There used to be a tradition, perhaps only honored in the breach, that those in charge are responsible for their actions and that of their subordinates. Our current crop of responsibility-shirking politicians has clearly never heard the word “responsibility,” much less taken any in their miserable lives. They revel in flexing their political might, backed…

Is progressivism the political philosophy of misplaced priorities? Obviously it is also the purview of the masturbatory fantasies of every budding dictator, who giggles with glee at the prospect of sending the jack-booted thugs of the state to enforce increasingly ridiculous edicts, all in service of their ultimate goal…power over the People. Examine most of…

Our rights are not complicated. They don’t require opaque legal explanations and overpaid professors writing 2,500 word opinions in the NYT. Any reasonably aware American can explain them…perhaps not elegantly and concisely, but they are not confusing or difficult to understand. And they are being violated. Our right to speak, our right to peaceably assemble,…

Fake conservatives…I’m sick of them. And I’m not referring to the chattering class of professional court jesters who are trotted out by the media to represent us. And I am not pointing at toads and lackeys like Cap’n Bill Kristol, whose idea of Nirvana is fluffing for any Democrat who hates President Trump, and a…

Corrupt hacks abound in New York City, but the highest profile crook, its mayor, is going to use Sino-Lung-Rot as an excuse to cover his many failings as the architect of NYC’s descent into madness, crime and hyper-SJW lunacy. The subways were failing before China exported lung-AIDS to America, but what a convenient cover to…

Organized religion disgusts our elites, and the unrelenting attacks on it have only intensified as the totalitarian masks come off and we see what they really think of those Americans who take God and religion seriously, rather than as a campaign talking point or a throwaway line in a speech about Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie…

The political philosophy of the founders was not predicated on overarching government. It was not based on some communitarian concept of shared responsibility and equal distribution of the fruits of our labor. It was based on personal responsibility, the idea that we will rise or fall based on our own accomplishments and hard work. And…

The scum-sucking imps from hell that are the media can’t resist something like this. Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, in his annual shareholder’s report speaks candidly about the challenges facing his bank and America as a result of the Sino-Lung-Rot overreaction. There is some obvious observation of the short-term difficulties that we face,…

The mad rush by governors and mayors to be the most draconian in their probably-not-legal restrictions of our liberties is a fine catalyst to examine the differences between a free republic and the more coercive and restrictive countries around the world. Were we to adopt an authoritarian stance we could easily flatten the peak point…

It’s past the time during which we could approach Wuhan Flu with anything approaching calm, rational discussion and decision-making. For fuck’s sake…THEY ARE CLOSING THE BARS! In my neck of the woods there is an odd juxtaposition between business-as-usual and insane behavior that is just a few steps from burning witches and bleeding to release…
