Total political power over people, some regimes more total than others.
For us hicks from the American provinces whose real education took place a half century back in the bookshops of Berkeley and Greenwich Village, recent news about Manhattan’s legendary Strand Book Store fighting off extinction is both sad and illuminating. The sad part is that bricks-and-mortar bookshops like The Strand and Cody’s (on Berkeley’s...

If one cares to contemplate mankind’s perverse capacity to ruin everything good he has created, World War I is a good place to start. The Great War officially ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, now just a whisker past a century ago, and we are...

The American electorate hath spoken, and an unfortunately large segment of it has chosen again to give socialism one more chance. So the parasite Left will continue to ride on like a blood-engorged tick desperately stuck to the back of its reviled MAGA host, sucking life from the industrious,creative and prosperous. To its own detriment, of course....

America has A CHOICE: GOOD IDEAS that actually benefit people, not theoretically but in actual practice. Record high employment (and record low unemployment)! Strength as a deterrent to our enemies abroad! Making America Great Again, within and without! (Even the NY Times is forced to accept the success of the Trump economy.) ROTTEN IDEAS...

Unpopular? Not winning elections legitimately? Can’t force self-reliant voters to surrender their liberties? More and more, finding yourself out of power? Try The Democrat Way! Sow a little chaos, violence and distraction. “Cause a crowd…” from South Of The Border. If things are really going your way, there will be some gunned-down martyrs… All...

As the Trump train continues steadily down the track and real economic/social progress is made, the obstacles posed by the desperate Left become clearer. The sinister strategy of Identity Politics, divide-and-conquer put forth on steroids by the Obama regime (blessedly derailed by Election, 2016), is showing its limitations. Of late, we have been...

Socialism/communism of the past century-Russia/ Germany/ China/ Cuba/ Venezuela/ N.Korea/ Indochina-has an uninterrupted history of violence, murder, torture, tyranny: something on the order of 100 million+ liquidated souls, a billion+ more enslaved. Why should we be surprised that today’s American Left is any less ruthless and desperate to enforce what freedom-loving people will never...

It’s been a bumpy ride and will continue to be. We are locked in a civil war between those who wish to preserve the Republic and those still gunning to “transform” it into Venezuela, Sweden …or San Francisco. Rough stuff but well worth the agony. The scoundrels of the Left have shown they will...

A boringly predictable rant by a boringly predictable Liberal/Leftist/Progressive touchstone in my social circle has made it all clear: “Let’s be serious here. We’ve got a real problem in this country with men attacking women.” So speaketh one loyal foot soldier/drone in the Left’s War on Boys & Men the day after the Blasey-Ford/Kavanaugh...

Juanita Broadrick: credible allegations of rape by one Bill Clinton and not-so-veiled threats from chief kneecapper Hillary “Bruno” Clinton. Ready and willing to testify under oath. Mary Jo Kopechne: left to suffocate slowly in a submerged car by “The Lion Of The Senate.” Unavailable to testify. Christine Blasey Ford, former posh preppie, now middle-aged...
