Since time is short for me this weekend, I will not attempt to tie this post back into my various rants at the legacy site about how proper history will not be kind to the modern anti-intellectualism of the left and their stoolies within our perimeter. (Maybe I will take some time later to link …

“Suicide by Cop” – The Woke Corporate Deathbed Smokescreen Edition
My morning stroll through trusted sites passes directly through Instapundit. Today's perusal linked to a post titled ROLL LEFT AND DIE that provided an interesting and overall very informative perspective. But there was one passage about a rather specific example buried in the middle the sticks with me: But I’ve started seeing it too. Companies’ …

President Ferret Face – International Laughingstock and Tool Used to Ruin the World
It is dangerous to have a president who is not in command of normal mental faculties. We can only hope to survive to the end of Biden’s term in office, however that comes about. - Powerline, October 7, 2022 We all know that American politics is now the national pastime and the fictional script will …

The Obama-Biden Wing of The Court – Modern Anti-Intellectualism on Parade
Even before the latest addition, it was clear to many honest observers that proper history will record a very unimpressive picture of the Obama-Biden wing of The Court. Given the transparently shallow selection criteria that went into their nominations, that should surprise no one. If there was any doubt about Biden’s first selection fitting in, …

The Worst Economy in Eighty Years – Lords of Finance Vol 2?
Author Liaquat Ahamed started the last paragraph of Lords of Finance - The Bankers Who Broke the World (2009) with: More than anything else, therefore, the Great Depression was caused by a failure of intellectual will, a lack of understanding about how the economy operated. … There will be no such excuse this time around. …

Irreversibly Broken – The ‘How Corrupt is the FBI?’ Addendum
Normally I just post stuff like this as updates in the comments of the recent relevant post on the subject but, given this new format, I am going to try to make a habit of putting what I consider substantive updates in follow-up posts like this. This update (H/T Instapundit) links to a couple of …

Irreversibly Broken – Is Today’s FBI no Longer Compatible with American Liberty?
It could be argued that the agency has gone rogue. Unfortunately, that the greater system…from the judiciary to the watchdog press…enables the behavior and abuses hints rather strongly that something much more substantial is wrong with the Republic established to ensure justice and liberty for all. I do give the The Los Angeles Times credit …

Lessons in Anti-Narrative Detection: The Obvious Curiosity vs. The Reliably Incurious (or Dutifully Compliant) Watchdog
I do smile to myself when pet topics of mine are occasionally refreshed in the broader interwebs where more than three or four people may read about it. Still, in so many cases, far too few bother to recognize the importance of the phenomenon playing out right under their noses. One of these occasions happened …
Partisans of the Present Regime – Documenting the “Heavily Credentialed Yet Still Worthless” American Elites
Way back at the beginning of May, when I was still posting at the other place, I wrote of the hollow-credentialed buffoons, or the HCYSW (Heavily Credentialed Yet Still Worthless) crowd...again, with apologies for the blatant mimicking of Mr. Taleb’s Intellectual Yet Idiot construct...that now dominate the ruling American beltway (and so much more of the American …
Another Encounter with an Anti-Narrative and Some Rather Ignorant Arrogance
In my last post I touched on the Silent Narrative or those headlines "that are never allowed to become breaking news and/or even get the proper coverage to establish the meanings and motives…and potential implications today and down the road a bit. In many cases, these tend to be the stories that would provide the …
