Why Republicans Fail
Look at the failure in this week’s budget monstrosity. Republicans in Congress voted for this direct threat to the Republic.
An alternative title is “Why Republicans Suck.” Didn’t think that went well as a banner. Too Trump-like in tone. Yet, look at the failure in this week’s budget monstrosity. Republicans in Congress voted for this direct threat to the Republic. So, Republicans own this failure. Republicans suck at governing because “Republican” is a box store and not a brand.
The Democrats are a brand. They have a narrative. They have goals and the vision to achieve them. They know how to work as one, even though their goals would destroy the US and harm the world. Their determination is our damnation. The few exceptions in Congress and state legislatures prove the rule.
The Democrats can re-label their brand in a heartbeat and still stay the same brand. They can go Bud Light when their politburo demands. The Democrats are Human Secularist Totalitarians. “Commies” for short.
The Republicans have no brand. The only thing they have in common is “not Democrat.” …READ MORE…
Sometimes You Just Have To Be an [Insert Slang Term For the Rectum Here] To Do Things Right.
Drugs destroyed Kensington, and only fighting drugs, fighting them with everything the city can muster, can reverse and revitalize the neighborhood.
"Nice guy" policies have led to disaster in our big cities.
My site has previously noted the open-air drug market in the Kensington section of Philadelphia; with published photos of junkies shooting up right on the street in front of SEPTA's Allegheny Avenue train station, it's pretty difficult not to notice.

And Philly's George Soros-sponsored, police-hating, and softer-than-Charmin-on-crime District Attorney Larry Krasner has actually filed suit to stop efforts to fight crime in Kensington and on SEPTA.
But, rather than far-left Helen Gym Flaherty, whom hard-leftists…READ MORE…
In praise of ties; They helped build a society that we are destroying
The first thing I notice when I watch a black-and-white TV show on one of the rerun networks is the ties. In the 1950s, every man wore a tie.
The first thing I notice when I watch a black-and-white TV show on one of the rerun networks is the ties. In the 1950s, every man wore a tie. The milkman wore a tie. The mailman wore a tie. The policeman wore a tie. Even Elvis wore a tie on occasion. Chuck Berry always wore a tie. Gas station attendants wore them. You could trust your car to the man who wore the star because he had a tie on. Men wore ties to ballgames because men were civilized.
Ties were important because they gave a sense of authority but ties also showed that a man wants to belong in society. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.”
But gradually the ties came off. Comfort meant more than community. Men’s stores gave way to Sears and then Kmart and then Wal-Mart, which is now Walmart. The loss of ties — the loss of formality in interactions with strangers on the street — came with a price.…READ MORE…
