*An interesting Social Media thread. Cat people leave X

My readers will know that I am an avid X/Twitter denizen (joined in 2022, have over 8700 followers). The past week has seen dramatic upheavals over there, following the assassination of conservative leading light Charlie Kirk. Both sides of the political spectrum have published their reactions to that brutal murder; the Left is celebrating, and …

The children of an active-duty Army officer in the video below demonstrate the values of their parents. The video is claiming lots of attention, for good reason. Parents indoctrination of their children to wish for the deaths of the President, the Vice President, and a wealthy businessman who supports them. Parents turning their daughters into …

This is what Revolution looks like

Yesterday, the Communist government of Nepal, a small country in the Himalayas, was overthrown. By hordes of young people. https://twitter.com/daveatherton20/status/1965689066059395419?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ What does this tell us? It reminds us all that, in relation to tyrannical governments, there are always more of the oppressed People than there are of the government, including their armies. Given sufficient motivation, …

Sexual Education in Washington State

In the title above, I did mean to use the word “sexual”. The mandatory elementary school curriculum in our state introduces sexuality in kindergarten. Gender ideology is a major part of the curriculum from the moment your five-year-old walks into public school for the first time. Alarmed citizens are documenting this for all of us. …

My own weight-loss program has been going fine since February. I have lost over 25 pounds, and I can get into clothes that I grew out of years ago. It feels great! And my secret is eliminating a lot of sugar from my diet. However, I found a post on X today that made me …

China turning into a Potemkin Country?

I came across this story in the Epoch Times about a mostly-unknown crisis in Communist China. Their population is rapidly aging, and since the huge re-estate collapse their "social insurance" program is in big trouble. Due to the disastrous one-child policy, which led to female infanticide as well as a shrinking overall population, there is …

This is Western Civilization

Since it’s been around 2,000 years, which is a long time, let’s take a look at more of the products of the culture of the West. https://twitter.com/atticuuuss/status/1961478343720669255?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ One of the greatest artists who ever lived https://twitter.com/biancodavinci/status/1961495811361022223?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Cathedrals could take hundreds of years to build https://twitter.com/biancodavinci/status/1961536838126252217?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Art Nouveau often features natural forms https://twitter.com/nouveaudeco/status/1960265275384750376?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Whoa! https://twitter.com/leodavinciwave/status/1961055798244815052?s=12 That’s …

The waning days of Summer

This is the final week of summer vacation for Washington schools. School normally resumes on the Wednesday after Labor Day. I took a stroll by Silver Lake, and here are some observations. On a very warm Tuesday, the lake is usually packed with kids swimming, kayaks and paddle boards with people standing and paddling around …

For my readers who still get their news from the legacy media. See what you are missing.

I have often spoken of the press climate around the world. How entire big stories are ignored or actively suppressed by the legacy media (ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, AP, CNN, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post). Entire story lines hit, are only posted on social media and online by "new media", then …
