Biden Regime Politicizes Military
As a U.S. Army veteran, I’m disgusted by how the Biden regime is politicizing the U.S. military. It’s breaching the sharp delineation between civilian and military essential in a free country.
The Pentagon, backed by the lying media, is carpet-bombing Tucker Carlson, one of the few actual journalists left. He pointed out sending pregnant women into combat maybe isn’t such a great tactic
Your COVID Papers, Please!
People are justifiably worried that the government is going to impose a COVID passport as a requirement for travel and for maskless participation in public events. Of course it is going to happen for some good reasons and for far more bad. The only question is how to deal with the government.
Wednesday’s Child: My Country Right or Wrong
Say what you will about them, but my compatriots have brains. A new survey is just out, and though the gentle reader likely shares my own derisory view of social science, I want to use the occasion to vent some national pride. The survey, by the Moscow think tank Levada Center, sampled 1600 adults spread over 134 locations throughout Russia who were interviewed in person in their homes.
Institutionalizing Racism, by Robert Geraci
The result of the entire institutional racism charge is that what will become institutionalized and accepted is a level of less achievement by blacks in all aspects of life including but not limited to academics, crime and social behaviors; and ultimately this lowering of standards will permeate all of society, not just those who are black.

Ted Geisel/Dr. Seuss ia finding what he would have wrongly supposed to be unlikely “conservative” allies, who either defend him on the grounds that the enemy of my enemies is my friend–what we might call the Stalin Complex–
How to Pay for Bill Gates’ Green Utopia
Promoting his new book, “How to Prevent a Climate Disaster,” in his blog Bill Gates answers a common question about wiping out good-paying jobs for the middle class. His title: “Don’t forget about coal miners and cement makers on the way to zero emissions.”
Humpty Dumpty: “At the End of the Day”
“At the end of the day,” declared the minister–or bleated the commentator or droned the expert…. But why continue? Phrases like at the end of the day are useful signposts, saying: IGNORE THE FOLLOWING COMMUNICATION.
Today’s Question, Number 1: Is Joe Biden a Racist?
A few days ago the President of the United States derided several governors as “neanderthals” because they decided to relax the restrictions on social life that had been imposed in a panic-response to COVID. What has he got against that extinct race of human beings? Neanderthal men, so far as I have been able to gather over the years, were a crude lot but capable of speech and, from the guesses I have read, endowed with an IQ range in the 70’s and 80’s. Since they interbred with members of Homo sapiens, it may be unfair to refer to them...
Ray Olson’s History of Film: Silent Cecil
Clad for work in campaign hat and jodhpurs, flicking a riding crop, Cecil B. DeMille (1881–1959) was D. W. Griffith’s peer in the early American commercial cinema. He’s said to have made the first feature-length film in Hollywood, The Squaw Man (1914), a year before Griffith’s Birth of a Nation,
