Hats Off to Huntington Beach, California
It was the summer of '65. I was lying in the sand at Huntington Beach, California listening to the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, sing about hot rods, surfing, boy-girl relations and such when a song came on that "blew my mind" in the parlance of the day. But what I want to…

The Integrationist Fantasy
Top o' the Stack. E pluribus unum? Out of many, one? It can work, and it did work for a time, though not perfectly. But thanks to ‘progressives,’ regression has set in. Whether a One can be made of Many depends on the nature of the Many. A viable One cannot be made out of just…

Here is the Democrat plan clearly explained in a few words.

Defensive Gun Use Without a Shot Fired
Texas man defends family from machete-wielding home invader with his 9mm semi-auto. A quartet of questions. How would you repel a home invasion? Would you vote for a political party they leaders of which intend to violate your right to self-defense? Would you lay money on the proposition that the miscreant depicted in the article…

Michael Anton on “Celebration Parallax”
Here: More tellingly, this charge is an example of something I call the “celebration parallax,” which is explained here. In brief, the celebration parallax holds that the same fact pattern is either true and glorious or false and scurrilous depending on who states it and, crucially, the perceived intent of the speaker. So if someone says…

The Intifada Comes to America
Well, what did you expect? Intifada refers specifically to two separate uprisings of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank over the past four decades, but more broadly, it pertains to the continued resistance of the Palestinians to the existence of Israel. When they shout “Death to Israel,” they mean it. It should be a…

Heliophysics and Common Ground
The solar eclipse brought us all together for one day. Well, we do share common ground when, like Thales, our heads are craned upwards in wonder. That common ground is the home planet, spaceship Earth, upon which we stand, bitterly disagree, and slaughter one another when not distracted by an unusual celestial phenomenon. Clearly, common…

Multi-Racial but not Multi-Cultural: Self-Critique of a May 2017 Entry
In May of 2017, I wrote: The USA cannot help but be a multi-racial society, but if we cannot agree on a common culture for public purposes with English as its official language and the values of the founding documents as its foundation, then the end is in sight. But collapse takes time and those…

Creative Play with the Race Card

No Person is Illegal!
That's true. No person is illegal. But who ever said that any person was? 'Woke' knuckleheads of the sort who recently criticized Joey B's SOTU reference to Lincoln Laken Riley's murderer as 'an illegal' regularly give something like the following lame argument: 1) No person is illegal. 2) If any person is justifiably labelled an…

A ‘Deplorable’ Straight from Central Casting . . .
. . . 'calls out' the lying leftist scumbag mayor of Athens, Georgia. James Lee takes on Kelly Gertz. Was this staged? No, but it certainly looks that way. One of Hillary's 'deplorables' with a redneck hat, poor English, and missing a tooth rightly attacks a mendacious SOB whose first name is 'Kelly.'

What’s Wrong with Illegal Immigration?
I present a number of arguments, some 'liberal,' atop the Stack. I am well aware of the infirmity of reason, and of the stupidity and suggestibility of people, especially in this Age of Feeling and Xed-out attention spans. And so I am well aware of just how little is accomplished by calm and careful argumentation…

Open Borders?
I'm not totally opposed . . . Top o' the Stack. I strive for one Substack upload per day, no more. Why only one? Out of consideration for my readers. In these hyper-kinetic and hyper-connected times, an excess of 'incoming' can be annoying.

Suicide by Illegal Immigration
Such suicide is what the leaders of the present-day Democrat Party promote. They are out to destroy the United States of America. It is perfectly plain that diversity is not our strength despite their asinine and oft-repeated asseverations to the contrary. Diversity sans unity = decline, downfall, disaster. 'Asinine' is exactly the right word, deriving…
