Special Snowflakes are offended – again…

  I had to laugh at a report on Boredpanda.  It seems a 16-year-old girl started work at her first job, and her boss gave her a list of “rules” that offended her (and her father) mightily.  I can’t for the life of me imagine why.  My own parents taught me those rules, in so… Continue reading Special Snowflakes are offended – again…

Smoke and mirrors, wrestling and politics and reality

  I can only say, I wish I’d written this article myself.  It’s that good, that accurate.  It’s raw and in-your-face about where we are now with all the war-talk about Ukraine and Russia. A wise man once wrote, “American politics (and most democratic politics, really) cannot be properly understood without a working knowledge of… Continue reading Smoke and mirrors, wrestling and politics and reality

The Devil’s Panties school of domestic reorganization

  I hate to admit how much I occasionally sometimes often resemble this cartoon in the way I clean up my office and around the house.  Click the image to be taken to a larger view at the Web page of The Devil’s Panties. If you aren’t already reading The Devil’s Panties, it’s one of… Continue reading The Devil’s Panties school of domestic reorganization

The best summary of inflation reality that I’ve yet read

  If you’re still not sure why inflation is bad, or what it’s doing to the value of your money, you need to click over to Aesop’s place and read his brutally acerbic article “Economics 101: Inflation“.  This is why: From 1932 to present, decoupled from actual gold backing, the Fed has stolen 98.9 cents… Continue reading The best summary of inflation reality that I’ve yet read

“The Great Pyramid of Cheese”

  I’m obliged to Francis at Liberty’s Torch for posting this very funny summary of the cheese market.      On one evening not too long ago, a friend of mine, who has an extensive extended family, was dining with most of them. Included were several pre-teens. The bill of fare was, as is common… Continue reading “The Great Pyramid of Cheese”

“A Hinge Moment of History”

  That’s the title of a long, insightful article by Mark Steyn, a transcript of an address he delivered to the Gatestone Institute earlier this year.  I think it’s one of the best-structured and best-argued articles by him I’ve ever read, and I plan to re-read it more than once.  It’s right up there with… Continue reading “A Hinge Moment of History”

Revealed for who and what they are

  A personal friend wrote on social media recently: The covid bull**** did us all a favor. I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out for a minute. All the people demanding more lockdowns, that the unvaccinated be punished, that vaccine passports be required, that mask mandates remain in place forever, and all that… Continue reading Revealed for who and what they are

“They will not stop until they are stopped”

  “Nikolai Vladivostok” blogs at Sovietmen.  He often has trenchant observations about the totalitarian tendencies manifesting themselves in Western society.  Yesterday’s article titled “The Corruption of Power” was no exception.  Here’s an excerpt. And so we come to the Little Emperors of the 2020s. The politicians, bureaucrats and medical experts whose authority used to be… Continue reading “They will not stop until they are stopped”

Y’know, I think he’s got it in one

  Received via e-mail, origin unknown: Looking at the behavior of Antifa/BLM rioters, the whining of the “woke” and the posturing of the politically correct, I reckon they all prove the truth of that!  Sadly, many of those who spoiled their children also failed – or refused – to raise their grandchildren.  Instead, they abdicated… Continue reading Y’know, I think he’s got it in one
