Jerry Lewis RIP

Jerry didn't get to see the eclipse...😥

#SolarEclipse You owe it to yourself to experience a total solar eclipse...

Of course, if you are looking at hours of backed up traffic, it might not be so appealing: Colorado/Wyoming, Oregon, South Carolina--and bad traffic could continue on to Wednesday.

But don't burn your retinas...

If you stare at it you will go blind

You CANNOT do eye exercises so you can look directly at the sun...don't try!

#GameOfThrones : Season 8 Script Spoilers or Fan Theories?

We are not even though Season 7 yet, and now Season 8 script leaks are out there? Are they real? They could be real. They could be fake. So if you don't want to read spoilers, don't read these links.

If they are fan theories, they are interesting. It is certainly a plausible way to end the series.

Bran and Night King vs 13th Lord Commander

EBL: Separated at Birth: Arya Stark and..., Death Is The Enemy, Separated at Birth: George Soros and...?, The Magnificent Seven of Westeros, Jon Snow and Drogon, The Watcher on the Wall of the Constitution, Which is better?, Mongols vs. Dothraki, GoT Sitcom, Scarmucci gets the ax (or sword as the case may be), Jon Snow and the dragons, and GoT Dead Poo

Rule 5 and FMJRA

Separated at Birth: Arya Stark and...?

Ayra Stark and Steve Bannon: They both have a list...

EBL: Is Steve Bannon Finished? No.

Proof Positive: Bannon: "Hold my beer..."

Don Surber: Bannon is where we need him

Hot Air: How 'gone' is Steven Bannon, really?

Instapundit: The HuffPo goes there... and don't forget that Democrat Party Hate Group and Charity Scam Southern Poverty Law Center has a list too

Wombat: Power Line: Apple Funds Left-Wing Hate Group (the SPLC is all about money and we can only assume Apple shares its hate agenda), also, Statue Of Limitations (2), Twitchy: Charles Barkley Brings Voice Of Reason To Monument Debate

Put A Ring On It!

Denver Post:  Canadian Woman finds rings she lost in the garden on a carrot...

Stabbing attack in Turku, Finland

Hot Air: Mass Stabbing Attack in Turku, Finland (possibly more perpetrators)

Initial reports strangely silent on motive (other than mental health)

Legal Insurrection: Footage of stabbing attack in Finland

I am disgusted and concerned. The media (at least in the USA) is sickly obsessive about Trump and Charlottesville, yet this looming threat in Europe and the West continues to march on. Roger Simon is right, the problem is not Nazis. There is a far bigger threat out there.  

Global News: Mass Stabbing in Finland

EBL: Terror Attack in Las Ramblas, Barcelona

AoSHQ: CNN and its clown car journalists

Is Steve Bannon finished?

Update:  While not officially confirmed yet, it looks like Bannon is going gone. He may have already resigned and that interview he did was just to sealed the deal. Still, Bannon may be more effective for the Trump agenda outside than in.  

A lot of NeverTrumpers are predicting Bannon goes out for revenge against Trump. They then nuance that by saying he will be attacking Kelly, McMasters, etc. I guess we will see what happens, but I do not get the feeling Bannon wants to destroy Trump. Bannon does unleash, however, on the GOPe.

Rush Limbaugh is stepping up to act as 'chief strategist' to President Trump. Rush recommends that the President focus on the economy. Will Bannon now become a media hero? 

Roger Stone: Bannon alone and Surrounded since Spring, and now it's August...

Instapundit: Gone, Daily Caller: Bannon might have a few allies left

NRO: McMaster underestimates the threat of Islamists

Rush Limbaugh: Has some theories about Bannon 

AoSHQ: It is a dangerous world right now

Hot Air: Fantasy/Reality and Mitt/Trump

WaPo: Total Eclipse Of Steve Bannon

EBL: Bannon, McMaster, and Kelly

TOM: Bannon Out at White House

Powerline: Bannon to be outsted

Newt: Art of the Comeback?

Trump Being Bullied?

LI: Da Boot!

DRUDGE

Let Steve Bannon be a lesson to all you aspiring WH Chief Strategists. Perform oral sex on yourself on your own time

This works too

A sad day for us. Steve was a true hero of this administration, & target of the biggest hate movement in America: https://t.co/ihziQDKgV8

Roanoke: The Lost Colony

The ship returned on August 18, 1590, only to find Croatoan carved on a post

The Lost Colony

Okay there are lots of theories what happened: Abducted by aliens?, The Lost Colony of Roanoke, and the Mysterious Lost Colony

Wilder theories aside, and given no bodies were found, the most probable is the most likely: They were attacked by a nearby tribe. They had valuable things (like metal) the tribe would want. Tribes often attacked other groups. Either the colonists were all killed, or the natives killed the men and took the women as captives.
