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, …

Two Signs – Clarity Finds a Way to Those Willing to See
Two short items from today’s perusing of the news stick out as "tells" of just how intellectually dishonest the purveyors and enablers of Progressive forced-narrative mass delusional hysteria really are.

The Anti-Narrative – Page One of the Corrupt Media Playbook
The media has ceased to exist, and the public plods on by assuming as true whatever the media suppresses and as false whatever the media covers. - Victor Davis Hanson, December 4, 2022 Well, at least a growing portion of "the public" anyway.

American History and November 22: ‘Still got the shovel.’
Some greatness from Levon Helm: https://youtu.be/w8_jpjQXUyA Yeah. The world ain't what it seems, is it, Gunnie? ... You keep that in mind. The moment you think you got it figured, you're wrong.

Commitment to Liberty
...The problem now facing liberty is a new form of tyranny, a “social tyranny” exercised by the populace itself over the individual. – Pages 76 That is a portion of one of my favorite passages from On Looking Into the Abyss: Untimely Thoughts on Culture and Society by Gertrude Himmelfarb. It may be strange that …
Midterm Postmortem – Dead Dogma, Brain-Dead Voters, and Plate Tectonics
“[A] significant and growing portion of the American population [has lost] the virtues required to be functioning members of a free society.” – Charles Murray in Coming Apart (Page 289), 2012 The slightly bastardized (for the selfish purposes of my own agenda) and entirely overused quote above is the most succinct characterization of the state …
