I am increasingly persuaded that Jim Jordan is the best that we have in the House of Representatives.

I am a white male Christian, heterosexual. Just letting you know so you can praise me for my incredible bravery.

I’m old enough that I remember Democrats were anti-communist.

I can’t help but Wonder how the fox News the Dominion lawsuit would have gone down if the Haldeman report had been released before fax paid $800 million dollars.

Joe Biden most certainly did not inherit a broken system. It was he who broken within the first three weeks of his presidency.

If you see Alvin Bragg, you might want to ask him about the 600 pages of excalpatory evidence that he hid from The Grand jury. It would be a good idea to find those, it might keep him out of jail. Of course if Donald Trump gets elected which seems likely, it might not.

So Blinken is over in Beijing telling the chicoms that we don’t support Taiwanese Independence. Who is we, Kemosabe?

Juneteenth: where we celebrate a large number of white, mostly conservative Americans fighting and dying to eliminate slavery in these United states.

Boy that’s about as dire a prediction in a title as you could find anywhere.

But that is the direction, I think, in which we are headed.

In watching the events of the last several years, and most specifically the last three, I am increasingly persuaded that there’s going to be no avoiding this. I have had the general sense for a long time that the two sides of this upcoming conflict are not going to be defined by state lines, but rather my ideology, and in that mostly the cities versus everywhere else in the country. The cities obviously be more attuned to the left.

This perception crystalized I’m hearing last week’s Observations broadcast. (For those who remember the old q&o blog, which I miss greatly by the way, Dale Franks and Mike Wade have been running their podcast for a few years now.)

The guys touch on the subject of the possible implications of that civil war I mention. Neither one of them want such a conflict, and I suppose I should say I share the sentiment.

I should also say that I do not share Dale’s view on Donald Trump. That said, I do agree with him that the constant drumbeat of political persecution against him is going to be the lit match in the gasoline tank that’s going to set this thing off.

Bud light is done.



“We’re looking at losses in the billions when this is all said and done,” said the company’s newly-hired marketing director, Joe Barron, “there’s just no way the company can possibly continue this way.”

Barron says they will phase out Bud Light by the end of the year, with its final production run coming at the end of the third quarter. “We’ll use that stock through the Christmas season and be done with it.”


If I am the Democrats, I am very nervous about this outcome. After all, this is the first opportunity that most Americans have had to push back on what they’ve been pushing on us.

Then there’s  Garth Brooks. After seeing the damage done by the marketing campaign he decided to go a whole hog with it. He’s done. He’s lost his contract with Capitol Records, his bar closed inside of a week as investors pulled out.

These are fitting reactions. That kind of stupidity should be painful.

The strong reaction from Americans, pushing back against what we’ve been sold, is a wake up call. And you can guess what kind of impact this will have on the upcoming election.

Some interesting points passed on by a reader:

“In both the July and August 2020 issues of Astronomy Magazine and again in the June issue of 2021, there is given a measurement of our atmosphere. Discover Magazine has printed the same charts in its September/October issue of this year, 2022.

Astronomers know how to measure atmospheres.

Our atmosphere is composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, which adds up to 99%. Of the remaining 1%, .9% is argon. Carbon dioxide is about 1/25 of the remaining .1%.

There is virtually no carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. What carbon dioxide is produced, it must be used up at once by trees, plants, etc., so that carbon dioxide does not become part of our atmosphere.

If we stop the making of all carbon emissions, our plant life will disappear and we with them for they control the oxygen level of our atmosphere.

Two years in a row, Astronomy printed this material and not a single scientist has challenged their measurements.

Some time ago, some scientists published material about cold fusion. That was immediately challenged, and the idea discarded. No challenges here. How can you challenge a measurement?

Measurements are not theories or models. They are just what is. Climate change is real, it just isn’t caused by carbon dioxide (there isn’t any in our atmosphere).

