I’ve barely been posting much lately because of our latest “DYF entanglement.” While I am not under any gag order (which is usually the case with such Family Court business as DCYF cases), much of our time (TMEW and I) has been spent either taking care of our granddaughter or doing a lot to fulfill upgrades to our home.

America IS Being Remade And Not In Our Founders’ Design
Almost as soon as Obama uttered those fateful words “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” we have been undergoing a cultural and political revolution without a shot being fired. And most of us never knew what was coming – or did.
Palate Cleanser – Mark Roper Decides To Re-Engineer A Whiffle Ball to Beat The Pros
I can’t remember that far back as to when I last played whiffle ball. I do remember, vaguely, that I wasn’t enamored with it – I wasn’t all that good at it. So normally when a video of guys playing whiffle ball shows up in my feed, it’s swipe left.
Seriously, Second Amendment Haters – What Percentage of Gun Crimes Are Committed By …
There are a lot of numbers and stats out there, as well as gun-grabbing groups spouting “White Extremist!” and “Right Wing!” as soon as news of another mass shooting flashes across the Left-leaning Mainstream Media.
“Time to Grow Up & Back To Work” – An Ad That Also Makes Sport of Wokeness
This has been lying around in my stack of stuff for a while, but it is still amusing. It is an ad for a recruiting firm, RedBalloon, that contributor Pam Brown referenced back in 2021 (“Finding Freedom“).
A Reminder: The Difference Between “Equality” and “Equity”…
I wish more people really understood the difference between the two as I believe it is one of the most pernicious uses of the Left’s “redefining our Common Language out from underneath us all.”
Why Is It in JUST This One Area, Society Has Decided to NOT Protect Children?
A simple nick on the neck (not by TMEW or me) was enough to get us “DCYF entangled” into caring for the Granddaughter. Yet, there is a highly monied, highly politically organized, and narcissistic movement (yes, the Trans-Authoritarians hell-bent on helping in reducing our traditional American norms to rubble) that demands that much more harmful acts should be blessed.
Peak Trans Nitwittery: “Mandatory” Pronouns That Can’t Be Spelled and Are “Unsayable”…
First, it was “regular pronouns but with orders to use them in ways that broke standard English. All because of somebody’s idea that their professed sexuality was meaningful to me (note: no, it isn’t, and I still don’t care).
China Dumps the Pretense” – Abandons the Paris Climate Agreements; Will Eco-Socialists Call China “Selfish”?
After all, after years of commenting over at Treehugger, that was the normal response. Anyone not going along with the 1.5-degree lifestyle to save GAIA was a self-centered climate denier who is so selfish as to doom everyone to a fiery Hell on Earth. Thus, showing us that they hated themselves almost as badly as … Read more
No Wonder the LGBT Movement Wants to “Dump the T”?
Back in March, I wrote that a new movement was starting to come into view. Instead of using “Trans-Authoritarians” (except in the title), I used “Trans-Bullies”. However, the message was clear: the LGBs aren’t groovin’ with the T’s (Transgenders).
“CNN Says Infant Deaths Could Be Solved With Abortion.”
Headlines at big corporate media outlets typically go through a process. So what process resulted in a headline by CNN that lead someone else to write this gem: “CNN Says Infant Deaths Could Be Solved With Abortion.”
How About a Jet Powered BBQ Grill?
I have to admit, my Jettiness series has had a lot of jet-powered stuff but I have NEVER come across a jet-powered barbeque grill. Your simple, ordinary home barbeque, normally using briquettes or propane, is now using a jet engine?
I Did NOT Have This On My Bingo Card: Democrat Mayor Wants To “Get Rid Of Most Taxes”
How many times do you hear a Democrat happily say “Sure, we can deep-six that tax. And do you want to kill another one?”. PERHAPS if they are looking to horse trade for something more valuable but only “if”. So is San Francisco’s Democrat Mayor London Breed starting to see the wisdom of letting people … Read more
Data Point: 2024 Presidential Campaign – the Small Donor Race
Very interesting… It’s now on: the marathon-length sprint to the second stage finish line (Primaries). Candidates have weighed their options on “Can I? Should I?”, staffing, strategy, media coverage (earned and unearned/paid), travel teams, destinations & events, and their policies. And in the early States, endorsers and volunteers. And EVERYTHING is turned into a race … Read more
If You Are Here You are Not Normal.
“If you’re reading this, you’re not normal.” That’s right; you’re not normal. Why? The vast majority of Americans don’t focus on politics. What can they tell us about 2024?
“What Is Leftism?”Good Question; It’s Not What You Think
Conservatives, Libertarians, Independents, Liberals, Leftists (Socialists, Communists, and Fascists); all are political labels. Unlike many folks, mostly on the Left, I think that “labels” are perfectly good and are rather accurate in “pre-describing” what values and thought processes a person would generally display.
For Climate Change, Democrats Depend on Fear Mongering Instead of Actual Science. Like Actual Carbon Isotopes Analysis?
Bottom Line: “Our results show that the percentage of the total CO2 due to the use of fossil fuels from 1750 to 2018 increased from 0% in 1750 to 12% in 2018, much too low to be the cause of global warming.” Now for the rest from the Health Physics journal (tracking radiation safety) and … Read more
Its Why They Also Preach “We HAVE To Be On A ‘War Footing’ For EVERYTHING!”
Keep people frightened, scare them with cherry-picked data, and don’t teach them Earth’s history. Then is it any wonder why Democrats are so worried about climate change? It builds groupthink and Otherizes the rest of us.
The “No Labels” Party Tricksters. They Call Themselves Problem Solvers. And Then Give Themselves a “Label”?
Putting aside that calling themselves “No Label” IS a label, it’s clear, after reading their Policy website, they have already labeled themselves. Calling their Policy website CommonSenseMajority.org is both a message and a label.
Freedom, Protectionism, and Selling The Rope By Which Anti-Capitalists Will Hang Themselves
Economic Freedom: “[E]conomic prosperity comes and goes as adherence to the principles of economic freedom comes and goes.” – John Taylor (First Principles) And this is because we elect those that promise much that Government will do for them while never saying that the tradoff is the reduction in Freedom for how you can … Read more
