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 …

Refusing to Ignore the Anti-Narrative: The Chill Continues to Descend Upon Us
On many levels a broader swath of We the People are starting to catch on to how the anti-American forces that now form our ruling beltway can count on the fully compliant and reliably incurious media to overtly spin to the dictated narratives at all costs. That tool is vital to cultivating reportable polling support …

American Demagogue, American Tyrant
Last night while I was not watching the speech, I typed of the Cancer of the Soul that is always visible through Joe Biden's face: "May history record that as the face of the emerging American Totalitarianism here in the twenty-first century. It would be well deserved." Little did I know that the handlers of …
Cancer of the Soul – Fifty Years the Demagogue
(Photo borrowed from Michael Yon somewhere along the line.) Trusted reading sources of the day tell me that, at this very moment, I am likely missing a lecture to the American people from the Dufus in Chief on the state of the American soul: JOE BIDEN, SOUL DOCTOR Tonight Joe Biden will deliver a speech …

The American Calamity
“There is one rule that works in every calamity… The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” – A Will Rogers Treasury, Page 157 I suspect that bit of wisdom holds equally well when the currency is “liberty” as when it is good, old American dollars as Mr. Rogers intended. Under this updated model, …
A Study of Muddleheadedness – Preview
As I was struggling to stand-up this little outpost I knew that early on I was going to have to dig into the concept of muddleheaded thinking. Since I am using (and abusing) the meaning of the word for my own purposes, I will specify the phenomenon I am focused on as Conservative Muddleheadedness - …
The Attkisson Affair – Totalitarianism Ignored is Totalitarianism Secured
Instapundit informs us this morning (yet again) that A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS SEE THE FBI AS BIDEN’S PERSONAL GESTAPO, AND NOT WITHOUT REASON with a topic not unfamiliar to this blogger. In fact, it was referenced just eight days ago in a post here titled Skimming the Totalitarian Playbook…and Connecting a Few Dots. But is …

The Real Story is Hiding in Plain Sight
The real history of our time, if it were ever to be written, would not be very kind to many departments and agencies of the modern Progressive administrative state. (I guess that during the Trump years it may have been correct to reference the “deep state” but even the modest perspective we have today shows …
