And so another week begins…
Take heart – there will be both a Wednesday and Friday Edition. Last week’s Friday Edition.
Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:
- Ridicule cannot easily be fought
- Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
- For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.
Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

That’s funny right there…
I want to say it was Eisenhower who said something to the effect that before you pass a law giving you more power, try to imagine what your political opponents would do with such a law. But that requires thought, and IMHO a deep sense of honor – neither of which are Leftist strong suits. Remember how The Turtle warned Schumer about switching to a pure majority vote on judicial nominees? A warning that went unheeded… until Trump came in, and Mitch – for all his RINO allegiance – pushed through many judges that would not otherwise have gotten in?
IMHO if you’re a three-time offender, you get deported into the Gulf of Mexico… Pinochet-style. Sharks have to eat too. And after that the recidivism rate is zero.
You have to read that twice, but then… powerful when you get it.
Don’t forget to bring your insulated bucket so you can walk to someone’s home to get a bucket of electrons…
Are there many elections in the US for which this is not a sufficient margin to flip things?
Reminds me of this one:
How many times does the world have to run the “Socialism” experiment and have it fail each and every time before people grasp that it just doesn’t work. Brings to mind this Bill Whittle video (link only):
LOCH NESS SOCIALISM (youtube.com)
Each post I’m including several of these. It makes me wonder – just how many people have to “die suddenly” before it creates a mass, preference-cascade awakening to the harm that’s been done?

Echoes Truman:
“You can’t get rich in politics unless you’re a crook. – Harry S. Truman”
― Harry S. Truman
I remember, growing up in the “Peoples’ Republic of Cambridge, Marxachusetts”, hearing all sorts of bad things about Goldwater. But then I stumbled on Reagan’s “A Time for Choosing Speech” – and not only did I come away awestruck at Reagan’s delivery, but the power of what he said:
“A Time for Choosing” by Ronald Reagan
And I’ve come to realize two things:
- How I was completely fooled about Goldwater
- The power of the media – The Narrative – to shape what I believed
On point 2:
Understand, this is how “in the tank” the MSM is for the Left.
Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.

Talk about a lack of self-awareness…
I just heard on the radio tonight (Sunday) that the GOP had to have multiple members get their arms twisted to vote just for an impeachment inquiry, with the expectation that many would fall away were there to be an actual vote on an actual impeachment.

PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA
Even though I’ve filled out religious exemption forms for my kids, this is a fear (yes, yes, if it were possible I’d homeschool – there’s a marital dynamic here). At least my kids are old enough to say NO – DADDY SAID NO. Tell your kids – DADDY AND MOMMY SAID TO SAY NO!

There is enormous danger in monoculture crops.
Crop diversity loss threatens global food security, as the world’s human population depends on a diminishing number of varieties of a diminishing number of crop species. Crops are increasingly grown in monoculture, meaning that if, as in the historic Irish Potato Famine, a single disease overcomes a variety’s resistance, it may destroy an entire harvest, or as in the case of the ‘Gros Michel’ banana, may cause the commercial extinction of an entire variety. With the help of seed banks, international organizations are working to preserve crop diversity.
Not just Hunter. Who remembers the outright fan-boy attitude towards Barackus?
MHO, a short drop and sudden stop would suit him even better.
A GOP Presidential candidate would do wonders in my book if he committed to rolling this back, and also undoing the MPG mandates.
I loved Blazing Saddles. But there is one line in there that I did – recently – see to which I now object. It’s where they’re talking and Gene Wilder is describing the townsfolk as simple people… salt of the earth… you know, morons. A laugh line for the chattering / uber-intellectual class.

Pick of the post:
First, MHO of course, it’s waaaaay too late to prevent that now. But even if it were theoretically possible, the political will to make those hard decisions and take the necessary actions does not exist.

Palate Cleansers:
I met someone recently who talked about being at the gym at 5:30 AM. OOH, good for them. OTOH, how in the heck do they get up that early? That’s when my alarm goes off.
