Heck no and no. Good grief, what are they teaching in schools these days? I don’t normally do this kind of immediate reaction to events but I’m going to make an exception today. Dr. Steve Turley brought up a study on one of his videos today that I’m going to take major issue with that relates to the Tucker Carlson ouster. I like Dr. Steve despite his being pretty stuck on the whole ‘civilization state’ idea that I find absurd … Continue reading “Is America an Oligarchy and Does Tucker Carlson’s Ouster Prove it?”
The Ukrainian Counteroffensive: Will They or Won’t They?
The single dumbest thing I can think of to do today is to guess what Ukraine’s military leaders have up their collective sleeves. Frankly, the options seem to me to be a lot wider open than what I’m hearing from military and political commentators. That’s not a dig at either the military experts or the political commentators, of which I’m one. The reality is that you can only analyze so much when half the cards are still in the deck. … Continue reading “The Ukrainian Counteroffensive: Will They or Won’t They?”
Open Letter to DA Alvin Bragg
Dear Alvin, First off, thanks for taking time from your busy job of not protecting the people of Manhattan from rampant street crime. You have your hands full, we know, trying to convince your constituents that they are better off without any of that tiresome prosecution of criminals. That makes your contribution to our cause so much more meaningful. We admit, we were a little concerned when you were running for the District Attorney position, what with all that ‘I’ll … Continue reading “Open Letter to DA Alvin Bragg”
China Destroys Digital Fish
The President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-Wen met with Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy on April 5, 2023. The Chinese took it in stride by pitching a fit all over diplomatic channels and social media. Then they sulked for a few days. Once no one was lulled into any sense of security whatsoever, China unleased its military fury by pretending to blockade Taiwan and very politely staying out of the way of most maritime traffic. But just in case anyone … Continue reading “China Destroys Digital Fish”
Chicken Little Politics is not Finger Licking Good
Y’all remember that ‘Ok Boomer’ meme from a couple years back? Well, here’s you’re first grown up lesson as grown ups: careful who you mock because you will be on the receiving end eventually. Oh, we Boomers still love y’all and we do feel for you, but it is so incredibly funny watching Millennials and Zoomies freaking out and panicking because Russia decided to act like Russia and China still wants to rule the world. Actually, it’s hysterical. It’s almost … Continue reading “Chicken Little Politics is not Finger Licking Good”
Democrat Party Collapse – How Soon?
Dang, you’re impatient, aren’t cha? The reality is that it’ll take forever then happen instantly. That doesn’t really help, I know, but remember that not just one person is deciding to click the switch. Hundreds will be involved in the leadership decisions as consultants and analysists try to earn their paychecks. Tens of thousands of rank and file voters will be making their preferences known, probably loudly and pointedly. Millions of Democrats will hit social media and voting booths – … Continue reading “Democrat Party Collapse – How Soon?”
Indictment: Trump
Jack Posobiec was wrong today. We have not seen the death of the Republic. Far from it. What we have seen is the suicide of the Democrat Party. Democrats who want to bother with the blame game should start with Obama. In legalizing gay marriage he put his ‘legacy’ over the Democrat Party’s stability. With the gay issues resolved, Democrats no longer had a convenient excuse to not deal with the issues of all the crazies they had accumulated under … Continue reading “Indictment: Trump”
Lobbyist Liability: Suing the Middle Man
In my anything but expert understanding to bring a case before a court there has to be some kind of injury. It’s not enough that Bob made you mad; there has to be something that actually hurt you physically or financially or in some demonstrable way. Yes, this has had some hilarious results over the years as lawyers contorted legal theories into fractals to get an ‘injury’ so they could get their client’s grievance before a court. Judges have not … Continue reading “Lobbyist Liability: Suing the Middle Man”
Biden Who?
You know, that guy that stays in the White House occasionally and has a badly messed up kid? The guy 81 million people allegedly voted for after he hid in his basement during the campaign. Yeah, him. Is it just me or has Biden been amazingly unimportant? He managed to screw up Afghanistan, there is that. Oh, yeah, and there was, rather is, all that censorship and Orwellian disinformation board stuff. Trying to enact some sort of abortion law that … Continue reading “Biden Who?”
NATO’s Back! And the World is More Complicated than Ever!
The world was always complex but being the biggest kid on the block means a lot of the block just avoids you. Not the best situation but it does simplify matters. Comes in handy when having to help sort out an entire planet but it also makes it pretty easy for us to be blindsided. I can remember in the Nineties being astonished that some Eastern European country was actually expecting Bob Dole, then candidate for president, to have an … Continue reading “NATO’s Back!
