Some Facts And Thoughts On The Trans Ban
In today's edition of FrontpageMag, Daniel Greenfield has posted an article entitled "The Transgender Ban Isn't Fair. Neither Is War". What caught my interest, however, were the facts that he lays out in the first three paragraphs.
The ban on transgender service that President Trump reaffirmed was there for eight years under Obama. It was there in his first term and his second term. And the media said nothing.
Only in the summer of last year did the ban technically end. And, in practice, it remained in force. All the while there was no angry clamor about the suffering of potential recruits who couldn’t enlist. Those who are fuming with outrage now had hypocritically remained silent. Obama had done it. So it must be good.

The Trans Ban And Other Stories

Music Break - More Beatles Covers
This is my second music post dedicated exclusively to Beatles songs performed by other artists. Some of these I've come across recently, while others I've known about for a long time. Of the former type is the Tedeschi Trucks Band version of I've Got A Feeling. The band is led by singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi and her guitarist husband Derek Trucks, who had been in the Allman Brothers Band with his uncle, drummer (and original member) Butch Trucks. Singing the John Lennon part ("everybody had a hard year....") is Mike Mattison. I'd say that this rendition pretty close to what Beatles music would have sounded like if played by the Allman Brothers.

China Bans Winnie The Pooh
The "willy nilly silly old bear" known as Winnie the Pooh, which is the main character in a series of cartoons based on stories by A. A. Milne, has been banned in China. The reason, from what I can gather, is that Chinese President Xi Jinping has been likened to Pooh in various internet memes, which Xi doesn't like. Oh well, there's nothing like a too-sensitive communist.
The cartoons with Winnie the Pooh and his friends in turn inspired a song by Loggins and Messina.

Riddle Me This #6
It's been four years since I made a "riddle me this" post, so this one is waaaaay past due.
I hope that the "abolish the white race" movement is only on the leftwing fringe, but I still must ask. If their goal is achieved and there are no white people left, on whom will non-whites blame their problems? And who will then be considered "privileged"?

The Doctor To Get A Sex Change
In previous regenerations, the protagonist of the British scf-fi show Doctor Who acquired new teeth or new kidneys, but the next Doctor will acquire a new gender. The thirteenth version of the Doctor will be female, to be played by Jodie Whittaker. This is not too much of a surprise, since his (soon to be her) fellow Time Lord and longtime nemesis the Master has already become a woman, known as Missy. Will the show's fans accept a female Doctor? Time (pun intended) will tell.

A Few Migration Stories
Some stories about the migration into Europe:
Italy is considering a "nuclear option" in which they give migrants visas, which would allow them to travel farther north within the Schengen zone, as reported by Breitbart London and the Metro, both of which cite The Times. (You'll have to register if you want to read their full article.)
According to PRI, who cite Agence France-Presse, asylum-seekers have been housed in "human warehouses".
The Globe And Mail report that migrant crisis in Italy has spawned protests.
Deutsche Welle reports that "right-wing extremists" have chartered a ship with the intent of obstructing the flow of migrants.
And in the Express, there's a story about British taxpayers paying for unused airline tickets for failed asylum seekers.

Some Follow-Up, And Links For Bastille Day
Last November, I made a "Things I Don't Believe" post about the rumor that Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1966, and was replaced by a look-alike. I recently found a YouTube video which makes some of the same points that I made in my post, but focuses on Paul's relationships, both before and after the purported crash. Would his father James, his brother Mike (known as Mike McGear), his then-girlfriend Jane Asher, and the other three Beatles have continued, with an impostor, all the respective relationships that they originally had with Paul? Watch below or here.

Huge Iceberg Breaks Off Antarctica
If you're sailing in the southern ocean, you might want to watch out for a very large iceberg, which just calved off of the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica. It's been described as being the size of Delaware, and weighing a trillion tons. This means, of course, that if it gets near, it will be hard to miss.

