Hatred Spinning Out Of Control
Two things I love to do on Saturday – a round up of stories I did not cover during the week and make fun of California. I am not sure I can make it funny this week – things are taking very ugly turns. We’ll start light but we will not be able…
What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits
The headline here is an homage to one of the beloved albums of my younger days by the Doobie Brothers – back when albums were albums, on vinyl. I wish I could herein wax eloquent about the days sitting in a room, queueing up records, spinning…
When A Bad Idea Proves It
The legalization of marijuana was/is (depending on your location) a bad idea. Intoxication, in any form, is not a good idea – even if we tolerate it to some limited extent. Given that we do try to limit and control intoxication, the last thing…
Marveling At God’s Creation – The Hugh Hewitt Show
War, protests, TDS, government shutdown, Democratic candidates wishing death on their opponents – so many stories to choose from. But every now and then a story comes along that just makes you sit back and marvel at God’s creation. I ran into…
Allies Are Not Friends – or – Extremism Is An Important Issue.
We spent decades in a Cold War with the Soviet Union, but just prior to that Cold War we called them “ally” in the fight against Hitler’s Germany. Stalin was a mass murderer of Hitlerian proportions, and antisemitic to boot. The United States…
The Great Catharsis – The Hugh Hewitt Show
Precisely what was the #NOKINGS protest all about? Yes, people were very upset, but it made little to know sense really. You can’t quite put your finger on what they were so upset about. Oh sure, they had lots of things to talk about, but it…
In The Face Of Uncertainty
The article linked here is about the swine flu of 2009 as a “dry run” for the covid lockdowns. It is not entirely unreasonable, while at the same time being a bit too conspiratorial and overwrought. Nonetheless, it contains one of the greatest…
Mischief In A Headline – The Hugh Hewitt Show
This: Trump administration is on track to cut 1 in 3 EPA staffers by the end of 2025, slashing agency’s ability to keep pollution out of air and water So much wrong in so few words. First, it ceases to be reporting when the section after the…
Beyond Irony Lies Self-Contradiction – The Hugh Hewitt Show
Not that anyone really cares, but Barack Obama did Marc Maron’s (who?) final podcast this week. I have not listened to it, probably won’t, but the reviews are in and they are somewhat extraordinary. One reviewer: What was remarkable about this…
When The Going Gets Tough, Democrats Get Absurd
I agree – “The Absurdity of #NOKINGS.” It is amazing that the absurdity of the very idea itself needs pointing out, but in the end I just wish the absurdity ended there. There is this, “The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in a 4-1 vote…
