The World to Come…

Image
  The world is imploding and I can’t sleep anymore. The United States has held everything together for over a century now. After multiple cynical attempts the worst of human nature has finally prevailed here. What nobody wants to see is that all of the institutions that provided our cultural foundation have been devastated to the point where they are probably beyond repair. The Christian Church is effectively dead, having prostituted itself to supposedly liberal but essentially atheistic “reforms” that eliminate personal responsibility in every aspect of life. This corrosion has canceled the meaning of law, the purpose of education, the aspirations of the republic designed by our founding fathers, the integrity of the economic system which did so much for so long to raise the national standard of living, the professions of science and medicine descended into a realm of hoaxes and raw political power grabs, the character and ability of the military charged with defending the nation fade

Who are the frightening ones here?

The loudest ones are also the ones who are justifying and explaining away (or just plain ignoring the newest riots across the nation from Portland to Brooklyn. Witness the latest sermon from CNN. So there’s this lovely bit of reportage at Breitbart called “ There’s Nothing More Frightening than White Men .” FTA:  Putting it as the lead on the front page [of CNN Online] with a photo of the acquitted Rittenhouse, the op-ed essentially lumped the 18-year-old in with men like Jacob Chansley, a.k.a the “QAnon shaman,” and the white supremacists who participated in the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville… “This angry White man has been a major character throughout US history,” Blake lamented. “He gave the country slavery, the slaughter of Native Americans, and Jim Crow laws. His anger also helped fuel the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol.” “It’s this angry White man — not the Black or brown man you see approaching on the street at night — who poses the most dangerous threat to de

White Privilege Redux

  It’s not her. But it could have been her.  Maybe I said at FB above, or not, but I’ll say it here anyway. The first book I wrote on this subject, called White Privilege , was about black and white, Moor, Puerto-Rican, Native American, and us just plain white folks. We got along. Only I forgot something incredibly important. My bad. Truthfully, I have no excuse. So how did this happen? I knew him this way. Mercersburg, Princeton, Hine parties. I stood closer to him than I ever did to Hiney himself, and I have never seen a better dressed man, including my father, which is saying something. He had no reason to, but he knew my name. “Robert,” he said. “You went to Mercersburg too.” And I never made the connection.  I was spending a summer of legal internship, courtesy of Harvard lawyer Santo Salvo, researching property prices in 1913, the year the income tax was passed. He was part of the family conspiracy to send me to law school, and he had the way greased to a school I would never ha

Wisconsin Governor Prepares to Get Tough

Image
Reacting in outrage to the confirmed CNNT scoop that “The Rittenhouse jury is just killing time with White Supremacy games before vigilante-ing a whole nation with an acquittal for the teen monster who killed my best friend Joe,” Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers said. His proof? The proof of White Supremacist jury corruption. The actual  note found by a CNNT correspondent in the hand of a court  bailiff sending a message to the trial’s Jew Judge Schroeder. In response, Evers has announced the immediate deployment of his own National Guards from their University of Wisconsin, Madison, HQ to protect the anticipated BLM/Antifa protest demonstrations after the corrupted, treasonous, racist verdict (or mistrial) is announced. “They’re ready for anything,” OberGouverneur Evers promised. Pretty cool, right? Funny how the morning after a riot doesn’t quite look like the storming of the Bastille in 1789 Paris. Lots of blood and fire in both instances. Why did I say it was funny? Because the day af

Max Verschtappel Needs a New Nickname

Image
The Blue Max is a medal for 25 enemy kills. A kind of Iron Cross of the air. The movie’s protagonist is Bruno Schtapel, a ruthlessly ambitious fighter pilot with a chip on his shoulder. He will stop at nothing to win the coveted Blue Max and competes head to head with Germany’s top fighter ace for the acclaim he knows he deserves. He’s good looking, a great pilot, and a total bastard. The movie is spectacular in appearance, featuring a young George Peppard, Ursula Andress, film legend James Mason, and great aerial cinematography. The following B&W promo clip was put together for a television broadcast of The Blue Max some years after its theatrical release. It’s a good summary of the arc of the movie. The promo is a good indicator of Schtapel’s character, although it leaves out the climactic scene in which he bullies a spent Allied pilot past the German lines, seemingly to take him prisoner, but in reality setting him up for a fatal shootdown over the German airfield. Making a poi

How far we’ve fallen

Yeah, it really happened, and it’s really here on YouTube, the outfit that bans criticism of jihadists and any political events and views that aren’t Woke. Is this Woke enough? VIA BREITBART:  Brass Against, a rock band who covers famous rock songs with horn arrangements, has expressed regret after its lead singer urinated on an audience member’s face during a concert Thursday. Sophia Urista, the lead singer for the eight-member band, told the crowd “I gotta pee” during the group’s set at the “Welcome to Rockville” music festival in Daytona Beach, Florida. In the middle of a cover of Rage Against the Machine’s “Wake Up” (the song played over the end credits of the original  Matrix  film), she continued, “I can’t make it to the bathroom. So we might as well make a show out of it.” Urista called a middle-aged man with a beer can stuck to his forehead to climb onstage. “I’mma piss in this motherfucker’s mouth,” she told the audience. And as promised, she made the concertgoer lie flat on s
