As many of you may have figured out, I live a stone’s throw from Ferguson, in an undisclosed location somewhere in the Greater St. Louis Area. So when the media went nuts over Trump’s “Threat!!!!ELVENTY!” I was reminded of events in the past. Compare: “I think he was expressing a sentiment that a lot of…
There’s No Good Way Out Of This
I keep telling you all, We’re Screwed. But no one seems to listen. To pick on one of my twitter followers: The worst case scenario under Clinton is still better than the best under Trump. — MoeFwacky ⚠ (@MoeFwacky) August 8, 2016 (To be fair I’m not sure the best case scenario under Clinton is…
Counter-Counter-Counterpoint
Well, just as in real life, we at CJN seem to be in the midst of a bit of a contretemps about Mr. Trump, Mrs. Clinton, the 2016 Election and the state of the union today and going forward. That’s not a bad thing; it’s in keeping with the spirit of this website as well…
Blog War: Counter- Counter Point: We’re screwed.
I am, apparently, deluded. So says the man responsible for the existence of this blog in the first place. I should perhaps clarify my original post first. You’ll note that I said (among other things): If you wanted to go this route (and I’m not even sure I would, I’m just brainstorming…) To wit: I’m…
Counterpoint: Protest Voting In This Election Is Naive And Dangerous
My earnest but painfully deluded coblogger seems to think that this election cycle is just one more in a series of American presidential elections that will have consequences that are neither dire nor or existential, and that a protest vote is an appropriate response to two truly awful choices (I don’t count the Libertarian, who…
Plus Ça Change, Plus La Même Chose
Despite being what can only be described as a certifiable model train nut, I’ve also been an armchair model airplane enthusiast for most of my life. My dad built and flew them when he was a kid back in the 30s, and, in fact his brother was a partner in a well-known company from the…
Protest Voting: GOP Edition
There are a lot of people on both sides upset with the outcome of these primaries. I’ll leave to the Democrats to figure out how to send their party a message. But what of us conservatives? The way I see it we have three options: Don’t vote (at least for the presidential race.) Vote for…
Collectivism Is All The Dems Have
But in fairness to them, I guess it sells well. It is their solution for everything though. More tax dollars, and more government regulation will make us all play nice together and solve the nation’s problems. It’d be incredibly cute in a naïve sort of way, if it weren’t so incredibly scary for its totalitarianism….
Twitter’s Catch-22
Sorry for the lack of content. Busy time here at Casa de tsr. I’m getting to this like 3 days late. But just stay with me here. In any case. Twitter has banned Milo (@Nero) [I cannot spell that last name so I won’t try.] Again. Honestly I have no idea what he did. Something…
“We Renounce Tourism In All Its Forms”
In December of 1988, during the waning days of his administration, President Reagan announced that the PLO “had finally met the American conditions for direct talks after more than a decade.” When pressed, [Secretary of State George Schultz] stated that Yasser Arafat had met the “three-part test for substantive dialogue” to commence. He specifically…
