It’s true that the government is quite capable of lying like hell. That doesn’t, however, mean everything they say is a lie. This is so even for the Nixon administration, despite the bad reputation they gave themselves on the way out. If Resident Bidet’s junta would rise to Richard Nixon’s standard of integrity and truthfulness, imperfect as it was, it still would be a vast improvement. (more…)

For all their bluster, strutting, truculence, and tough talk, blacks are remarkably thin-skinned. I’m not so sure how they roll in other parts of the world, such as in their African Urheimat, but this is certainly notable in the United States. I only know of one ethnic group touchier than that, but feigned helplessness is their usual approach. (more…)

How to Prepare for an Emergency
3,230 words
The subject of emergency preparedness is varied and complex. Actionable items will depend on what kind of disaster you’re preparing for and your individual circumstances. Maybe you live on a farm in Montana and want your large family to be ready in case you’re holed up during severe snowstorms. (more…)

We overcame Jim Crow by 1965, but where was the promised land of universal brotherhood that Comrade Stanley Levison’s golem St. Dr. Rev. MLK Jr. promised us? In the 1970s, the earliest I was on the scene to remember it, there was a certain prickliness about race, but things were remarkably more laid back than in later times. (more…)

In the faraway year of 1967, a unique social experiment took place in Cubberley High of Palo Alto, California. It was devised by Ron Jones, an innovative history teacher who had graduated from Stanford a few years prior. This classroom exercise spilled over into the rest of the school — to some degree, at least. It sometimes gets compared in retrospect to infamous studies in brutality such as the Milgram Experiment and the Stanford Prison Experiment. (more…)

HBO Max has begun airing a new series, Velma. This is a prequel spinoff of Scooby Doo, the much-beloved animated series from the 1970s, and told from the perspective of the eponymous character.
According to an old study, American kids grow up watching about a thousand hours of television a year. I confess that I was one of the young addicts who wasted an epic amount of time in front of the idiot box. After school meant cartoons, and so did Saturday mornings. But all told, Scooby Doo was one of the ones that was worth a look. Is it just me, or did it have some influence on The X-Files? (more…)

Once again, a deluge of digital detritus washed in on my MS Edge start page. This cybernetic flotsam always gives me such hope for the future of humanity that it warms my flinty little heart. As usual, I just can’t help sharing. Here I’ll give special recognition to blacks, the race that has done so much to make the United States the wonderful place it is today. (more…)

Countless multitudes recently undertook an annual ritual: making New Year’s resolutions. Surely one of the most popular is to begin an exercise program. For regular gym rats, we observe that the January crowding starts to taper off by February. Perennially, it’s clear evidence that there’s a problem in following through. However, you can take extra assurance by a recent Time article, which tells us that getting fit isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s the white thing to do. Thanks, mainstream media! (more…)

I confess: I did it. I saw the new installment of the space opera about blue cat people, Avatar: The Way of Water. I know; this officially makes me an incurable fanboy. The only pitiful excuse I have to offer in my defense is that we, the incurable fanboys, have been waiting for this thing since the last one came out in 2009.

The Last Supper came out in 1995, back when films tended to be a lot more watchable. It’s is about five Leftist grad students sharing a house. They enjoy bull sessions; you know the type. Early on, we have the opening premise: “It’s 1909 and you’re alone with a young artist named Adolf. Do you kill him?” (I’m not so sure that would have kept the peace, but that’s another matter. Either way, in any discussion of situational ethics, this scenario can be used as a ready-made trump card.) That, of course, leads into a debate. Soon, they’re putting their principles into action.

I admit it: I did it again. I opened the default Microsoft Edge start page. Lately I can expect to see the same thing from whoever sets up the feed. Multiple articles will feature pearl-clutching hysteria about race. (more…)

At our recent conference in the subterranean stronghold supplied by our Vril-ya comrades, there was an evocative item that came up for discussion. Specifically, it invoked the proverbial image of a drowning man grasping at straws. I’m not at liberty to quote directly, but a brief paraphrase shouldn’t be a problem. (more…)
