This guy beats the simile to death, but it is amusing and apt. And his recap of the evolution of our current mess is enlightening. Revolutionizing the New Global Order: The Godfather Wars I’ll cut to the chase, but the article is worth a read. As the United States and China become more insular, both…
The Morning Report 9/1/20
Good morning kids. First of September and with the Democrat-sanctioned and perhaps funded violence and mayhem incinerating our major cities have completely repulsed most Americans, the off switch on the golem they have inflicted on us doesn’t seem to be working, as several incidents seem to dictate. First, within minutes after a police shooting of another alleged…

Good morning kids. Monday and the last day in August. At the top of the heap is the continued Democrat-promoted and sponsored wave of terror sweeping through or major cities. Of course now that it, like everything else they’ve inflicted on us for the past four years has backfired, and spectacularly, they are naturally disavowing…
Different Moral Universes Include Different Levels Of Politeness
Ace wrote about Ron Coleman’s recent epiphany, and it struck me that the difference in morality is not confined to the current political insanity in which we are immersed. I am sure that there are philosophical arguments to be made, but “The Golden Rule” is one of the bedrocks of a moral life and a…

Good morning kids. The weekend is here and to quote the late Jim McKay the finale of the Republican National Convention compared and contrasted with the vile, brutish display outside the White House, in flaming cities and the black hearts of Leftists, represented at once “our greatest hopes, our worst fears.” As for President Trump,…
the Morning Rant
One of the significant downsides to living in a metropolitan area is the vile smugness and condescension that is displayed on every street corner and at every cocktail party and brunch and casual conversation. The trivial fact that these pompous asses live in Park Slope rather than suburban Kansas City or Montana or Eastern Washington…

Good morning kids. Thursday and before anything, Hurricane Laura slammed into Louisiana as a category 4 storm. Prayers for everyone in its path. Please stay safe, and I mean that in a real, non-phony pandemic poseur way. On to the big stories. The penultimate night of the Republican National Convention outdid even the previous two….
The Morning Report 8/26/20
Good morning kids. Midweek and before we get to yet another pocket of normalcy, sanity and hope from the RNC (it was truly another stellar night and all the links are below) the Democrat-inspired and more than likely coordinated act of national insurrection escalated dangerously late yesterday. No doubt you will see from the flaming…
The Morning Rant
What a concept! Tradition. And nowhere does tradition act more aggressively than in the norms of sexual behavior. But that makes perfect sense, even ignoring the biblical admonitions. Exactly how would civilization advance if the structure of the family was a chaotic melange of multiple sex partners and multiple fathers and mothers who could not…
The Morning Report 8/25/20
Good morning kids. Tuesday and the big story is day one of the 2020 Republican National Convention. Actually, the story is the contrast between the messages and the policies of the GOP and the Dems. In fact, both held their conventions simultaneously. Wait, you thought that last week’s four-night pornographic pre-taped, pre-digested performance art was…
