June is Accordion Awareness Month. Presenting the Smirnov Orchestra -- the finest accordion orchestra in the world. Enjoy.
ITEM 1: WTIC-TV reported, "A flag hanging from a cable at a construction site at Central Connecticut State University drew some attention Saturday night, because for several people the cable ended in what resembled a noose.
"The university says it was not a noose. Rather, the construction company had hoisted an American flag for the holiday weekend, and the cable ended in a loop for a cable hook."
The NAACP guy said, "Regardless of what someone else says about that, what I see, as a Black man? That's a noose. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Take it down."
The university promised to take it down.
Wow, more than a century of marching and sacrifices have paid off. The NAACP now has the power to regulate knots.
I like how this whole perception thing works. The NAACP guy sees something he does not like, calls it racist, and gets it removed because of his perception. Intent does not matter. Utility does not matter. Nope, we just go by whatever some NAACP guy is feeling at any particular moment.
Other stories at the WTIC-TV site included, "Noose made from toilet paper found at CREC school in New Britain, juvenile arrested."
The site runs all the noose that fits.
ITEM 2: Space.com reported, "Solar activity refers to the state of the sun’s magnetic field and associated phenomena: sunspots, flares, solar wind and coronal ejections. During periods of minimal solar activity, such events are often uncommon and weak. During solar maximum, they’re at their strongest and most frequent. Magnetic field fluctuations on the sun can happen on drastically different timescales, ranging from seconds all the way to billions of years. When astronomers speak of a slowdown or a period of quiescence in the sun’s activity, it doesn’t mean the sun will stop shining, but that there’s a slowdown in activity.
"The sun has one particular rhythm, lasting approximately 11 years, in which its polar magnetic field flips polarity. Sunspots serve as an indicator of this change. Indeed, it’s often known as the sunspot cycle.
"Although sunspots themselves were first observed in detail by Galileo, Christoph Scheiner and others from 1609 onwards, according to the British Library, the cyclical nature of their appearance and disappearance was first noted in 1775 by Danish astronomer Christian Horrebow."
Fewer sunspots, colder Earth.
For political reasons, our scientists cannot reveal that the Earth is getting colder. This is a fine corner we painted ourselves in.
ITEM 3: Steve Sailer reported, "Gun murders are up 34.4% in the 365 days since George Floyd’s death.
"According to data scraped from Gun Violence Archive, in the Year One B.F. (Before Floyd) from May 25, 2019, to May 24, 2020, there were 13,024 murders committed with a firearm in the U.S. In contrast, in the Year One A.F. (After Floyd) from May 25, 2020, to May 24, 2021, there were 17,499 gun murders, an increase of 4,475 corpses."
Most of the victims are black.
Black lives do not matter to Black Lives Matter. Only communism does.
ITEM 4: Who says there are no jobs in Britain?
Just remember, chicken whisperers, that the CDC has issued a warning on kissing chickens.
ITEM 5: The Daily Mail reported, "Liberal media reporters and pundits admitted over the weekend they were wrong to dismiss the Wuhan lab leak theory just because it was espoused by former President Donald Trump."
Honey, they are not admitting a dang thing. They are just blaming him for their lies now that they have been caught.
They also were wrong about Russian Collusion.
The Ukrainian phone call.
Getting unemployment down to 3.5%.
Given his track record, you can take his word to the bank.
Given their record, their word belongs in the outhouse.
ITEM 6: Craig Bruce Smith wrote, "Renaming U.S. Army Bases Should Start with America’s Unrecognized Veterans."
That's a good idea. He suggested a black guy and a woman who posed as a man to get in the army. They are obscure and were not on the level of a Hood or a Bragg.
I have a better list.
Let us start with Tadeusz Kościuszko, the father of military engineering in America. He built and fortified West Point, a critical post in the American Revolution. Fellow Pole Casimir Pulaski, the father of the cavalry, already has a Fort Pulaski. It was Confederate fort. Oopsy-daisy.
Fort Donehogawa would honor the American Indian Union general who was there when Lee surrendered. He was so dark, Lee thought he was a black man. We would call it Fort Parker, as Donehogawa took Ely Samuel Parker as his white name
How about honoring one of the paratroopers who landed a glider at Normandy on D-Day? He was a judge who at age 39, needed special permission to join the Army. He was no ticket-puncher. He earned 18 decorations, medals and awards, including the Legion of Merit with Oak Leaf Cluster, Bronze Star with Valor device, Purple Heart, World War II Victory Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, Belgium's Order of the Crown, and France's Croix de Guerre.
Fort Strom Thurmond.
