Kamala Harris Explains Cloud Data Storage
The ignorance of this woman is truly astonishing, as this 21 second video shows. Cloud storage is literally in the clouds above us which, by the way, are not physical! But she cares so much, and she is not Trump. Surely these positives outweigh her ignorance of science, engineering, weaponry, history, geopolitics, economics . .…

Novus Ordo?
Giving a Latin name to the destruction of the ancient Latin rite smacks of mockery.

Chicago under Democrat ‘Control’
Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Born in Chicago I was born in Chicago in nineteen and forty oneI was born in Chicago in nineteen and forty oneWell my father told meSon you had better get a gun. True then, truer now. And you still be ridin' with Biden? How stupid can you be? How self-destructive? How willfully…

Will a Perfect Storm Soon be upon us?
Anthony Flood thinks so. Here is how his piece begins: The dictionary defines a perfect storm as an “unusual combination of events or things that produce an unusually bad or powerful result.” The latter, as I see it, is life as we’ve become accustomed to enjoying it. Four years ago, I stated my grounds . . .…

Mass Migration and Crime
Eva Vlaardingerbroek. Under 13 minutes. HT: Dave Bagwill. Dave adds: Elon Musk later weighed in on Eva’s remarks. “The problem with “Great Replacement Theory” is that it fails to address the foundational issue of low birth rates. Record low birth rates are leading to population collapse in Europe and even faster population collapse in most of…

Quotations from Chairman Maher
Christopher Rufo has her number. The new CEO of NPR, then, is a left-wing ideologue who supports wide-scale censorship and considers the First Amendment an impediment to her campaign to sanitize the world of wrong opinions. Maher is no aberration. She is part of a rising cohort of affluent, left-wing, female managers who dominate the…

Signposts on the Way to the Insane Asylum
Looting is shopping without money. The 2022 riots were peaceful. The border is secure. Trespassing is insurrection. Dissent is hate. Free speech is hate speech. Barring candidates from the ballot is democratic. Abortion is health care. 'Migrants' are newcomers. The only purpose of guns is to kill people. Math is racist. There is no 'migrant'…

The Civil War Movie
Rather than submitting to sensory assault, your time would be better spent quietly preparing in three separate senses I will explain later. I won't be seeing the movie, for reasons given by my Alypius and the Gladiators. Addendum: Why bother watching a fictional civil war scenario when the first phases of hot civil war are…

Doing Well by Doing Good
A successful urologist I know told me that he and his colleagues want to do well by doing good. An excellent formulation, but inapplicable to Joe Biden. He wants to do well whether or not he does good. He wants such trappings and results of worldly success as power and position, money and property, even…

Sabotage Anyone?
Should a state university add "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" to its curriculum? This is an undoubtedly interesting time to be alive. How could anyone be bored? Should I rename my Academia category, Academentia? Demented POTUS, demented polity. Madness spreads and the fish stinks from the head. Update (3:39 pm): More academentia at UCLA…

Richard Dawkins on Christianity and Islam
Here (HT: Catacomb Joe): Famed atheist and self-styled intellectual Richard Dawkins shared in a recent interview that he was “horrified” to find that Oxford Street in London had lit up its public signs and displays to celebrate the Muslim fasting period called Ramadan, just days before Easter Sunday. “I have to choose my words carefully: If I…

Homage to Catatonia
That's right, Catatonia. Are things really this bad, or does the author exaggerate?

Dreher on Carlson
The former comments on the latter's recent speech. Dreher: It is so very, very, very difficult to wake up people to what is happening, what has been happening, and what is probably going to happen. I have experienced in my personal life how the Everything’s Fine™ mentality can destroy everything, and I see it everywhere in our…

Two Termites: Bergoglio and Biden
I sometimes refer to the current pope as Bergoglio the Termite to underscore the destructive effect he is having on a once-great institution. Early this morning it occurred to me that I might write a post comparing the various termites undermining our institutions. Of course 'President' Joe Biden immediately came to mind. Just now, an…
