The Walk
Our thorough discussion of Ryan Winkler’s tweet established thatDemocrats have a strong personal belief, perhaps even a moralconviction, that public safety is a government responsibility. Our thorough discussion of the lawsuit against Minneapolis establishedthat when citizens suffer because government abandons itsresponsibility, the citizens have no recourse under existing law. You must rely on us; but…

Civil Society And Its Abusers
One of domestic abusers most insidious forms of brainwashing is telling, and eventually convincing, their partners that the abuse is partly, or all, their own fault. “You provoked me”. “You shouldn’t have said __“. “You’re as much to blame as me. Maybe more”. We’ll come back to that. Years ago, I was at an event…

Reign Of Terror
Emery keeps bringing up the fact that Trump’s lawyers quit as proof there was no election fraud. Trumps lawyers quit because they were personally threatened with violence by the mob.Evidentally, Emery supports mob violence as a tactic to prevent proof of election fraud from seeing the light of day. Why doesn’t he want it seen? …

When Everything Is Pathology…
I’m going to modify Mahatma Gandhi’s classic aphorism on the course of dissident politics. First they ignore you. Then they mock you. Then they pathologize you. Then they attack you. Then you win. The term “whiteness” has become a key term in the word salad of modern progressive duckspeak. It it feels like the terms…

Minneapolis Is Choking
And it’s because the progressive movement has it’s knee on the city’s neck. Kevin Williamson explains, in a piece that’s too perfect to pullquote.

Residual Forces
In Ben Shapiro’s Sunday interview with Gina Carano that I linked yesterday, there were several passages that resonated. One in particular: I would go to a barbecue on the beach in California, and all these people would go [switches to sotto voce] “Hey, I agree with you. Messed up, isn’t it?”. And I’d be…’This is…

Threefer Madness
President Trump was acquitted in his second impeachment trial. Republican Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine,Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney ofUtah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania joined everysingle Democrat in voting guilty. No word on whether Democrats and turncoat RINOs will commence…

Required Listening
“People tell me ‘I see what’s happening, and I”m so afraid’. And I tell them ‘you should feel more afraid that they’re making yiou feel afraid’”. Get the truth about Gina Carano, because God knows the media won’t give it to you. It’s from Sunday’s Ben Shapiro podcast. And while Carano isn’t a highly polished…

Woodward And Bernstein Would Be So Proud
And to think people say the media has gone all soft now that there’s a Democrat in the White House. Pish-tush.

Last Day
Liberals insist their beliefs are the only acceptable beliefs and anybody who thinks differently is insane, their children should be taken away and sent to Re-education Camps, and the parents should be ‘cleansed’ from America. Assume Liberals are not lying this time and actually go through with it. If you knew that today was your…

We Have Reached “Peak Progressive Snowflake”
Truth is a trigger, apparently. A far-left progressive representative relates the “emotional toll” of having black female politicians’ “violent” rhetoric (if we’re using Trump’s rhetoric on January as the standard) in Trump’s defense: “The defense council put a lot of videos out in their defense, playing clip after clip of Black women talking about fighting…

Feniks > Penzey’s
A Michigan ammo company vows not to sell ammunition to Biden voters… …and puts its marketing where its mouth is: “Are you really willing to walk away from a paying customer simply because they voted for Joe Biden?” the company asked rhetorically. “Yes, yes we are. We’re dead serious.” “We don’t want your money, and…

In Re Big Guy
This is interesting Another stunning example of the ‘rules-for-thee-but-not-for-me’ attitudewhich is fast becoming a Biden administration hallmark. My question is: who paid the 10% to The Big Guy, for allowing this claimto go forward instead of having the FBI arrest them for sedition? Haven’t tracked that down, yet. Joe Doakes I think we’re talking a four…

All Is Proceeding
All is proceeding exactly as Joel Kotkin predicted. At least a decade and half ago, urbanist Kotkin predicted…the present. Even then, urban growth patterns were trending away from the core-city/bedroom suburb model of the 1950s-1980s; most real growth was occuring on the fringes of the cities, and in medium-sized cities at the periphery. Most immigration…

Talent, Being Paid Back With Interest To God
Word’s out that Rush Limbaugh has died of lung cancer. He was 70. I never met Rush, but I certainly ran into a key part of his legacy, up front. I was 25, and had gotten riffed from my first talk radio gig, at KSTP-AM. I was down – but not out. I had what…

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…

Walking Back…Most Of Their Assertions, To Be Honest
I recently suggested a new on-going feature, walking back the lies. I have another item for the column. The Best and Brightest people who sneered at Conservatives as ignorant, hateful racists for suggesting the debunked idea that a lab in Wuhan was the source of the virus and the Chinese were covering it up – are walking back the…

Dumb And Dumber And Dumber And Dumber…
Policy is downstream of politics. Politics is downstream from culture. Culture is shaped, to a disturbing extent, by people who want to try to influence it. And it’s been a cultural cliché for generation that television in its many forms has an overwhelming influence on society. And as someone who spent way more time in…

Pathology
As the bad night that was the 2018 Mid-terms ground along, I pointed out something I believe to be a truism: that “progressive” overreach might be its own best limiting mechanism. The downside (well, not the downside – one of many, indeed) is that we’re going to have to hope that’s the case, or that…

Your Papers, Please
A federal judge has ruled that a law requiring a citizen to produce identification upon a police officer’s demand is unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment.https://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/191700.P.pdf We have that law in Minnesota. This case is not from our district so it’s not controlling. But it’s certainly interesting. Joe Doakes Someone file a test case, already.

This Is What Urban Progressive Privilege Looks Like [1]
Every spousal abuser in history: “Yeah, sure, I hit you. But you provoked me – again. So you’re at least partly to blame. Maybe mostly. I mean, actions have consequences, baby…” Big Left’s latest line – through one of its local mouthpieces, former Reprentative and Lt. Gov. Candidate and Urban Progressive Privilege poster child, Erin…
