Speaking Of Shots In The Dark: Welcome To the New Design!

Great Job, Minneapolis
Whatever you do, stay the course: Keep giving the DFL more chances to try to run a city. Maybe a few hundred more second chances and they’ll get it… …nah. Can’t keep a straight face.

Snapped
Why are progressives so anti-gun? Perhaps because, subconsciously, they know Berg’s Seventh Law is for real. Gun-controller shoots her kids, self: Ashley Auzenne, 39, fatally shot Parrish, 11, Eleanor, 9, and Lincoln, 7 — and then herself — in their Deer Park home, local police said in a statement. Authorities found their bodies when they…

OK, Millie
A friend of the blog emails: “I’ve often found great enjoyment watching millennials fight with baby boomers in St Paul over “save the earth” issues. They seem to think they are vastly different from each other. I have yet to notice the difference. “So, I found the Disney heir’s recent comments even more…

Other Than Bring One Of The World’s Great Countries Back From The Brink Of Suicide, I Mean…
The Smartest Woman Ever and her daughter, Chelsea “The Ryan Winkler Of New York” Clinton, wrote a book about great women. And of course – you could see this coming – they left out “arguably” the greatest woman of the 20th Century. Hillary and Chelsea Clinton haven’t included Margaret Thatcher in their book of “gutsy”…

Coincidence?
In the old Soviet Union, people used to joke that they could tell when there was a shortage of butter, winter boots or heating oil was on the horizon, when Pravda would start running stories about how bad butter was for your health, how good it was to get your feel wet, and the benefits…

I Get The Sentiment
I really, really do. What conservative, when seeing the precious, twee pretense of “arty” progressives’ political statements, hasn’t been tempted to cut loose with a can of spray paint, a sawzall or an air horn, just as a statement of artistic criticism? The grotesque caricature masquerading as commentary? The sanctimonious preening masquerading as high-concept art?…

“Best Interests”
Progs wonder why the bitter clingers don’t vote in “their best interests” – i.e., for Progs. Because this is what “best interests” look like under “progressivism”.
-
Pitchforks
The FBI is politicized. The Federal law enforcement system is largely an extortion racket. The IRS is weaponized against conservative groups. Academia from Kindergarten through Post-Doctoral levels is an indoctrination scam. The media – on whom we once counted to keep government accountable – is a PR firm for one political party. Sometimes it seems…

Veterans Day
Today is Veterans Day in America. It’s the day we who didn’t serve in the military honor those who did. And it’a also two days after the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall – a symbolic event, to be sure, but one whose symbolism should not be diluted by modern revisionism. And…

Hollywood Polishes The Cannonball
Some stories shouldn’t need Hollywood to go all, well, Hollywood on them to make them riveting utterly compelling. But they do it anyway. And it’s almost always a massive drag. It’s not a new phenomenon; The Battle of the Bulge was utterly atrocious, seemingly feeling the need to dumb World War 2 down to a…

Getting It All Wrong
The notion of biological men “idenitfiying as women” (and vice versa) is old news. Male athletes “identifying as women” and clobbering the people who are, in the various sports/events, the weaker/slower/less agile sex is becoming both a little commonplace and a cultural punchline. So what’s going to bring some sense to this “social debate”? When…

Bob Fletcher Will Never Do Lunch At The Lex Again
This blog has taken considerable issue with Ramsey County’s once-and-again sheriff, Bob Fletcher, on many issues. But it’s hard to see this statement as much of anything but the inconvenient truth – at least as far as Mayor Carter is concerned: Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS this year’s sharp rise in gun-related deaths…

#MeThree
This is from a few years ago – but the sentiment is growing, at least among our self-appointed idiot elite. It’s from Roxane Gay, a feminist professor who, for some reason, got a writeup in the NYTimes: Men can start putting in some of the work women have long done in offering testimony. They can…

Lower Middle Class Ethnically – Nonspecific Privilege
A friend of the blog rights: Re: St Paul trash referendum- I’m laughing at all of the Vote Yes Progressive Mac Groveland/Merriam Park people A- who are suddenly perplexed by the strong No vote on the East side and B- who called No voters on the East side “selfish wealthy homeowners” when it was brought…

“So Why Are Dems And The Media (PTR) Jabbering So Much About Impeachment?”
Partly because their candidates re either insane or senile. And party because it beats trying to explain what they’ve actually done.

Why Blue America Is Doomed
Math is racist. Achievement is supremacy. Winston. Seattle Public Schools adopt program that turns math into yet another grievance studies program: In October, Seattle public schools unveiled a “framework” to inject “math ethnic studies” into all K-12 math classes, teaching “how math has been and continues to be used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color.”Students will be asked…

Similarities
Four years ago, Democrats got a little crusty when you pointed out that, underneath the targets of their respective rhetoric, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump had a lot in common. Both preached an implausible platform that grabbed a lot of people who wanted (and want) a politician to “Fix things”, sure. Beyond that, both of…

Every Once In A While…
…a prog lets the truth slip out. “Beto” O’Rourke, fake Latino beneficiary of a fake “Beto-mania” and former Presidential candidate – screwed up and told the truth behind Big Left’s approach to guns; they want them. All of them. Eventually. Beto slipped up and, in a fit of trying to re-attain relevance, let the end-game…

Who Has Two Thumbs…
…and tried to warn you that this exact thing was inevitable? (Points thumbs at self). This guy. The Vomit Comet (aka Green Line) is a rolling assault and robbery laboratory. The FOX 9 Investigators revealed that aggravated assaults on the light rail system, those involving a weapon or causing serious injury, numbered 59 through July…

The New Victorians
140 years ago, VIctorian manners were deferential to women, as befits behavior toward a weaker sex that needed to be protected. Apparently, we’ve regressed: a Kansas woman charged with falsely accusing an ex-boyfriend of rape won’t be prosecuted, because… …well… The woman was arrested for making a false accusation, even though she told police she…

Just Remember: There Is No Voting Fraud
SCENE: Mitch BERG is out mowing his leaves – using the lawn mower to chop and bag them. Taking a (what else?) left to right pass across his lawn, he is unaware of Avery LIBRELLE riding up the sidewalk behind him on reclining bike. LIBRELLE: Merg! BERG: Er…hey, Avery. LIBRELLE: You say that there’s rampant…

Have You Ever Noticed…
…that right about the time big left/big Media (pardon the redundancy) start telling us basic human lights like free speech and the right to keep and bear arms are bad for us… … they also start telling us that a diet of insects is good for us and essential to save the world? If you…

Diversity Falls Short
I am attending continuing education classes, required for Minnesota lawyers. The legal profession has a serious diversity problem. There are too many old white men at this conference, too few young hot chicks. Nothing pleasant to look at, when the Power Point is boring. Joe Doakes Pretty sure its true most everywhere these days.

Some People Did Something To Some Armenians
Ilhan Omar votes “present” on a resolution recognizing Turkey’s genocide of Armenians. And in her statement about that decision, she appears to have learned her rhetorical skills from leaving comments in the Star-Tribune comment section: Put another way – “the resolution’s silence about other genocides – mostly the ones involving the US, the country that…
