THE INFLATION NARRATIVE:

SCIENCE: “There’s an understandable effort to assure parents that their children are not being damaged by masks, but in amongst the reassurance, I’m reading: ‘Research has shown babies who pay attention to people’s mouths as they talk have better language skills when they’re older. Plus, we know babies learn by modeling their caregivers’ behaviors, such as smiling, laughing and talking. . .'”

EDITED BY D. JASON FLEMING:   3 Men of the West (Annotated): A pulp western omnibus of: Riddle Gawne, Beau Rand, and West!  #CommissionEarned

(It’s a great that he’s bringing these classics back into print.)

 
iktaPOP Media brings you an omnibus of three classic westerns by Charles Alden Seltzer, featuring Seltzer’s characteristic western heroes, each with his own unique nickname.

Riddle Gawne

Jefferson Gawne has a low opinion of people, and an even lower one of women. After his brother was murdered by Watt Hyat, in complicity with his brother’s wife, Gawne followed Hyat’s trail across the west.

But the trail went cold, and Gawne, nicknamed Riddle behind his back, found himself the guardian of an orphan girl, and the only man in the territory who dares stand up to Hame Bozzam, founder of the dirty and lawless Bozzam City. Bozzam is too smart to challenge Gawne directly, and Gawne is too honorable to act against Bozzam without cause.

So an uneasy truce has held between the two men. A truce that is about to be broken, with the arrival of the beautiful Miss Kathleen Harkless. Every man wants her, and the men of Bozzam City don’t particularly care if she wants them back.

Beau Rand

Amos Seddon has a secret and Beau Rand knows it.

When someone starts rustling cattle, it doesn’t take long for the whispers against Rand to start. To save himself and his young son, Rand has to prove his innocence and find the real rustlers.

West!

Josephine Hamilton’s first impression of the west was stopping the hanging of a supposed horse thief. From that moment, she decided that the west needed her principles imposed upon it.

And the man who personified that west, and most needed dominating, was Steel Brannon, a man who was merely amused that she stopped him from giving justice to a horse thief. And intrigued by a woman so willful, and so misguided.

IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT THE ATTACKS ARE CONTRADICTORY, IT ONLY MATTERS THAT LEFTIES ARE DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THEM: “Conservatives are currently under attack on two contradictory grounds: 1) they are pro-Vladimir Putin, and 2) they are warmongers trying to embroil the U.S. in a war against Putin.”

OR AT THE VERY LEAST NOT BAD ONES:  Russia Today Shut Down Is Beautiful News.

FOR THE TIMES, THEY ARE ACHANGING:  NYT Tiptoes Toward Energy Reality (“this debate is changing”).

PURR:  “Goodyear Awards Illinois Truck Driver Its Highway Hero Honor.”

ALL OF THEM ARE:  John Kerry: Putin’s Useful Climate Idiot.

Won’t some wealthy woman give this Gigolo something less destructive to do with his time?

CASTREAU DIDN’T GO AWAY:   Trudeau And Freudian Slippage.

And you know, don’t you, that they’re executing the Trucker’s pets, away from the World’s eyes?

THAT NUMBER ONE IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE HAS BEEN OBVIOUS TO ME:   Roundup time.

YOU DON’T NEED A SPACEMAN TO STATE THE OBVIOUS:  Elon Musk Says We Need Oil And Gas Production.

Thank you, sir. We need nuclear too. Now go back to getting us off this planet, okay?

I DO THINK TRUMP WAS WRONG WHEN HE CALLED THE PRESS THE ENEMIES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:   “If he were killing a mouse, he would know how to make it seem like a dragon.”

The Main Stream Media is in fact an enemy of the West, or possibly all civilization. Being a journalist who thinks his job is to “Afflict the comfortable” or carry water for the Marxist narrative with no regard for the truth should carry the penalty of being dumped naked in the Australian outback, to enjoy what they’re trying to gull people along into creating all over the world.

For a first offense, that is. After that, we get serious.

AND RIGHT AGAIN:  Samizdata quote of the day.

HE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW?  Trump Derangement Syndrome is writing a job description for Trump and not knowing it.

But Trump is not insane. He just won’t play along with clownworld.

NOT MYTHICAL, AND REALLY, REALLY, REALLY P*SSED:  Join the Cavalry!

OH MY DEAR AND FLUFFY LORD. I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH BOURBON IN STOCK FOR THIS!   Is She Running? Clinton Global Initiative To Reconvene In September, Just Ahead Of Midterms.

PARTICULARLY HAD NO EVIDENCE:  Manhattan DA’s Case Against Trump Fell Apart Because It Was Rushed, Lacked Evidence.

THEY TRULY AREN’T ADJUSTING WELL TO THE CURTAIN BEING PULLED BACK:  NY Times Caught Using Well-Known Deceptively Edited Portion of George Zimmerman 911 Call.

Who will tell them they’re not the great and powerful Oz? And can anyone make them listen?

MORE ON THIS WEEK’S TENURED LOON–ZEUS LEONARDO: I get the fact that both progressives and conservatives have their nut cases. I get that the Age of the Internet makes it possible for nut cases to be more visible than they were in the Age of Broadcasting. That’s the price we pay for the open discourse the internet allows for. What annoys me is that so many of their nut cases get tenured professorships at prestigious universities, and I have to pay taxes to support them.
