The “Press” has “fluid” definitions for Free Speech depending on who legitimately gored their ox or whose ox they are trying to gore. And too often, their (retributional) ideological persuasions override their common sense (provided they have some of the latter left): And THIS would be MAGNIFICENT if the MSM would just go away from … Read more
To answer the question in the headline, probably not. As in, no clue at all. Sure, a COUPLE of them might know but they won’t speak up as it would spoil the narrative. But they sure are making a lot of the ages of the DOGE wonderkiddos that are turning up all KINDS of waste … Read more
What kinda set of morons are going to try to take on a pistol-packing momma with “da babe” on her hip? Didn’t they pay attention to Sarah Palin’s “Mama Grizzly” – and this one bringing some hot lead to make somebody’s day? Mother With Baby on Hip Gets in Shootout With Alleged Intruders A Decatur, … Read more
Part 1 went rather long (even for me), so I decided to split the remainder into this post. To recap, Gilford School Board Superintendent Kirk Beitler stated the following when High School Principal Anthony Sperazzo announced the formation (and seeking official backing thereof) of a new student club called “Prism” – a “safe space for … Read more
The market economy is the first economic system that makes it profitable to be colour-blind and look for the best supply and the best demand, regardless of who is responsible for it. Of course, it will not make everyone colorblind, but it does so more than otherwise would have been the case (especially in combination … Read more
Lloyd’s been on a roll/rant about Trump and the tariffs he threatened to put on Canada, wailing and decrying what it was going to do to HIS country’s economy – economic Armageddon. He’s also been on a kick about Degrowth – the far Left Eco-Socialism fantasy that we can kill off 7 billion people and … Read more
“Well, “Taxation is Theft” especially when it is taken by bureaucrats and spent in ways that have nothing to do with America’s interests but spent on Leftist ideological pet projects. We are also supposed to be a Constitutional Republic that is governed by Law passed by Congress. Instead, we’ve gotten this (assembled by DOGE): If … Read more
The Subtitle that’s driving this: “Tolerance is fine but acceptance is the goal.” Title IX simply reads: Title IX simply reads: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving … Read more
My friend Vindaloo Bugaboo and I often “collaborate and amplify” each other’s posts over at the commie enclave Carbon Upfront! to ensure that 1) we are trying to make the other side THINK about what they are writing, 2) get them to “play checkers” and start thinking of ramifications of “Move 1” and the effects … Read more
The lack of homework and research, the inability to track what is happening, and letting all that show. Like the clueless teacher in high school who gets a “Kick Me!” sign taped to his back without realizing what has been done to him. Emphasis mine, but only here on the ‘Grok. This time, the Clueless … Read more
In Part 1, I talked about actions you could take if someone on the Left calls you a Fascist. A vile term meant to stop any further conversation because you are evil beyond compare and unworthy of consideration or debate. But when challenged to define Fascism, Stephen Sheehy, who called Trump a Fascist, ghosted further … Read more
So, given the kerfuffle with tariffs with Canada and Mexico, I thought this might be interesting: And given that I’m driving Canadian blogger Lloyd Alter nuts on tariffs (he still has no clue other than “TAX! Betrayal by an ALLY!”, I dropped this at his place as he complained (paraphrased) “very little drugs going over … Read more
Vindaloo Bugaboo (VB) and I join forces against the array of squishies, socialists, and environmentalists at Carbon Upfront. What we haven’t succeeded in doing is instructing them that they can mandate anything they want when it comes to how people are to live but that they will receive a lot of pushback – by politics … Read more
The gaslighting never seems to stop. But then, again, USAID money? They just can’t seem to figure out why the public’s view of them is lower than whale snot. With this shot, it shows they have little to no self-awareness that they keep making their feet look like Swiss cheese? One would normally think that … Read more
Trump won the Presidency because of stupidity like this. 79% of adults polled agree that boys/men should not play on girls/women sports teams in K-12. But the Minnesota State High School League has told its schools that it and they must obey based on Minnesota law: “In Minnesota, participation and eligibility of transgender student-athletes is … Read more
Riffing off my previous post about Trump (and us) being called a fascist over at “Lessons from the past about how to deal with American tariffs” I had ended it by admitting that I riled up the proprietor of Carbon Upfront!, Lloyd Alter over how Trump used the threat of a tariff against Canada and … Read more
I, admit that I do frequent Carbon Upfront! to debate the Left. That said, at least most of the folks there are normal when it comes to their writing/comments even if it is a bit blinkered regarding Freedom and Liberty. It is, after all, a Left-leaning Eco-Socialist site, but at least the conversations are a … Read more
What the right hears from the Left is that we are “FASCISTS!!!!” (among other epithets” meant to demean their targets and end all rational conversation). The nuance is that Fascists are kissing cousins to Nazis, and you can’t have a normal (sensible) discussion so it devolves into even more crazy screeching from them. The proper … Read more
Monomaniacal socialist 15-minute-city kind of guy, Lloyd, has little empathy for conservative folks who just want to be left alone and make their own decisions in their own “pursuit of Happiness,” be it in suburbia or rural areas. To give his rant a bit more context (something he generally shrugs off as of no account), … Read more
WE’RE USED TO HAVING PEOPLE IN THE USA WHO DON’T WANT TO BE AMERICANS – WE CALL THEM PROGRESSIVES: Go ahead, give me the names of “Progressives,” in this partisan environment, that agree that the America that our Founders envisioned is the one they want – and legislate. I doubt very much you’d find many, … Read more
