Kamala’s Comeback?

Okay, technically, you have to arrive before you can come back – but you know what I mean. She’s doing the PR tour with ‘stellar’ results – if we define ‘stellar’ as ‘going nova’. It’s hard to tell if she’s trying to get her poll numbers up so she can get rid of Biden or if she’s trying to keep her numbers so low that no one will want to have her instead. I presume the former. I’m not a … Continue reading “Kamala’s Comeback?”

Democrats: Leadership Versus Base

A recent poll found that 32% of Democrats thought that the 2020 was not won fairly. I’m not presently a fan of polls but this is not the result I’d expect given my concerns. I’d expect a much lower number as weighting should drive it down – so this could be an underestimate of how many Democrats think their party cheated. It could also be a statistical anomaly so we shouldn’t draw the conclusion that there are definitely large numbers … Continue reading “Democrats: Leadership Versus Base”

Happy People Will Lie About You Once You’re Unpopular Day!

We used to just call it ‘Columbus Day’ but then the media and the left decided that narrative was more important than truth. But we also used to define vaccines by their ability to provide immunity – literally, if they can’t do that, they are just a form of treatment, not a vaccine. But the CDC wants everyone to be vaccinated regardless of how insane it is so it quietly changed the definition on its website – and several dictionaries … Continue reading “Happy People Will Lie About You Once You’re Unpopular Day!”

Who Controls What the Kids Can Think

Let’s get real – a nation is one generation away from oblivion. All human congregations are, regardless if they are small families or gigantic nation-states. Because once all the members die, it’s over. With 327 million Americans largely intent on continuing the human race it’s not at all likely that everyone will cease having children within the year – or the next twenty – but nation-states face more than an existential threat of not having any children. Nation-states only continue … Continue reading “Who Controls What the Kids Can Think”

The Slow Collapse of an Administration

The strength of the American system of government is that it is slooooooooow. Really, really, mind numbingly sloooooow. The annoying part of the American system of government is that it couldn’t win a race with a dead snail. Fast moving government is like a fiery horse – with major behavioral problems. It might be fun to watch some OTHER poor idiot ride that horse, but it is a misery to ride yourself. You can’t keep up – by the time … Continue reading “The Slow Collapse of an Administration”

Where Are The Remaining Stranded Americans?

The current administration claims that only about 100 Americans are still in Afghanistan and in hiding. Rescue organizations on the ground place the number near to 1000. Which estimate is correct is immaterial – the question is what is being done by the Biden administration to secure the safe return of the Americans the administration stranded behind enemy lines? Ten or ten thousand – we want ALL our people back. These are not people who chose to remain – these … Continue reading “Where Are The Remaining Stranded Americans?”

Science? What Science?

Has anyone else noticed that the science ceased to matter about five months ago? It’s not coincidental that this sudden shift away from ‘follow the bouncing science’ occurs just as the first indications were coming out that there were major problems with the vaccines. It’s also not coincidental that there is no discussion of science at all as the reports surface showing that the vaccines are losing efficacy fast. After all, we can’t have some silly science project getting in … Continue reading “Science? What Science?”

Coming to the Party

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. Martin Niemöller We’ve all heard at least part of the saying before. … Continue reading “Coming to the Party”

The Post Authoritarian World to Come

I refuse to use the idiotic phrase ‘post COVID’. A virus with a 98% survivability and that hasn’t infected the majority of people simply isn’t a turning point in world history. That it has been used as an excuse for totalitarian and authoritarian measures directed against the free people of the world might well be a turning point – the virus itself is not. Australia has gone full totalitarian – which begs the question of why the heck we are … Continue reading “The Post Authoritarian World to Come”

We Pay for This Homeland Security Department Why, Exactly?

I worked 18 years in Disease Control. I’ve transported many HIV and some TB patients in my personal vehicle – and never thought twice. The tuberculous Disease Intervention Specialists didn’t wear masks – why should an STD DIS? I stayed home when I even thought I was sick – because that really can be dangerous to HIV patients – but otherwise, we didn’t need no stinkin’ masks – and never used them. I say that because I realize I’m not … Continue reading “We Pay for This Homeland Security Department Why, Exactly?”
