Hold On Tight

I am moving to Bluehost.  This blog and (hopefully) everything in it.  The move should be transparent, but it will probably be a disaster.

You brave souls with the trauma of Anything2.0 deserve better — well, you’ll probably get much worse.

I am so furious at Yahoo hosting and email and all the rest of it that I will simply rip the band-aid off.

 

Here we go…

Mikhail’s Navy

Driving off base today I saw a protest.  There were a bunch of protesters waving signs.  Chanting.  Yelling at cars going by.  People honked to show support in response to some of the signs (“honk to show your support,” etc), and the protesters all went “Wooooo!”

* THE PROTEST WAS ON BASE. *

There were people in uniform in the crowd, along with people in civilian clothes, children, etc.

I was going to turn right and leave base until I saw this thing, but I got a power surge in my WTF circuit, and drove about a block up the road and into a parking lot, throwing the van around a little until I could get lined up to return on the proper side and pull up at … Continue reading

Interlude — Star Wars Sucks

The last time you saw a conservative movie was probably Iron Man, and before that, The Incredibles.  In Iron Man, Tony Stark, Billionaire Playboy, debated and demonstrated the role of private industry and its responsibility to its country and its people.  With great power comes great responsibility.  This thesis was ignored in the second movie, and thoroughly countered in the third movie, which is why it was all special effects and nineteen Iron Men.  The plot had fallen apart, the moral argument abandoned, and Hey look — another explosion!

Everybody hates Star Wars, but especially conservatives.  George Lucas is feeling the lash by now, with characters he worked hard to create (and destroy) simply being written out of storylines so that newly-minted girl power nobodies can carry the … Continue reading

Domestic Enemies

Here’s a clear example of a Domestic Enemy.

One of the groups demanding the statue’s removal is the Humboldt State University student group, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanco de Aztlan, whatever that means.

I’ll tell you what that means, Mark Steyn — it means Death to America.  We used to illustrate a point about Israel by thinking about America as if Gaza were Mexico.  And now it is.

In the eyes of the Calistinians, Israel has no right to exist just as America has no right to exist.  In other news from another front, one of our governmental bodies has finally decided that China is playing to defeat us, not for parity.

  • FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a dire warning about China’s growing influence during a Senate … Continue reading

Christians Call Jews “Nazis”. In Jerusalem.

Well, it must be pretty horrific for this to be true:

The Christian leaders responsible for the site issued a joint statement bemoaning what they called a “systematic campaign of abuse” against them, comparing it to anti-Jewish laws issued in Nazi Germany.

And what is the unspeakable horror visited on these Christians?  Apparently, their church (not just any church) is being asked to pay taxes on its many non-religious business holdings, including hotels, “halls”, and a booming business in lease operations and real estate sales.

I wouldn’t care so much if this were just a struggle over taxes.  After all, I do not know thing one about the Israeli Constitution, and do not know what freedoms may be enshrined there.   But for these church leaders to call … Continue reading

Meet Frank Luntz

Here’s Frank Luntz in the initial wave of #Shithole commentary.:

Someone please tell me how insulting billions of people across the globe makes America great again.

Teach me how you defend the indefensible, because I sure can’t. https://t.co/ASRJ3SF7cZ

He’s been a darling of the squish-right since the squishies were granite.

His focus groups were popular during the Bush (I think) and Obama administrations for telling the truth of popular conservatism to the power of leftist media shills.

Back when I was all into Hugh Hewitt’s formerly wonderful radio show, Hugh was all into Frank Luntz.  I bet that relationship has not soured, but I’m no longer down with Hugh.  Hewitt showed himself to be a scorched-earth … Continue reading

Newser — Leftist News, or just Lefty News?

It can be difficult to sort out the source from the selection.  I’m looking at Newser.com because it popped up in my FB feed a couple of times, and so far, hasn’t #triggered my bias meter.  Oh, it’s all likely leftism of some sort or another, seeing as it’s news and all, but I wonder if it is damnably biased or merely flawed.  In today’s news environment, those are the two ends of the spectrum.

Any opinions one way or the other?
