The 90 Miles Mystery Box: Episode #1776
You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?
It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,
from the beautiful to the repugnant,
from the mysterious to the familiar.
If you decide to open it, you could be disappointed,
you could be inspired, you could be appalled.
This is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended.
You have been warned.

Hunter Biden: Jill Biden Is a ‘Selfish Silly Entitled C*nt’
“Go f**k yourself,” Hunter said in mockery of Dr. Jill Biden’s acclaimed teaching prowess, the Sun reported Friday from the “laptop from hell.”
“I suooorted [supported] my GM family including some of the costs you should have used your salary to lay (pay) for – for the last 24 years,” Hunter said during the rant, admitting he is the intake for the family’s business deals.
Hunter continued to belittle Jill Biden as a grammar teacher that did not graduate from an Ivy League college.
“And you do know the drunkest I’ve ever been is still smarter than you could ever even comprehend and you’re a shut (sic) grammar teacher that wouldn’t survive one class in a ivy graduate program.”
It should be noted Jill Biden reportedly prefers to be called a doctor, though she only obtained her Ed.D., a doctor of education degree.
“So go f**k yourself Jill let’s all agree I don’t like you anymore than you like me,” he added.
Though Hunter has said unkind words about Jill Biden, the first lady was seen in public with Hunter on Independence Day watching the fireworks at Fort McNair.
Jill Biden has also taken it on herself to hang Hunter’s artwork in her White House office amid a family scheme to sell the works to “anonymous” investors for up to $500,000, the New York Times revealed in August. The White House has...
Russian lawmaker threatens to ‘take back’ Alaska
Vyacheslav Volodin, the chairman of the Russian State Duma — the lower house of Russia’s parliament — spoke on Wednesday before the Russian parliament’s summer recess. During his speech, Volodin appeared to threaten a response to U.S. sanctions efforts and asset seizures, which have taken control of the bank assets, yachts, private planes and luxury apartments of wealthy Russian businessmen abroad.
“Decency is not a weakness we always have,” Volodin said. “To answer America, let it always remember there’s a piece of territory, Alaska. When they try to manage our resources abroad, let them think before they act that we, too, have something to take back.”
According to the Moscow Times, Volodin also noted deputy State Duma Chairman Pyotr Tolstoy had proposed holding a referendum among Alaskans to consider joining Russia.
“We don’t interfere in their domestic affairs,” Volodin responded, reportedly holding back laughter as he addressed fellow lawmakers.
Russian settlers, and particularly fur traders, first began to arrive in Alaska in the 1700s. The then-Russian Empire under Tsar Alexander II facilitated the sale of Russia’s Alaskan territorial holdings to the U.S. through the Alaska Purchase of 1867. The Alaskan territory was purchased for about $7.2 million in 1867, a value of about $140 million today.
In March, Russian lawmaker Oleg Matveychev called for...
Tolkien Society To Feature Paper Titled “J.R.R. Tolkien, Culture Warrior: The Alt-Right Religious Crusade’s Appropriation of ‘Tolkien'”
Hot off their Summer Seminar 2021 where they put the focus on “Tolkien and Diversity,” The Tolkien Society will now feature a paper at their upcoming Oxonmoot event claiming there is an alt-right religious crusade to appropriate J.R.R. Tolkien.

Oxonmoot 2022 will be held beginning on Thursday September 1st and will conclude on Sunday September 4th. The event will take place in person at St Anne’s College in Oxford as well as online.
As part of the event’s programming, The Tolkien Society revealed they will feature a talk or paper by Robin Reid, a professor at Texas A&M University-Commerce, titled “J.R.R. Tolkien, Culture Warrior: The Alt-Right Religious Crusade’s appropriation of ‘Tolkien.'”
While it’s unclear what the actual contents of the paper or talk actually are, the title makes it very clear it appears to be a political piece and will more than likely highlight Robin Reid’s political views rather than any kind of actual discussion about Tolkien.
And this type of discussion is no stranger to Reid as she previously gave a talk during the New York Tolkien Conference at Baruch College titled “Atheists, Agnostics, and Animists, Oh My!: Secular Readings of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Legendarium” back in 2019.
Regardless of the contents of Reid’s talk or paper are, Tolkien made it very clear that The Lord of the Rings were a Catholic work.
In letter 142 to Father Robert Murray S.J., Tolkien wrote, “I have been cheered specially by what you have said, this time and before, because you are more perceptive, especially in some directions, than any one else, and have even revealed to me more clearly some things about my work. I think I know exactly what you mean by the order of Grace; and of course by your references to Our Lady, upon which all my own small perception of beauty both in majesty and simplicity is founded.”
“The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision,” he declared. “That is why I have not put in or have cut out, practically all references to anything like ‘religion’, to cults or practices, in the imaginary world. For the religious element is absorbed into the story and the symbolism.”
“However that is very clumsily put, and sounds more self-important than I feel,” Tolkien wrote. “For as a matter of fact, I have consciously planned very little; and should chiefly be grateful for having been brought up (since I was eight) in a Faith that has nourished me and taught me all the little that I know; and that I owe to my mother, clung to her conversion and...
