In attempting to assure Maui residents that help would eventually come to them, the White House tweeted they were — ahem — laser-focused: 2. We're laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginably difficult time. We have staff on the ground dedicated …

The Chronicle of The DC, 24 Aug 23: Fomenting Toxicities [Updated]
The same city that tolerates homelessness and welcomes illegals who add to it, could not be clueless as to the public health degradation that had to come with it. The city of Los Angeles will issue a citation for washing one’s car in one’s driveway. The object was to penalize addition of untreated soap which …

The Chronicle of the DC: 17Aug23 Maui
Please point out — to anyone who will listen — the Sustainability agenda of every major Western institution. It’s a religion with them. Their moral code is not that of decent human beings. To these neo-pagan Sustainability worshippers, sacrificed human life is what is sacred to them. The Progressive Movement — with its Sustainability priests …

At The Third Level
In this country, the third level is where the action is – the sociopolitical action, at least. The physiological and safety levels are well-served for more than 90% of our population. Where we’re most vulnerable is in our desire for acceptance. Not that the Left hasn’t tried its damnedest to attack our physical …

Blinding Flashes Of The Obvious Dept.
I hope you had a good Independence Day, Gentle Reader. Now for the news! If you’ve been waiting for an anchor point on the “obvious” curve, I’d nominate the following as “Duh”-level: You can no longer have an American nation, if the son of the President of the United States successfully connives to …

Pretending As Policy
You’ve probably seen this cartoon: While it originated during the Obama years, it expresses today’s theme in a particularly striking way. America’s cities are in a state of chaos. Crime of all sorts is exploding. The American food supply is being threatened with restrictions in the name of “climate change.” (Of course, …

The Totalitarians And The State Of Fear
My acquaintance with the works of the late Michael Crichton isn’t deep. However, I have read what many consider to be his best novel, State of Fear, and was greatly impressed by his insight into the desires and methods of contemporary power-seekers. A fearful populace, that shrinks from terrors real and imagined, is …

On Pulling Triggers
These statements by baseball great Curt Schilling have just come to my attention: “We’re up against a side and a force that doesn’t play by the rules – refuses to play by the rules,” he said, adding of conservatives: “We get excited, and we get emotional; that’s it. They break the law; they …

They Will Not Let Us Be
Every day brings fresh proof: Violence broke out again in Glendale, CA, after Antifa showed up to a school board meeting at which parents were protesting the school’s promotion of “pride month” and gender ideology. Videos showed police on the scene in riot gear as well as temporary barriers being set up. …

They’ve Discarded All Pretense
Donald Trump is today the most popular political figure in the United States, and one of the most popular this century past. The Usurpers are aware that unless they put him behind bars, come November next year he’ll wipe the floor with whoever they nominate. So they’re denying him a fair trial: Joe …

Worse Than Communism
They said “It can’t happen here.” They said “This is America, where we have rights.” And they said “He wouldn’t dare!” But he has: Scared yet? How would you, Gentle Reader, defend your privacy and property against a ukase such as that of New York City Mayor Eric Adams? Adams will have …

Questions That Go Unanswered
Some are asked by millions: Congress seems to be most effective as a machine for enriching its members. There are a great many members and former members who became hugely wealthy during their tenures there. How? A Congressional salary alone could never account for it. Does a seat come with some sort of …

Testing The Threshold
You’ve surely heard about Cori Bush’s demand for $14 trillion in “reparations” to American Negroes. A little arithmetic makes that $350,000 for every Negro in the country. Well, as unlikely as such an award may seem to you, Gentle Reader, there are Negroes demanding a lot more than that: A local resident told …

Dress Rehearsal Tarantella
First, a little music: Judy Collins singing a grim Leonard Cohen tune: Now that we’re properly depressed, “on with the show.” *** Stephen Kruiser has a warning for us: Because the beating heart of the 21st century Democrats is communism, civil unrest is a favorite tool of theirs. It provides a …

Owing To The January 6 Trials…
…and much else, including such events as the death of black thug Jordan Neely at the hands of a public-spirited Marine veteran, the legal principle – yes, Gentle Reader, it is a principle, not just some libertarian’s half-baked notion – of jury nullification has re-entered the national discourse. It’s actually rather strange that …

Whence The Barbarians?
I do hope you like quotes, because you’re about to get a lot of them: The day will come when a multitude of people will choose the legislature. Is it possible to doubt what sort of a legislature will be chosen? On the one side is a statesman preaching patience, respect for rights, …

A Gloomy Afternoon
I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me, dark, damp weather is the occasion for my gloomiest thoughts. It’s that sort of day on eastern Long Island. I’ve spent most of the day dealing with household chores and minor necessities, basically trying to keep from thinking about “big stuff.” While the “big …

Historian Hanson On the Left Daring Us To Go the Way of Rome
the Left is saying to America something along the following lines, “We are so morally superior to you that we can and must employ any means necessary to achieve our unpopular political ends. But you cannot respond in kind or deter us by mimicking our own tactics, because should both parties do so, the resulting …
