WE WILL FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING WE HAVE:  Reclaiming Art as a Force for Liberty.

I’m very afraid winning the culture war won’t be enough, or fast enough. And yet, we must win the culture war also, or there is no future.

WE’D ALL LOVE TO HAVE PLACES WHERE POLITICS DON’T ENTER:  Who Gets Your Attention?

I tried. No, I really did. For years, and years, and years. But in the fields and places the left has invaded, you’re not allowed to ignore politics. You either proclaim allegiance loudly or you’re punished. Destroyed if they can manage it.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll repeat it: in a saner time, I’d be writing my stories, and people would be trying to figure out my politics, but unable to. And I’d never have talked about it. This is not a sane time. Oh, dear me, no. We’re very far from sane times. And perhaps it’s our very great honor to get to stand up for liberty and individualism. Even if we fail.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

NO ONE WAS SAYING WHAT I SAW, EXCEPT TOM, SO I TOLD HIM TO WRITE IT:  Schrodinger’s McAfee.

Otherwise I’d have to.

SAME OLD COMMIES, EVER:  Elite Attempting To Peddle Poverty As New Way Of Life.

The future is always better! Our chocolate ration will be raised from 50 grams to 40 grams. And the “elites” need their dachas. They work so hard for you, you ungrateful swine.

WELL, I’M CERTAINLY NOT SURPRISED: Electoral ducking and covering… why am I not surprised?

A) I watched the polls in 2012, and either the cheating was next level or about a third of my neighbors had amnesia about having voted early or by mail.

B) Having seized control of Colorado’s electoral bodies and offices, the democrats then proceeded to make us all “vote by mail.” Supposedly to save money, of course, but really, once you go vote by mail, you never leave the left. After that, regardless of what crazy things they did, they just got bigger majorities. Must be magic, right? They even elected that vaguely humanoid brainless twit, Jared Polis.

Screaming they won’t allow themselves to be audited because they’re the safest evah is just the confession.

To make this clear for those born stupid: Honest people whose honesty is cast into question don’t stomp their hooves and scream you’re a meany and a danger to the republic for casting doubt on the elections.  The doubt is already there. What you do is offer to have a third party or even your opponents audit, because you have nothing to hide.  Running around calling those who question you insurgents and traitors is an admission of guilty.

As a passing point of amusement, though I can’t find the site, I also have read that Georgia says their elections are the safest. I suggest their governors wrestle for the prize (of dirtiest, most shameless, utterly debased liars.)

 

WHEN YOU CAN’T KEEP ADVANCE STAFFERS: Monica Showalter looks at Vice-President Kamala Harris’ constant challenge to find staffers who will stay around and take the temper tantrums. This is an especially serious problem when it’s your director of advance and deputy director of advance who head for the exits just as your travel schedule gets hectic.

OPEN THREAD: It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses. Thread it.

J.D. VANCE IS RIGHT:

Related: Glenn Greenwald: What is Behind Gen. Mark Milley’s Righteous Race Sermon? Look to the New Domestic War on Terror. “The overarching ideology of Pentagon officials is larger military budgets and ongoing permanent war posture. Their new war target, explicitly, is domestic ‘white rage.’ . . . In other words, to justify the current domestic War on Terror that has already provoked billions more in military spending and intensified domestic surveillance, the Pentagon must ratify the narrative that those they are fighting in order to defend the homeland are white supremacist domestic terrorists. . . . The Pentagon’s prime targets, by their own statements, are sectors of the U.S. population that they regard as major threats to the national security of the United States.”

The goal is to tag all political opposition as racist terrorism. I’ll also note that this sort of stance — dividing the U.S. military from its traditional base of civilian support — is just what the Chinese would want in order to weaken it before a war.

AN OPEN LETTER TO DELTA: #YouJustAbusedMyFamily. Arresting a man for “human trafficking” because his 20 year old autistic daughter wouldn’t answer questions from a flight attendant.

“An anxious 20 year old girl. Accompanied by a Hispanic male, old enough to be her father. He must be a Human Trafficker.”

Or, you know, her father.
