My World and Welcome to It

Image
     This post was last updated at 5:30 A.M., Monday, August 11. Latest entries are “A New Breed of Chosen People?” and “An Old Forgotten Story Back in the News.” The Instapunk Times is hot off the presses... Undernet Black was updated August 11. This will be a pinned post in perpetuity, but it will be updated continuously, just like all of our lives. The title — “My World and Welcome to It” — is stolen happily from James Thurber, who is known as a humorist, unabashedly untrained cartoonist, and dog lover. He was also subject to melancholy, a drinker of note, and something of an outsider (in his own damaged eyes at least) as an Ohioan, born and educated, who became a fixture in the glamorous Algonquin Roundtable of Manhattan writers and playwrights. I can relate to all of that but the fame and the lifelong journey to blindness. I believe he was likely the best writer of the gang that gathered in the Algonquin Hotel in the 1930s, and I made my own pilgrimage there once in ...

An Old Forgotten Story Back in the News

Image
  Here’s the “official” story as it has stood for a quarter century. This will be an unusual post. It contains my longest ever direct quote of another source, which happens to be the longest ever post I have seen at the Gateway Pundit website. Ordinarily this is a kind of topic I would have handled fairly briefly at Facebook, but the relevant text by Gateway and by me is too substantial for that. I tried doing it that way before choosing this site instead. Here’s the graphic I prepared for the FB post: After I’d  prepared the graphic, things started to get complicated. There was just too much relevant content for a Facebook post. I have a personal connection to the Oklahoma City bombing story you probably have to be 50 to share. I remember exactly where I was when it broke into the regular cable programming one April morning in 1995 with a Special Announcement of an unfolding catastrophe in the state where my sister lived. My TV, large screen for the time and equipped with sur...

The Best Movie of the 21st Century?

Image
The IMDb List A month or so ago I heard an episode of the Cluck and Buck Radio Show (i.e., Clay Travis/Buck Sexton) discussing the lists of best 21st Century movies that have been popping up now that we’ve got a quarter of the new century under our belts. They weren’t happy with the names they were hearing. After a lot of what passes for manly banter between them they settled on The Dark Knight Rises as their pick for Number 1. It’s a better choice, I agree, than most of the titles on the list above, but the whole process of selection here seems sad. Even pitiful. I’ve seen exactly eight of the 21 movies shown here, and the only one I’d consider a candidate for the top spot is Lord of the Rings . I liked Lost in Translation’ s   inclusion   on the list as well. That’s about it. Most of it seems like pretentious junk, overhyped sequels, and predictably dark excursions into some director’s disappointments with the universe. Not what I watch movies for.  I very much do...

Where We Stand 6 Months into Trump 2.0

Image
  “Yes, you. The rabbit at the back of the room. Stand up.” There will be a lot of talk by the experts now that the first half year is in the bank. The Honeymoon is over, so to speak. The bride has returned from her lavish world tour and is now spilling the secrets to her girlfriends. Was it all perfect? No. She won’t be discussing the great sex in detail because they were sleeping together before the wedding anyway, and now she can’t help confiding to her intimates some of the real life annoyances that always crop up when you’re sharing close quarters in foreign surroundings. Her confidence that the things about him she thought she could change or improve has been shaken. In little ways, he is still living his own life, no matter how solicitous he seems. He is always busy but he is not always with her. He stares alone out the window in the middle of the night. Sometimes he seems to be looking past her, even when they’re touching. She had particularly wanted to see a,particular mus...

