January 6 Anti-History – ‘There’s just too much to work with to not know who this guy is.’
Of course, the real question surrounding the case of the magic, uncatchable 'pipe bomber' is: Why were fake bombs planted in the first place? (See relevant posting history here. Or as later cross-posted over a Ricochet here.) But the fact that the authorities, who under any conceivable good faith exercise of the massive powers granted …
SCOTUS Gets One Right…Yada, Yada, Yada…Justice or Something
Somewhere in Twelve Sleep County Joe Pickett is relieved this one didn't get real western like it could have. I am pleasantly surprised that it was a 9-0 decision but the celebration beyond that point shall be rather muted here at this keyboard. The current headlines: Major SCOTUS Decision Neuters EPA, Leaves Democrats Spinning in …

The Powerline Challenge – Hinderaker by TKO
Back in August 2021 a now lost to the ether comment section over at Ricochet was soiled with some of the typical talking point twaddle from an MSNBC-programmed member-bot: “I have not found Powerline to be a reliable source of information…” In response, I issued The Powerline Challenge: Provide just one example of a Powerline …

Since the release of the Durham Report earlier this week I have kept much that I want, or need, to say on the matter bottled up. (No, I have not read it. I have no need to read it. I was paying attention at the time and was not hampered by the blinders of progressive …

The Narrative Machine Slowly Solidifies the Foundation for the Exit from the Path of Liberty
There has been so much "breaking news" on "mass shootings" in recent days that even the junior varsity rationalizers inside our perimeter are working overtime. No doubt the demagogic varsity team from the hard left are warming up their vocal cords for the coming full-court press. Watch for the usual tells like this: It seems …

The Modern Age of Intellectual Un-Seriousness Writ Large – The American Mega-Corporation Edition
While watching this video, keep in mind that Anheuser-Busch is a $125B corporation with 150+ years of prestige behind the brand and this buzz-word babbling buffoon (likely heavily credentialed in the hollowest of ways) is a VICE PRESIDENT with the unchecked power to put $BILLIONS$ at risk overnight: https://twitter.com/i/status/1645089521980280832 (For the record, I did not …
