Donald Trump and the Sovereign Rights of God

Many Catholics, on both sides of the political spectrum, continue to struggle with how to cast their votes in November. Some conservative Catholics struggle with the Republican Party’s changed platform and wonder if they can still vote for a Party that’s no longer pro-life. Some liberal Catholics struggle with the impact of excessive immigration on the urban poor and wonder if they can still vote for a Democratic Party that ignores it.

Several highly respected Catholic authors have written on th...

The Significance of the Passage of Time

DANA BASH: “You’ve been Vice President for three and half years. The steps that you are talking about now, why haven’t you done them already?” KAMALA: “I’m very proud of the work we have done.”

She was speaking, you understand, but the main thing you noticed was the musical quality of her voice: sonorous, resonant, like one of the more obscure woodwind instruments, an alto clarinet or a basset horn, producing a sound like unto creamy dressing over the familiar word-salad of iceberg lettuce.

It w...

Fed Tells Wall Street, Giddy-Up! Again!

This is getting just plain sick, and not in the good sense as the millennials use the term. With gold, the Dow and home prices at all-time highs, other US equity indices and cryptos near all-times highs, and a bubble in Mag 7 stocks more extreme that the 1999-2000 Dotcom Bubble ever was, the Fed is actually fixing to cut rates at its next meeting.

Giddy-Up! Or as the astute folks at Northman Traderdinged,

Now that our ‘restrictive’ monetary policy has brought asset prices back to 200% market cap...

How Do You Explain This?

Acording to the ethnological/anthropological literature, our archaic ancestors would have nearly all been diagnosed with O.D.D. That’s “Oppositional Defiant Disorder.” That is, our distant relatives had serious “problems with authority” — in other words, they had problems with being told what to do.

Briggs (1970:55-58) tells us in detail how religious services were conducted in iglus [igloos] and how Inuttiag (in the role of religious coordinator) tried at certain points to get h...

The American Way of War

The purpose of the war is “extermination, not of soldiers alone, that is the least part of the trouble, but the people.”

Letter from General Sherman to Mrs. Sherman, July 31, 1862

“[H]ad the Confederates somehow won . . . they would have found themselves justified . . . in stringing up President Lincoln and the entire Union high command for violation of the laws of war, specifically for waging war against noncombatants.”

Lee Kennett, Marching Through Georgia: The Story of Soldiers and Civilia...

EU to Telegram – We’re Coming To Get You

The Pavel Durov saga is a gift that will keep on giving for a long time to come. This is what hot information war is all about. So let’s attempt to connect several loose ends.

A high-level Russian analyst makes the case that Durov’s arrest is connected with “anti-French protests in its former colonies, withdrawal from its traditional ‘sphere of influence’ where Telegram infrastructure was used to push anti-colonial and anti-Macronist narratives”.

Add to it an “attempt to influence narratives on ...

Evidence Mounts for Kamala Role in J6 Plot

For a criminal defense attorney, the scariest moment in any trial is when his client unwittingly opens the door to otherwise inadmissible evidence.

On Thursday, during her acceptance speech, Vice-President Kamala Harris opened that door. The Trump people would have preferred that no one at the DNC talk about January 6, but Rep. Jamie Raskin shattered that hope on the convention’s opening night in a speech so laden with lies Satan was envious.

Harris was much more careful, too careful. So crafted...

Should the State Ban Cell Phones in Its Public Schools?

An editorial in the Los Angeles Times endorses the growing trend to ban cell phones in public schools. The editorial points out that school districts all across the country are enacting such bans. The Times writes:

The 2024-25 school year may be the tipping point when adults act to curb kids’ phone addiction and regain their attention. It’s about time…. Nearly three-fourths of high school teachers surveyed last fall said that students being distracted by their cellphones in the classroom was a m...

Concerning Kamala

Okay, kids, Kamala was a joke, a punch line, but suddenly she isn’t, and by a long shot to boot. We no longer have an old stuttering gaga making a fool of himself in the White House, but a new Jeanne d’Arc, defender of America, capitalism, socialism, blacks, Jews, Eskimos, even Palestinians. It’s the latter’s mention by Kamala in her acceptance speech that caught my ear, as I didn’t watch any of the ludicrous, megalomaniacal, boastful, and basically dishonest goings-on in Chicago. I’ve until now...
