Today is Wednesday, Sept. 17, the 260th day of 2025
with 105 to follow.

The moon is waning. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus. Evening stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn.


On this date in history:


In 1787, the U.S. Constitution, completed in Philadelphia, was signed by a majority of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Nine states ratified the document in June 1788, and it became the supreme law of the United States on March 4, 1789.

In 1862, Union forces led by Gen. George McClellan attacked Confederate troops led by Gen. Robert E. Lee near Antietam Creek in Maryland. McClellan blocked Lee's advance on Washington but fell short of victory.

In 1939, Soviet troops invaded Poland, 16 days after Nazi Germany moved into the country. Warsaw capitulated to Nazi armies 20 days later.

In 1972, North Vietnam released three American pilots, the first U.S. prisoners of war released by the country since 1969.

In 1976, NASA displayed its first space shuttle, the Enterprise, an airplane-like spacecraft costing almost $10 billion that took nearly a decade to develop.

In 1978, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin signed the Camp David Accords, laying the groundwork for a permanent peace agreement between Egypt and Israel after three decades of hostilities.

In 1983, Vanessa Williams of New York became the first Black woman to be named Miss America. She resigned 11 months later after nude photos were published but regained stardom as a singer and actress.

In 1991, North Korea, South Korea, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were admitted to the United Nations.

In 1993, Cambodia's two leading political parties agreed that Prince Norodom Sihanouk would lead the nation. Sihanouk was installed as king a week later.

In 2001, U.S. President George W. Bush said Osama bin Laden, the suspected ringleader in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, was "wanted dead or alive." Bin Laden was killed in a 2011 U.S. commando raid in in Pakistan.

In 2024, thousands of pagers and walkie talkies meant to be used by members of Hezbollah exploded across Lebanon and Syria over the course of two days. The attacks killed 42 people and injured thousands. The Israeli government manufactured devices, installing the explosives in a plan dubbed Operation Grim Beeper.

I don't get what happened with Jimmy Kimmel. Seems like an excuse to get rid of him. I watched the controversial episode twice because I must have missed the egregious stuff he said the first time. Turns out I missed it the second time too.

He didn't even criticize Kirk, he was making fun of the MAGA to a looking to Canonize him.
A professor here at Clemson was fired and two others suspended for negative comments about Kirk.  Not cheering his murder, but disagreeing with his politics.  While I agree that teachers (and most everyone) is better off not posting that kind of stuff on social media, I do think it's gross overreach.  Smacks of McCarthyism.

It's mildly ironic that people are getting fired over stuff like that, when, if they repeated some of the things Kirk said, they'd also get fired.

Actually, Kimmel pulled out the allegation that Robinson was an extreme rightist, a disciple of Nick Fuentes.  A Groyper.  It's an absurd assertion, a desperate fantasy of the left.  Nick Fuentes is vile person, but Tyler Robinson was in a romantic relationship with a trans woman, and that ain't Groyper territory.   

How about we just stay away from this subject here?  It's dangerous territory.

Wait. During Monday's episode? You saw this with your own eyes? Because I recorded it and watched it several times and I saw/heard no such reference to Groyper nor Nick Fuentes. Perhaps he had done so on another show. I'm only bringing it up here because I'm trying to understand what happened.
