Are We Getting What We Deserve?
It is only fitting that a fiscally irresponsible people should get a fiscally irresponsible government. And that a people without virtue should be ruled by the vicious. And that a nation that has lost its collective marbles should be presided over by a decrepit specimen who has long since lost his. The people can't think…

Dershowitz on Durham
Forbes: The basic conclusions reached by the Durham report mirror the thesis of my book Get Trump: namely that good people have been willing to do bad things in order to prevent Donald Trump from being elected (or reelected) as president. These good people honestly believe that the noble (at least in their view) end in…

An Interview with RFK, Jr.
Here He won't get the Dem nod, and I wouldn't vote for him if he did. But he is an anomaly in his party: a decent Dem. He has more in common with us than with the Biden bunch. I'd like to see him run third-party. Here is the video. 'Equity' comes up around 16:49.

One Dem who is not a Demented Puppet, a Brazen Liar, A Cackling Clown, etc.
The RFK [Jr.] Potential for Political Disruption His main target was the corrupt relationship between large corporations and captured administrative bureaucracies. He has spent his career battling such corruption in the realm of environmental regulation and wants to use his knowledge and experience to expand that battle to the whole of the administrative state. In…

Political Polarization
Polarization in a physical body has to have a limit lest the polarized body break apart. (Imagine the distance between Earth's North and South poles — 8595.35 miles — increasing indefinitely.) It is no different with the body politic. We will eventually break apart or be broken apart by an external force (how about the…

Are There Any Decent Democrats?
There is at least one. His name is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. I recommend his A Letter to Liberals: Censorship and COVID: An Attack on Science and American Ideals (Skyhorse Publishing, 2022). It is mercifully short, x + 110 pages long, and well worth your time. It is extremely well-documented. The text itself runs to…

The Toxic Racialist Obsessions of Joe Biden
Victor Davis Hanson makes many fine points, but fails to lay bare the root of Biden's racist flip-flopping, namely that the man is an utter phony and fraud who is rooted in no principle except that of self-promotion at all costs.

Is it Still Tweedledum and Tweedledee?
The good Baron proffers a depressing Yes. Gates of Vienna and MavPhil have been sphere-mates for a good long time, going on 20 years. The Baron's wife Dymphna was a regular reader of MavPhil back in the early days and an e-mail correspondent of mine. It has been some years since she quit the sublunary.…

The American Kakistocracy
A kakistocracy is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. (Wikipedia) This is what we have under the current bunch of Dems. The worst have risen to the top. 'President' Joe Biden should come to mind as leader of the pack. But can a puppet preside over anything? The question…

Tulsi Gabbard Exposes George Santos
Would that Tulsi would and could lay bare the brazen bullshit of every single swamp critter in the District of Columbia from the life-long liar Joey B. on down and not leaving out Alejandro Mayorkas, 'Director of Homeland Security' — how is that for an Orwellian title! — and Elizabeth 'Fauxcahontas' Warren, and do it…

Who Killed JFK?
Here: In a remarkable television broadcast on December 15, 2022, Tucker Carlson made an explosive charge. He pointed out that, contrary to law, the White House was refusing to release thousands of pages of documents about the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Carlson said that these documents proved CIA involvement in…

Tucker Carlson on the Tulsi Gabbard Show
Long, but good. Tony Flood comments: Their occasional descent into verbal coarseness was as disappointing as it was unexpected. It seems that even for some people I most admire, the effort to resist that cultural pull downward is no longer worth the bother. Our society-wide descent into verbal and other forms of coarseness and crudity outside of…

Democrat Election Skulduggery
The Dems are now a hard-Left party. For a leftist, the end justifies the means. If you have to cheat to win, then you cheat. And so they cheat. Case in point: Arizona election fraud. See here, here, and here. When caught, leftists lie about their cheating and about their lying. Do leftists ever tell…

Rod Dreher
Dreher's right about a lot of things despite his TDS. But who among us is wholly free of faults, foibles, and fatuities? Read on: The United States is a country where we castrate young males and cut the breasts off of young females, and call it liberation. We are a country where it is considered…
