The entire circle-the-wagons effort to save Joe Biden from a political witch-hunt that nobody else is allowed to escape demonstrates rather plainly that It’s All Politics.

Even Vox admits it: Midwest is best.

You will notice that this and all other ‘moved from nowhere to the Big City’ stories deal with people who are ‘creative’, i.e. writers, musicians, actors, and other ‘artists’. Nobody ever grew up in Wide Spot, Nebraska, and said ‘I think I’ll move to Noo Yawk to pursue my dream of being a welder/carpenter/plumber/machinist/electrician’. In this particular case, what the  author loves, and what reconciles her to the move, is that she managed to find the essential components of her Left Coast rom-com lifestyle in, wonder of wonders, flyover country. She undoubtedly considers the term ‘vibrant’ to be a good thing.

The problem with such ‘creatives’ is that what they create doesn’t last — it’s not something you can hold in your hand, sell at a garage sale, or hand on to your grandkids. Except for the needle-point few who become rich/famous, it’s all ephemeral. I guarantee that in 100 years nobody will have any knowledge of what she has done — especially if, as seems likely, she leaves no children behind her. She is a Crustian from Crustian roots (father: college administrator) and such people do not leave footprints in the sands of time. Once she is gone, nobody will ever miss her, nor will any memory of her remain; and that’s a sad thing.

or us actual conservatives, one of the most tiresome aspects of our struggle to retake our country is our never-ending struggle to get the Fredocons who still populate our movement to take our own side in this fight. Exhibit A is the “Conservative Case For XXXX” phenomenon, in which XXXX inevitably equals some liberal goal, objective or obsession. We’re supposed to nod our heads and give in to the progs because, you know, it’s actually conservative somehow.

Yeah, you never see articles titled ‘The Progressive Case for [insert conservative value here]’.

The latest example is the article “A Conservative Case for Puerto Rican Statehood” that recently ran in National Review for reasons that remain elusive even after reading it.’

ZMan has a lot of fun with the cucks who run supposedly ‘conservative’ publications but who somehow always wind up supporting progressive ideas and programs.

Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg published an Op-Ed in the Washington Post over the weekend calling for greater government Internet regulation. Notably absent was any mention of breaking up the company. His implicit message: “one Facebook would be easier to control than lots of smaller competitors”. Fair enough, but we also wonder what Facebook has up its product development sleeve that allows it to so vocally call for increased regulation and the costs that will inevitably entail.

God save us from an Internet regulated according to the ideas of Mark Zuckerberg.

Ever since the sixties, these twits inflict themselves on public gatherings. Nominally about ‘raising consciousness’, to the extent that it has any effect on public opinion the effect is negative; people who agree with them get a warm fuzzy, and the people whom they are theoretically trying to win over are merely confirmed in their initial impression that these are rude children. But it’s mostly about people who have no chance of any serious impact doing something symbolic that will make them feel good about themselves – ‘virtue signaling’ is the most polite term for it. The whole basis for the activity is the firm conviction ‘We can do what we want to you, but you can’t do shit to us’. The viewpoint of children.

In totalitarian societies, of course, such people disappear into large vans and spend the rest of their days in Labor Camps of Strict Regime. There’s a lot to be said for it.

We think of fat as bad—the less of it we eat, and the less of it we carry on our bodies, the better—but this isn’t the right way to think about it. Fat is not just for insulation and energy storage, it’s also for nutrient absorption, cell signaling, immune function and many other critical processes.

The group has publicly celebrated its work. But in fact, the Red Cross has repeatedly failed on the ground in Haiti. Confidential memos, emails from worried top officers, and accounts of a dozen frustrated and disappointed insiders show the charity has broken promises, squandered donations, and made dubious claims of success.

For almost two decades, Ted Gordon has been leading tours of UT Austin that show how racism, patriarchy, and politics are baked into the landscape and architecture of the campus. This month, that tour goes live online. In honor of the launch of the new website, “The Racial Geography Tour,” we are featuring an interview Joan Neuberger conducted with Prof. Gordon last week.

UT Austin is the metastasizing core of the Blue tumor of Travis County in Texas. If there’s any place in Texas where racism, patriarchy, and ‘politics’ have been expunged, it’s UT Austin — and yet people like Gordon attempt to prop up the decaying corpse of the past because otherwise their Change Compulsion would wither and die.

The central paradox of Progressive politics is the fact that, even as they cling to the certainty that Progress Is Inevitable, they have to believe that Progress Hasn’t Arrived Yet AndWe’re Still Stuck In The Bad Old Days.

California, in a typical feat of “virtue signaling,” has committed the state to getting half of its electrical power from renewables such as wind and solar, up from 16 percent today, within the next decade. This drive has meant the rapid abandonment of electricity generated by nuclear power as well as natural, gas which together comprised nearly 70 percent of all electricity production in 2015.

This may not end well. California Public Utilities Commission President Michael Picker suggested recently that we could soon return “the kind of crisis we faced in 2000 and 2001.” The rapid abandonment of existing reliable energy sources makes the state, in the estimate of the Institute for Energy Research, “vulnerable to rolling blackouts.”

Plenty of room in Texas.

Plenty of power, too.

Steve Sailer reads this stuff so you don’t have to.

Passive voice: “The case was dropped.”

It’s actually rather interesting who dropped the case, since, among other things, the State’s Attorney Kim Foxx is a protege of Toni Preckwinkle, one of the two candidates for Mayor of Chicago (a rather important office) running in the election tomorrow.

Also, Ms. Foxx identifies as a protege of Presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris.

And one fixer who intervened with Ms. Foxx in the case, Tina Tchen, is associated with both the Obamas and the SPLC

In an op-ed in the Washington Post, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg called on governments to increase regulation of internet speech. It is easy to understand why Zuckerberg wants governments to tell Facebook what to do. Following regulations will insulate Facebook against liability, and the free speech controversies of recent years have been an unwelcome distraction from Facebook’s remarkably successful business model.

God save us from an Internet run according to the ideas of Mark Zuckerberg.