ITEM 7: Breitbart reported, "President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security may consider a plan to bring deported illegal aliens back to the United States, presumably paid for by American taxpayers.
"The open borders lobby shared a plan with the Biden administration to bring illegal aliens deported by former President Donald Trump’s administration back to the U.S., according to the Associated Press. More than 935,000 illegal aliens were deported by the Trump administration.
"The plan, open borders activists with the corporate-backed National Immigrant Justice Center suggest, could be done through executive order by Biden and create an office inside DHS that allows deported illegal aliens to submit requests to return to the U.S."
Open borders means death to America.
Now you know why Democrats side with Iran. They share the same goal.
ITEM 8: ABC reported, "A bystander who rushed to help when an officer was attacked in San Francisco said the suspect "had a death grip on her."
"The officer responded Friday evening to a report of a person making threats, and after making contact with the suspect, the suspect assaulted her, the San Francisco Police Department said.
"Michael Waldorf said he saw the Asian female officer pull up to the scene, walk over to the suspect and tell him to turn around."
" 'He turned around put his hands behind his head,' Waldorf said, but then, 'I saw him grab her, pull her to the ground. He had a death grip on her. He was holding on very tightly to her, squeezing her, squeezing her head and pulling her hair.'
"Several bystanders rushed to the officer's side, including Waldorf."
Defund the Police?
America says, No. Defend the Police.
However, Kane at Citizen Free Press pointed out, "Female cop can’t handle San Fran perp."
Ouch.
ITEM 9: Must Read Alaska reported, "In spite of pleas from Sen. Lisa Murkowski and others, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Coast Guard still say that fishing personnel must wear masks aboard boats.
"For many Alaska fishermen, having a mask over their nose and mouth during fishing operations is akin to being waterboarded, as wet, slimy masks are difficult to breathe through, create visual barriers, and prevent communication."
I can't breathe.
Defund the CDC.
ITEM 10: The Daily Mail reported, "The National Security Agency used a partnership with Denmark's foreign intelligence to spy on senior officials, according to Danish state broadcaster DR.
"The findings are the result of an internal investigation in the Danish Defense Intelligence Service from 2015 into NSA's role in the partnership The NSA used Danish information cables to spy on senior officials in Sweden, Norway, France and Germany, including German chancellor Angela Merkel."
Good.
I am all for spying on foreign leaders because they sure as heck spy on ours.
ITEM 11: The Epoch Times reported, "Google Hit With Lawsuit Over Data Collection Schemes."
The story said, "Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich says that Google continues to collect location data even after users turn off tracking on their smartphones and other devices, citing concerns from company employees about its data-collection practices, in the latest update of a lawsuit against the tech giant.
"According to documents that were submitted in court by Brnovich’s office last week, emails that were sent among Google engineers expressed concerns about the company’s location data collection efforts after an Associated Press report in 2018; the engineers suggested that they believed the AP article was correct."
Bring the Internet oligarchs to justice.

ITEM 13: Just the News reported, "Texas House Democrats on Sunday night staged a walkout to block their Republican counterparts’ sweeping voter-reform legislation.
"The move blocked the passage of the bill by effectively ending the Texas legislature’s session. However, GOP Gov. Greg Abbott quickly announced that he would order a special session to finish the process, and achieve a top state GOP legislative priority.
"The walkout is one of Democrats’ biggest protests to date against Republican efforts across the country to enact measures to tighter security on state election systems, according to the Associated Press.
"Abbott said the bill, which had already passed the GOP-controlled state Senate, failing to reach his desk for signature was deeply disappointing, but he did not say when he would call for the special session."
I trust he will hold it before the next election.
ITEM 14: The president issued a statement on Monday, which read, "On this Memorial Day, we remember the fallen heroes who took their last breaths in defense of our Nation, our families, our citizens, and our sacred freedoms. The depth of their devotion, the steel of their resolve, and the purity of their patriotism has no equal in human history. On distant battlefields, in far-off oceans, and high in the skies above, they faced down our enemies and gave their lives so that America would prevail. They made the supreme sacrifice so that our people can live in safety and our Nation can thrive in peace. It is because of their gallantry that we can together, as one people, continue our pursuit of America’s glorious destiny."
God bless Donald John Trump.
ITEM 15: Gizmodo reported, "Twitter is one of many social media companies that’s struggled to keep misinformation from running rampant on its platform over the years. Its latest attempt to move the needle looks to be a tiered warning label system that changes based on how wrong you are, according to app researcher Jane Manchun Wong."
