It seems that the puppet masters over at the Obama place sensed something in the air that pushed them to call up the pre-arranged news-cycle-oxygen-sink a bit early this week: Judge rules Donald Trump defrauded banks, insurers while building real estate empire I will leave any "details" beyond the title of the article for you …

Badly Repackaged ‘Narrative Fiction’ – The Laughable State of Modern Progressive Lawfare, Volume II

Volume I reminded us how the entire narrative about the Trump phone call with the gang down in GA was rather quickly shown to be nothing but masturbatory material for braindead lefties and their NT enablers within our perimeter. That post concluded: "Yet, none of that stopped the flunkies down in GA from regurgitating that …

Badly Repackaged ‘Narrative Fiction’ – The Laughable State of Modern Progressive Lawfare, Volume I

Clearly the braindead stormtroopers for the cause and true believing lemmings of the left eat it up every time, but there must be a line beyond which it stops being just exercising the mass delusional hysteria machine to keep it in shape and becomes visible to all as the intellectually bankrupt twaddle that it really …

Crossroads – Passing Through the Nexus of the Anti-Intellectual Progressive Universe We Now Inhabit

There is a great scene from season 9 episode 19 of Seinfeld (The Maid) where Kramer finds himself abandoned in unfamiliar "downtown" and calls Jerry for help: Jerry: Well, what street are you on?

A Post-Mortem on the ‘Speaker’ Selection Process – In Which I (Likely) Break with Yet Another Powerline Prime

Well, the process seems to have been concluded and, once again, "next-in-line-ism" with a less-than-impressive figure proved more important to the Republican Party than a more acceptable - any more acceptable - candidate. It makes you wonder who and what is so heavily invested in Mr. McCarthy that it was worth this extended "embarrassment" to …

The Skewed Framing of the ‘Speaker’ Debate – Shameless Intellectual Un-Seriousness Spreads Well Inside Our Perimeter

The following was posted directly on Ricochet earlier this morning as a message to the members there: Sure, some of it is just embarrassingly shallow…juvenile taunts like: “They want Hakeem Jefferies as Speaker then?” and “it puts Pat Murray in line after Kamala Harris to be president.” I didn’t take time to relocate the video, …
