A linguistics professor at Harvard was lecturing his class the other day.

He said, " in English, a double negative forms a positive. However, in some other languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative ."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

A visitor to Harvard asks a professor, "Excuse me, but would you be good enough to tell me where the Harvard Library is at?"

"Sir," came the sneering reply, "at Harvard we do not end a sentence with a preposition."

"Well, in that case, forgive me," said the visitor. "Permit me to rephrase my question. Would you be good enough to tell me where the Harvard Library is at, jackass?"

Pavlov's birds

An MIT student spent an entire summer going to the Harvard football field every day wearing a black and white striped shirt, walking up and down the field for ten or fifteen minutes throwing birdseed all over the field, blowing a whistle and then walking off the field. At the end of the summer, it came time for the first Harvard home football team, the referee walked onto the field and blew the whistle, and the game had to be delayed for a half hour to wait for the birds to get off of the field. The guy wrote his thesis on this, and graduated.

We ALL need to call every single representative who is holding out on voting 🗳 for Jordan as our next speaker!

I called all 20 of them last night 🌙.

We need to do our part and apply political pressure.

Many of them are up for re-election in 2024!!!!

Help make the gavel lighter for Jim Jordan to lift!!!

The Gateway Pundit is doing an excellent job tracking the Jim Jordan vs. RINO developments. We recently leaned that two Idaho “Republicans” — including Senator Mike Crapo and Congressman anti-Jordan holdout Mike Simpson — took donations from FTX employees Sam Bankman-Fried and Ryan Salame.

What is worse is SCOTUS in an unsigned order just removed a lower-court injunction limiting Biden administration officials from communicating with tech companies about content moderation. The case will be considered in the next term, which is scheduled to end next June. In the meantime, the restrictions on administration communications with tech platforms will be lifted.

Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, dissented from the decision to stay the injunction.

"What the Court has done, I fear, will be seen by some as giving the Government a green light to use heavy-handed tactics to skew the presentation of views on the medium that increasingly dominates the dissemination of news," Alito wrote.

Hey Doc,

Depending on when you're heading home on Sunday, I'll be besides you, heading back home as well from our new dream property in VT. We're heading up there to do some prepping for the upcoming winter, and make sure things do not fall apart over the winter.

If you see a bearded dude with a brown cowboy hat driving a Toyota SUV, waving like an idiot, don't you worry, it's just me...

Safe travels, Dr. R.

Love the one about the spider. My poor mom was absolutely terrified by the little beasts and it took me a long time to come to terms with coexistence with them.

Kay's avatar

My spider encounters from a young age were up close and personal, with the biggies. When I was in my early twenties in Hawaii, I swung the bathroom door closed and a cane spider (bigger than a tarantula) ran out. My mother had to kill it with a broom. It’s been fifty years, and I’m still working on coexistence—with relatively small ones.

Never a fan of spiders. On the other hand my Grandmother (who served as my mother most of the time), cautioned me to spare them. Something about their being deceased people. I still hesitate about dealing with them.

My hope is that all this activity is not just preaching to the choir when it is needed to draw in the decision makers that will stop this massive crime against humanity called RNA injections! As long as the mass media is still controlled by special interest, it is an uphill battle, and I don’t know how much time we have left to stop this travesty!

We have to appreciate our dedicated and determined Doctors have not been letting any viable stone go unturned. They've been leaving materials for us and others to take up the charge. Pharma has been experiencing Bud Light rewards. Our Gov has to recognize they are in our crosshairs. Still best to support our Docs and each other - Keeping on keeping on!

Okay, I am so exhausted from reading your schedule that I need a nap. You road warriors never fail to amaze me, eight hours on the road anywhere is long. My sciatica gets ornery only after a couple hours! Thanks for all you do, your commitment astounds me. And to pull humor out of the world events takes some chutzpah! (the comedy was so funny!)

I can recommend a book for you to read regarding your sciatica. This book works if you actually read and apply the techniques. It will not work if your L5-S1 are fused, and further up as you go. If your spine still has motion, then all the folks I've recommended this book to, it has helped. I read the book almost 20 years ago, and I live it now, albeit it took about a year to correct my behavior. Gym twists, and abdomen core strengthening has completed the process, and I rarely get in any pain anymore. Discomfort over a 7 hour drive ? Sure, just no pain.

Thanks T, I have a sacro-wedgy piece that goes under my butt/spine to lift it and it works great, but hardly ever need it, got relief years ago, chiro helps. I also know a squat and rocking to relieve tightness. Whew, all that just for sciatica!
