  • Infinitely insane

    Random pointless thought while listening to discussion of the Repooflican “debate” tonight. When trying to fill an important job, you want to attract a large set of seekers with solid and relevant experience. On the R side the active candidates include 5 former or current governors and 1 current congresscritter, all successful vote-getters, all generally…

  • India gets shit done.

    While we’re arguing about Trans Babies and gearing up for an utterly meaningless foodfight between two identical zombie demons, India is quietly getting shit done. Today they landed on the moon.

  • Deer

    Saw a couple of deer on this morning’s long walk. The last time I saw them was 2018. I’ll take this as a sign that the universe is trying to return to normal after three years of NAZI TORTURE.

  • Zenith set released

    I’m done with the expanded Zenith topic. Here’s the set at ShareCG as usual. ShareCG wouldn’t let me upload the set titled as ‘Zenith expanded’. I finally figured out that their algorithm is tuned to reject small variations. I changed the title to ‘Wincharger’ and it uploaded properly. = = = = = List of…

  • When Sailer writes what he knows

    Sailer writes best when he writes about California. He lives there and PAYS ATTENTION to both current events and local history. He doesn’t blow up verb aspect by conflating permanent with temporary or vice versa. = = = = = START SAILER: In Los Angeles, Hurricane Hilary, the first since 1939, has been a summer…

  • Even more Wallace

    Last month I transcribed a long passage from Henry Wallace’s 1948 speech on inflation. It’s time to add a second section. Wallace saw the development of PERMANENT CRISIS as the guarantee of permanent monopoly by the Men Of Monopoly. Again, here’s the speech itself in mp3 form. = = = = = START WALLACE first…

  • Incongruous?

    From a 1966 Record World: Sitarist Sri Harihar Rao was signed as a featured artist by Peer-Southern Music. A wailing song and a good sitar, the only things that I understand, Krishna Krishna, the only things that I understand. Well, maybe it’s congruous after all. Indian music is country music, and much of it is…

  • Both sides play the game

    Reprint from a few months ago. = = = = = START REPRINT: Now we have more “Chinese” UFOs. After I obediently gave Deepstate the snap reaction it wanted, I turned up my input filters and baseline sensors. This is clearly a rather low-quality fake THREAT, and the repeat is designed to create a new…

  • RAIN!

    This rain is especially welcome since it frustrates the ARSONISTS who have been starting hugely destructive fires around here. Not all the fires are arson, but at least three arsonists have been seen, and two have been arrested. Of course the Sorosian monster prosecutor releases all criminals instantly, but at least the cops will know…

  • Makes no sense at all.

    Bari Weiss interviews Will Hurd, who call himself a “moderate Republican”. Since I’ve been mentioning previous interviews in this series, I should continue. In the first place he’s CIA. That’s all. End of story. = = = = = Still, I gritted my teeth and got past his proud “service” to the Enemy Of The…

  • Another pointless “what missed”

    Partisans are always writing columns about “what the Dems missed” or “what the Repoofs missed”. If only we had done X instead of Y, we would have won election Z. If onlys are utterly meaningless, but here’s a fresh one. Trump knows how to run a cult. Putting it another way, he knows pro wrestling.…