Fossil fuels do not hurt our atmosphere. Archeology states that there have been many cycles of global warming and global cooling and we are now in a middle period. All these cycles happened before humans even existed. In a timeline of 4.5 billion years, the human race is just a tiny dot at the end of the line. If this tiny dot should suddenly disappear, the cycles would still continue. The planet does not adjust to us, we must adjust to the planet. Species that don’t adjust to the planet go extinct. Our atmosphere is nitrogen, oxygen, and a trace of argon.

A few years ago, a group of scientists took to a ship to Antarctica to study the climate. They went in January, middle of summer there. Their ship got iced in and they couldn’t go forward or backward. Our country came to their rescue to get them out of the ice.

The point is, in the middle of summer, the Antarctic was making sea ice. Strange, I never saw their report in any of the science magazines that I read. It certainly should have been in the Science News magazine.”

“The Presidential Records Act allows the president to decide what records to return and what records to keep at the end of his presidency. And the National Archives and Records Administration can’t do anything about it. I know because I’m the lawyer who lost the ‘Clinton sock drawer’ case,” Senior Attorney Michael Bekesha in WSJ.

….just saying…

I have long since begun to have a healthy bit of respect for Kennedy.

The problem with the FBI is the problem with any large centrally run organization.

The problem is power corrupts.

The only way to avoid that problem is to remove that power.

I’ll tell you the truth, I think it’s time to do that. It is time to end the FBI.

And here we go:

Eric Florack on June 15th, 2023
They have complete control over our institutions, they have the weaponry of all of our federal law enforcement, they have the ability to steal elections, and have done so twice now.

And yet, as we see every single day, they are still in full panic mode, afraid that they might lose to Donald Trump.

But how could that happen? With all that in their corner, how could they lose?

You.

You are the one that can make that happen. What they’re really afraid of, is the American people.

They are afraid of you.

If you think I’m exaggerating, ask yourself a question: what is the last time you heard of Democrats are their supporters being pursued by the supposed department of Justice?

Mike Shellenberger has a very interesting article up over at substack that you need to read today.

Pay particular attention to this passage:



It is unclear who in the U.S. government had access to the intelligence about the sick WIV workers, how long they had it, and why it was not shared with the public. “You would expect the country of origin to be defensive,” said Chan, “but you wouldn’t expect a country receiving the virus to be withholding key evidence.” On January 15, 2021, five days before President Joe Biden took office, the U.S. State Department published a fact sheet that pointed to the likelihood of a lab leak as the cause of a pandemic.

Already, the State Department in 2021 suspected that the WIV had lied to the public. “The U.S. government has reason to believe that several researchers inside the WIV became sick in autumn 2019, before the first identified case of the outbreak, with symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illnesses. That raises questions about the credibility of WIV senior researcher Shi Zhengli’s public claim that there was ‘zero infection’ among the WIV’s staff and students by SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-related viruses.”



Which translates to… “We knew we were being lied to.” And yet, our own government passed on that lie to the American people. Question is, why? As the article itself says:



Said Metzl, “Had US government officials including Dr. Fauci stated from day one that a COVID-19 research-related origin was a very real possibility, and made clear that we had little idea what viruses were being held at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, what work was being done there, and who was doing that work, our national and global conversations would have been dramatically different. The time has come for a full accounting.”

Indeed so. But you see, honesty at that point would have been counterproductive to those doing the lying.


Indeed, I think it’s worse than simple backside covering. I’m not at all sure I like the idea of calling this a lab leak. “Leak” assumes  that the release of this virus was an accident. There are far too many people who would see this release into the wild as an advantage. The Chinese government, the incoming Biden administration (and those backing it…)… and frankly Anthony Fauci himself, and that’s just for openers.


The sheer, cold logic of the thing… 

There’s nothing like a pandemic to bring the worldwide economy to its knees which in turn can be blamed on your political opponents.

Those millions of deaths?

Tragic, perhaps, but handy. Those can be blamed on your political opponents too, simply make the suggestion that he was responsible for mishandling things.

You can even reduce the number of votes your political opponents will get by handling things properly. Stuffing people who are suffering with the virus created by your team into nursing homes with vulnerable older Americans, for example. Don’t worry about the old people, after all they’ll only vote Republican. (Andrew Cuomo… call your office please.)

