one lonely outpost in the ongoing war on intellectually dishonest narrative cultivation
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 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 …
Taking a break from today’s casual reading - A Will Rogers Treasury (1983) – to pass on a few semi-random thoughts for the day with more than a little assistance from Mr. Rogers.

Continuing with the narrative started in my last post where I wove bits of the early and developing aspects of the Never-Trump movement into the evolution of my posting agenda, here I want to move to the more serious aspects of the intellectually dishonest narrative cultivation machine…more specifically, the form it has chosen and continues …
I expect there to be several posts here at the beginning to offer a more extended introduction and to tie my existence here back to the scribblings at my prior on-line home. This will be one of them…starting with the basics: To the extent it is possible, I ceased to associate myself with the Republican …
Recent events and more than the usual disengagement from narrative media have me pondering two seemingly unrelated questions on the Tuesday evening: Why is the Biden Administration still hunting terrorists in Afghanistan and what exactly was the official government business need that was of such critical importance this week that Speaker Pelosi just had to …
