one lonely outpost in the ongoing war on intellectually dishonest narrative cultivation
As posted this morning at the legacy site: A search of the term shows that I am certainly not the first and/or only Member to touch on the subject, but I have touched on it several times in pushing my own agenda around here…like this example from January 13 of this year: So many years …

Around this time on the eve of Election Eve four years ago I posted about the competing realities surrounding the perceived state of the race. That post is recreated in its entirety below. Looking back at that moment, it is chilling to see that the “optimists” were still looking to filter the polling data for …
A few days before this year’s officially-cited-but-not-really-observed election "day" provides a good opportunity to return to this series…it being a (very imperfect but sometimes informative) touchstone into the ever-shrinking world of the moderately intellectually honest Democrat. In this episode Madam Althouse appears to come out from behind the usual forced neutrality with a brief but …

With a slight modification to be less specific and more fitting to the still evolving impact of the modern Progressive movement on the relationship between We the People and the Government that strives more and more to rule us, the title above seems about perfect. As related to us by Powerline this morning, the comes to us from …
Instapundit links to an Elon Musk tweet this morning that quotes an important Glenn Greenwald observation: The US has no functional president and has not had one for months, and it’s barely noticeable and barely matters because there’s a permanent unelected machine that runs the government. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1850462045335933266 Elon adds: BINGO Thomas Massie interjects: “Where’s the lie?” Well, that …

I regret to inform those who have been anxiously awaiting the data tables promised in the PREVIEW post a few weeks back that they are about to be disappointed. Links is all you will get today (see below). I just have time today to start poking at the data just a little bit. You may remember that …

With that said, unless I’ve missed a big endorsement announcement, I feel the need to ask: Is it a shameful and (re-)defining silence in or around this tent? With just a smidge over two weeks before Republican voters are required to stop …
Or…the alternate title: Eighty-Plus Million Biden Votes My Arse. While I’m sure this has been done before, I feel it needs to be done again under the critical eye of my very important agenda. I am working on a post to evaluate the impact of the basic strategy noted in the title above as demonstrated …
Several times on this bandwidth I have recommended the book 1775: A Good Year for Revolution for an excellent history of the immediate run up to the revolution. Well, I am now about a third of the way through what (so far) promises to be another fine recommendation. This one takes a little bit longer view: The Revolutionary: …
By all rights, this one should also fall under the ‘…we the voters ought to notice the silence and think about what we are not hearing…’ title line but I decided to change it up a bit. But I do want to repeat something from one on the links in that prior post that did use it…specifically, the one …
