Dystopia is moving in on Seattle and its suburbs quite rapidly this year.  Crime is increasing, the homeless are literally taking over the sidewalks in downtown Seattle, and businesses are leaving due to the onerous Covid diktats of the Dictator in Olympia and his henchmen the Health Nazis.  Headline stories today: Seattle sidewalks overrun by …

[Better late than never] Last Saturday’s Wall Street Journal had the biggest bunch of crap I have ever seen in one issue.

Last week's Weekend Edition of the Wall Street Journal had a number of articles that I just could not believe.  See if you don't agree that they all add up a big pile of excrement. Starting in the Review section, the cover story was about "The Once and Future Drug War", by James Marson, Julie …

Put yourself in Donald Trump’s shoes. Might you feel a bit angry?

Back in 2020, Rush Limbaugh stated that "We don't go after our former Presidents".  He elaborated, describing those presidents who had all sorts of problems while in office, offending various and sundry political opponents.  President Richard Nixon resigned from office, rather than face impeachment for the Watergate fiasco.  After he left office, no one pursued …

Covid Insanity. This is turning into Murder of Innocent Citizens by the State.

And no, I am not exaggerating.  Not one little bit.  There are two stories in the news today that literally make me sick to my stomach, and so angry I could ...  I don't know what.  Commit violence?  Maybe.

These Virginia “educators” aren’t teachers, they are Tyrants

In one of his first acts as the new governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order giving Parents control over whether their children are required to wear a dehumanizing mask in school.  School teachers (drunk with the power of their union) couldn't have that.  In private messages, many teachers have issued various threats …

A note to the bumbling incompetent “doctor” who runs the CDC: It’s NOT the messaging!

To Rochelle Walensky, who thinks the reason she's so ignored is that the messaging from her agency is not consistent: It's not the messaging, lady, it's the MESSAGE.  I read in a Wall Street Journal article today that Walensky is being "coached by a media consultant"!!!  I laughed out loud when I read that.  Especially …

I reject the Metaverse

Communist China’s Central Planners Stumped?

The most salient characteristic of communism is the government ownership and control of the means of production.  This signifies that private ownership of businesses is rare, or absent entirely.  And the economy is not the only feature of a society that communist governments seek to control.  The press, education, religion (if it is allowed at …
