Latest musings, analyses, and general madness
Can someone please explain to me why the Trump administration is taking a hardline, seemingly principled stand against Maduro’s crumbling socialist regime in Venezuela, while petting and praising Kim Jong-un’s far more deadly, far longer-lasting communist catastrophe in North Korea? Venezuela is of relatively little strategic interest to the United States, while North Korea is situated at the heart of a major point...
Dianne Feinstein became an unexpected recipient of approbation from many so-called conservatives this week, thanks to her response to a group of indoctrinated teenage automatons who confronted her with demands that she support the Green New Deal, combining the ignorant sloganeering of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with the unrelenting hatred of these little brats’ spiritual progenitor, Bernardine Dohrn, aka Mrs. Bill Ayers. (Take that, feminists!) ...
There is some reporting this week that Kim Jong-un is trying to shore up his hold on power in an emaciated and dying “nation” by culling his population of anyone who still has money or food. According to Andrew Jeong at The Wall Street Journal, Kim has exiled, imprisoned or executed suspected opponents of his diplomatic outreach to the U.S. and South Korea,...
The state governments of both Illinois and Iowa are currently taking aggressive legislative action to impose mandatory and periodic government invasions on private homes where children are homeschooled, in order to ensure that the government’s intellectual and moral indoctrination benchmarks are being met. In other words, these states, like most governments around the world that tolerate any level of homeschooling, are making a...
Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, from the U.S. state of Little Somalia (the former People’s Republic of Minnesota), has officially apologized to American Jewish groups for her many statements which might have given the (correct) impression that she harbors anti-Jewish paranoia and blames Israel for every world problem and essentially wants all Jews removed from politics and decent society. Always nice to see peace...
I read a little post at the anti-Trump news site Newsblender, regarding Russia’s recent hardline position with Japan over some disputed islands, and Putin’s implied warning to Japan to sever its strategic alliance with the U.S. One reader’s comment on that post observed, “Russia sees a weak American leader. They will take each and every opportunity to flex their muscles.” You could literally...
Even the most beautiful experiences must finally come to an end. Thus it is that after a luxurious, put-your-feet-up sojourn at Camp Xanadu, I am at last facing the prospect of returning to the humdrum reality of everyday life. One of the most disappointing aspects of such endings is that one is rarely able to extend the ease and enjoyment all the way...
Donald Trump enthusiastically praised Rush Limbaugh’s weekend performance licking Trump’s boots in an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News. A day earlier, he praised Kim Jong Un again, boasting about how much he and the sex-slave-owning commie murderer like each other. Maybe Trump just has a thing for fat, self-important liars who know how to flatter his ego for personal advantage, but...
The Democratic Party desires amnesty for illegal immigrants, leading to citizenship, because they wish to unbalance the southern states in favor of socialist-raised, low-education drones who can be herded into buses to vote for government handouts, i.e., socialism. The Republican Party, owned by the Chamber of Commerce, desires amnesty because they want cheap, low-skilled labor, and regard electoral demographics as beneath them. In...
I am back to where I started, trying to think and write in the midst of the cackling hollowness of the young and mindless — this time a gaggle of twenty-somethings shouting and laughing uproariously about the same nothingness with which teenagers had surrounded me two weeks before. Again I exhaust every resource of the mind in a life or death struggle against...
