Aeschylus was known for the magnificence of his style and the power of his productions. His language is always challenging in Greek and difficult to render into English. Because of his power and occasional obscurity, he might be compared with Shakespeare, and in magnificence, I sometimes think of Richard Wagner as one of his better imitators, albeit a much shallower writer.
“Thy Will Be Done On Earth as It Is in Heaven.” What is “the will” and how is it to “be done”?
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
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.
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.
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. Every single less than perfect or at least passing grade on a test or grading in general in school, every disciplinary act by a school or a teacher towards a student, every single look by a teacher at a student that can be interpreted...
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–
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.”
“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.
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.
