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…
Of Parallels and Wasted Opportunities
As some have rightly postulated, most notably and eloquently Andrew C. McCarthy, there are frightening parallels between the international Marxist/Leftist/Progressive movement and “radical” Islam (“radical” in quotes because most adherents to the faith don’t see the butchery being done by other adherents as radical at all). Both are totalitarian and absolutist, relying on both…
“Don’t Fire Until You See the Whites!”
“45 Years Later, the Revolution IS Being Televised.” UPDATE: In the wake of last Thursday’s massacre of police officers in Dallas, I felt it timely to repost this essay from last September. Unfortunately, as the Republican and Democrat conventions approach, and then Election Day, I fear things are going to get worse. JJS. 24…
Civil War, Rumors of Civil War, and Donald Trump
Last night, five police officers were assassinated, and five others and one civilian critically wounded by what can only be described in my view as a coordinated terrorist attack during a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas. One perpetrator is dead and another is apparently in custody. The names and other details of the shooters’ identities have…

Be smart enough to not conflate them. — Bob Owens (@bob_owens) July 7, 2016 Bow Owens has been, in my opinion, a very fair analyst of these cases…
A Debate @ThePlumLineGS Doesn’t Want To Have.
A tweet that will get you blocked in under 30 seconds This is a debate you really don't want to have. https://t.co/nZzSecGQcR — President Dawg (@PresidentDawg) July 6, 2016 If GS’s tweet doesn’t show up, the paraphrase is that he wants Paul Ryan to justify saying the FBI put Clinton “above the law.” [Update: Here’s…
The Joys And Loneliness Of Being A Stay At Home Dad
I thought I’d take another break from politics to muse a bit about my current position. I have reflected on the changes in my life before on the blog. I want to stay by saying, it’s been a great joy to be have the luxury to stay at home 4 days a week and take…
The Liberal Conceit That Their Ideas Are All Brilliant: Writ Large In The Failed Experiment Of The EU
It is one of the axioms of good science (a rare thing nowadays) that while ideas and hypotheses and theories are great fun, and often fantastic intellectual challenges, they are all pretty much mental masturbation until they are tested and found to be valid or, just as important, found to be crap, and tossed out….
The British Are Leaving, The British Are Leaving!
CBD graciously gave me permission to stomp his post. Sadly, I’m in a hurry, so you’ll get a drive by: https://twitter.com/zackbeauchamp/status/746311106604445696 The media wasted no time into turning the Brexit vote into RAAAACISM. Because they don’t want to admit that the EU is rapidly falling apart, and central government by fiat is a disaster. As…