Okay, some of this is speculation but it’s the shortest path between the two points.

However that may be, it is very clear indeed that at the very least, laws were broken as regards gain of function research, which Anthony Fauci repeatedly denied was happening despite knowledge that it was in fact happening… (by virtue of Fauci himself being responsible for the funding of the research he denied was occurring.)

One more thing that this shows is that Senator Rand Paul had it precisely correct

Will those responsible ever be held accountable?

I would certainly like to think so, but I doubt it. The corruption runs far too deep for that. There are far too many people involved with this thing with far too much to lose.

Well for the last several days now we’ve been shown pictures of document boxes. Boxes, and boxes, and boxes. This is supposed to set in our minds the idea that the indictment from the Democrats is legit.

Then we come to the indictment itself. The indictment itself lists 10 documents.

Not thousands, not even hundreds.

10.

That’s not enough to fill one box, much less what they’re showing us.

There is but one conclusion to draw from this disparity:

The prosecutor in this case is desperately trying to sell something.

My old boss Roger Kimball:

The indictment against Trump was formally brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith. But the Journal is right. Smith is just an errand boy. “Americans will inevitably see this as a Garland-Biden indictment,” they noted, “and they are right to think so.”

Indeed. Elon Musk, no fan of Trump’s, put his finger on an essential element in this saga: “There does seem,” he wrote on June 8, responding to the indictment, “to be far higher interest in pursuing Trump compared to other people in politics.”

How’s that for understatement? Almost as good, I’d say, as his deployment of the future tense in his follow-up sentence: “Very important that the justice system rebut what appears to be differential enforcement or they will lose public trust.”

That ship has sailed, I regret to say. Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is as corrupt as Hunter Biden’s laptop. Few people of either party trust it, nor should they. What we need now is a bold new Hercules who can cleanse the Augean stables on the Potomac. It seems unlikely, I know, and perhaps supremely ironical, but the name of that cleansing hero may just be Donald J. Trump.

As Roger suggests, the American people know all this and will, given the opportunity, put him back in the White House.

What’s obvious about all of this is the Democrats believe that too which is why they’re in such a panic.

Eric Florack on June 9th, 2023
AOC has voices in her head,but she can’t understand what they are saying because of the echo.

There’s a reason why the Democrats don’t want any debates between Joe Biden and challengers from the Democrat party. They know that Biden would never be able to stay awake through it, much less survive any substantive debate.

It has been suggested for many years that if you put 100 chimpanzees into a room with 100 typewriters eventually they would write all the great works. I am convinced that dictation systems as we now understand them (on your phone for example) would prevent that outcome…

But I am equally convinced that it would create, within the halls of higher indoctrination, much debate as to whether or not it constituted art. Eventually, they would decide that it doesn’t and they would blame Donald Trump and man-made climate change for that.

We are oft told that we should respect other cultures. But I suggest that depends on the nature of the culture, because not all cultures are created equal. Consider the idea that some cultures respect their neighbors while other cultures eat their neighbors. I can’t help but Wonder if the people telling us that all cultures should be treated equally have any preference in that area.

They attack masculinity first, because they understand clearly that real men would never allow what’s happening.

If, as is often said, failure teaches larger lessons than does victory, then socialism, with it’s 100% record of failures, would have been eradicated over a century ago.

Clark Steele gets this one right:

Dear Mike Pence, let’s clear some things up. First of all you are a liar. Trump never asked you to “overturn” the election as you have no such power. You were asked to hold up certification due to the OBVIOUS irregularities that took place in that election. Based upon the numbers of that election supposedly 94% of the electorate voted, when has the electorate ever been over 67% participation?
Next up are your election chances, they are ZERO! Trump supporters hate you, squish Republicans hate you, Libertarians hate you and certainly pro-baby murder, groomer Democrats hate you.
You act as a fool used by the establishment and the Marxist fascists called Democrats attempting to destroy our culture and nation.
Your political capital is equal to that of Judas Iscariot.

That’s precisely my read on the matter as well.

Things could have been vastly different but he made the wrong choice. Now he’s going to have to live with it.
