Revolution!

*For those of you worried about how late I am: My thyroid has gone a big insane again, in the sense of extremely low. Yes, tests have been made and blood drawn for further tests. I’m currently waiting for results so we can figure out how/where to start with medication. Until then, I’m back on aderal, simply because the alternative is being almost comatose. But I’m having trouble functioning and, as per aderal, go down many many rabbit holes if I’m tired. It’s like Super-ADD-SAH*

I don’t ...

Deals With The Devil

What would you do if a gentleman with horns and a pointy tail met you in a dark alley — or a bright sunlit office — and offered you fortune, fame and love in exchange for your soul?

Well, obviously, whether you’re a believer or not, you’ve heard this story often enough that you’d say no. If you’re a believer you’ll say so even if the well dressed gentleman — a man of wealth and taste — offers you the kingdoms of the world. Because you’ve read THAT story.

Alas this is rarely how you sel...

An Order of Values

I was raised by a father who loved nature. He believed very much in not doing any damage to nature that didn’t strictly need to be done. For instance, instead of cutting a Christmas tree he would cut a branch of a tree, so he wouldn’t cut an actual tree.

On Saturdays he would take me on nature walks in the nearby woods, and he knew the name and habits of every bird and animal. He showed me the tadpoles in the little creeks, and took me in the evening to see the fireflies by the lake. He...

So I’m a Sociopath. So What? – by Holly Chism

So I’m a Sociopath.  So What? – by Holly Chism

I’ve seen, over and over, on farcebook and other social media spots, a new bunch of calumny. 

First: that letificles are empathetic.  They just care so hard, y’know? 

And second:

I call bullshit.  Twice. 

First, that leftists are empathetic: no, they’re not.  Leftists are split between narcissists who play victims, sociopaths who enjoy using people and watching their pain and confusion, and victims that emote rather than thinking....

Attack On the West

I’d like to point out what’s been happening on our Southern border is not “immigration” of any kind. Not legal (obviously) not illegal (though what is happening is illegal) and not refugees of any kind, either.

What’s been happening is unprecedented, it’s happening all over the West (look up poor little Italian islands overwhelmed by waves of illegals from Africa and Middle East) and it is in fact an attempt at extinguishing the West and its uniqueness.

Now you can insert a lot of st...

As the days begin to lengthen the cold begins to strengthen

By Holly the Assistant

Some of us really enjoy the snow and cold, and such outdoor activities as are available this time of year.

Rocket, living her best life.

Others prefer to find a warm spot and glare balefully at the world.

Gertrude, on top the microwave. (You explain to her that you need to wipe the top of the microwave. I’ll watch from way over here.)

Humans being humans, and fairly stubborn and defiant at that, when it’s 2 F out (that’s -16.67 C), and hasn’t been ...

Thank G-d Almighty, Free At Last

I was very happy when I heard Affirmative Action was ending. The only friend of mine who was happier was the one whose husband is from Africa, and whose kids have even more to lose than my little (huge) mutts.

“To lose?” You say. “But Affirmative Action gives preference to people of color! Surely the fact you were so happy means you want to hold minorities down!”

You — the imaginary voice in my head, or the liberal reading this post to try to figure out the depths of my evil — really ...

“Today is not that day.” by Charlie Martin

“Today is not that day.” by Charlie Martin

“Our long national nightmare is over.” —— Newly-sworn President Gerald R Ford, August 4, 1974

Honestly, I try not to get passionate about politics. Becoming passionate about politics leads to dissatisfaction, which is suffering. The cause of suffering is a thirst to make things be the way you want them to be, which when unsatisfied leads to — you guessed it — dissatisfaction and thus to suffering. The end to suffering is to recognize the thing...
