As Usual… (Part II)


First of all, take heart! It’s all over but the shouting!

 

That doesn’t change the fact that there’ll be a whole lot of shouting!

 

Next, if you want to stop future outbreaks of things like this coronavirus catastrophe, then simply overthrow the fascist government in China and install a free-market democracy that will allow the Chinese people to prosper so that they’re not forced to eat all manner of wild creatures bought in disgusting, filthy, open air slaughterhouses called, “wet markets.”

 

Liberate China! (it’ll save millions, maybe billions, of lives)

Have Top Democrats Actually Gone Mad?


A leftist does the math,” and comes to the conclusion that Michael Bloomberg could “easily afford to give everyone $1 million dollars and literally never notice.” She tweets that out.

 

An MSNBC “news” show with Brian Williams —  prominent “news” man who was fired for, well, lying — and his colleague Mara Gay, discussed the tweet — on national television! — and treated the million dollar number as if it were a real fact. The real number, however, if distributed among all 327 million Americans would be… $1.53. 

 

The million dollar number is off by a factor of… more than 650,000.

Heroes!


It’s worth noting that in saving others’ lives, and in sometimes losing their own, these people just might have saved your life too — by being a big reason for why a potential gunman decides not to go on a rampage in the first place.

Jussie Smollett Did The Real Lynching


Will Smollett go to jail for his disgusting racist crime? Or will Chicago law enforcement again bend over backward to try not to look racist or homophobic? The Left have already done what they can to say, “Well, it wasn’t right, what he did, but you can certainly understand it!”  Nope. I can’t. If you can understand perpetrating a fraud that you know will cause harm to millions of innocent people, in order to get more money, then you have a serious problem.  Smollett’s crime proved pretty conclusively that the basic premise on which he committed it is false. In a truly oppressive country, you don’t need to fabricate oppression. It’s a feature of the system.

A Heartbreaking Post


There’s a marked increase in hostility on the Right, directed to the Right. However, if the Left were ever to engage in any kind of in-depth introspection, leftism would fall apart like the intellectual house-of-cards it is. It would become nothing more than a vast collection of tiny, spluttering splinter groups feuding and scrapping over tiny niche issues, well below the radar of a media corps too power-hungry to focus on such penny-ante flapdoodle.

The Catastrophic Failure that is Socialism


Capitalism is mostly about allowing systems and structures to develop and grow organically. In other words: free people using free choices to show other free people how much they value, or don’t, their products and services. 

In Venezuela, one of the natural resource-richest countries… in the world, the people have no food or toilet paper. So, to make things better for them, their government guns them down in the streets. Why? Well, the people are quite naturally wondering why, with all the natural resources their country has… they have no toilet paper or food. When they express those concerns in public the government solves their petty complaints by adding a few grams of lead to their diet. Continue reading The Catastrophic Failure that is Socialism

Lessons From the Left — or: Leftists are Child Molesters


Our problem on the Right is that we want desperately to think leftists are simply good, but misguided, people. Nope. They’re actually bad people. They mean to do you and me harm, both in order to take power AND to reshape America into their vision of what’s good and right: a country in which they hold the reins of power. The struggle, as far as the Left is concerned, is to the death. We need to be aware of that, and we need to recognize the implications of that. On the Left, at least at the leadership levels, they don’t care if we, and others, die. In fact, that wouldn’t bother them in the least. Leftist leaders are simply bad people.
