Culpably Ignorant Dems
Is a soupçon of Schadenfreude justifiable? He who lives by DEI can expect to die by it. Michael Shellenberger at X: I’m not suggesting that Democrats consciously sought to destroy Los Angeles. The entertainment industry professionals in Malibu, Topanga Canyon, and Pacific Palisades, who voted overwhelmingly for California’s progressive Governor, Gavin Newsom, and LA’s radical…

Kamala and Moria/Witzelsucht
Joe Biden, suffering from dementia, was finally and 'democratically' kicked to the curb only to be replaced with Kamala Harris who may be suffering from her own neuropsychiatric malady, moria. How else explain her giddiness, uncontrolled childish euphoria, inappropriate laughter, inability to be serious about matters of grave importance, hyper-joyous inanity, and the like? This…

Trotsky’s (Misplaced) Faith in Man
On 20 August 1940, 84 years ago today, the long arm of Joseph Stalin finally reached Leon Trotsky in exile in Mexico City where an agent of Stalin drove an ice axe into Trotsky's skull. He died the next day. Yet another proof of how the Left eats its own. The last days of Lev…

Sohrab Ahmari on ‘Lawfare’
An exercise in naïveté: Reacting to Donald Trump’s hush-money conviction in Manhattan on 30 May, the French writer Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry asked on X: “Has there been a single left-of-centre person… who has said: ‘Hey, nakedly partisan prosecutions of your political opponents goes against the values of liberal democracy, rule of law, justice, and everything my…

Kathy Hochul, Leftist Idiot
Head over to Malcolm Pollack's place for some sensible commentary. Meat quote: Political thinkers from Hobbes to Schmitt have understood that the fundamental principle that legitimizes the power of the State is the reciprocal obligation of obedience and protection. We cede to the State the awesome power of coercion by threat of violence, and in…

Civilization Versus the New Nihilists
Victor Davis Hanson Put the question to your friends and acquaintances: Which side are you on? If they are not on the side of civilization, cut them off. Make them pay a price for their willful self-enstupidation. Why should they get the benefit of your friendship? If enough of us ostracize enough of them, this…

Radical Islam’s Threat to the Left
Substack latest. Why don't leftists — who obviously do not share the characteristic values and beliefs of Islamists — grant what is spectacularly obvious to everyone else, namely, that radical Islam poses a grave threat to what we in the West cherish as civilization, which includes commitments to free speech, open inquiry, separation of church…

And You Call for a Cease-Fire?
Take a look at the massacre map. Then read this: The world is yet again staring at the near inevitability of another global conflagration. The flashpoint is in the Middle East and the Hitler of our time: the Mullahs of Iran. The West, led by Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have chosen to follow in…

Is There No Limit to Biden’s Vicious Mendacity?
Apparently not. And you voted for him? What were you thinking? Were you thinking?

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…

‘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…

Anarcho-Tyranny in the USA
Here by Auron MacIntyre at The Total State (Substack): The city of Philadelphia has announced an agreement to pay a $9.25 million settlement in connection with the police response to protests after the death of George Floyd in 2020. While dozens were killed and billions of dollars of damage were done during the riots that…

How Low Can We Sink?
Seen at SOTU 2023 as worn by Senator Ed Markey, Massachusetts Democrat: For a long time now, the Democrats have been the abortion party. But under the 'leadership' of the 'devout Catholic,' Joe Biden, they've 'evolved' to use the Hillary word which means devolved: they now celebrate abortion by expressing 'love' for it. And…

A Secret Plan to Destroy America
Malcolm Pollack recommends the following. I've reproduced it verbatim. It is that good. …………………………. Democrat and former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm gave the following speech in Washington, DC in 2003. Originally published on CAIRCO in 2014. I have a secret plan to destroy America. If you believe, as many do, that America is too smug,…
