On April 18th & 19th, the Battle of Lexington & Concord was fought, and on April 30th, Vice Admiral Graves ordered Captain Lindsey [Linzee] of the HMS Falcon to proceed to “Tarpawlin Cove” with all possible dispatch to obtain food supplies for the surrounded British troops. /4

On April 16, 1775, a British war Sloop, the HMS Falcon, arrived from England to support the British army in Boston, and was almost immediately ordered to “hawl as far into Gallows Creek to the Southward of Boston as possible” to deter any advance by the Rebels on Boston. /3

In 1775, my 8x-g-grandfather Elisha Nye was the innkeeper at Tarpaulin Cove on Naushon Island, one of the Elizabeth Islands, NW of Martha’s Vineyard, on Buzzard’s Bay, and SE of what later became New Bedford. His clientele were mostly whalers, fishermen, and smugglers. /2

Chairman Meow and Odysseus are very relieved that Greenies are manufactured in Kansas, that Churu cat treats are manufactured in Japan and Thailand, and that Vital Essentials Freeze-dried Minnows are manufactured in Wisconsin. They were up all night worrying.

Thanks. I started explaining these facts last month in posts to X, after this ridiculous snow job was announced.

Odysseus had an excellent night’s sleep last night, just finished eating his breakfast, then chased and thrashed his poor brother Chairman Meow on the way back upstairs, so now it’s time for a long afternoon nap! What a busy schedule!

I await with great interest the reaction in the MAGAt manosphere to the criminalization not only of producing and distributing pornography, but also of viewing it! From the Project 2025 website:

I hope, whether you’re Christian or not, a believer or a non-believer, it brings as much joy and satisfaction into your life as it has into ours!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! /2

If you have an oldest child who’s insisting Santa isn’t “real,” while your younger ones still believe, here’s how my family taught our kids that Santa is as REAL as can be, & how we introduced them to the USPS’s “Operation Santa,” which has become central to our annual celebrations. /1

Why doesn’t the MSM even bother noting anymore that under Article II, §4 of the Constitution, the FBI Director, as a civil officer requiring Senate approval, can only be removed upon impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate?

Too quaint for these post-modern, post-rule-of-law times?

They’re beautiful! Glad I found you again. Chairman Meow and Odysseus say hello.
