  • Social Participation Trophy

    “Dozens” [1] of Government workers are going to show Israel what-for by… …er… …skipping three meals: To be fair, skipping three meals [2] is arguably a bigger commitment to one’s cause than, say, a “stolen land declaration” or some other such frippery. If I were covering the story, I’d ask how many of the “dozens”…

  • One Day At Big Left (TM)

    SCENE: It’s a planning session at Big Left (TM), the central planning organization for leftist, “woke”, “progressive” groups. Avery LIBRELLE, Cat SCAT, Moonbeam BIRKENSTOCK, Stephanie Marie ANNAN, Edmund DUCHEY, Evan Micah BRYAN, Inge “Lucky” CARROLL are gathered around a conference table. ANNAN: We need to come up with something around which we can unite people…

  • Now That San Francisco Solved All Its Problems

    The SF City Council voted to clean up all the sh*t on the streets. Hahahahaha. Just kidding. The Cantina Band voted to throw their immense weight and foreign policy power behind a cease fire in Gaza: No word if a pre-emptive stolen land declaration on behalf of Hamas was included in the decree. Question: what…

  • A Real American Hero

    I don’t care what you say. This… …makes me feel genuine joy.

  • A Small Win

    Mia Schem is a 21 year old Israeli who was kidnapped at the Nova EDM festival on October 7, after her arm was mangled by a terrorist with an AK. She tells her story on Israeli TV. I’m trying to imagine a 21 year old American of either (any?) gender responding to 55 days of…

  • Let’s Not Forget…

    …who the real victim in the Claudine Gay flap at Harvard (according to the university’s governing “Corportation”) actually is. It’s Claudine Gay: “And she’d have gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for those darn meddling pouncing conservativesI”! And while Gay is gone, let’s remember that it’s not for the reason she should have been…

  • Your Christmas-Time Reminder That Everything Is Going Just Great

    Rabbi Schmuley relates this episode in Paris. No, of course it’s not Paris. It’s New York. (Although if that giggle trollop girl is 11 years old, I’m 18. But this is…Christmastime in the USA today. UPDATE: Schmuley seems to bring them out of the woodwork:

  • Massacre

    I’m a little old-fashioned in a lot of ways. I guess part of it goes along with being a conservative. And/or a Christian. And/or a decent human being. Which is why seeing the current statistics about the beliefs of the younger Gen-Zs seem so very catastrophic to me. Huge percentages of people from the late…

  • A Pattern

    SCENE: Mitch BERG is walking to his parked car after a political event in downtown Saint Paul. As he walks past a near-empty office building, MyLyssa SILBERMAN, Reporter for National Public Radio’s Saint Paul bureau, covering the “Fake News” and “Diversity” beats, steps out. SILBERMAN: Merg! BERG: Er, hey, Mylys… SILBERMAN: In recent years, you’ve…

  • No Mask Conceals Stupidity

    Blue City governments apparently think banning matches will prevent fire. No, it hasn’t quite gotten that stupid ytet. But give ’em time. Banning guns (in the hands of the law-abiding citiizen, at least) is a pretty common…conceit? Deflection? Fig leaf? Anyway – the notion that barring law-abiding citizens from using legal things to do things…

  • Berg’s Seventh Law Comes Screaming Back From The 1930s

    I was warned that if I voted Republican, there’d be an explosion of Fascist sympathizers. And they were right. Berg’s 7th Law is called a “law” for a reason. Senator Ron Latz – an anti-gun zealot about whom I’ve never, not once, said anything good or complimentary – came out in support of Israel finishing…

  • Open Letter To Modern Day Nazis

    Tear these down, bitch. (The above PDF loads kind of slowly. Small JPG below: I don’t have a literal wall to paste ’em up on. Play the hand you’re dealt.

  • Remodeling With A Smaller Overton Window

    My friend, advice columnist and author Amy Alkon, has been chronicling the orgy of antisemitism bursting out in the Los Angeles area. She filmed this encounter over the weekend: Let’s take Judaism, Antisemitism and the Middle East out of this incident. Let’s say this was a domestic altercation. A man Two men use their physical…

  • All Relative

    The incredibly aptly named Representative Debbie Dingell lectures us on semantics: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free“ means different things to different people in different times!“, says the font of wisdom, in rising to the defense of the loathsome modern Nazi Rashida Tlaib. And she’s right, in a sense. The phrase…

  • Review And Revise

    Whatever opposition I’ve had to deportation of illegal immigrants is waning fast: I’ll work my ass off for the first Presidential candidate to promise to deport aliens who are actively hostile to everything this country stands for. I said “actively”. And if the people in this mob are citizens? Deport whatever immigration official or politician…

  • History Talking

    I wish more American – especially Minnesota DFL – politicians could speak with the moral clarity that German vice-chancellor Robert Habeck does: While allowing that the Germans have a tighter definition of free speech than we do – when you let the depraved speak out loud, you can see what they’re doing in a way…

  • History Rhymes

    “The Devil’s greatest achievement was convincing the world he didn’t exist”— “Keyser Söze”, The Usual Suspects One of the greatest achievements of the modern Big Left is convincing the world, and itself, that the Nazi movement of the 1920s and 1930s was, like today’s “American” “Nazi” party, a movement of ignorant blue-collar and no-collar losers.…

  • Przioritiesz

    SCENE: It’s September 1, 1939. In the command post of the Republic of Poland Armed Forces. Poland’s Minister of War, Jozef BECK, and the Marshal of the Polish Military chief Marshal Edward SMYGŁY-RYDZ, General Szymon NOWACKI of the Armored Force,, are at the center of a gaggle of staff officers, poring over a wall full…

  • Compromise

    Someone walks up to you with a baseball bat. They say they want to kill you. Your response is “no, I don’t want to get beaten to death with a baseball bat”. Looks like you have a standoff. A controversy. A conundrum. Someone else steps in and asks “How about we compromise? Will you settle…

  • Rule #1: Know Your Audience

    Hamas leader puts out a dog whistle to western leftists: It’s not even close to the dumbest strategy.

  • Evil

    The Nazis weren’t especially coy about their views on Jews. Hitler telegraphed his intent in Mein Kampf. The Nuremberg Laws were a pretty solid hint. And yet in 1944 and 1945, as the wheels came off the Third Reich, they feverishly bulldozed the camps, shipped or force-marched the surviving inmates to other camps farther from…

  • Figures

    I take some time off from job, blog and radio show, and suddenly the biggest story in the world isn’t our senile president and Trump’s legal woes. The fiftieth anniversary of the Yom Kippur invasion, no less. Couldn’t see that one coming. Quietly hoping that this time Israel ignores the international yapping about cease fires…

  • Never Forget

    Yesterday was the date of a horrific atrocity. No, not some people kicking Ilhan Omar off of something. The 21st anniversary of the – words fail – supernaturally brutal murder of Daniel Pearl. You should read Yid With Lid’s entire piece on the subject, which writ larger is the fiction of the notion that “Antizionism”…

  • The black hole of Aghanistan

    SIGAR (the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction) was established in 2008 to serve as an oversight body. It conducts audits of reconstruction projects and its mission is to look for waste and fraud. In the wake of the collapse of the Afghan government last year, SIGAR was asked by Congress to look into the…

  • Rumor Of War

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Ukraine and Kazakhstan border on Russia. They are all mobilizing troops along the borders. Secretary of State Blinken says NATO never promised not to admit new members, and that the United States is fully committed to defending the principles NATO stands for. The US has moved an aircraft carrier…
