A lot of people have been blathering about the Obama and Biden presidencies as colossal failures. Would you like to know who is most heartened by such statements? Then read on. Failure is an evaluation. It requires an assessment of several things: What the operator intended to achieve; Whether he actually achieved it, …

Can I Get A Big Amen?

The Pardon, Continued
Among the more interesting things about Joe Biden’s “unexpected” decision to pardon his son Hunter for his gun felony and federal tax offenses is this: Hunter has the option to decline the pardon. I was aware of this previously, but the legal significance of it had not occurred to me. The acceptance of a pardon …

No Surprise Here
Is anyone sincerely surprised that Joe Biden lied when he said he wouldn’t pardon Hunter? Lying is what Biden does. It’s his specialty. We joke about politicians lying, but when it comes to Joseph Robinette Biden, Usurper of the Presidency, it’s as natural as breathing. Biden’s lies make a mighty long list. He only tells …

Is Serenity Even Possible Just Now?
“I feel that if any songs are gonna come out of World War III, we’d better start writing them now.” – Tom Lehrer The tag end of the Usurper Regime appears determined to trigger World War III: President Biden has authorized Ukraine’s military to use U.S.-provided long-range missiles on targets inside Russian …

A Terrifying Scenario
With all due respect for the American military, there’s been a lot going on in that institution that’s more than a little upsetting. At one time it could be relied upon to act in defense of the Constitution and the rights it enshrines. Today, the matter admits of some doubt. Here’s Lee Smith’s …

It Doesn’t Take Much
I’ve used the following analogy before, of course. (The good ones have a lot of life in them.) Add a cup of wine to a barrel of sewage: It remains a barrel of sewage. Add a cup of sewage to a barrel of wine: It becomes a barrel of sewage. Which segues nicely …

The Open Secret Of The Biden Regime Confirmed
Yes, I’ve written on this very subject. Even so, I had only a vague idea of just how empty the big chair in the Oval Office is and has been: President Biden spends almost as much time on R&R as he does running the country. The 81-year-old commander-in-chief has racked up 532 …

The Open Secret Of The Biden Regime
The “open secret” is that Biden has no part in it. It’s been verifiably true but essentially undiscussed for nearly four years. Today, when columnists-by-trade have started to talk about it, it’s become “newsworthy:” President Joe Biden—if we can still give him that title—appears to be using his last three months as the …

When They Eat Their Own
It can be glorious to watch: Vice President Kamala Harris, hoping to distance herself from President Biden’s unpopularity on the economy, plans a new focus on middle-class worries and woes. Why it matters: Beginning in North Carolina later this week with her first policy speech, and continuing next week with the Democratic …

How It’s Done
I’ve been thinking about the attempts by the Usurpers to dismiss all the videos of Biden stumbling, freezing, “losing time,” and wandering around as if lost as “cheap fakes.” That’s the wrong approach. Aristotle would have told them. The best approach is to start with what Aristotle called encomium. The dictionary defines encomium …

Stating It Clearly Edition
The Biden Regime is now openly blackmailing the nation: As Republican governors circle the wagon around Texas, President Biden on Saturday doubled down on a reluctant agreement to secure the southern US border – but only if Congress passes a bipartisan bill that would also allocate funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and …

Alea Iacta Est
Apparently, the Border Patrol doesn’t plan to cut through the razor wire. Twenty-five states are backing Texas’s toughening of its border. And a conspiracy to keep Donald Trump out of office has formed and is operating. Are there any classics scholars among our Gentle Readers? *** Once you demonstrate yourself …

The Method Remains Unspecified
This recent column from Victor Davis Hanson nicely sets out the major indicators of impending national collapse. He’s also candid about the absence of an evenhanded rule of law when political questions or prominent politicians are involved in a controversy. He leaves no question about the international consequences of such a collapse. I read …

They Want You To Notice
It’s been a while since the term studied insult was common in American discourse. Yet the thing itself has been much with us these past few years, so it’s well to understand what the term signifies: studied insult: An insult carefully designed to pertain to a particular person or group, such that the insulted …

Abomination (UPDATED)
I could write about many things this morning. The “Future Columns” folder has six entries in it, and alongside those items there’s a lot of commentary possible about the Synod taking place in Rome just now. But one item that might strike my Gentle Readers as essentially trivial has lit my boiler, and I …

A Lost Battle
Once power-worshippers get into power, they will bend their fullest efforts to remaining there. And with command of the engines of state, they have a pretty good chance of getting their way. You don’t think so? You believe a “democracy” will correct for such things? That “the people,” bless their shriveled little hearts, …

Mask Droppings Dept 2023-09-13
I never expected anything this brazen, even from the Usurper Regime: The White House sent a letter to top US news executives on Wednesday, urging them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans after Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, despite having found no evidence of a crime. …

A Must-Watch
Tucker Carlson has distinguished himself as one of the bravest media figures of our time. Perhaps in times past he was inhibited against speaking his mind by the attitudes and dictates of his employers at FOX news. No longer. The two-minute video below is an example of what he’s willing to say now: …

The death of America (Long live America!)
Back on the ye oldde Goolag blog, I had a tag that I used quite a bit called “The Death of America”, highlighting all the various ways that this country was dead and gone. A zombie, shambling around with no brain, no heart and no soul. Yesterday, our host asked if we were awake yet. …
