FAUXTUS: Is he demented or just a serial liar? It’s hard to tell at this point. His latest was the whopper he told at a United Steelworkers union headquarters in Pittsburgh recently.

My Uncle Bosey was a hell of an athlete, they tell me, when he was a kid. And he became an Army Air Corps, before the Air Force came along. He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones. He got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals in New Guinea.”

He made it sound like his uncle was a pilot who was shot down while on a heroic reconnaissance flight over a war zone. The official military report states that Second Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan was a passenger on a courier flight whose engines (plural) failed and was forced to ditch in the ocean.

The aircraft’s nose hit the water hard. Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash. One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge. An aerial search the next day found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members.”

Finnegan’s war record shows he was assigned to the 5th Air Force (5th AF), Headquarters Squadron as a courier for the Advanced Echelon (ADVON) in New Guinea, which was an active war zone on land, sea and air from the start of the Pacific War until the surrender of Japan. Couriers provide a vital function in moving classified and sensitive material by hand from place to place. Clearly, anyone working in an active war zone is at risk and Finnegan paid with his life. But he wasn’t a pilot, he did not fly reconnaissance, and he was not eaten by cannibals.

NEW YORK: Why do so many people who are deeply involved in the leftist worldview end up committing suicide?

UTAH: [1:12:58] – Dozens of students staged a walkout to protest the school’s tolerance of people who “identify” as a particular animal.

The kids say the so-called “furries” receive preferential treatment from the school’s administration. One student reported, “They run on all fours and pounce on people.” But the students who complain get punished by the school, not the furries. Another said, “If you don’t have proof, nothing happened. … However, if they pull out their phone and record something, then they get in trouble for recording it. Because [they] are not a minority, [their] voices cannot be heard.”

The school said they don’t have a furry problem. However, records show the problem has been documented since 2022. The Blaze (link below) posted multiple photos and videos sent to them by students.

GRAMMY NOTES: Dearest came home from a dinner with our representative. I asked how the food was. He said, “Okay. But I like your food better.” I think I’ll keep him.
