“If I am a Transphobe, then you are a Misogynist!”
Thus I paraphrase Riley Gaines' brilliant response to the Congressional idiot who accused the swimmer of being 'transphobic.' The denial of the most obvious distinctions by the 'woke' Left is part of the evidence for my claim made directly below that we are a nation losing its collective mind. Addendum What do I mean by…

Allyship?
Explained here. Is this a parody? Word found here: “I started to see these intelligent, educated people, whose mission is to make our system better for people of color, suddenly posting all this anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian stuff,” Rose said. “I’m not changing my values, but screw the allyship. I will not stop fighting, because I believe…

Inconsistent even in their Misuse of Language
Leftists cannot even be consistent in their misuse of language. If the January 6th trespassers are insurrectionists, then so are the Hamas supporters who flooded the Cannon rotunda in the Capitol complex. True, many were arrested. But will they be treated the same as the Jan-sixers? I wouldn't bet on it.

Rod Dreher Talks Sense
Here: In America, when you hear media figures and politicians gassing on about “threats to democracy,” you should be aware that what they really might mean is “threats to a system that favors current elites and their prejudices, against the common good.” And this despite Dreher's to-me-incomprehensible case of TDS. Delete the might and Dreher's point is…

Diplomad 2.0 on the Biden ‘Special’ Counsel
We all know it's a joke, a joke worthy of that all-time jokester and comedian, Lavrenti Beria. Beria would have appreciated AG Garland's "sudden" naming of a Special Counsel to look into Hunter Biden, this after years of saying no SC was needed. He also would have appreciated that the Special Counsel (SC) named is…

A Short History of Slavery
Candace Owens, about five and a half minutes. A crisp refutation of widespread leftist lies and omissions. Do your bit and propagate this video. "Truth is not a leftist value." (Dennis Prager) Some of you think that I came up with the line. Not so. I got it from Prager. Always give credit where credit…

Democracy with State-Sponsored Election Interference?
I should think they are incompatible. Might a bit of Orwellian re-definition help? Maybe it is like this. Just as the border is secure as DHS-head Alejandro Mayorkas defines 'secure,' state-sponsored election interference is compatible with democracy as the regime and its media shills define 'democracy.' Our political enemies from the Big Guy on down…

‘Post-Truth’
A buzz word much bandied about in 2016, usually in connection with Donald J. Trump. Top o' the Stack. You will learn something from this piece if you have an attention span. Too much twit-shit and your span may shrink to a point. You may transmogrify into a tweeting twit whose brain is fit only…

Toleration Misunderstood
"Toleration" is not a dirty word, contrary to what a growing number who misuse the term, seem to think. Now leftists are the kings of language-abuse, but conservatives are not immune to it either. The current trend toward the misuse of 'toleration' needs to be vigorously opposed as I do in this latest Substack article.

Conservative or Counter-Revolutionary?
Christopher Rufo made an excellent contribution to Mark Levin's "Life, Liberty, and Levin" last night. I will put one of his points in my own way with my own additions and 'flourishes.' One can conserve only what one has, not what one has lost. We conservatives have lost control of our institutions including the universities,…

Should We Discuss Our Differences?
Pessimism versus optimism about disagreement. Substack latest.

‘2A’ a Terrorist Marker?
It emerged in the Congressional FBI whistleblower hearings that the abbreviation '2A' is a "terrorist marker." That came as news to me. (But see here.) I have been using '2A' from time to time as an innocuous abbreviation of 'Second Amendment.' The context, of course, is the Bill of Rights which are the first ten…

Climate ‘Theology’
Tucker Carlson has a bad habit of referring to climate alarmism as climate 'theology.' I know what he is trying to say, but it is unseemly for a conservative to misuse a perfectly good word and denigrate that to which it refers. Natural theology, which is a branch of philosophy, is a legitimate inquiry, as…

DIE: ‘Equity’ Can Get You Killed
Here: America’s top medical schools, worried [that] they have too few minority students, are doing something about it. They are lowering academic standards for admission and trying to hide the evidence. Columbia, Harvard, the University of Chicago, Stanford, Mount Sinai, and the University of Pennsylvania have already done so. The list already tops forty, and more…

Left, Right, Sex, and Gender
Top o' the Stack. Conservatives especially need to push back against linguistic wokery. And yet how many so-called conservatives continue to conflate sex and gender, race and skin color! He who controls the terms of the debate controls the debate. The subversion of language is the mother of all subversion. Conservatives are long on talk,…
