  • A Vote for Sleepy Joe . . .

    . . . is a vote for Cackling Kamala.  She may be a cackling clown, but she is a 'person of color.' Indeed, she is of two 'colors,' Tamil Indian and Afro-Jamaican. She is thus doubly qualified for high office, and trebly to boot considering that she is of the female persuasion. It's a three-way…

  • Too Old to Lead

    Bede, History of the Abbots, 16 (on Abbot Ceolfrith; tr. Christopher Grocock): Now he saw that, being old and full of days, he could no longer prove to be an appropriate model of spiritual exercise for those under him either by teaching or by example because he was so aged and infirm. He thought over the…

  • ‘Woke’ Home Defense

    Helpful tips. About three minutes long. But wait, there's more: a case for pre-natal squatters' rights.

  • What Leftists Mean by ‘Democracy’

    They mean woke globalist plutocracy, or something in the semantic vicinity thereof.  This is why the enemies of the people see nothing contradictory in using 'lawfare' to keep Donald Trump off the ballot. We the people, however, understand 'democracy' to mean rule by the people. On this understanding of the word, it makes no logical…

  • Political Parsimony

    Do not multiply enemies beyond necessity. William of Ockham: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem. William of Alhambra: Inimici non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem. Enemies are worse than friends are good. The enmity of the enemy is more to be feared than the friendship of the friend is to be desired. But show me a man…

  • Political Circularity

    The Democrats circle the wagons. The Republicans prefer the circular firing squad. The Libertarians favor the circle jerk. I trust my meaning is clear.

  • Milquetoast Mitt Won’t Seek Reelection

    Here. Good riddance! Who will the Democrats replace him with?

  • Hurricane Hilary is Misnamed!

    Disasters should be named after disasters. The name should be Hillary.

  • Epicurus Redivivus

    As in the case of Joe Biden and those who support him.

  • The Purpose of Kamala Harris

    Actually, she has two. The first is to make Joe Biden appear articulate by comparison.  Her main purpose, though, is to insure that Biden not be removed from office.

  • Why Shouldn’t the Vatican Go ‘Woke’?

    The RCC is already a joke with a clown at its head; why then should it not go 'woke'?  It has needed defunding for a long time now. It is up to us to make it true that 'go woke, go broke.' Story here: VATICAN CITY — An unprecedented global canvassing of Catholics has called…

  • DEI and Crash Dummies

    DIVERSITY demands that crash dummies be of all sizes, shapes, races, ethnicities, animal species including trans-species hybrids such as the Cat Man, and also 'genders' including trans-dummies, and let's not exclude living humans who 'identify' as crash dummies the better to facilitate their exit from life's freeway.  EQUITY will then be served: an equal outcome…

  • Who Could Deny that the Latin Mass is White-Supremacist?

    It is perfectly obvious, and here is the proof: 1) Blacks don't know Latin2) What blacks don't know is white-supremacist; therefore3) Latin is white-supremacist.4) The Latin mass is in Latin; therefore:5) The Latin mass is white-supremacist. Quod erat demonstrandum!  Vide hic et hic. (Am I writing in 'code'?)
