Liberals go Darwin
The good news is they refuse to procreate
My second-eldest sister often says about children, have them when you are young and dumb. I am not saying how old she is, but even though she was married her doctor would not prescribe her The Pill because she was not 21.
We call the result of that decision Jackie and she turns 58 this month. Jackie’s sister, barely a year older, was 53 when my mom died at 93. Lisa asked for the day off to attend the funeral. Her boss said he didn’t know she still had a grandmother.
Indeed Lisa did and she was one of 15 grandchildren who ranged in age from, let’s see, 31 to 54 when my mom died …READ MORE…
Hiring Private Military Contractors: The Lesser Evil or a Devil's Bargain?
The history of these mercenary outfits is a litany of failures, scandals, and outright disasters, making the potential move to hire them a gamble with stakes too high to ignore.
As our military brass face the unenviable task of staffing the Department of Defense without the political nightmare of a draft, they seem poised to fall back on the next worst idea: hiring private military contractors. If Blackwater and the Russian Wagner Group are any indication, this is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. The history of these mercenary outfits is a litany of failures, scandals, and outright disasters, making the potential move to hire them a gamble with stakes too high to ignore …READ MORE…
Inflation: The Hidden Error in Calculating GDP
Of course we’re in recession. Jobs have dried up, wages aren’t keeping up with the cost of living, houses and cars have become unaffordable, and even fast food is now viewed as a luxury by most Americans.
The federal government routinely announces perceived quarterly GDP growth shortly after the end of a quarter, and then quietly announces corrections every few weeks as the next quarter progresses and they determine how far off they were…READ MORE…
John Parillo on: Federalist 20 and 21
Emergencies are often used by authoritarian governments to bend, if not outright flout the rules. Federalist 20 & 21 address this issue.
Madison does an excellent job of pointing out why it is both important that articles such as the one you are reading get written, and that you read and understand them. He says, “I make no apology for having dwelt so long on the contemplation of these federal precedents. Experience is the oracle of truth; and where its responses are unequivocal, they ought to be conclusive and sacred.”…READ MORE…
The Trump-Fauci Conundrum: A Partnership in Pandemic Politics
Why would a president, who claimed to have unlimited power, retain a figure who was often portrayed as his adversary?
The COVID-19 pandemic was a period of unprecedented upheaval and confusion, marked by shifting narratives and political maneuvers. At the center of this chaos were two prominent figures: President Donald Trump and Dr. Anthony Fauci. While their public personas seemed to be at odds, a closer examination suggests a more intricate partnership. Together, they played a strategic game of good cop, bad cop, each benefiting in distinct ways while Americans bore the brunt of their decisions…READ MORE…
How Do We Stop This Lawfare?
Lawfare: “The use of legal systems and institutions to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter an individual's usage of their legal rights.”
Since they infiltrated our legal institutions, lawfare has become the preferred tactic of the radicals infesting the Democrat party, and they just checked off the top item on their bucket list. They tried Donald Trump using a screwy legal theory – that an action in 2017 enabled a crime in 2016 – and managed to get a conviction by denying his legal rights…READ MORE…
The Way Forward On Russia and Ukraine
Trump should tell our NATO partners that either Russia, Ukraine, and anyone else that wants to join can join, or we pull out and stop funding it.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered Kyiv a truce if Ukraine terminated its NATO ambitions and exits the ethnic-Russian Donbas (Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions). Kyiv has rejected his offer, despite this outcome being for the past two years the logical, if not foregone, conclusion to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
I understand Russia’s historical claim to Ukraine. It is undeniable that Kyiv was the first capital of Russia a thousand years ago and that Ukraine was part first of the Russian Empire and then of the Soviet Union until 1994.
However, it is equally undeniable that Ukrainians aren’t Russians. They have their own separate language, culture, and identity. And, under international law, they have had their own sovereign nation for thirty years now…READ MORE…
Ancient Idols: The Mystifying Case of the Man-Boob Deity in Denmark
Satire
In the year 7024, a group of archaeologists unearthed a perplexing relic from the early 21st century, leaving the scientific community in stitches and scratching their heads. This discovery, a statue unearthed in what was once known as Denmark, depicted a figure with a distinctly masculine face, a muscular build, and rather prominent breasts cradling a baby. Given their limited understanding of ancient Western civilization, the scientists quickly concocted a series of hilarious theories to explain this bizarre artifact.
The leading hypothesis, presented by Professor Anthony Fausti, posits that humans in the 2000s worshiped a deity known as "Maman"—a half-man, half-woman figure capable of both heroic feats and breastfeeding infants. Fausti, with a straight face, suggested that this deity symbolized ultimate parental prowess, combining the nurturing qualities of a mother with the protective strength of a father. "It's clear," he stated, "that ancient humans were obsessed with efficiency. Why have two parents when you can just have one super-parent?"…READ MORE…
