THE BIGGER GOVERNMENT GETS THE MORE INEFFICIENT AT ANYTHING EXCEPT HURTING PEOPLE, TAKING THEIR STUFF, AND KILLING THEM:  Wrapping Cracks in Red Tape.

OPEN THREAD: Enjoy each other’s company.

REFUGES FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL WOKERY: An Atmosphere of Joy. Dale Ahlquist is the most effective education reformer you’ve never heard of. His network of  Catholic high schools, the Chesterton Schools Network, will open its 69th school next fall, offering students affordable access to a rigorous classical curriculum.

JOHN RINGO ON COUSIN MARRIAGE:

My ex wife worked for a while as a foster care worker which means she was a CPS investigator. She told the story of how ‘CPS had broken the Appalachian incest culture’ by ‘taking endangered children out of homes.’

It was known for decades that the Appalachian culture was inbreeding because of all the birth defects that were in the culture that turned out to be… bad nutrition. (Which was why, BTW, the DOD introduced the School Lunch Program back in the late 1940s. To cut down the rate of 4F from childhood nutrition deficiencies.)

Now, with DNA, we can peer into the past of the Appalachian culture and show that those toothless (from poor nutrition) rednecks were…

Not actually sleeping with their daughters. The DNA shows no higher rate of actual incest in traditional Appalachian culture than in the general background of the US.

I won’t mention where the highest is found. Take a guess.

We have hundreds of years of false mythology about what certain cultures are ‘like.’ Things that we know are the way and the truth and the light.

And how many of them are so much bullshit?

CPS broke a lot of homes, though, and got to feel better about themselves.

STEPHEN KRUISER HAS IT RIGHT:

I’ve been saying something for years that is especially true for the 2024 election: you’re voting for a president, not a prom date. This isn’t a long-running episode of “The Bachelor” that’s supposed to end with a love story.

A vote for Joe Biden or whichever commie ends up on the ballot in November is a vote for the imminent demise of the United States. That’s not hyperbole. This country is reeling from just three years of the Joe Biden fiasco, and he hasn’t even had much of a Congress to work with. The cabal running his brain is a wrecking ball. The United States as we know it will not survive until 2028 with the Democrats in control of the White House. It may still be called the United States of America, but it’s not going to be the same country.

There is no “principled” reason for any Republican to vote for anyone other than Trump or any other Republican who might replace him should the Democrats’ pre-election rigging work. Sitting this election out because of delicate feelings or a misbegotten sense of honor would be unconscionable.

Exactly.
