The concept expressed at left here reminds me of an embarrassing admission I’d like to to make. When a conservative acquaintance who had actually been at the Capitol on January 6th to protest the “stolen election” told me that the …

Bernie’s One of a Kind
As suggested here, Bernie Sanders is a wonder. How does a man with such unshakable integrity succeed in American politics? Hell, he would have been president if the DNC hadn’t cheated him out of the nomination in 2016. Even my …

Americans Have Liberal Values That Are Frustrated By Big Money
This is Andrew Breitbart, the founder of far-right Breitbart News. And he’s correct here: even though there are right extremist news sources (like his own, and a few cable “news” channels) the left does control the narrative. But this isn’t …

Correct and Incorrect Ways To Display the Nazi Flag
Good point here. My dad brought nothing home from the war. His brother John, by contrast, got a Nazi uniform with full regalia, and a ****load of mortar shells, which I found by accident in a large box shoved in …

Investigating the January 6th Insurgency
The same body (The U.S. Congress) who conducted eight separate investigations into Benghazi over the course of 15 months, including 11 hours of testimony from the person most directly involved (and found no evidence of wrongdoing) are now refusing to …

Is the PC Culture Really “Corrosive?”
I’ve heard lots of people say that political correctness is equivalent to shutting down free speech, but I’ve never understood it. Take the most offensive and least PC thing you can think of. Maybe it’s the Proud Boys saying that …
Insurrectionist Demographics
I guess I can see that 14% of these morons are women, but I’d love to get a read on the 6% (of the 600 = 36) of the insurrectionists who aren’t white. Who else is storming the Capitol demanding …
Trump and McConnell Are Not “Worthless”
I try not to be pedantic, but “worthless” is very clearly the wrong word here. Both these people are extremely powerful forces that are aimed at everything people of decency and compassion abhor: • Making rich people richer, while making poor …
