Anonymity – A BAD Idea

With very few exceptions, bloggers, writers, and commenters should post under their REAL Names. Why? Because: It’s self-evidently untrue that you are speaking “Truth to Power” or “Ready to Lead the Revolution”, if you fear a simple test like putting your signature/name to your opinions. The more anonymous the poster, the likelier he/she is to …

A Change in the Way that Americans Travel Through the World

Almost all Americans travel worldwide with the permission of the American government, through its passport program. That document enables them to receive what services are available in countries that we have embassies in. Those services may be limited in some countries – China, for example, has imprisoned Americans in the past, and still does, should …

Words Cannot Convey…

…how truly horrified I am at this. Cuomo just pardoned some convicted murderers on the way out. “David Gilbert, a Weather Underground member who was convicted of three counts of second-degree murder and four counts of first-degree robbery for his role in the crime that resulted in the deaths of Nyack police Sgt. Edward O’Grady …

Pearls of expression.

If our government took foreign terrorism seriously, we would not have a porous border.[1] But look for more hand wringing over the threat of “terrorism.” And let’s generate more terrorists by killing hundreds of thousands of foreigners becase we’re special. Notes [1] “The War Comes Home.” By Gregory Hood, The Unz Review, 8/20/21.

Some Miscellany, Before I Break for Lunch

Here. And, below, maybe a reason for the concern about getting this done by September 11.

Why Are We Just Hearing About This Now?

Some of the barriers to training and utilizing an Afghani army. The above link leads to a story sourced by NPR, called All Things Considered. One telling part of the story: Years ago, a U.S. general told us that not only couldn’t many of the Afghan officers read or write, but they couldn’t count. He …

If I Hadn’t Seen This, I wouldn’t Have Believed It

Trying to explain to Afghanis how terribly important a picture of a urinal was to American art. No, really – read the linked article – the video is near the bottom. You will be renewed in your determination to Root the Bastards OUT of American Life.

What a CF!

Afghanistan is confiscating US passports, we’re on the brink of another hostage situation, and China is smiling in the background. What to do? Nothing. The Left MADE this mess – let them clean it up, or take the blame for whatever comes. Now. If there were a Machiavellian kind of person/group lurking around in the …

Thinking about Afghanistan, and Previous Wars

Time for a “You Can’t Handle the Truth!” Moment

Random Miscellany in the Middle of the Night

It’s seldom that I manage to sleep through the night. The only thing that keeps me sane is that I can get up, read for a while, and eventually become tired enough to lay down again for a brief return to sleep before my day officially begins. This is a problem that needs to be …

You Can Extend this Thinking, and it Would STILL be True

The Truth About Bums. It’s true of many things. If you think about it, avoidance of realizing that Truth is the Foundation of Progressivism. Most people are responsible for much of what happens to them in life. Now, some events in life are random – being the victim of a crime. Really? Because, although there …

I’m a BIG Fan of Local Groups

As in, block-level organization. The best ones start off as Neighborhood Watch-type. It can be informal (barbeque buddies shooting the bull, and deciding on organizing to keep an eye on the neighborhood. Those who need to walk a dog are likely recruits; they are out there already, and might as well make themselves useful. In …

Must.

Any political settlement that the Afghans pursue to avert bloodshed must include having women at the table. ~ Nancy Pelosi, Statement on Afghanistan, 8/14/21.

More pearls of expression.

This person of apparent European heritage should be charged with cultural appropriation! Comment by Efficacy on “Unusual weapon in road rage…“

Pearls of expression.

It’s no surprise, certainly around here, that the Taliban has won the war without firing a shot, if you don’t count the last 20 years. Comment by gottlieb at Moon of Alabama.

2nd Day, No Vox Populi

I found his new (perhaps temporary) site – here. Let this be a warning: The Co-opted PTB can take you down anytime they want. There is no appeal or recourse. It will be unexpected and sudden. So, make sure to back up regularly, offline. Have an idea of where you could post, should the hammer …

The enemies of our liberty.

Sam Jacobs has provided a disturbing and compelling picture of the Great Reset.[1] In times when words and politics have broken loose from their moorings in common sense, history, custom, and decency, it’s important to educate yourself, at the very least, about how government has completely abandoned the idea of salus populi and its responsibility …

The Meaning of Blood Feud, and How it Affects You Today

Here – at The ZMan. Now, this puts the WWI-WWII entertwined and extended wars into a different perspective. The reaction of the Allied side – Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Japan (yes, JAPAN!), and the late-entering USA – to assign all blame for the mess, and the entire cost of compensating the Allied side for …

Timid, feckless, useless, peckerwood Republicans.

He [Christopher Roach in The Salazar Option ] only wants to tell us that the revolutionary Left is relentless and ruthless, today just as much as a hundred years ago, and won’t be defeated by gentlemanly forbearance and appeasement—which has basically been the posture of the Republican Party in recent decades. As he comments: Thus, …
