I went back to the gym on Monday. I’ve been away from the gym for several months, although I can’t say that I haven’t been working out. Anyone who processes trees into firewood knows that it’s a full-body workout. After all, he who heats his house with wood is warmed twice, right? Once when you …

Muh Democracy
If I have to listen to another Democrat hue and cry about “our democracy”, I’m going to puke. There’s a reason we’re not a democracy. We are a Republic, although at this point I would say we’re post republic and post-constitution based on how the government acts. Democracy is mob rule. Our founding fathers knew …

The New Year
If I could give you a graphic representation of my farewell to 2023, it would be me, middle fingers upraised, mouth foaming as I spit curses at the passing year and telling it to go straight to hell and spend eternity choking on the barbed cock of Satan. Sadly, I don’t think that 2024 is …

It’s going to get worse, before it gets worse
Someone points out that we’re already in a recession, even if nobody wants to admit it. Let’s take a look at three key areas. If honest numbers were being used, they would show that GDP growth has been negative for almost the entire time that Joe Biden has been in the White House. That would indicate that …

Open Tabs
Amongst the various open ta bs that I currently have on my browser are two various recipes for chaurice (the Creole version of Chorizo), the Syracuse Casing Company website, Banana Ink stickers, various school websites for my return to the classroom, and then these two articles that have given me a bit of indigestion after …

Horse sense
I was over at Ace of Spades when I saw this graphic: Horses have incredible vision. They can almost see in 360 degrees. But that comes at a price. Their vison at that field is almost two-dimensional. So they can have an incredible field of vision, but it’s rather flat. So young Dave, living in …

I hate to add to the heaviness
But this has been weighing on my mind for two days now, and I have to get this off my chest. 85,000 children. Does that number not look scary enough? EIGHTY-FIVE THOUSAND CHILDREN have been passed off by the Biden regime to unvetted, unknown adults. Some of those went into labor. Unpaid, dirty, unsafe labor, …

Lessons Not Learned
One might think that after Kevin McCarthy worked a deal with the National Socialist Democrat Workers Party, and then was promptly bit in the ass by said National Socialist Democrat Workers Party, people in the GOP might step back from further deals with the National Socialist Democrat Workers Party. Sadly, the GOP establishment has far …

Ah, the joys of country living
So, my sainted mother had some work done to the barn. That work necessitated the removal of a portion of the fence line, and so now I get to rebuild a new fence line to replace the one that came down. In order to support the end of the fenceline, as well as add a …

Vacation over
And how to spot a passive-aggressive soy-boy bitch. As to the vacation, well…. it was awesome. I did a total of about 3,500 miles, hitting up the Tour of Honor sites in Idaho and Oregon. I had to change my rear tire in Boise. I needed to replace my battery in Brookings, OR. I got …

Why are Americans so unhealthy?
Rather than rail against those silly Americans and their horrible diets, let’s ask why their diets are so poor? Tim Pool has mentioned more than once on his broadcast that he and many of his friends, when traveling in Europe, eat the same things they eat here in the states, and they lose weight. When …

An Unmet Need
These days, I am perpetually weary. I know I’m not alone in that. A great many Americans feel more beleaguered than they’ll openly admit. We’re supposed to be the “Can Do” nation, ready for anything and fully prepared to cope with the worst. (“We walk around with hardons and guns blazing all the time.” …

Boiling Over
Links? Who needs links? Not me, not today. You’ve probably already read about all this stuff, anyway. *** Yes, the Left is filled with liars, hypocrites, and criminals of several kinds. Remember that conviction of intellectual and moral superiority? It’s their “Get Away With Anything” card, and they use it freely. Most commentators …

Addictions
First, courtesy of Mike Miles, a prediction from a visionary of a century ago: Brave New World predicted several things: genetic engineering, the end of human parturition, a habit-forming pleasure drug, the virtual abolition of emotion, a rigidly stratified world society, a world government, and more. Huxley’s vision was dystopic: that of a …

At Last Someone Has Said It!
And right out in front of God and everybody, too: According to the sourcelink, the ever-growing number of hockey players who are pushing back against NHL’s “Pride Nights” and refusing to wear LGBTQIA++++++++++++ themed jerseys, is causing the league to “re-evaluate” such events. This is a good thing, and good on the …

Upholstering the Skull
I just encountered this gem: Being an introvert, I spend a lot of time in my own head. — Dio As a colleague of mine likes to say, I resemble that remark. But just as “You don’t have to be Jewish to love Levy’s,” you don’t have to be an introvert to …

Enemies: A Love Story
(Yes, there was a movie by that name. Pretty good movie too, though a trifle bleak. No, this piece won’t be about it.) The polarization of America has reached a level that endangers every man, woman, and child in this country. We no longer “do politics;” we make war, and others make war …

“I Know A Place”
“Hey, I know a place. Let’s go.” – Russell Baker I’ve always had a fascination with the truly remote places: the regions well separated from the main habitats of Mankind. Most such places are islands. If inhabited at all, their populations are small. The mode of life of the denizens is likely to …
