What’s The Fastest Way To Get National Media Coverage?
Easy. Be a loser living in their mom’s basement, or a preacher of some obscure separatist sect back in some holler in the Appalachians, or to pick a current example, the “editor” of a newspaper with a circulation roughly that of this blog’s daily readership. Then… Express some form of sympathy for the Klan, or…

Why Does Governor Walz Hate The Environment And Want Rural Minnesotans To Die Flaming Deaths?
Governor Walz provides the service for which Big Environmental paid good money. Notwithstanding the fact that the Enbridge pipeline would replace hundreds / thousands of derailment-prone tanker cars and crash-able «trucks that currently transit populated areas and sensitive environments with a pipeline that will be gallon-for-gallon vastly safer for both people and the ecology; Walz…

Open Letter To The Entire US Senate GOP Caucus
To: Entire US Senate GOP Caucus From: Mitch Berg, Cranky Peasant Re: A Big Lie Senators, Confirm Brett Kavanaugh. Now. The allegations against him are of a piece with nearly every leftist narrative today – utter crap. It’s transparent BS. Like most lefty memes – “gun violence”, the “War on Women”, the $15 minimum wage…

The Real #Resistance
Silicon Valley – and its various satellites around the country, including whatever software design culture that exists in the Twin Cities – has trended left of center for a long, long time (although not forever; it used to be fairly libertarian – a change that’s been a net loss for everyone). That’s changed, of course;…

Collision In Intersectionality
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Minneapolis Gay Pride parade started late. Gays were blocked by Blacks, protesting a shooting. Their lives matter, you see, whereas gay lives . . . . By adopting the tactic of hijacking other people’s events solely to generate publicity, BLM has turned into the Westboro Baptist Church. Their protests…

Expect A Surge In News About The “Alt Right”
Why, you may ask? Because it seems to be collapsing. And Big Left needs a boogeyman to flog (other than the NRA) to turn out the droogs.

What Is It About “Progressive” Non-Profits…
…that draws the toxically arrogant and depraved with such crystalline efficiency?

Imagine
Imagine if a conservative group that was as tightly connected with the leadership of the American rights as “Anti”-Fa is to Big Left were to publish something with a tone like this. And you’d have to imagine it – because nobody this side of Alex Jones does, or would.

Right Now In Berkeley
I just got this from a contact of mine at UC Berkeley: My contact asked “is that all they could find – one quote from Ben Shapiro?”

It’s Satire
Probably. Barely.

Let The Great Retraction Begin
There must have been a poll showing that voters don’t, in fact, thing of “Anti”-Fa / the “Black Bloc” as anything but a bunch of pampered snowflakes; the left is starting to distance themselves from them. The mayor of Berkeley – which has all but packed box lunches for the Blackshirts in recent months –…

Charlottesville Was Just The Middle Of The Story
Even Orwell couldn’t keep up with this vision of today’s American left. Too many good quotes to even pick one. Just read it.

Charlottesville = Gliwice?
It’s not quite a Berg’s Law, but it’s getting close; if violence breaks out between the left and the right, and the media claims not to know who started it? The left started it. And if they claim the right started it, without absolute dead to rights evidence? The left started it. Maybe a corollary to Berg’s…

Rebooting Berkeley
This email was circulated at Berkeley earlier this week, according to an acquaintance of mine: “Dear Students, Faculty and Staff, This fall, the issue of free speech will once more engage our community in powerful and complex ways. Events in Charlottesville, with their racism, bigotry, violence and mayhem, make the issue of free speech even…

Punch Back
The builders of the Dakota Access Pipeline are suing the racket of “environmental” groups that spent half a year obstructing their work: From last summer through the first couple of months of 2017 there was an all-out assault on the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Protesters, summoned to rural south central North Dakota by…

Tribes
I’ve run into some people since the Charlottesville episode who’ve been rationalizing “Anti”-Fa; basically, the line is “they’re thugs, but they’re thugs who beat up people I don’t like”. I’m not saying people who believe this are people who want to bring on tyranny. Just that any tyrant is going to need society…

So Much Work To Be Done
So many statues out there – ergo, so much triggering. As Big Left prowls the country looking for history that “triggers” them and must be destroyed [1], it’s probably worth pitching in and helping findi more history that needs to be expunged. Exhuming McCarthy: much has been made of the statue of Lenin in, where…

Proxy War
At Berkeley, police stood down as the Blackshirts attacked conservative events – twice. At Middlebury College in Vermont, police stood idly by as “Anti”-fascists attacked a conservative speaker and one of their own professors. And in Charlottesville last weekend, the police were given a “Stand Down” order, (by a mayor who condemned the permitted protesters,…

Telegraphing
To: Minnesota Public Radio News From: Mitch Berg, irascible peasant Re: Your Teaser This Morning Heard on MPR’s morning edition: Cathy Wurzer blurbs to tease an upcoming story: “Will an Embridge pipeline in Northern Minnesota become the next Standing Rock?” Given MPR’s connections to the Twin Cities’ Big Environmentalist Left, you’ll pardon me if it…

Mission Accomplished, Dumb*sses
It’s 2009. Barack Obama is president – elected in part by a biblical wave of support from black voters and novelty in the general election, and identity-mongering in the primaries. You’re a Democrat strategist, planning ahead to the next two elections. You need to keep women – Hillary Clinton voters – engaged enough to vote…

Fierce
Not long after the inauguration, when Big Feminism threw their nationwide “Women’s March” in media centers around the country, I heard the usual suspects hyperventilating about all the “strong, fearless, powerful women” who were converging for the marches. Of course, I saw episodes like t his… …and observed that it’s always the “feminists” – male…

Lie First, Lie Always: The Anti-Gun Amateur Hour
Earlier this morning at the House Public Safety Committee hearings on the “Stand your Ground” billl, a “pro-bill” testifier erupted in a caracature of a pro-Trump, white supremacist tirade; at one point, he reportedly said it was time for gun owners to return to “lynching” people. Then he got up and walked out. He’s utterly unknown…

Leftist Justice – Saint Paul Style
Last weekend, a group of “anarchists” attacked a pro-Trump rally at the Minnesota State Capitol. Thugs wearing helmets and masks sucker-punched and kicked unsuspecting peaceful demonstrators, and in one case sprayed mace into a crowd of people. It was not a spontaneous event; they were quite obviously organized, equipped, and had planned for the…
