All the left has to do is not appear crazy,. It’s just crazy enough to work.

Twin Cities Left: Bring Back The Good Old Days
A group of federal law enforcement agents – FBI, DHS – apparently served a warrant for drug trafficking and money laundering on a restaurant at Lake and Bloomington in South Minneapolis yesterday. And it’s almost – I say, almost – like Twin Cities Big Left is trying to coax a riot out of the situation: I…

There May Come A Time…
…when the left comes to realize that it was a, er, tactical error to pick people like these as their public face: But it sure hasn’t been this election cycle.

A Tale Of Two Years
Leftists, 2020: “Punch a Nazi!” Leftists, 2024, being thwarted in their protests in support of actual modern-day Nazis [1]: “Heeeeeeey! No fair punching!” [1] In the “fascist dictatorship founded on racial obsession, focused on murdering Jews” sense of the term, rather than the “I’m a leftist and I don’t whatever it is” sense.

Religious Radio
The worst part about last week’s news about long-time National Public Radio (NPR) editor Uri Berliner’s tell all about the network’s, uh, systemic bias toward the left isn’t the bias itself (and if you haven’t read Berliner’s entire article, you should). We all knew that; it was obvious on issue after issue: It’s not that…

This Is Big Feminism Today
Big Feminism – in this case, the always-puerile Jessica Valenti – is going after Idaho with the same nuanced grace as a Rashida Tlaib press conference. They’re attacking over Idaho’s first prosecution in an “abortion trafficking” case: Unmentioned (but for community notes) – the woman was impregnated by a rapist. The accused rapist and his…

Master Debaters
At some point over the last five or six years, Big Gun Control – a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Left – decided they were done trying to debate second amendment rights groups. Its hard to fault them on their reasoning. Every time they have tried to debate the issue against a “near pair opponent“…

Career Opportunity
Is there a career option as solid in the long term as being a leftist alarmist, whether one is never, ever right or merely always wrong? No. There is not.

Countergaslight
Are you old enough to remember when our Expert Class (TM) sicced it’s PR machine, and Big Left’s army of howler monkeys, from Stephen Colbert down to its horde of demi-human twitterbots, on anyone who expressed even ambivalence about Ivermectin? “Hahaha, he’s peddling horse medicine!” was about the level and extent of the discourse? Are…

Truth And Reconciliation
To: Scott Jensen/Matt Birk Please, please, please: if you happen to win the Governors race, promise to release the full, unredacted records from the state’s “Covid snitch line” Because I want to find every single one of these backstabbing weasels. People often would send in lists of “non-essential” businesses that remained open or weren’t strictly…

Happy Days Are Here Again
So how to stop Dobbs? Declare a sex strike: Some on the left have come up with creative ways they think will encourage people to save Roe v. Wade. Earlier this week on The View, co-host Joy Behar floated the idea of a sex strike. “Women in the world have conducted sex strikes in history,”…

Should, Heaven Forfend, Karen Slip Its Leash
So why are the Democrats hammering on January 6? To draw attention away from their own hatred of self-government, of course: Anyone say “it’s not about science, it’s about power?” Perish the thought: – Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters would oppose a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose not to…

Crisis
When I was a kid, working at small-town radio stations in North Dakota, my favorite part of the job was working during tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings. Which seems counterintuitive, perhaps – but there was something about the crackle and buzz of imporance, of purpose, in the air; the increasingly urgent National Weather service bulletins,…

Everything’s A Wedge
According to Dana Milbank… …dissenting from Big Left/Big Media/the Brandon administration is “fascism”.. Not sure if they’re trying to foment a civil war. If they were, what would they be doing differently? (And how is the Brandon Administration “salvaging democratic norms?” Labeling everyone that disagrees a “white supremacist?”)

Cross-Cultural
Re draconian restrictions with a goal to “eradicate Covid with zero cases and fatalities”: How long can this last? If it was up to the drunk-on-power politicians and bureaucrats who have found a winning electoral formula, health experts who have found relevance, and the deathly scared who have found a sense of safety (and, for…

Armageddon Deferred: Karen Hardest Hit
For the second straight year, Big Media, serving as the exposed id of Big Karen, has predicted the Sturgis motorcycle rally was going to be a “super spreader”. And as the event – and the attendant Covid surveillance – unrolled, I started getting the impression that most of the “news” coverage had been written in…

Of Dictators And Religions
It was interesting, a few years back, watching the retrospectives of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Here’s a sjhort one: It’s as fun to watch now as it was otherworldly and unbelievable back then: after decades of complete control, a government official’s inadvertent slip causes and uproar; another official’s resigned ad-libbed decision opens a…

Firing Across Big Karen’s Bow
I’ve had Covid. It was a symptomatic case, although very manageably so. As such – as we have established in this space, with information from the National Institutes of Health – I have an enhanced degree of, if not complete immunity, at least enhanced, probably highly-enhanced, resistance to Covid. WIth that being said, I also…

Like Charlie Brown Lining Up For A Kick
I’ve been citing Turkish-via-UNC/Chapel Hill sociologist Zeynep Tufekci’s work on bringing actual scientific thought to the response to Covid almost as long as there’s been a pandemic. There is literally zero evidence that Tufekci’s latest article in the Atlantic, 5 Pandemic Mistakes We Keep Repeating, is aimed at the Walz administration and the MDH. But…

Mass Death Fails To Materialize: Big Karen Bereft, Distraught
Big Karen warned us – those Super Bowl tailgate parties in Tampa were going to lead to the extinction of Florida Man. Those of us who paid attention in high school science noted that there’s incredibly low correlation between outdoor gatherings and Covid transmission. “The science says ‘obey or die!’”, Big Karen responds. Observation indicates…

Bad News / Good News
The bad news: As I observed with Ann Bauer while filling in for Brad Carlson last week, lockdowns are killing kids – especially kids who are, like so many these days, predisposed to mental illness: Millions of American kids are struggling, and their chances for long-term improved mental health is predicated on the notion that…
