Cultural banality in America 2.0 Long ago, in an America far removed from its present facsimile, there used to be rock and roll. It was a great thing. It started my little seven year old feet tapping, when I first heard Ricky Nelson, Leslie Gore, Del Shannon, Motown, Gene Pitney, Bobby Vee, and all those […]
No statesmen in our woodpile As I’ve mentioned before, I have no idea why I still pay the slightest attention to politics. I derive absolutely no enjoyment from it. Changes that are absolutely essential never come. The changes that do occur just make things worse. And we continue to be “represented” by carnival barkers and […]
The monsters on main street I write a lot about conspiracies. And you can’t have conspiracies without conspirators. But I’m also interested in the pathological personalities that exist in every community, outside the influence of any shadowy and nefarious organization. Especially the ones who appear “normal” in every way. Until. The case of John List […]
This David isn’t beating Goliath I can’t help following the Austin Metcalf-Karmelo Anthony racial saga. This is the big story of the moment, framed dishonestly as always, highlighting the two sides we have to choose from. What the great Huey Long called Tweedledum and Tweedledee. High Papa Lowem and Low Papa Highem. Servers working for […]
Recently, a young Black male killed another young White male. This is hardly news, seeing as how every day, young Black males kill. It’s a ‘hood workout. The apparent motive in this case, was that the young Black male felt “disrespected.” In ghetto culture, you don’t accept “disrespect.” You have to respond, too often in […]
Dead and still winning The Right- both “awake” and in conservative slumber- are still rejoicing over Donald Trump’s glorious election to a second term as president. He won every swing state, we are told repeatedly. Or is it battleground state? I get confused. I guess either one works. Think Hamas and Hezbollah. Trump certainly seemed like a […]
Meet the new Trump, same as the old Trump Well, the bloom is off the Trumpenstein rose. It was a giddy start to his second term, where it seemed like perhaps he was finally going to fulfill some of his many promises. With people like RFK, Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel in his […]
Pit bulls for propaganda I love women. There is nothing more heartwarming than a kind word or touch from a real lady. Or a sincere smile emanating from a beautiful face. What used to be called “the feminine virtues” are timeless qualities that fueled human civilization. Someone needed to tame the brutish nature of males. […]
Some facts are more equal than others I’ve explained many times before that I’d rather be talking about many other subjects than this. I have scores of partially Jewish cousins, but none of them think of themselves as Jews. With all the intermarriage that has taken place, I don’t know what it even means to […]
WWE theater front and center I have criticized Donald Trump countless times for his pattern of promising, bloviating, then backing off. Or more often flip flopping. I coined the term the Trumpenstein Project to explain his befuddling behavior. He talked the talk, but never walked the walk. All toupee and no cattle. Well, now he […]
