“Mea Culpa: Oregon’s Largest Newspaper Admits Defunding Police Was A Terrible Idea As Homicides Skyrocket.” By ZeroHedge, 4/5/21.

…given the likely loss under the currently constituted Supreme Court, not a good time to sue, and risk a loss that would brick in a precedent. That would give the Left a victory that might well outlast their dominance. Yes, this is – for all but the Stupid and Leftist (but, I repeat myself) – …

I’ve been tired of this COVID Theatre for some time (Yes, the British spelling was intentional – this is a High Theatre Production). So are many, and the numbers in favor of ending it are growing. “For countless unremarkable people, being a COVID hall monitor has provided a sense of superiority and importance. They will …

Well, by now, we should know that that means. Forget the fact that this is Yet Another Bridges & Roads Project (YABARP). Forget that, even for a Make-Work project, this contains a LOT of unrelated pork – the link above has a short list of SOME of them. Remember back just a few years ago? …

Because the Past is Never Truly Dead. https://www.facebook.com/lindaf3/posts/10158208599059542 I lived through that era. My feeling about the more violent protesters, at that ignorant age, was “Well, sure, they committed crimes, but…” Like many, I tried to justify much of the early protests as being driven by ‘good intentions’ (and, we all know where that leads, …

Now, that term – meant originally to refer to the concentration camps run by the Soviet Union, that imprisoned huge numbers of dissidents, wrong-thinkers, schlubs, and others caught up in the madness of a Fully-Leftist-Society-Run-by-Ideologues – was popularized in The Gulag Archipelago, written by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. (I had to check my spelling multiple times to …

How can dollar debasement policies aimed at inflating away the debt ever succeed when it’s these very policies that induce the massive growth of debt in the first place?[1] Dollar debasement IS the OFFICIAL game plan. An endless loop of moronic policy with, if you remember the days of DOS, no ctrl+C (halt execution). Yes, …

Borrowing a quarter of the nation’s entire economic output every year to prop up an ineffective, corrupt status quo is putting a Band-Aid over a tumor. “Do We Really Think A Band-Aid Will Heal A Tumor?” By Charles Hugh Smith, ZeroHedge, 3/27/21 (emphasis removed).

Here’s a little diversity that we so slobber over 24/7. Diversity of opinion, that is. Sensible people in other countries are trying to tell us something: Our resident corps of hysterics and psychopaths seem to prefer the high-explosives approach to ordering the rules-based international order but as this eloquent woman suggests working together to defeat …

The lockdown of the world by politicians following the direction of health care “expert” models has proved to be the absolute worst decision since the leaders of Europe thought the conflict started in July 1914 would be over in a few weeks. It is now clear the lockdowns were used as the main lever to …

Mask-wearing practices in the United States, at this point, are slowly killing me. Yes, KILLING. Over the last year, I’ve become more and more socially isolated. I’ve lost those easy interactions that added so much to my day – with clerks, fellow shoppers, the people in restaurants, at church. I’m what is called HOH – …

. . . it’s ALL b_______. Inflation is already raging, but the government and Fed tell you it is 1.5%. There are 261 million working age Americans and only 127 million are employed full-time, but the government tells you the unemployment rate is 6.2%, when more than 50% of those capable of working are not. …

The idea of a “Mandatory Buy-Back” for guns held in private hands (what the Founders called American citizens). These guns – erroneously labeled “assault weapons” were legal to buy when they were purchased. They STILL are legal to own – so far. But, that phrase ‘mandatory buy-back’. Let’s break it apart. First, buy-back implies that …

This was [Martin] Gurri’s main thrust. The book’s [The Revolt of the Public] striking feature however, was how it seemed so completely to nail the coming Trump and Brexit era – and the ‘anti-system’ impulse behind them. In America, this impulse found Trump – not the other way around. The point here essentially being that …

There is a bill to make EVERY citizen over the age of 17 eligible to be a state militia member – hence, able to own any gun that is legal to use, regardless of federal law.

I actually studied American History in college – BEFORE it became Woke. One of the themes of history is how a problem that is not decisively dealt with will recur, again and again. Truly, you cannot put off for the future, a problem of today. Make a decision. Live with the consequences. End of story. …

Woke can destroy your company. At the very least, it is a non-productive activity, that is destructive to the bottom line. Read here of how some companies got their Woke out.

Someone should write a book: The Education of Valdimir Putin. About the lessons Russia has learned about its Western ‘partners’ since the end of the Cold War. Western engagement with Russia seems to consist entirely of lies, bluster, insults, betrayal, pigeon-like chess playing, pressure tactics (sanctions), intimidation, etc. Such group-think and hostility leads to war.[1] …

My ‘baby’ brother Ron, turns 60 today. I wanted to do something special for him, but really find it difficult. Like me, he’s reached an age where he can afford whatever he wants – and, like me, generally his tastes are simple, and he is disinclined to stockpile cr@p. So, when I found that today …

At the time when political power began soaring, in the 1930s, American political thinking systematically disregarded the danger from government. In the 1940s, as Professor David Ciepley observed, “the State was dropped from American social science, as part of the reaction to the rise of totalitarianism. All traces of state autonomy, now understood as ‘state …