A quick flash of Klieg lights from the subconscious

Image
  Saw a short but evocative post from Michael Smith on Facebook yesterday that struck an immediate chord with me:   It struck chords with a lot of people in fact. We’d already been through this once with all the guiltiest talking heads in the media interviewing all the accomplices in the political class about how the fact of Joe Biden’s serious dementia could have been covered up so thoroughly. Nauseating to watch. Now we have a similar but not quite identical phenomenon of the complicit talking heads in the huge set of hoaxes designed to destroy the Trump presidency inviting some of of the prime perpetrators on to deny the truth of Tulsi Gabbard’s charges with a straight face. Nodding all around as more lies are piled on top of the mountain of old lies. Does no one realize they are, if possible, making matters worse for themselves when the investigators bring their charges? Reading Smith’s post and the comments appended to it made me think of a movie I had seen as a kid. It w...

My Ghost Prevention Plan

Image
  The Valley of the Jerseyikes When you’ve decided to your own satisfaction that life doesn’t end with physical death, what have you got to worry about? That probably depends on where you come down on the age-old questions about ghosts. Do they exist? Are they a possible fate of troubled souls after they’ve shuffled off this mortal coil or been yanked out of it too suddenly? What if you expire peacefully and find yourself waking up in the attic of your own house, somehow tethered to it with no watch you can trust to keep track of time? I know I’ve stopped wearing a watch at all, like almost all of you out there. Are we taking some kind of risk that we’ll miss the departure signal for the trip to the other side? One side effect of getting old and not liking most of what’s on teevee is that you wind up watching too many paranormal shows, which have the virtue of no politics, no gratuitous sex scenes, and extended stretches of restful watching with almost nothing happening on screen. ...

REPOST: Take a Look at Who’s Behind the Destruction of America

Image
More than 300,000 of you have visited here. How much have you read? I don’t know. I do know there are more than 650 posts at IPR, averaging better than 1,500 words a post when you factor in the long and longer ones. There is also contained herein an outreach to voluminous other materials in other of my sites over 20+ years time. That’s why I do an occasional Repost to highlight older material that is currently as relevant as it’s ever been in the present context. There’s a precursor to this post, also a hearkening back, that may make a good reminder of my qualifications to comment on Barack Obama. It’s called “ Only the Willfully Blind Never Saw It… ” and worth rereading in its own right. This one is full of content that can be browsed, dipped into, returned to, and used as a ready reference source as new related events transpire. I’m not insisting anyone readmit, just offering it because we have now reached the point at which a former President of the United States is almost certainly...

GoFundPence 2.0

Image
  Make America Moral Again (Rockies caps are available super-cheap about now..) Epstein is the trigger. Mike Pence is the man to pull it. Time is of the essence here. Opportunities like this must be seized quickly or they go away just as quickly. The good news is I did some work on this back in the ‘24 Campaign, but there just wasn’t enough time to pull things together. Now I’m prepared to pass on the concepts and deliverables I developed before, spiff them up a bit for the new situation, and let all the brave new reformers use them to change the tide for the better. Yes, I’m talking about giving all you sudden moral stickler MAGA dropouts a head start on the ‘28 Campaign, which, believe me, the pollsters are already making serious money on. Still don’t get it? I’m giving you the basics for Mike Pence for President 2.0. I had already collected materials and some copy notes for a Kindle book called, simply enough, Pence for President. Here’s the cover I designed at the time. The co...

Take a look at who’s behind the destruction of America…

  What’s really waiting in their Trojan Horse’s belly? Never done this before… Direct links to 10+ months of all of the posts at Instapunk.com. I knew who this guy was, said so before anyone, and predicted exactly how dangerous he would become. An occasional poster in these links, alias of Brizoni, assembled a book from these (and many more, through the laughably tragic 2012 campaign) called The Indictment: An Obama Diary. The links in blue are representative only of the nauseating First 100 Days. Read them last unless you’d rather start with a laugh than a tear. The ones to read first are the ones in red, last one first. Each link is a week’s worth of posts. Did this for 10 years all told. This is a true diary. Not everything is about Obama, although there’s usually a point of relevance. It’s authentic because it’s not corrected or gussied up after the fact. It’s not all rants. It’s got plenty of humor and asides, but that’s why it’s a real picture of the time between February 20...
