‘A Political Report Masquerading as Science’: The Truth About the New Climate Report

29th November 2018

Read it.

Each time an end-of-the-world prophecy is delivered—whether by a self-deluded preacher, a group of politicians, or scientists—we are told that we must believe. Never mind how many of their prophecies have been wrong in the past, this time they mean it.

Yet another product of the Deep State ‘Resistance’ to Trump and sanity.

Is Nationalism Really the Future of Conservatism?

29th November 2018

Read it.

Nationalism is a hot topic right now on the American right. All of the pointy-headed conservatives are penning thoughtful essays on the subject, reflecting on why and how we should love our country. At first glance, this might seem like a strange controversy, since patriotic fervor has always been fairly fashionable among conservatives. It’s a burning issue now, though, because some hope to replace the semi-defunct body of thought that we used to call “conservatism” with an energetic and robust nationalism.

(a) There is no such thing as ‘conservatism’ as the author of this piece uses the term. There is no political platform that everyone who considers himself (or herself) ‘conservative’ agrees on and universally supports, ‘semi-defunct’ or not. So the ‘conservatism’ being discussed is a figment of the author’s imagination.

(b) There has never been anyone arguably described as ‘conservative’ who was not a ‘nationalist’ in some sense. But what sense ‘nationalism’ is a component of ‘conservatism’ is not discussed; the author just talks about ‘nationalism’ as if it were one unitary concept that everybody knows and agrees on.

(c) Nationalism in some form has always been a part of the past of ‘conservatism’, so it’s not difficult to imagine that it will serve some role in its future. But to label it ‘the future of conservatism’ suggests a simple-mindedness concerning which the author ought to feel some embarrassment, and maybe do a reality check with one of the ‘pointy-headed conservatives’ she disparages.

Perhaps it’s related to the reason why so many black people think that the reason they aren’t rich and famous is merely because of white racism.

Slavery was certainly important to the Confederacy but it wasn’t ‘built on’ slavery — except in the minds of the people who see racism under every blade of grass … like the Washington Post.

Time to Quit Twitter?

27th November 2018

John Hinderaker of Powerline answers in the affirmative.

For me, the Twitter turning point came when the company denied that it shadow-bans conservatives. It then explained what it does do, which corresponds precisely to the definition of shadow-banning. Like other Silicon Valley tech giants, Twitter is run by people who think it is their job to help left-wing Democrats win elections. There is no reason why conservatives should support Twitter.

Or anyone else, for that matter. Those of us who avoided Twitter ab initio are now entitled to blow a raspberry and say ‘Ha! Told you so!’, which I now do.

Democrats Highlight Kamala Harris’s Race as Her Removal From the Senate Judiciary Committee Appears Likely

26th November 2018

Liberals are preparing for Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris’s possible expulsion from the Senate Judiciary Committee by highlighting she is a black woman.

Findthe ‘black woman’ in this picture.

For reference, this is an actual black woman;

Message To Black Women about Dating and Relationships BY ...

In the event that Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith wins the Mississippi runoff election on Nov. 27, the makeup of the Senate Judiciary Committee will shift in favor of the GOP, with a seat currently held by a Democrat flipping red. Consequently, Harris, the most junior Democratic member of the committee, will likely be squeezed out.

So it’s an entirely mechanical process and there’s no racism involved. But, of course, the Zoo has to shout ‘RACISM’ because that’s all they’ve got to say.

New Frontiers in “Diversity”

25th November 2018

Scott Johnson points and laughs.

The Star Tribune never tires of creative ways to tout the alleged benefits of the immigrant waves transforming Minnesota. When one looks for an assessment of the costs, or an assessment of whether the costs might outweigh the benefits, one must look elsewhere.

This weekend the Star Tribune touts the coming of “diversity” to the business of craft beer. It reads to me like unintended satire. First we have the obligatory passing of the white man. We have the obligatory obsession with race.

Apparently the paucity of Negro Beer is the fault of white people … like everything else.

Dolce & Gabbana’s Cancelled Chopsticks Advert Shows Us Orientalism Is Finally Being Taken Seriously as a Form of Racism

24th November 2018

Read it.

I’m a racist, you’re a racist, he’s a racist, she’s a racist, wouldn’t you like to be a racist, too….

I’ll bet you don’t know what ‘orientalism’ is. The author doesn’t, either, but it’s an ‘ism’ so it must be bad. Proglodytes love ‘ism’s, because it gives them a heresy to rail about.

Despite what some have claimed, the video is clearly not an homage to Chinese culture – but instead a racist depiction of the white West’s orientalist perception of Chinese culture.

Whenever a journalist says ‘clearly’ it’s a hand-wave regarding something that isn’t clear at all except to people who have the same delusional view of the world as the writer. The advertisement was clearly a humorous reference to how badly certain Western habits, like pizza, don’t match the way non-Western people live, like eating with chopsticks. The writer, of course, is incompetent to make any judgments about ‘the white West’s orientalist perception of Chinese culture’, because that’s just ‘burn the witch!’ fulmination.

Fake History From the Washington Post

23rd November 2018

Read it.

The pragmatism of Kennedy and Kirkpatrick has guided U.S. post World War II foreign policy for 70 years. The only major exceptions were the Carter and Obama years.

Yet the Washington Post, in a hissy fit of an editorial, advances the absurd claim that President Trump, by not scuttling relations with the current Saudi regime over the slaying of one regime opponent, has “undermin[ed] the basic understanding that has worked to the United States’ advantage since World War II under presidents both Republican and Democratic.” Because Trump hasn’t insisted on accountability for those who planned and committed the murder of the Post’s man Jamal Khashoggi, the editors warn that “U.S. standing in the world — and, therefore, U.S. influence and prosperity — will dwindle.”

Re-writing history to fit a political Narrative is a hallmark of the Left, as Orwell pointed out so chillingly in 1984.

The Best Way to Spend Your Money on Black Friday? A Hefty Donation to Striking Amazon Workers

22nd November 2018

Read it.

Notice how the ‘mainstream media’ (a) always take a side in such cases and (b) always take the side of the striking workers, never that of the management. What are the odds that the management is always wrong in every strike? Well, if you’re a proglodyte, it’s 100%.

The dirty little secret about strikes is that any employee who doesn’t like the pay or working conditions is free to quit and go work somewhere else. What a strike says is ‘We don’t like the way you run your business and we are somehow entitled to force you to do it our way instead’. This is derived from the proglodyte notion that everybody is entitled to a job and it is the function of businesses to provide those jobs, ‘good’ jobs, regardless of whether they can actually afford to do so.
