Grand Strategy – A Primer
If you were involved in any way in the 2020 riots in Minneapolis, even as a spectator, you know there was little organic and nothing spontaneous about them. With that in mind, I urge you to read this entire thread about the LA riots: Babies getting tear-gassed? They’re just eggs for the greater omelette:…

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…

The Thing That Wouldn’t Die
A friend of the blog emails: I was always afraid the activists had too much control, [the FOB’s spouse] was confident that the state wouldn’t do something this stupid. But, it is getting talked about in mainstream media now. It’s probably really going to happen, isn’t it? The FOB is talking about the “Plan” being…

“Show Me The Conservative And I’ll Show You The Terrorist”
I started banging this drum in 2009, when the Obama Administration and its camp followers started moving the Overton Window of authoritarianism to encompass basically every variety of conservative group, to gin up hysteria for (as a former commenter used to refer to it) a coming “tidal wave of right-wing terror that’d dwarf 9/11”. This…

I Read Deena Winter In The “Minnesota Reformer” So You Don’t Have To
Earlier this week, the Minnesota Reformer – a news outlet financed by “progressive” plutocrats iwth deep pockets – did its review of AlphaNews’s “Minneapolis Has Fallen”. The claims – well, I’ll let the tweet do the talking for the piece, entitled “I Watched Minneapolis Has Fallen So You Don’t Have To”. Let’s go briefly through…

Shots Fired
In the wake of his move to Twitter, some bad news for Tucker Carlson. He’s been banned from… …uh… “Tribel”. Because apparently nobody’s banning people on Mastodon. Or Air America, apparently.

Fifth Column
The Harvey Milk Institute in San Francisco is hosting the “Third Annual Midwest Gender Identity Summit,” – discussing the “needs of transgender patients in healthcare,” Just kidding. It’s the “Sanford Research Center”, in Sioux Falls. Sanford Health – the titan of rural healthcare, and one of the biggest employers in the upper midwest – is…

The Social Event of the Season/Your Morning Piñata
It’s the Woodstock of perfidy! Hail, hail, the gang’s all here*: *Kinda disappointed that ol’ Klaus Schwab couldn’t make it, but there’s hope George Soros will appear in animatronic form.

Buyin’ Time
You knew it was coming. And here it is — student loan “forgiveness,” baby: President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he will forgive $10,00 in federal student debt for most borrowers, fulfilling a campaign pledge and delivering financial relief to millions of Americans. Biden will cancel up to $20,000 for recipients of Pell Grants. “Both…

Just The News!
The “MN Reformer” is yet another effort to start a news organization by progressive plutocrats with deep pockets – because after the Minnesota Monitor, the Minnesota Independent and MNPost, certainly the fourth time’s the charm. They’ve actually done some decent reporting over the last year. Emphasis on “in the last year” – when there wasn’t…

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?”)

Realization
That feeling when you search, and search, and search, believing that something you see on social media just has to be from the Babylon Bee. But it’s not.

Bagman’s Groove
Value propositions: The Ukrainian energy company that was paying President Biden’s son Hunter $1 million a year cut his monthly compensation in half two months after his father ceased to be vice president. From May 2014, Burisma Holdings Ltd. was paying Hunter $83,333 a month to sit on its board, invoices on his abandoned laptop…

Try Some, Buy Some
Every desktop should have a link to The Devil’s Dictionary, the masterwork of Ambrose Bierce, who had his primary success in the late 1800s and into the early 1900s. Bierce’s cynical lexicography still rings true, a full century after he wandered into Mexico to meet his Maker circa 1914. To use one example, Bierce defines…

If You Are Over Age 19…

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…

The Usual Suspects
Trump supporters on the Mall “Trump Supporters” who stormed the Capitol. We’ve seen the horned-hat guy before: Wasn’t there a famous incident a centuray ago, a fire blamed on innocent people which gave a certain politician the excuse to seize power?Are we absolutely certain the troublmakers were ordinary Trump supporters, same as the rest of…

Fair Is Fair
Liberals insist Citizens United was wrongly decided and must be overturned. Really? The Supreme Court made a mistake? A mistaken decision must be overturned? Okay, I’m good with that. But Citizens United concerns a narrow area of free speech as it applies to political campaigns. Let’s start with cases that have broader societal impact, because the…

The 12th Commandment
It’s an oldie but a goodie. And as we head toward another election sure to be driven by Big Left’s narratives and Trump’s responses to them, this bit here is worth committing to memory: Journalism is always about “asking the questions that matter” – where “matter” in this case means “furthers the narrative”.

Thirty Million Dollars Worth Of Nothingburger
I could try to write something about the denouement of the Mueller investigation. But why bother, when this thread by left-leaning journalist Glenn Greenwald does it better than anything I’ve read over the weekend. This thread is the “pull quote”, if you will – but there’s stuff worth reading before and well after it; I…

I Love Watching Liberals Rip Each Others’ Hair Out
The board of “Wellstone Action” has voted the sons of the late Senator off its board; the Wellstones had too much affinity… …for rural white deplorables who forsook the Democrat party. And like all apostates, they get no love from the Big Left: Founded after Wellstone’s death in a plane crash in 2002, Wellstone Action…

Market Discipline
While Academia is a vast holdout against the free market in countless ways, it appears to be exerting some hint of market discipline in at least one case: Hillary Clinton’s take on the speaking circuit is not even on par with a reality TV star like Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, nj.com reports. Clinton reportedly received $25,000 for a Thursday…
