Good morning, kids. Before getting into the meat of my discourse, there are number of things that in and of themselves would get lost in the sauce, especially this morning. But when you take them in aggregate paint a picture that makes you want to scream. They’re in the links but I’ll put them here…
American Exceptionalism…the result of 2,500 years of development of Western Culture, is being subsumed in an invasion of people whose world-view is alien to all of the concepts that drove the success of America. Self reliance, independence, entrepreneurial spirit, intelligence, and most of all, a healthy suspicion of government. The Immigration and Nationality Act of…
ood morning, kids. With the continued dissolution of what’s left of what was the United States, you’d be forgiven for not knowing that there was a town hall Q&A in New Hampshire last night with President Trump that was broadcast on CNN. That CNN’s ratings are the equivalent of a 5,000 watt college radio station somewhere…
Good morning, kids. On this day in 1940, you-know-who’s Wehrmacht smashed into the Low Countries and France, and in a mere six weeks had all of Western Europe in his grasp. Tellingly, on that same day. Winston Churchill became prime minister. In hindsight, it was a turning point but at the time the situation for sure was…
It is long past the time when Turtle McConnell’s words meant anything other than a punch line in a dystopian joke about the feckless Republican party. He has overseen the loss of seats during an election season that could have been an exceptional success, but his obeisance to his personal power, corporate America, his acceptance…
Good morning, kids. Taking in the situation we face, I have to admit I feel helpless. Not hopeless, God forbid. But certainly helpless. As we have become all too painfully aware, the way in which things are supposed to function and how people are supposed to behave has been turned upside down. The events of January…
Good morning, kids. With everything going on, probably the least crucial item on the docket is the fight over the debt ceiling. Let’s face it; unless we are completely wrong about deficits and debts in terms of the consequences to the government as opposed to the ordinary citizen, we are tens of trillions in the…
Oklahoma bans first 13 companies from state business for ESG policies As the federal government becomes more and more authoritarian while simultaneously becoming even less competent (hard to believe!), the last great hope of a return to American Exceptionalism, or even just a return to a more sane country, seems to be in the statehouses…
Good morning, kids. Happy Sinko de Swimmy or whatever fercockamamie non-holiday this is. Meh, if you’re somewhere in the southwest and you do celebrate this or it is a tradition to celebrate it, apologies and have fun. I mean no disrespect. That said, considering that the border, such as it is which is to say…
Good morning, kids. Crime, or to be more precise, crime as a means by which the junta in power seeks to make the citizenry cede more of the freedoms to said junta for the promise of security, is today’s subject. First as a bit of a setup, the fiend who was captured yesterday after being…
