Thoughts on Societies, and on America. Poor peasants.

I am reading Thomas Sowell's book "Wealth, Poverty, and Politics", and his discussion of the many factors that affect what kind of society results from a variety of geographic, demographic, social, and genetic factors interacting. For a long time, I have thought about societies like those in Russia and most European and Asian countries in …

*Guest Author: Hillbilly on Religious Tolerance and Mosques in Your Neighborhood

My X friend who posts as Hillbilly, writes this absolutely hilarious post, on how to respect your new Muslim mosque neighbor. I support a mosque being built anywhere in the US. I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs.To promote tolerance, I would also propose …

About the death of Gloria Steinem, “Feminist Icon”

I knew she was still around, but didn't know how old she was. 92. She was a well-known Radical Feminist, who was among the originators of Ms. Magazine, which I read in college. Along with her cohorts in the radical movement, she advocated women going immediately into the work force, and eschewing marriage and children. …

Horror. Humiliation. Heroic Courage. A Rape-gang Survivor Speaks.

Fiona Goddard is a young British woman who went through an almost unspeakable experience at the hands of Pakistani Rape Gangs in the city of Bradford, North Yorkshire. She was under their control for months, became pregnant, bore a child, and had that child taken away from her by the State. The fact that she …

Historic, Dangerous, Civilization-ending? Advanced country which seeded the world with Civilization now committing conscious suicide

I have looked back in history to find another example of an advanced, world-girdling empire, that ensured its own demise by inviting barbarians to conquer it in real time. I decided that the example of the Roman Empire, which existed for a thousand years and was conquered by barbarians, is not really a good example. …

*No Shame: The descent of modern society into Depravity

https://twitter.com/theonlydsc/status/2033735513153122444?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ When did it start? What was the first inkling that what was previously forbidden behavior, was now going to become not only accepted, but celebrated. What happened that now, if you don't celebrate vulgar, depraved behavior, you are mocked and ridiculed? My guess is this started back in the 1950s and 1960s, with the …

On Trump and Israel’s War with Iran

I admit, I was blindsided by the news early Saturday that the US and Israel had gone to war against the evil Ayatollahs of Iran. I was surprised and pleased to hear that they had eliminated Khamenei early on, and were taking care of other business later. I have mostly agreed with Robert Barnes that …

Guest Author: Cynical Publius on the Naval War College

Today, my online friend Cynical Publius, responded to the post below. https://twitter.com/johnkonrad/status/2014107439323398416?s=20 This is CP's response to that post on the Woke College. IMO, closing the Naval War College (and the other Service and Joint war colleges) it is not the answer. The answer is this: Fire all civilian faculty, other than those required for …
