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

“The homeless crisis is a symptom of our society collapsing in real time”

  That’s how Tucker Carlson sees homelessness in America right now.  It’s hard to disagree with him.  Here’s part of the conclusion from the transcript of his opening segment last night. It’s not complicated at all. It couldn’t be simpler. Politicians are making it much easier to be a homeless drug addict in the United… Continue reading “The homeless crisis is a symptom of our society collapsing in real time”

“Wokeness” threatens the very foundations of American health care

  A profoundly disturbing article uncovers the spread of “wokeness” and so-called “anti-racism” in the medical profession in America, and how it threatens patient care, research and many other critical elements.  Here are a few excerpts. This dogma goes by many imperfect names — wokeness, social justice, critical race theory, anti-racism — but whatever it’s… Continue reading “Wokeness” threatens the very foundations of American health care

Creative insults, jewelry edition

  Full marks for creativity to the artist who designed this brooch.  A tip o’ the hat to Phlegm Fatale for sending me the link. It’s certainly original.  I can think of all sorts of situations where a lady might wish to wear something like that, to display her contempt for proceedings, but in a… Continue reading Creative insults, jewelry edition

“The billionaire takeover of civil society”

  That’s the chilling title of an even more chilling article, subtitled “Wealthy ‘progressives’ are shaping political life through a dense web of interconnected NGOs” (non-governmental organizations).  It’s a long article and dense with detail, making it hard to excerpt small portions to gain a sense of what’s going on:  but that very detail makes… Continue reading “The billionaire takeover of civil society”

When schools are turned into indoctrination sausage grinders

  Reports like this one highlight the danger your kids face today if you send them to government schools.  They aren’t all as bad as Seattle’s, but the trend is nevertheless nationwide. Seattle Public Schools recently held a racially charged teacher-training session that convicted US schools of committing “spirit murder” against black kids and demanded… Continue reading When schools are turned into indoctrination sausage grinders

When political correctness meets food… and wins

I’m very glad I don’t have to put up with this crap when selecting a restaurant.  The New York Post reports: The joys of food and cooking no longer matter much in establishment perceptions of the culinary arts. Good luck trying to learn how to tell one tomato from another. The discourse increasingly resembles a… Continue reading When political correctness meets food… and wins

Architecture and moonbats: the struggle is real

I continue to shake my head in disbelief at how extremely liberal/far-left-wing/progressive moonbats can find something ideological in anything and everything they see.  It’s as if they look at the world through spectacles designed to show reality only in politically tinged colors. The latest example may be found in the Guardian, where an article postulates… Continue reading Architecture and moonbats: the struggle is real

The deliberate murder of the Star Wars mythos

I’ve been as disgusted as anyone by the deliberate trashing of the Star Wars mythos by Disney’s final three movies in the franchise.  Their social-justice-warrior, liberal-progressive focus has been blindingly obvious, and box office results have confirmed that many fans have seen through the smokescreen to the reality beyond. Others have seen it as well. … Continue reading The deliberate murder of the Star Wars mythos

Three very important little books that everyone should own

One can argue until the cows come home about politics and partisanship.  Today the latter appears worse than ever, although I’m sure that’s because we can’t go back in time and see how bad it was in earlier generations.  Nevertheless, the “pressure groups” trying to influence society and politics are particularly active, and particularly vocal,… Continue reading Three very important little books that everyone should own
