Shot in the Dark

  • Utopienfergnügen

    I caught this Twitter thread last week, and wanted to make sure I got a chance to talk about it. It’s by Andrew Hammel, an American living in Germany. The first people to pass it around to are all of your friends who still think Angela Merkel was the real leader of the free world…

  • Standards

    Don’t you dare say Democrats are unpatriotic: Mind you, that’s not a BLM or “Anti”-Fa Group. This is a Democratic party unit. UPDATE: But wait! Some of them do have some standards! A “Democratic Socialists of America” group apologized for a planned flag burning. They apologized to the environmentalists, anyway:

  • Those Darned Armed Bigots

    SCENE: Mitch BERG is picking up an Amazon parcel at the drop box at a Whole Foods on Selby Avenue. As he fiddles with getting the scanner to scan the bar code on his phone, Avery LIBRELLE walks up behind him. LIBRELLE: Merg! BERG: Oh, shhhhhhhure enough, it’s Avery. How’s thi… LIBRELLE: Republicans are racists!…

  • Unexpectedly

    I wasn’t living here in 1980. I’m not sure how Minneapolis’s Loony Left reacted to the “Solidarity“ protests in Poland – where the Polish “Solidarity“ trade union led a year of demonstrations against Poland’s communist government. The demonstrations – which newly elected President Ronald Reagan supported morally, symbolically and materially – were the beginning of…

  • My Feline Hero

    Submitted without comment: OK, not completely without comment. Good kitty.

  • Just A Quick Note

    A few regular-ish Democratic commenters have taken umbrage at my occasional statments along the lines of “Democrat voters have no critical thinking skills”. Let me explain. I say it because…’ …well, it’s true. Universally. Without exception. Case in point: “Shots in arms” – thanks to Trump. Billions for schools – that, with the DFL calling…

  • Tuesday Night Plans

    I’m pondering on what to do tomorrow. Voting in the GOP primary is relatively pointless – I’ve got my choice of President Trump or The Donald. Hardly worth a trip to the neighborhood high school gym, is it? On the other hand – paying a visit to the DFL primary it would give me a…

  • Let The Record Show

    The party of James Hodgkinson, of “Anti”-Fa, of Eric “Nuke The Gun Owners” Swalwell, of “Fight in the Streets” (VP candidate Tim Kaine and Loretta Lynch ) and punching teenage girls (Woody Kaine) and grownup girls (Keith “Thumper” Ellison) and fantasies (Madonna, Snoop Dogg, Bow Wow, MN DFL operative William “Guillotine” Davis ) and dramatizations…

  • Can’t Make This Bulb Much Dimmer

    I’m gonna take a wild guess that if you asked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez how precisely it was that the US defeated Naziism, “turbocharging the industrial base and floating the whole thing on a sea of oil and a mountain of coal, to back up a complete national militarization” isn’t what she’s thinking. I think she’s thinking…

  • Do you You Remember…

    …when the main stream media went nearly bugeyed shrieking about Melania Trump, Sarah Palin, and for that matter Nancy Reagan and their respective wardrobes? Of course you do. And I am just amazed that nobody in the mainstream media seems to find this remotely worth comment. It’s a wardrobe day in the life of the…

  • Orwell Was A Pollyanna

    Ben Shapiro challenged prog flavor of the month Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez to a debate – something she’s never had in her “political career”. Now, there’s no requirement that a pol debate anyone, ever – even their opponents for office, much less pundits.   Of course, it can be used against you – not that it matters in…

  • It’s Almost, But Not Quite, A Berg’s Law

    It probably doesn’t qualify as a “Berg’s Law” because it may not be absolute and universal – but for the most part, if you scratch the surface of an American “Democratic Socialist”, you’ll find a rich kid with daddy issues. So, it seems, with current socialist wunderkind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  Last week’s big primary winner in a Congressional…

  • Open Letter To Tim Walz

    To:  Represenative Tim Walz From:  Mitch Berg, Ornery Peasant Re:  Sell Sell Sell Rep. Walz, You’re running in a primary this fall against a dog’s breakfast of people who, notwithstanding your attempt to re-paint yourself as a “progressive”, are far, far to your left. To your credit, you’ve taken that “re-painting” pretty seriously: But your…

  • The Little Admiral

    New York has a poverty rate well above the national average.  Crime is rising in NYC, as taxes scare away more and more  middle-class jobs. So what does Andrew Cuomo want to do? Build a navy to chase oil drillers away from the New York coast: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has apparently become unhinged…

  • But Don’t Dare Say The Democrats Are Getting More Extreme

    California Dems refuse to endorse… …Darth Feinstein? Riven by conflict between progressive and more moderate forces at the state party’s annual convention here, delegates favored Feinstein’s progressive rival, state Senate leader Kevin de León, over Feinstein by a vote of 54 percent to 37 percent, according to results announced Sunday. That whole “California secession” ting…

  • The Right Women

    One of my favorite sociopolitical tales is that of Alan Dershowitz, the not-remotely-conservative legal scholar who once castigated the faculty of Harvard Law School for seeing diversity as “someone with different color skin, than you, or wearing a skirt, who thinks exactly the same as you do”. As predicted, the “Womens March” over the weekend,…

  • At Long Last, Agreement!

    Perhaps for the first time in 25 years, I agree with Michael Moore on something.
