A Paucity of Sanity

An interesting aspect of the widespread closures of businesses, colleges and universities, government offices and the restrictions on travel and certain public behaviors is that we are learning that a large portion of what we considered basic and necessary in January of 2020 has been revealed as useless and unnecessary by January of 2021. And…

The Tinnitus Media

People scoff when indoctrination and reeducation camps are mentioned. “Never happen here,” they say (or think). But the fact is, they already exist – they exist in things like the mandatory “anti-racism”/Critical Race Theory programs that are being implemented in businesses, schools, and government agencies, most as a condition of employment. They exist in media…

One View of a Future

Given what we know, not based on theory, prediction, or opinion, but what has been openly expressed and demonstrated as to what sort of world progressives wish to create/are creating, what does that Brave New World look like? Let us list a few aspects that seem self-evident to anyone paying attention: Chaos: the constantly changing…

Texas Breaks Wind

Something significant is getting left out in the “whodunit” debate of the Texas energy debacle that goes beyond the discussions of frozen windmills, snow covered solar panels, frozen pipes, and battery technology, and it is important for the future of certain forms of alternative energy. The pro-fossil fuels crowd says the Green New Deal approach…

Conspiracy or Reality?

To hear the media tell it, the American right is nothing but a bunch of conspiracy mongering wingnuts. Perhaps one of the most assumed conspiracy theories is the Illuminati/Bilderberger/Trilateral Commission conspiracy, centering on a cabal of international bankers, intellectuals, and wealthy elites – mostly whites of European descent, many Jewish, some Nazi, almost exclusively male,…

Cancel Karl

Wouldn’t it be the pinnacle of irony of I got cancelled for exposing cancel culture? Read on and you will see why I might. As long as cancelling people for their beliefs remains a thing, can we get the Cancelistas to cancel Karl Marx, a grisly, old, European white dude, who was an anti-Semitic, bigoted,…

America is Sleepwalking in a Minefield

Democrats just attempted to impeach a former president for incitement of an insurrection. One wonders if this was less about Trump (they did not have a case, evidentiary or constitutionally, but they mailed it in anyway), and more about establishing a low-bar political definition for “insurrection” and a precedent for a response to it. One…

Purple Hull Peas and Cornbread

There are two extremely dangerous psychological conditions at play in Washington these days – truth be told they are always at play in DC – but most of the time they are generally kept in check, prevented from intersecting in dangerous quantities by common sense and an awareness of fallibility in enough people to mitigate…

Federalists and Anti-Federalists

All: fair warning, this is one of those long posts (some will say “What else is new?”), but it might be worth reading. A week or so ago, I posted that the terms Republican and Democrat, as a proper definition of identity for the parties was no longer meaningful, therefore no longer operative. I proposed…

What Do We Do Now?

I have written a lot of words about our state of affairs, but one question keeps coming up, the hardest one to answer – what do we do? I am certainly no authority in such matters, and everyone’s situations are different, but I do think there are some basic things that can be done, things…

Instant Replay

We need a version of instant replay for politics, just like is used in college football and the NFL. Any fan of these sports can recall situations when a player gets penalized for an altercation and during the replay, it is revealed that the other party, the one who didn’t draw a penalty, had been…

Fast Approaching the Last Exit

The metastatic cancer of “cancel culture” that has taken root in the American sociopolitical environment has come to feature a couple of mechanisms all too common in communist regimes – purges and struggle sessions.In the former Soviet Union, it was Stalin’s practice to purge anyone he saw as a threat to his position. It didn’t…

The Real Insurrection

If one listens intently and thinks critically, one concludes the shrieks of “insurrection” from the Democrats are little more than a distraction for the insurrection they are carrying out under the supportive eye of the media. A Soviet style diktat/shunning/silencing/purge is ongoing. It even comes complete with calls for crackdowns on half of the population…

Living in a World of Mass Delusion

“There is no “black mind” or “white mind”, no “white male of knowing”, there is only one truth, and we find it through the scientific method.” ~ Gad Saad, “The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense” Each side of the political divide accuses the other of living in a world of mass…

The Shaw-Shanked Redemption

Based on the election results from 2016 and 2020, it seems clear the GOP has become the party of the working class. Even though he “lost” in 2020, President Trump continued the strong trend of garnering the working-class vote, while the Democrats captured the upper class and the Wall Street wealthy. That shift has more…
