~~~ Iran offers to reopen Strait of Hormuz — but won’t commit to ending nuclear ambitions Iran has one thing the world wants, and that is a commitment to ending nuclear development. If they sign on that, they legitimize periodic Israeli and American destruction of nuclear research areas and killing of the scientists involved. A […]
In the 1980s, those of us living in the most diverse part of North America observed a commonsense truth: we did fine with our own communities, but when communities mixed, culture got abolished and each group asserted its interests against all others. Trust vanished. As a result, in this diversity-Utopia we chose to be happily […]
~~~ Triggering memories of lost freedom sparks anger and belief in bogus conspiracies People are easily manipulated by telling that that something stole their autonomy (a category which includes both freedom and money). Hundreds defy major warnings to attend huge St George’s Day parade Anti-“racists” — people we now know are grifters like all other […]
~~~ Justice Department targets hundreds in denaturalization push ICE just added up the data and realized that most of the people who are here “legally” from abroad applied the same standards to that process as they did to California hospice applications, namely filling in stuff that “looked good” betting that the four hundred pound disabled […]
~~~ Mike Johnson faces “hell week” as Republicans defy Trump Every monkey must be unique. He must make a name for himself. He must have bold statements and strong gestures. There cannot be a simple, clear orientation toward a goal. There must always be personal drama. That way, everything is a compromise, no one gets […]
Lots of hype surrounded the movie Drive (2011) but its ancestor is this ancient movie which draws a great deal from Raymond Chandler in its portrayal of the criminal underworld and, as must be the case, a character in it who wishes to escape it to a better life. Unlike Drive, in this the reward […]
~~~ 8 hate group leaders — including KKK Imperial Wizard and neo-Nazi — got millions from SPLC as part of ‘informant’ scheme, DOJ says The scandal just deepens as people realize that the anti-“hate” groups were subsidizing “hate” in order to take in mor donations. The same is true of the war on drugs, war […]
Human life builds itself around the certainty of knowing in the midst of having no idea what is going on. We do not know how we got here, what consciousness is, or how much actual choice we have in what we do. Potentially we are simply brains which rationalize impulses that seem necessary for survival […]
In a stunning burst of hilarity upon the already ludicrous, the US DOJ has sued the SPLC, alleging that for decades it has been paying Right-wing extremists to continue being Right-wing extremists while passing along information to the SPLC. Now we know the secret to their “hacks” and “intelligence” reports: they paid for the information, […]
~~~ Reading the Clean Power Plan “Shadow Papers” in Context People complain about Jewish writers like the lawyer who authored this piece, but like Ben Shapiro, Jewish attorneys learn Constitutional law while almost everyone else focuses on civil law of the immediate transfer of money between two parties variety. The big point here: Barack Hussein […]
As America finds itself divided again over the question of illegal immigration, which invokes not just the problem of people willing to break our laws to get in but the notion that those who abandon their countries for easier lives elsewhere are not the best people, it makes sense to revisit the long history of […]
~~~ Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez resigns, agrees to lifetime ban from judiciary Another DEI darling turns out to be a diva on a rampage who had an attorney cuffed in court and ordered her employees to have no contact with former employees. She previously had political protection not just for ethnic diversity status but for […]
The last millennium was shaped by a steady movement from tradition, including reverence for nature, to a human-centered world of individuals acting out their desires. Religion aided in this by replacing national cultures with a universal internationalist morality. This world ended with the twenty-first century when it became clear that diversity did 9/11 and we […]
~~~ Ceasefire at risk after US seizes Iranian ship, Iran shuns peace talks In the third world, honoring ceasefires is seen as a weakness; instead you delay, be passive-aggressive, cause problems, and wear down the other guy until he gives you what he wants. With any luck, Trump will do what the world needs and […]
Why do people in America smoke so much marijuana? One answer is that life is boring or ugly, but another is that trauma from early life sets people back by a few decades and they stay stoned in order to deal with the confusion. Science tells us now how marijuana intensifies abuse experiences: The results […]
~~~ Houston Democrats Menefee and Green are not giving up on reparations for slavery Only reparations-with-repatriation makes sense: you get some money, and get restored to your ancestral continent instead of lingering here with White people you detest. In the meantime, high colonic of realism: your people sold you instead of killing you, slavery has […]
~~~ Bibi torched U.S. support for Israel for a generation It was the other way around: young Americans, who are now more diverse than ever before, identify with browner Palestinians more than whiter Jews. As you recall, Jews are the descendants of southern Syrians who took White wives. Tehran shuts Hormuz again as Iranian gunboats […]
~~~ Afghan Male Arrested Over Suspected Rapes of Goats and Sheep The type of person willing to leave their native land and go to a foreign place just for the benefits and remittances is probably not a good person, which explains a rise in the already-disturbing third world levels of crime, perversity, incompetence, laziness, disorder, […]
Most of what gets talked about on this site is not controversial: a mix of environmentalism, Darwinism, and Platonic monism. None of this stuff is that far out, but we lose the audience by talking about overpopulation and monarchism sometimes. However, the area where we differ — and not in the way internet pundits do, […]
~~~ Anti-Hate Poster Has No Home in Ohio Classroom, Says School District The problem with free speech is that it only really applies to individuals and groups out in the world; once you are in a school setting, to allow one message is to empower one side with propaganda while penalizing the other. In the […]
As the years have tumbled on and the democracy wars (WW1/2) have fallen far back in the rearview mirror, the hold they had over our imagination has decreased. For a long time, the American mythos was based on a presumed continuity between the Revolution, Civil War, and WW2 where we fought off “tyrants” and established […]
~~~ Bogus websites, staged protests and pretend atheists: Inside the fake asylum industry Big money awaits those who make it to the West. They get subsidies and if they find work, can send money home where it buys ten times as much. Naturally an industry has arisen around this practice and it specializes in fooling […]
Much of my time goes to wandering around outside, preferably in the woods, since this environment provides calm with reverent awe and therefore, both excites and stills the brain. This should be the state of life: an animal, moving silently through its environment. Walking of course gives rise to all sorts of metaphors. Many people […]
~~~ Caught in the Crackdown: As Arrests at Anti-ICE Protests Piled Up, Prosecutions Crumbled Federal prosecutors are bungling or sabotaging obvious cases, such as convicting the guy who handed out water and face shields to rioters. If you did the same for a murderer, you would go to jail as an accessory. Xi Jinping Embraces […]
On the bell curve, we can map how many people think they are exceptions to how things normally operate. As the IQ level drops, just about everyone thinks they are exceptions because they know little of the world but their own desires, impulses, and so on. This means that we have a worst-case scenario: lots […]
