The Binary Mind Of The Left

I’ve said before that the left in the twenty first century seems to have a curious form of autism, in which groups are essential, and people who belong to groups are interchangeable widgets.

Not only that, but they have the duty of being interchangeable widgets. How else do you explain the left calling someone a race or gender “traitor” for not thinking exactly the thoughts the left assigned them?

This is a great part of their mind reading schtick. If you oppose them, they know that you wish fo...

Waiting For The Miracle _ A Blast From The Past From February 2014

Waiting For The Miracle _ A Blast From The Past From February 2014

*Yes, I do have guest posts. No, I haven’t even read them yet, much less contacted people to know what name they want them under. It will come.

When we got back there was a lot of “house stuff” and “gardening stuff” to catch up on, and we’re still in the middle of the great office move and reflooring.  BUT I’m making time to look at submitted guest posts this week.  Writing first, is all, which is part of this post below. As I re...

Snakes in the Garden

The New York Times, that bastion of lies and wrongness who went from justifying Holodomor and sweeping it under the rug, to claiming that America was founded to BE a slave state, had a headline that obtruded on my attention when I finally sat down at my computer today (Sorry to be so late, I’m catching up on things left undone the last couple of weeks, including the Everest of laundry.)

It said “America was not a Democracy until Black Americans fought to make it so.”

There are so many errors in...

We’re Home, We’re Safe

Sorry for not updating yesterday or really today. Sorry for not doing a chapter of Witch’s Daughter.

That will happen sometime this week.

I’ll probably resume normal posting tomorrow, but…

We were helping #1son and spouse move. Because the cheapest way was to drive u-haul and their cars, this involved all five family members in a multi-day drive, not counting the way back.  Because they got shorted on u-haul (look, everything is upside down and sideways and as was they had to drive 200 miles to ...

If You Remember Nothing Else

I’m very busy this week — some of you might have noticed

Cosplaying The Revolution

This is going to end badly. Very, very badly.  And the water is going to get very choppy.

To everyone who is old enough and those of us who aren’t but who have read about the sixties and particularly those of us who have followed the glorification and idolization of what was a Soviet agit prop operation using stupid American middle class kids, this is starting to feel like one of those bad remakes.

Mostly because it is.

Older son was born in the last year of the echo boom and for our sins we ra...

Come On, Take It a Blast From the Past From January 14 2016

While some blogs on the right have declared that the United States are already dead, I don’t believe that. After all, a lot of us are still alive.

No, okay, I know we are in a rather icky place, but let’s please be aware that a) this doesn’t mean we’re losing. b) Jerry is probably trying to hack into the email system to send us an email from the afterlife, and the email will say “Despair is a sin.” c) be not afraid.  In the end we win, they lose.  Sursum corda.

But rituals are important. And hu...

I Can See Clearly Now

So who has markers on UFO landing for 2020?  Rain of frogs? Plague of Locusts?

Oh, wait, I’m confused, aren’t I?  Even though I’ve picked up a friend’s resounding refrain of “Let my people go!” the script 2020 is running is “Let’s keep the people captive, and we’ll inflict what we have to on them, up to and including complete and utter destruction, as long as we can keep our spurs on them and our seat on their backs.”

Look, it was predictable. It has been obvious for decades to those of us whos...

Yes. I’m very late. Schedule wise this next week will be crazy. Bear with me. Things should get better after.
