Plan B

SCOTUS: You really can’t even charge your rival with a crime because his presidency made you mad. DEMOCRATS: Got it. So we…

America Takes A Six Month “Lid”

America’s Abusive Spouse
Notice how many Democrats and media people (ptr) are gaslighting working Americans about the economy lately? The Dow Jones and the level of GDP is nice and all, but inflation is rising faster than buying power, and is going to get worse before it gets better, if it gets better.

A Stylish LIttle Stiletto Boot On Your Neck Forever: Apple Valley Edition
Among Big Left’s great crimes against history is the complete devaluation they have achieved against the term “Fascist”.

No, really: And Big Left knows what it’s doing, since the other options have…

Dog Whistle
We talked last week about Peggy Flanagan’s absurd take on parenting. Here it is again: She followed up with this photo. Check out that righteous Bowie knife. There are only three interpretations for this symbology: Not sure which it is. I’m open to suggestions. Speaking of which – I have four friends that one could…

Make Orwell Fiction Again
Badthink is the new…badthink. Or to put this in terms any Second Amendment activist can relate to, “Don’t be paranoid. Nobody’s coming for the language itself”. Pathologizing freedom of conscience by speciously linking it to objective evil? Demonizing dissent? Oh, yeah – and just flat out lying… …to gull the gullible – a population the…

The Low Bar
I hope you all had a happy, blessed, gratitude-heavy Thanksgiving. I hope you did not spend the day alone in a New York apartment, sitting on your toilet, hunched over your smartphone, obsessively typing bilge out onto social media.

Of Gratitude And Goals
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I have so much for which I should be grateful – and I’ll be going through the list, as far as I can, tomorrow. But I’m going to jump the (if you’ll pardon the expression) gun, and say I’m thankful I’m not that this grift. Whoah – did I say grift? I…

Slipped
If I were on the Nobel Committee, this simple meme would be my nomination for the Nobel Prize for Literature this year: It’s simple, and it sums up the modern culture war to a “T”. We warned you that if marriage got redefined to something other than “a guy and a gal” to “two people…

Breaking News (Breaking Wind) From Seven Years Ago
Deep thoughts from Chris Cillizza, circa 2015: Joe Biden’s unique trait as a politician is — and always has been — his honesty. Sometimes that honesty gets him into varying degrees of trouble. Sometimes it makes it seem as though he’s the closest thing to a real person you could possibly hope for in politics.…

The Most Berg’s Seventh Law Op Ed In History
Berg’s Seventh Law – “When a progressive issues a group defamation or assault on conservatives ethics, character, humanity or respect for liberty or the truth, they are at best projecting, and at worst drawing attention away from their own misdeeds” – has been getting a workout lately. But this next bit – an LATimes response…

Look What You Made Us Do
To: DemocratsFrom: Mitch Berg, whose common “irascible peasant” self-appelation has never seemed more on-target. Re: You Dear all Democrats, Every once in a while, in front of a friendly audience, you slip and let the truth out. In front of the NPR simps in 2016, for example, you said in as many words it was…
