The Patriots finally lost a game, what a relief. Seriously. This undefeated season thing was never going to happen so it’s just as well. The pressure was getting to me. Sadly–and I have not watched the game yet but will tonight–more injuries in the news as key players continue to drop like flies. Won’t be … Read more

Yeah, about that… (The Federalist.com) In the aftermath of Friday’s shooting, many in the media wanted to have a conversation about overheated political rhetoric possibly leading to violence. https://twitter.com/Will_Antonin/status/671125048648970241
“I believe, as you know, that the left is a cult, and is chiefly engaged in the mode of primitive, magical thinking.” Some things are best read in their entirety.
Not unexpectedly, however…
Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has been convicted on federal corruption charges, ending a legendary Albany power broker’s political career and giving a signal victory to Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara’s campaign to clean up the Capitol.
The above was said by me at some “shin-dig” to which I do not recall. Scott Brooks clearly never printed it anywhere, however it was caught on a recording device by Chris Anu and sent to me via email. I am grateful to have it these six years later as a reminder of what I was thinking…then.
Fergus Cullen is one of those people you meet in life that fancies himself as, “the smartest guy in the room.” He is the lap dog of the, “GOP Establishment.” A lackey for the, “Political Class,” and a backstabber to the, “average joe” Republican voter. Don’t tell “Fungus” what you think because, frankly, he doesn’t really care. Whats important to Fungus is what he thinks wins elections…despite the fact he got the GOP absolutely crushed in 2008..with a party adrift.
This weekend marked the first Sunday in Advent, one of two penitential seasons for Catholics. Lent is the other penitential season, and it is closely related in that we are awaiting the coming of Christ during both times. In the gospel readings during Mass this weekend, we heard of the “natural phenomena and calamitous reactions in the world prior to the coming of the Son of Man with power and great glory.” In other words, according to the gospels, Christ’s return will be in the midst of great upheavals in the physical environment.
What kind of upheavals in the environment, you ask? Well, in a special letter to parishioners this weekend, Bishop Libasci explains what is meant by the upheavals, while also counseling us Catholics to not be perplexed by the “changing atmospheric conditions and the changes in the sea”. The upheavals all sound strangely akin to the mantra about global climate change recited by the environmentalist crowd, yet there is a twist to this message. The Bishop further counsels us to not “die of fright” over these–and other–environmental changes. He says we shouldn’t fear them.
As we have been watching, the culmination of the Frankfurt School efforts has intersected with the elementary Ed crowd’s “show up trophy and self-esteem-o-rama” and the landing pads of helicopter parents (will SOMEBODY please stick a stick into that rearward prop??). This from Powerline’s Ammo Grrrll seemed sufficiently cogent in summarizing how to salve their ills and self-absorbtion (emphasis mine):
Since Thanksgiving was yesterday, let me enumerate just a few of the blessings that have been mine, living even as I do way off to the margins: two loving parents; good health; a wicked-smart, adoring husband; wonderful, loyal, funny friends; a beautiful son; the chance to travel all over this great land for three decades plying a successful comedic trade; and, of course, this awesome country and its heady freedom and unlimited opportunity.
Pretty much like the rest of us if we only truly looked up our lives. While reality says that not everything is rose colored glasses, it is how we specifically decide to see things that matters muchly – but it seems that many of these overly esteemed, generally socioeconomically “privileged”, overly important, and severely lacking in a sense of history, logic reasoning, and perspective young’un full of themselves (and obviously, unable to look at themselves in a mirror) have forgotten something quite important:
ISIS is…an immigration settlement service in Canada. (Worst luck since Ayds diet candy– and appetite suppressant–was driven off the shelf by A.I.D.S. in the 80’s?) Or, a convenient coincidence?

If you are one of those “separation of church and state” folks or someone who takes issue with the Feds sending tax-dollars to religious organizations you’d best not also be out there crying compassion for the resettlement of refugees. Why? Because most of the billions spent to resettle refugees in the US every year goes to 11 contractors, 7 of whom are religious.
Breitbart | Matthew Boyle New Hampshire GOP chairwoman Jennifer Horn is fighting off calls for her resignation after she violated the bylaws of her own state party by attacking GOP candidate Donald Trump.

The Klimate Kult has a Klanbake coming up in Paris and many believe it to be, like all those that preceded it, the last chance for a deal. What’s the deal? They are going there to use the weather as an excuse to advance the socialist utopia.
(IBD) At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
Investigative Journalist and author Jim Simpson shares some truths about Refugee resettlement that you will want to hear.
Happy Thanksgiving!! I’m thankful this morning to find out there are many out there who feel the same way I do. Sheriff Mike Jolley of Harris County Georgia is one of them, and he decided to post a sign saying so. “WARNING: Harris County is politically incorrect. We say: Merry Christmas, God Bless America and … Read more
I discovered this site while fooling around on the internet. (How else?) Black Friday.com. They curate holiday ads. As I write this you can search 62 Sales, 22 ad circulars, and 8 Cyber Monday sales from one place, and most of the major retailers appear to be present. (And even if they don’t have a … Read more
Jennifer Horn’s comments regarding the 2016 Presidential Candidacy of Donald Trump jeopardize the primary process, and the first in the nation primary. As chairman of the Republican Party, she should be criticizing Democrats, not fellow Republicans. Furthermore Jennifer Horn’s statements are in direct violation to the State Party’s Bylaws Article II section 1 Paragraph two, … Read more
Charles C.W. Cooke warns the right not to embrace a Holiday habit of the left…
NRO | Charles C.W. Cooke
Putting the merits to one side, there is something rather totalitarian about the injunction to hijack a ceremonial meal and read talking points prepared by partisans of the state. One does not have to be a right-winger to acknowledge this.
