A Coward’s Revolution

Revolution has come to America. The average citizen would be excused for not noticing – but it has come. It did not come with force of arms, explosions, civil war or an invasion, at least not in the sense of a D-Day style crash of Allied bodies against the Nazi wall on the beaches of…

Dystopia Sure Ain’t What It Used To Be

Let me state for the record that I am not a constitutional scholar. I have read and studied the document itself and many contemporary documents – and that is from what I form my views of the foundational document of America. I prefer to find the meaning of the words, ideas and principles in our…

Alice, the White Rabbit and 2020

“Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can’t believe impossible things.’ I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. There goes the shawl again!” ~ Lewis…

We Are The Ones We Were Waiting For

I quote F.A. Hayek quite a bit – but for me, two books, Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” and Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom”, could be, as the old “Law and Order” intro said, “Ripped from the headlines.” These books – Hayek’s published in 1944 and Rand’s in 1957 – are prescient in predicting the events of…

The Trolley Problem

There seems to be a common belief among the pundit class that Trump’s biggest issue going into the election is the public’s unhappiness with his pandemic response. If so, that is one of the most successful propaganda campaigns the Democrats have mounted in this cycle. What makes that interesting is that it is based on…

Flag On The Play

It is well known that President Trump is a counter-puncher. If you hit him, he is going to hit back harder – and for many casual observers (and that is most of the electorate) that is the problem. Think of it this way – you are attending a football game and the game is hotly…

Weekend Musings – Week 40

Couple of interesting things from over the weekend. First, I was catching up on my podcasts and was listening to Dan Bongino’s podcast from Friday. He chronicled a call he received from a NYT reporter who wanted to talk about the leftist/anarchist violence ongoing in several cities around the country. As a quick digression, I…

Postmodernism, Progressivism, and Lysenkoism

Progressivism is intellectualism for stupid people. As I listen to the baseless, moronic yammering of progressive postmodernist “scholars”, I am reminded of two people – early computer software pioneer Chip Morningstar and Soviet agronomist Trofim Lysenko. In 1993, Morningstar wrote an article about his first adventure with postmodernism and deconstructionism titled “How to Deconstruct Almost…

Choose Wisely

The risk of a Democrat dominated government is obvious to all who care to look. Secrecy: they refuse to tell America what their plans and policies are (i.e. court packing). You can learn more by what the refuse to say than what the do. Lack of principles: both Biden and Harris have reversed their positions…

Joe Biden Goes Nuclear

Joe Biden has attraction problem. No, this one isn’t related to his attraction to prepubescent children or sniffing women’s hair, this has to do with his base. His attraction problem is one of an atomic nature – how does he generate the attractive force necessary to keep his nucleus of support together as he defends…
