Welcome to the New Communist China, just like the Old (Maoist) Communist China, with a twist

For the past few months, the news has noted that Communist Chinese "Premier" Xi Jinping was about to claim an unprecedented third 5-year term in office.  That did take place yesterday, so no one should have been surprised.  Since his accession in 2012, Xi Jinping has been steadily consolidating his power, removing opponents everywhere from …

The difference between Leftists and Conservatives

The Left says to all its various "victim groups" that they deserve a bigger piece of the pie.  Since the pie remains the same size, that pits the various victim groups against each other, fighting over who should get more of the piece of pie. Conservatives, on the other hand, believe in making the pie …

Your electric-car horror of the day. Fire and water.

If you have been paying attention to the news at all this past week, you will be aware that a hurricane has hit Southwest Florida and the Carolinas, causing extensive damage.  The storm surge of ocean water propelled by 150MPH winds drowned a good part of low-lying Florida.  It turned out that people in the …

The Seattle minimum wage rises to $18.69/hour in January. Cui bono?

Cui Bono is a Latin phrase that means "Who benefits"?  Seattle's far-leftist city council believes that, if they raise the minimum wage, then low-income, low-skill people will be able to earn enough at their jobs to live on.  The State of Washington, which is also run by the Seattle Leftists, believes the same thing, so …

Kids today…not informed about Socialism

Kids today are not educated, but indoctrinated in Leftist ideology, which says that Capitalism is evil and oppressive, while Socialism is good, and involves people sharing what they have earned.  And Government will give you what you need, with no strings attached.  The meme above, and the one below, are just priceless.  That's all I …

Welcome, once again, to Joe Biden’s America

If it looks to you like America is going to Hell in a hand basket, you are not alone.  Today's news seems to contain numerous stories of deteriorating conditions in our cities, including huge increases in homicide, carjacking, organized retail theft, kidnapping, explosions, and just general mayhem.  Nearly every day, I see a new story …

Today’s Electric Car Story

It's priceless!  The story on Fox News about a Canadian man who bought his Tesla in 2013, and needs to replace its battery (equivalent to the engine in a gas-powered car).  It is well-known that lithium-ion batteries eventually lose the ability to maintain a charge, and must be replaced.  What is not so well-known, and …

The Left really does inhabit an alternate Universe

In the last couple of days, the Left has amply demonstrated that their Universe greatly differs from obvious Reality.  These stories really have me shaking my head in disbelief.  First, here's an excellent article dealing with the Left's alternate Universe. Have you seen any Republicans "running scared" ahead of the upcoming Midterm Elections?  I sure …

The lights are going out in Europe

And Germany has been the bellwether.  Back in the early 2000s, Chancellor Angela Merkel and her party made the momentous decision to begin the energy transition from "fossil fuels" to "renewables" as quickly as they could.  The scare-quotes around both terms are on purpose, because fossil fuels are not fossils (who is to say that …

Memes for the State of our Nation Today

With the FBI on the trail of the former President, parents deemed to be "Domestic Terrorists", the cost of everything skyrocketing, and trespassers in The People's House still rotting in the DC Jail for over a year, I think these reflect what is truly happening.  Do not read, or believe, anything published or broadcast by …