This will not apply to NYTAnon, WaPoAnon, CNNAnon, or any of the other mainstream media promoters of such conspiracy theories as Russian Collusion, the Ukraine phone call, and covid 19 not originating in a Red Chinese lab.
Forget Twitter. It is no more interested in the truth than I am interested in rap music.
I use Twitter to promote my blog posts and for news tips. No more free content for them.
ITEM 16: The Post Millennial reported, "BLM activist steps down from school board after allegations he molested up to 62 children
"Denver School Board director-at-large Tay Anderson, a fervent Black Lives Matter activist, is accused of molesting over 60 undocumented students, using the residency status of the children to target kids as young as 14-years-old."
I have railed against the parents of illegal aliens. Sending a child north unaccompanied is a predator's delight. Small wonder Democrats and DC Republicans support illegal immigration.
That said, prosecute Anderson and ask him to get castrated.
ITEM 17: KTUL reported, "A stretch of highway in the Oklahoma panhandle will be named after former U.S. President Donald Trump. Governor Kevin Stitt signed Senate Bill 624 on Thursday along with 41 other bills."
The story also said, "According to the bill, a section of State Highway 287 that begins in Boise City, will extend 20 miles and end on the southeast Oklahoma-Texas border."
That's a start.
West Virginia should rename a few of these Byrd Highways we have after The Donald, Ivanka, Junior, Eric, Tiffany, and Barron.
ITEM 18: Reuters reported, "South Korea exports logged their sharpest expansion in 32 years in May, marking another robust month of shipments fueled by stronger consumer demand globally as many economies start to reopen.
"Surging chip and car shipments helped power a 45.6% surge in South Korea’s exports from a year earlier, government data showed on Tuesday, posting the fastest growth since August 1988 and extending their expansion to a seventh month in a row.
"Exports growth, however, slightly missed a consensus of a 48.5% gain in a Reuters poll.
"Asia’s fourth-largest economy is the first major exporting economy to report monthly trade data that includes key IT products and the strength of its exports could further build confidence in a global economic recovery."
Good.
We need a viable and reliable alternative to Red China while we get back in the manufacturing game ourselves.
ITEM 19: Politico reported, "Listen closely to French Defense Minister Florence Parly and it almost sounds like France is going to miss Donald Trump’s bullying at June’s NATO summit.
"It’s not that Parly, or her president, Emmanuel Macron, don’t welcome the United States’ return to diplomatic form under President Joe Biden. They are delighted, she says.
"However, France is also worried the renewed transatlantic lovefest will slow, or even halt, an awakening among Europeans on the need to spend more on defense — something Trump encouraged at higher, harsher volume than his predecessors."
Savvy Europeans know Donald Trump was a warning. The next conservative American president will be even less enthralled to pay for Europe's defense.
ITEM 20: Just the News reported, "A small business group on Monday evening sued Major League Baseball, its commissioner Rob Manfred and the head of professional baseball players union Tony Clark alleging their efforts to move this summer’s All-Star game from Atlanta to protest Georgia’s new election integrity law unlawfully inflicted staggering damages on businesses in the region.
"The suit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan by the Job Creators Network alleges MLB violated the Klu Klux Klan Act of 1871 and committed tortious interference in business by canceling the game over a political matter.
"It seeks damages of at least $100 million for the businesses of Atlanta as well as an order to restore the game this summer to the Atlanta Braves home stadium, Truist Park."
When virtue signaling begins to carry a price, we will suffer less virtue signaling.
ITEM 21: CNBC reported, "The Supreme Court is expected to release a decision in the coming days that could provide the first glimpses of how its 6-3 conservative majority will shape the future of LGBT rights.
"The case, known as Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, No. 19-123, is a fight over a city policy that bars discrimination based on sexual orientation. Citing the policy, Philadelphia dropped a contract with a Roman Catholic foster agency that said its beliefs didn’t allow it to certify same-sex couples for adoption. The agency, Catholic Social Services, brought a lawsuit alleging that Philadelphia violated its First Amendment religious rights.
"The dispute was argued in November and a decision is expected before the court’s term wraps up at the end of June, which also happens to be Pride Month, a historic time of celebration in the LGBT community. The Supreme Court is expected to release its next opinions on Tuesday, though it does not say in advance which ones are coming."
This should be an open-and-shut case of a city's discrimination against Catholics.
But notice how CNBC framed the issue.
Gay couples can go elsewhere to adopt. There are other agencies. But as with the cake decorator, gay activists will not tolerate straights any longer.
The 21st century is quite bizarre as the kudzu of division introduced in the 1970s takes over.
FINALLY, this will be the only accordion video this year. People got my point about June being gay pride month. It got out of hand.
