I see the finely bred true conservatives in the old neighborhood are still the same as ever.

I defer to Groucho Marx on club membership.

I have been on vacation folks, in case you wondered where I have been.

I have finally acquired my fiftieth state, having travelled, stayed overnight and met the folks in the other 49 over the decades. The Red Headed Irish Wisecracker and I cashed in those credit card points and headed into the North.

Just a few impressions. We tended to get out into the rough and Alaska has a lot more rough than smooth. The cities and towns are few and the rest is is nature primeval.

We met fine folks out there, self reliant folks who seem to be solidly based in reality.

I enjoyed the tour. immensely. We put over 1900 miles on the GMC pickup we rented and saw some fantastic sights.

Our esteemed patron and sponsor posted about the power of images over words recently. Like many of his posts it operates on many levels. He is our Robin Masters to our wanna be Magnum.

In order to stir hearts and change direction when many oppose you, it is necessary to conjure with powerful juju or magic those things that fire the soul and make the human heart beat anew.

It seems America is seeking out like allies , those worthy with fight in them to move with us. We repel the weasels of Europe, but talk to the yeomen and people of honor.   We want the Brits who embody 1940, the Poles who fought against all odds, the Danes who still embody the longboats seeking the horizon.  Yes, … Continue reading →

A video shows depth of feeling. I cannot picture Obama or Hillary showing this kind of character.

To all the Never Rights I locked horns with on the “character” issue, imagine me selecting to emphasize this point with a specific finger.

I did my monthly check in on National Review and was stunned.

David French of “I might run for President” fame actually wrote a non derogatory article about the speech in Poland.

Jonah “Can’t buy pants” Goldberg went after those who trash on twitter without listening to the content of what Trump said.

Rich “I am no William Buckley” Lowrey actually decided that Trump is winning the immigration debate.

It took Kevin “Get a U Haul, you white trash scum” Williamson to get things back to normal. Trump, you see is responsible for not having solved the North Korean problem in five months because he tweets.  Had he not tweeted, you see, North Korea would be applying to be the fifty second state after Puerto Rico.

Watching the demonstrations in Hamburg and observing the gradual radicalization of the progressive movement as it senses a loss of power in America a few historical parallels emerged for me.

America is threatened , and as the President said so well in Poland, Western Civilization itself is threatened, mostly from within, although it is beset by external foes.

My parents knew the Great Depression first hand, it formed much of their character. For many Americans it loosened the bonds to the American Ideal and sent them looking for other ways, other answers.

Our elites from Joe Kennedy  to Charles Lindbergh to George Bernard Shaw saw the strongman fascism in Europe as a model for the future of humanity.  Many agreed in the 1930s.

Being a bit insomniac, I watched the President’s speech in Poland  today.

If you have not seen it, I suggest you  spare the 35 minutes.

It defined the spiritual backing of an approach to foreign policy rooted in admiring toughness and freedom and supporting those who embrace them.

He threw down on Germany and the Paris centric obsessed American Europhiles.

He set a tone going into the G20.

He informed Putin America will actively defend Poland while not mentioning that  the first LNG tankers from the US are on their way to Eastern Europe.

He left the impression that “This is the kind of Europe We will defend”, not the one engaging in globalist suicide.

I sense a shift in the Force, as if thousands of empty headed entitled progressive media pundits screamed out and showed their true colors….

Culture wars are won using cultural iconography.

The GOP consultant class has been clueless to this since Lee Atwater.

Coal Miners on stage out rank women in pantsuits with funny hats.

Families of victims of illegal alien criminals out perform street hoods waving Mexican flags.

Diamond and Silk beat Al Sharpton and Maxine Waters hands down.

Now CNN has become the internet thought police and attacked a kid with a Gif.

The Death Star just hit the very wrong target.

You will know the tide is turning when CBS, NBC and ABC all start to distance themselves from CNN.

I have been observing the latest complete and total misread and  pointlessly hopeless discussion of the actions of our President and my tolerance for bemused avoidance has hit it’s limit.

I even stopped by the old neighborhood for the first time in a while , using a web proxy to avoid detection and the take there is as deludedly useless as ever.

I have heard the pundits, the media , the Never Right and  running mouths like Sasse and McMullin  all describe the situation as:

Erratic, immature, inappropriate , counter productive, unbecoming, childlike, impulse control problem all centered around Trump’s conflict with the media .

Ryan has acted concerned, Lindsey Graham has tut tutted and so forth.

Some people look at the activity and see a strategy and … Continue reading →
