Wishful Thinking Dept.

     In a column that reports on a crazy “professor” decrying Shakespeare as a symbol of “white supremacy,” Lincoln Brown deposeth and sayeth:      There is no shortage of funds and support for black, brown, or native people to make their own movies. Let us have a new version of “Arrow to the Sun” made …

Keeping Americans In Line Is Getting Harder

     Apparently, the news stories about murders, rapes, muggings, apartment block takeovers, and so forth have had an effect:      Openness or hostility to rising diversity serves as a clear dividing line between voters supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election and those backing former President Donald Trump. A 56% majority of …

Europe Is Self-Immolating

     And her Establishment is in favor of it:      The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) has published a report warning of the danger that “whiteness” and “Europeanness” pose to the European Union.      That alone is a blockbuster. But read on:      “In most countries, non-white and Muslim people were underrepresented in candidate …

Genesis And Catastrophe

     As appropriate as the title of this piece is, I feel slightly guilty about it. It’s also the title of a brilliant Roald Dahl story. I shan’t tell you any more about that story; find it, read it, and reflect on the tragedy it foretells.      The laws of cause and effect are inadequately …

Cue Napoleon’s Maxim

     The mess called California has had several architects, but none more prominent nor proud than Gavin Newsom. Yet Democrats are pondering whether he should replace Joe Biden as their 2024 presidential nominee. Let’s not interrupt them as they do so.      Twenty years ago, California had passed a law, the Defense of Marriage Act, …

I know there’s a word for this

It’s when you’re so brainwashed that every hard lesson ever learned by your ancestors is wiped clean from your skull, and you go through life making horrible mistakes because you never learned from history. What brought this to mind? A news story about a German woman who was killed by someone she should have avoided. …

Tolerable Diversity, Mandatory Unity

     That shibboleth word “diversity” just might have had its day. The myriad examples of what happens when a government attempts to compel “diversity” upon an institution or a society make it fairly plain that the notion is toxic. Resistance to such compulsion is mounting and will soon become insuperable.      It’s been the case …

A Voice Of Sanity

     In publishing this transcript of a recent speech by Dutch activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek, Maura Dowling has done America and Europe a tremendous service. Please read it all.      “Diversity” has never meant what its shouters claim it to mean. It means the elimination of the white race. Note that no majority-black country is being …

From Tolerable To Intolerable…

     …can be a very short journey indeed. Whether it’s possible depends on whether the State decides the protection and promotion of some human aberration would serve its interests. Buckle your seat belt and fold your tray-tables; this ride could get bumpy. ***      I’ve ranted before about how the politicization of transgenderism has transformed …

Constraints

     [A short story for you today. This one will be rather pointed, I fear. It was inspired by an essay I read about an hour ago. That piece, which I’ll link at the end of this one, harmonized so perfectly with my own convictions and the process by which I reached them that I …

Is it just me

Or is there anyone else out there who reads an article like this and thinks “Nothing I can do about it. I hope they hit D.C.” So what is to be done? Well, we can vote the bums out, but even if we do, all too many Republicans are just as squeamish as Democrats about …

The Diversity Hire strikes again

She’s either dumber than a wet sack of hammers, or she’s evil. There are no other options. In Monday’s oral arguments for Murthy v. Missouri, Jackson appeared to be skeptical that the government could not censor social media posts in “the most important time periods.”“ My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment …

“Let The Bodies Hit The Floor!”

     Nothin’ wrong with me…      Nothin’ wrong with me…      Nothin’ wrong with me…      Nothin’ wrong with me…      Oh fudge…who do I think I’m kidding? ***      Courtesy of Ace’s long and detailed piece of yesterday, I’ve only just become aware of what he’s styled “GamerGate 2.0.” You may recall the original …

What Must Be Said

     If we can’t bring back the idea of personal agency and responsibility for one’s actions, along with a societal moral code of right and wrong, we are doomed. — Weird Dave at AoSHQ      Bravo. It cannot be said too often or too loudly. But note that the Left, principally through its “DEI” and …

Yes, they really are that stupid and evil.

The government thinks that ARs can shoot 600 rounds a second. And one of the Democrat idiotic trained barking seals on the court thinks that’s totally wrong. It’s 800 rounds a second, according to that diversity hire who can’t define a woman. Well, no wonder people are so afraid of the AR platform! That wimpy …

True dat

I found that on this post on Twitter. Or X. Twix? Whatever you want to call it now, but someone has a video that was taken in Sweden where a blonde liberal female reporter tried to show just how wonderful all that vibrancy and diversity was. And, well…. it didn’t turn out well for them. …

It Doesn’t Matter If It Succeeds

     Just yesterday, I wrote about the egregious commercial sin of defining others’ desires and preferences as “wrong.” While it is something we’ve all done from time to time, a commercial concern can’t afford it. You cannot sell dead cats to the Board of Sanitation. Similarly, you cannot sell “diversity” to an audience that’s looking …

“Our Standards? Can He Drive The Baseline? Hit A Three-Pointer?”

     I sometimes lament how little of the news I manage to cover each day. There’s certainly plenty going on. But I have an actual life – the C.S.O. reminds me about that frequently – a home, animals to tend, and miscellaneous other things that deserve some attention. So I miss a lot.      However, …

“Galting” Or Despair?

     You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong. — Ralph Waldo Emerson      For many years, the “work ethic” – i.e., the idea that work is worthy and will be rewarded according to its merits – dominated Americans’ thinking on workplace behavior and employer / employee relations. Granted, the idea wasn’t reflected in the behavior …

Dispatches From The War On Normality

     The guiding principle is only this: If it’s normal and healthful, they hate it and want to destroy it:      A lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by one Denver Public Schools father alleging his two children have been denied their First Amendment rights to have a “straight pride” flag in school may stand …
