And aside from two issues….I don’t much care (for now). I want a goddamned wall built and our immigration laws forcefully enforced. I want national carry permits. Everything else will follow if he does these two things. If not, then the only positive to come out of the election is that the drunken kleptocrat with…
President-Elect Trump
So…That happened. Sorry, busy couple of days aside for the election (still work on that dissertation, even though I fully expect the backlash from academia to basically keep me in exile for at least another 4 years even though I supported a giant space rock.) I will confess to being a bit cautiously optimistic here….
“Choose The Form Of Your Destroyer”
So it’s finally here, the end to this shitty ass cycle. Consider this the clip show version of a blog post to fill the day. Honestly, I have no predictions, other than I think Blunt holds his seat in my home state. Past that, this is like nothing I’ve seen in my short time on…
Progressive Virtue Signaling And Taxing “Sin”
So, let’s turn a bit local for a second. The MO constitution is insanely easy to amend (something I hope the MO Legislature will fix some day) effectively making it a “dumping ground” for whatever the idea du jour is. Enter Missouri Amendment 3, a tobacco tax of fairly epic proportions (considering MO’s low tobacco…
Who Put WHO In Charge Of Anything?
Gizmodo has a bizarre article up suggesting the World Health Organization (WHO) is about to change the definition of “infertility” such that it now includes single people. (Link to my twitter in case you don’t feel like giving Gizmodo clicks but want to see the headline.) Apparently WHO is not a fan of Gizmodo’s characterization…
Elections Have Consequences, But It’s the Other 1,460 Days That Matter
Once again a presidential election looms. And indeed, the phrase “elections have consequences” is being bandied about as it always is every four years at this time. Only now, considering the abject destruction wrought by Barack Obama and his minions to our economy, our culture, our security, the rule of law and our way of life over…
Thoughts On @Avik’s Recent Altantic Interview.
Hi all! My writing will be light over the next few weeks/months as I triple down on my dissertation to try and wrap things up. Also, if you couldn’t tell I’m just sorta fed up with this political season and am mostly considering what comes next. In that vein I wanted to take a look at…
A Complete Lowlife. And Then There’s Trump.
Let me state this right off the bat. What Donald Trump said 11 years ago is completely disgusting and beneath the pale. As a Ted Cruz supporter, and also given the fact that Mike Pence is Trump’s running mate, the whole thing is made exponentially more painful to have to endure. But let’s step…
Blog War 2.0: What Is Culture?
So as you can see, Co-Blogger CBD wrote a big thing about boycotting the NFL and pleasure shaming and the like. I’m apparently whiny and delusional, but it’s OK, I’m a conservative academic, I’m used to having names thrown at me. I probably am both of those anyway. There are however, 2 points I think…
Nobody Shamed You, So Stop Whining Like Entitled Millenials…
The charming but thoroughly deluded youngsters over at Marginally Honorable Chairman, in their latest profanity laden but logic-light podcast, ranted and raved about some imagined slight perpetrated on their honor, their independence and their entertainment pleasures by the big fat meanie Ace, at AoSHQ. It’s a hysterical overreaction to several suggestions from Ace (and one…