Links For 7/11
This is for the date, not the convenience store. Should I provide seven or eleven....or both? Let's see what I can come up with:
From CNS News, a noted musician writes about Auschwitz. (I have visited the camp myself.)
From The Daily Caller, move over Elizabeth Warren, here's the next fake Indian.
From ABC News, who's the Russian lawyer that Trump Jr. has been talking to?
From Townhall, read Trump Jr.'s emails for yourself. (What about Hillary's emails? Oh, never mind!)
From HealthZette, here's more of what policemen have to deal with.
From Variety, here's more of what policemen have to deal with.
From Philly(dot)com, does anyone want to buy an airfield?
From the Express, relations between Norway and the E.U. are getting crabby.
From The Federalist, conservative columnist George Will sounds off on Twitter, collusion, healthcare and baseball.
From the Washington Examiner, Energy Secretary Rick Perry goes to Mexico.
From FrontpageMag, a look at Linda Sarsour.
From The Washington Times, an American soldier is arrested after pledging loyalty to ISIS.
From Breitbart Jerusalem, over 120,000 children attend summer camps run by Hamas and similar groups.

I believe that I've found seven and eleven, which totals eighteen stories in all.

A Sasquatch's Dozen
Twelve things going on out there:
In Chechnya, gays are reportedly executed without trial.
Megyn Kelly's rating keep going down.
Tomi Lahren addresses the snowflakes.
The next time you have a complaint about police, first take a look at what they have to deal with.
Migrants are making it harder to be a Lesbian (and I'm not talking about female homosexuals).
In the Netherlands, Muslim children are compensated for missing a photo session.
President Trump's critics display their ignorance of history.
Beware the Bechdel test.
Two million more Americans have lost their health insurance this year. Wasn't Obamacare supposed to prevent that sort of thing? (intermediate source)
Charlie Gard's parents have been given 48 hours to produce new evidence about experimental treatments for his condition. (intermediate source)
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson goes to the Middle East.
And to finish, the next status symbol might be, of all things, sleep.
More Things I Have Learned
This is another list of things I've run across on sites such as Twitter, or have read elsewhere. As with my first post of this kind, these could be called "other people's musings". For some of these, I have tried to provide links to some background information.
According to some people:
In a Tweet, Ann Coulter said something like this: If President Trump's pause on immigration from six Muslim countries is a possible recruiting tool for terrorists, couldn't this also be true of the DNC choosing against electing a Muslim, Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN), as their chairperson?
There is now a faction of the left which views violence for reasons they agree with as speech, and speech which they don't agree with as violence.
Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus. She didn't trash the bus. Big difference. Her friends boycotted the Montgomery buses. They didn't block traffic. Again, big difference.

Testing
Just testing out the Blogger photo upload and display functions. Here are some things I once used to operate a computer. In those days, the computer, which I never saw, took up an entire room. I loaded a bunch of these things into a reader, located in another room, and got a printout as a result.
Operating systems like Windows were beyond my imagination back then.

Changes Afoot?
Winston Churchill once described Russia as "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma". In a similar vein, I seem to have gotten into a predicament wrapped in a dilemma inside a quandary. (In a small quandary, I also had to figure out how to spell "quandary".) If you've gone to any of my posts which contain one or more embedded pictures, you might see, instead of the picture(s), a notice from Photobucket to "please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting". If you want to see the picture, you need to right click on the notice, and select "open link in new tab", which will take you to the Photobucket page which hosts the picture.

Happy Independence Day, America
On this day in 1776, in Philadelphia, the Second Continental Congress declared that the thirteen colonies which they represent would no longer be ruled by Great Britain and her king, setting forth the reasons why they would no longer swear allegiance thereto, and assume a "separate and equal station" among the nations of the earth. Among other things, this Declaration of Independence set forth the then-radical idea that all men are created equal, and have rights which come directly from their Creator. This was a departure from the centuries-old European tradition be people being born into their respective ranks, each with its own prerogatives, distinct from the other ranks. Telling a king that he was equal to a peasant was something you just didn't do back then without consequences.
Here are some related articles:
From Hot Air, "Happy Independence Day 2017".
From National Review, "A People without a King".
From Townhall, "5 Ways the American Revolution Was Different From Other Revolutions".
From FrontpageMag, "Freedom and Tyranny: The Meaning of Independence Day".
And of course, you can also read the original document.
