Pre-electoral fraud rears its ugly head in Los Angeles

  I read this report with unalloyed skepticism. Los Angeles County reported Monday that over 27% of the signatures submitted on petitions to recall District Attorney George Gascón were invalid — after reporting that less than 1% of mail-in ballots were invalid in the 2020 election. The county reported that it rejected 195,783 of the… Continue reading Pre-electoral fraud rears its ugly head in Los Angeles

Ever get the feeling we’re being manipulated, and taken for fools?

  When a bunch of leftist politicians say the same thing in almost identical words/expressions, all popping up at the same time, you can bet your boots you’re being conned.  That applies to any political agenda, but to COVID-19 in particular, as Nick Cole points out.  Click the image for a larger view. If that… Continue reading Ever get the feeling we’re being manipulated, and taken for fools?

The technological society doesn’t “need” most of us – but who defines “need”?

  Yuval Noah Harari is one of the policy gurus assisting the World Economic Forum.  He has a distinctly jaundiced view of the future of humanity, as illustrated by these quotations: “AI is not even near its full potential; it’s just in its infancy. We haven’t seen anything yet. So, every 10 years, you are… Continue reading The technological society doesn’t “need” most of us – but who defines “need”?

An open letter to FBI agents and all Federal law enforcement personnel

  I’m no fan of Steve Bannon, but last night he put the FBI raid on President Trump’s residence in Florida in perspective. They’ve weaponized the Justice Department – this had to be approved, going up to the White House to be approved. Absolutely. Anybody saying it didn’t is a liar. This had to go… Continue reading An open letter to FBI agents and all Federal law enforcement personnel

So much for the “value” of money

  Nick Giambruno reminds us: When was the last time you saw someone pick up a penny off the street? A nickel? A dime? Nowadays, even bums often can’t be bothered to pick up anything less than a quarter. The US dollar has become so debased that these coins are essentially pieces of rubbish. They… Continue reading So much for the “value” of money

Why, precisely?

  I nearly spat a mouthful of supper all over my computer screen yesterday evening when I learned that Star Wars “fans” (if such idiots can truly be described as “fans”) are molesting themselves and the series with utterly gormless speculation.  I give you two headlines (no, I’m not going to quote from the articles,… Continue reading Why, precisely?

Refugees, migrants, and crime

  We’ve all seen how the flood of illegal aliens pouring unchecked across our southern border has brought with it greatly increased crime, violence, and social ills.  The Mexican cartels control the trade in human bodies, charging each of them to get them to (and then into) the USA.  In turn, those migrants are threatened… Continue reading Refugees, migrants, and crime

Don’t raise the bridge – lower the river!

  The headline to this post was a feature of a BBC radio Goon Show episode titled “The Sinking of Westminster Pier“, first broadcast in 1955.  It was also the title of a 1968 British comedy movie.  Basically, both plots involved turning accepted wisdom on its head, with comically disastrous results. Not so comical, but even… Continue reading Don’t raise the bridge – lower the river!
