like Sports Illustrated often get too clever for their own good. 

Cutting through the confusion calls for an approach like the one in this article  which omits the tiresome name-dropping that the guys at those other sites are so dependent upon. Continue reading
