College Stupid

You have to be very intelligent to accomplish some levels of stupidity. You have to be seriously idiotic to keep doing it. The only thing the Ivy League currently lacks is the goose stepping. In order to prove how not racist (or how allied or whatever crazy thing they are calling it this week) these liberal, elitist, very, very white card carrying members of DAR are rioting on the oh so virtue signaling Ivy League campus’ in support of murderers … Continue reading “College Stupid”

Is Israel the Baddie?

No. The morons that listen to only one side are morons. Hamas is a terrorist organization not because the big meanie US says so, but because that’s how they behave and have behaved since their inception. If that weren’t enough proof, October 7th removed all doubt. There are lots of accusations flying. Allegations of involvement of Gazan civilians in the massacre have been credibly made. Kinda. Terrorists and civilians are notoriously difficult to distinguish because the terrorists refuse to wear … Continue reading “Is Israel the Baddie?”

Is Ukraine Doomed?

No. Seriously, people who pick up Molotov cocktails and shotguns to take on TANKS are not going to crumble because the US is late with a delivery or ten. Not immediately, anyway. Sure, they legitimately need the aid and it should have been there by now, but they were at war more than two years before the US finally decided to send lethal aid sometime in 2017. No, they can’t hold out forever against the economic power Russia can bring … Continue reading “Is Ukraine Doomed?”

The Failure You Know

Yep. That’s a huge part of why Donald Trump is leading in the polls. Before you accuse me of hypocrisy, polls near the primaries are more reliable but nothing this far out from the general election tells us anything of substance about the general. It is WAY too early for that. However, we’d normally expect Biden to be leading in the polls right now. He’s the incumbent and the media loves him. That Trump leads in a lot of polls … Continue reading “The Failure You Know”

Useless to Ukraine and Turning on Israel – Biden’s Confused Foreign Policy

Seriously? What the heck, Joe? Hint: winning wars – or at least supporting the winners – tends to go over well with voters. Betraying the nation-states that count on us, not so much. It’s like the Democrats have no idea how to win elections any longer. I’ll help you out guys – this ain’t it. I’m well aware that many conservative supporters of Ukraine blame the Republicans for the failure to pass a new aid package. They are half right. … Continue reading “Useless to Ukraine and Turning on Israel – Biden’s Confused Foreign Policy”

Is the European Union Democratic?

No, of course not. It’s a bureaucracy. You need details, huh? They really don’t teach you college kids much for all that money they charge you, do they? Any word ending in -cracy refers to what governs. Democracy just means the people govern – there aren’t any true democracies. Autocracy means a single person has full governing power. Think ‘despot’ but that’s just the usual outcome. Benevolent autocracy is possible in theory. So far, it hasn’t happened. So what’s a … Continue reading “Is the European Union Democratic?”

Iran, Yemen, Venezuela, China, and Russia, Oh My!

The world is burning down. Ack! Head for the hills! The End is Near! Dogs and cats are marrying! So, basically, it’s Tuesday on the Internet. Let’s take a bit of a deeper dive, shall we? Or we can just do the headless chicken dance. Deeper dive? Good call. I left Ukraine, Israel and Guyana out of my list on purpose. Today, let’s look at the bad guys. I’m grossly oversimplifying because this isn’t a Perils of Pauline serial and … Continue reading “Iran, Yemen, Venezuela, China, and Russia, Oh My!”

Ceasefire: Good for Israel? Good for Biden?

Yes to the first. No to the second. What is it with you people and details?! Can’t a cranky old lady get any peace around here? Well, that’s obviously a no. So, details it is. Y’all are probably wondering if my opinion has changed since a ceasefire doesn’t seem part of the program I anticipated. The answer is no, I haven’t changed my opinion – yet. Look, politics only comes in size people and people only come in size messy. … Continue reading “Ceasefire: Good for Israel? Good for Biden?”

Suspicious Protests

It would be nice if we could magically just know how sincere a person was when they say something. Of course, you’d find out that your mom really did have a favorite kid and your boss isn’t going to think about giving you a raise so there are some downsides. But with this magic power we could tell just how legit a given protest was. Well, my superpower ring still hasn’t come in the mail so I guess we’ll just … Continue reading “Suspicious Protests”
