THE REASON THIS IS NOT WIDELY KNOWN IS THAT BY THE TIME THE WALL FELL, OUR UNIVERSITIES WERE FULL OF DEVOUT COMMUNISTS WHO COULDN’T ADMIT THEY’D DEVOTED THEIR ENTIRE LIVES TO ONE OF THE MOST EVIL IDEOLOGIES TO EVER MAR HISTORY.  SINCE THEN THEY’VE BEEN TRYING TO DECEIVE OTHER PEOPLE TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BETTER:  Socialists and Fascists Have Always Been Kissing Cousins.

Red of Black Fascists, Heinlein called them.

AGAIN, ALL YOU HAVE TO ASK IS: WHEN HAS A LATE-FOUND TROVE OF VOTES GIVEN THE VICTORY TO A REPUBLICAN? WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THEN THIS IS ALL HAPPENSTANCE AND CARELESSNESS?  Arizona GOP Accuses Dem Recorder of Destroying Evidence.

Memo to the dems: You’re playing with fire in a powder arsenal. None of us will enjoy the explosion. And you might find, to your shock, you’ve destroyed the only country on Earth who would tolerate your shenanigans.

HAVE YOU NOTICED THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A LATE-FOUND VOTE-HOARD THAT GIVES VICTORY TO REPUBLICANS?  WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CHANCES ARE? LOOK OUT THE WINDOW, EITHER PIGS ARE FLYING OR IT’S FRAUD.  What’s Happening In Florida and Arizona.

How long will we tolerate this?

THOSE DANG WHITE PEOPLE AND THEIR ABILITY TO COUNT AND… HAVE PROCESSES?  Florida Election Official Implies Asking about Vote Counting Process Is Racist.

SURE, BUT IN ANOTHER TERM OR TWO SHE’LL BE A BILLIONAIRE:  Ocasio-Cortez Butt-Hurt Because of “I Can’t Afford D.C. Rent” Sob Story.  (And I really hate the way people keep misspelling Occasional Cortex.  Get with the program people. Words exist for a reason. Pointing and laughing at “democratic socialists” is as good a reason as any!)

HER CAREER IS OVER BECAUSE OF HER ATTEMPT TO REPLACE HER ELECTORATE WITH ONE MORE CONGENIAL, NOT DESPITE. SO MOTTE IT BE, ALL OVER THE WORLD WITHOUT END.  AT LEAST, IF WE MEAN TO PRESERVE CIVILIZATION: Merkel, Italy, Brazil.

I VOW, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, TO CONTINUE DISAPPOINTING EUROPE.  WHO’S WITH ME? Short.

YES. OF COURSE. THE PROBLEM IS NAMED FEINSTEIN.  OH. WAIT, YOU MEAN BESIDES THAT:  Feinstein Calls For New Gun Regs After Shooting. Just One Problem.

WELL, FOR ME IT IS. NONE OF MY FANS AMBUSH ME AT A MINI-GOLF COURSE TO HAND ME A BRAND NEW GUN.  (AND HAVE I MENTIONED HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM WITH THEM FOR THAT OVERSIGHT?):  Jon Stewart Thinks It’s Harder To Get A Cat Than A Gun.

THE BALLOTS ARE BEING FOUND TO PUT HER OVER THE TOP.  SAME IN FLORIDA.  THEY’RE PLAYING WITH FIRE. IN THE CURRENT CLIMATE, THEY’RE PLAYING WITH FIRE NEAR POWDER BARRELS: I think perhaps Sinema was right: Arizona just might be “the meth lab of democracy”.

NOT BAD ONES. GO READ:  Post-Midterm Thoughts.

BUT BUT BUT… LIVING MINIMUM WAGE!  Robot grocery stores, get ready for it.

REMEMBER THAT THE ONES WHO WON WERE LYING TOO.  ANYTHING TO GET POWER: After Losing, Dem Politicians Now Say They Can Be Truthful.

IT’S OKAY, THEY HAVE A TENUOUS HOLD ON SANITY TOO…  The Tenuous Democratic House Majority.

CAPTAIN, THIS TIRED FACE CANNOT TAKE MUCH MORE. I’M GIVING IT ALL SHE’S GOT!  Uncritical News Media Gave Blanket Coverage To Flawed Climate Paper.

CAN THEY TAKE OCCASIONAL CORTEX OCASIO-CORTEZ HOME? Just today at lunch I was remarking to my husband how she seems to be reverting to her insectoid form. Interstellar object may have been alien probe, Harvard paper argues, but experts are skeptical.

Of course, she’s not sentient.  Maybe some kind of interstellar pet that got lose?  Somewhere on the intergalactic byways there are posters saying “Occasional Cortex missing. Please help.”

OH, THE DEMS ARE JUST LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO RIOT, BECAUSE THAT, THEY THINK, WILL TOTALLY GET THE REST OF THE COUNTRY ON THEIR SIDE:  Jeff Sessions resigns: so long, it’s been not all that good to know you.  I don’t know. I don’t think there’s enough Thorazine — or dried frog pills — in the world to minister to a mind diseased when the mind is the collective entity known as the democratic party and its adherents.

IT’S WHERE THE MONEY AND THE POWER ARE … FOR NOW: Big Labor Still All-In for Dems.

NO, GUYS. HALF THE COUNTRY HAS GONE MAD, BECAUSE WHOM THE GODS MEAN TO DESTROY, ETC…  A Country Gone Half-Mad.  Also because since they lost all pretensions that their statism would bring about paradise — when the wall fell — they’ve been a religion masquerading as an ideology. Now their faith in the arrow of history and the glorious apotheosis of Marxism keeps being tested, and they have nothing to fall back on.  Just keep the koolaid away from them, okay?

BUT WAIT, THERE’S GOOD NEWS:  CNN’s Jim Acosta has press pass suspended by White House, Sarah Sanders announces.  Complaints that he’s being suppressed in two, three one.  Because, you know, curbing his abominable behavior and suspending his privileges is exactly the same as deplatforming CNN.  Bah.

SERIOUSLY. AT THIS RATE, THE SHOCKED FACE IS GOING TO NEED — AT THE VERY LEAST — PATCHING:  CNN’s Acosta Attacks Trump But Fake News Spins It.

YEAH. I HEAR HE’S THINKING OF RUNNING IN LOUISIANA AS BETOUX O’ROURKE:  Cruz Sends O’Rourke Home On His Skateboard.
