The American Spectator points out the obvious. The water level in Lake Mead is reaching record lows and the popular narrative maintains that drought brought on by human-caused climate change is to blame. But the government’s own data from the Bureau of Reclamation shows this is not true. . . . As can be… Continue reading Lake Mead levels aren’t about climate change, but over-consumption

True dat
A few days ago, Murtaza Hussain of the Intercept tweeted: He’s absolutely right, of course. We saw in World War II how some of the most “civilized” nations on earth degenerated into murderous slaughter machines, killing millions on the grounds that they were “subhuman” or “degenerate”. Those states’ “civilization” was no more than skin… Continue reading True dat
True dat – here as well as there
Courtesy of Legal Insurrection, I came across a couple of tweets. Click either image to be taken to the original tweet. First: I’ve seen precisely that in many less-well-developed societies over the years, at first hand, and sometimes to my grievous cost. Civilization is a veneer that is only skin-deep for many people. Apply… Continue reading True dat – here as well as there
Glenn Greenwald warns that Internet censorship is intensifying
In a series of tweets, journalist Glenn Greenwald – who is anything but right-wing or conservative – warns that overt, in-your-face censorship collaboration between the state and Big Tech is becoming worse and worse. Here’s the Threadreader version of his warning. The regime of censorship being imposed on the internet – by a consortium… Continue reading Glenn Greenwald warns that Internet censorship is intensifying
Quote of the day
From Sarah Hoyt, on her blog: We don’t need a national divorce. We already have that. We’re a separated couple, sharing the same house, avoiding each other at every chance and interpreting the noises we hear as being something exciting like rains of spiders or giving birth to snakes, when really the ex just… Continue reading Quote of the day
“Germany is committing ritual suicide”. Are we risking the same?
That’s the opinion of Michael Yon, who reports on the ground from Europe. The scary thing is, the conditions he reports seeing there are precisely and exactly the same conditions we can see in parts of almost all of our big cities in the USA. I could quite literally, right now, take you to… Continue reading “Germany is committing ritual suicide”. Are we risking the same?
“America’s democracy is teetering” – yeah, right!
It’s bitterly amusing – as well as infuriating – to watch the Washington Post trying to spin the political situation in America into some sort of threat to democracy. President Biden paused last week, during one of the busiest stretches of his presidency, for a nearly two-hour private history lesson from a group of… Continue reading “America’s democracy is teetering” – yeah, right!

From Josh Daws on Twitter (clickit to biggit): I entirely agree. Pedophiles. Firewood. Stakes in the ground. Some assembly required. Peter
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
