DISTRUST AUTHORITY AND EXPERTS:  “I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken.”

Test. Test. Test. examine internal inconsistencies. And for the love of heaven, use your own good reason and judgement. Anyone who paid ten seconds of attention to the numbers of the Diamond Princess would shrug off the “Dread Plague Winnie.”
Numbers don’t lie. Whatever the idiots on the left say, 2 +2 does very much equal four. And cruise ships that are disease vectors in the best of time show that if not everyone — of an older and more infirm population than we have — died, if in fact fewer died than would have died from rampant stomach flu, this was a nothingburger. Thinking and reality testing would have stopped the covidiocy.

In the same way looking at the numbers for the election would tell you that unless the magi delivered batches of votes in the middle of the night and made racist Joe more attractive to black people than Barrack Obama, there was fraud.

In the same way our cowardly Supreme Court might have guessed the summer riots were memorex designed to scare them, and that being idiots and going along with the coup increases exponentially the chances of real riots and real death.

Think.  I beg you to think.

Trust me: take it from someone who does it for a living: creating an internally consistent internal reality is almost impossible. It’s all repetition and seeming to come from everywhere at once. But if you look, the cracks, inconsistencies and impossibilities are there.

APPARENTLY IT WAS A PREVIEW?  The Guinea Pigs.

IF IT COMES TO THAT, DO YOU KNOW THAT’S BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT? BUREAUCRATS:  On Being Useful.

They’re also bad for children and other living things. In fact, cutting back on government is good for everyone. Do it for the children.

IT’S TIME TO REIN IN THE NONSENSE:  Generally Speaking.

ME? I’M AN URBAN CREATURE:  Why They’ll Never Push Us All Into The City.

After all, my ancestors were building cities while some people in some small island somewhere were painting their bellies blue.
But — speaking of blue — the blue cities kill the very reasons I like cities: the ability to walk around and find the unexpected little shop or cafe; the zoos, museums and other amusements that only exist when there is enough population.

Blue and city aren’t necessarily linked. In fact, Democrats and other leftists are — generally speaking — the death of cities. And states. And countries. And everything they touch.

I bear no malice to my friends who prefer the unsullied countryside, and communing with nature. Give me a crowded cafe, and a corner where I can watch human nature. Let’s hope that will be viable again before I die.

YOU KNOW, AS WITH ALL THE CRUSADES THE LEFT HAS ENGAGED IN, THEY’LL TURN OUT TO BE WRONG:  Thank You For Smoking.

Sure, cigarettes have some terrible downsides, mostly because of the method of delivery for the nicotine. Nicotine itself has beneficial effects, at least for those of us who are incredibly ADD. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that humanity’s most prosperous era came at a time when coffee and cigarettes were both common in the west.  And the author isn’t wrong about obesity.

Should you smoke? I don’t know. I can’t. At least not regular cigarettes, since it always seems to end in pneumonia. However, note that the various e-cigs don’t have that problem. And that the left still screams and chases after them, and tries to get them banned.

Because their hatreds are irrational, and the things they want banned almost always turn to have some usefulness.  Now, are they without dangers? No. There is nothing without dangers. There is nothing without downsides. And you know what? What is acceptable to some people might not be acceptable to others. Leave it to the individual to decide what they can and can’t afford to endure.

THE INSANE STUPIDITY OF THE JUNTA HAS NO END:  Biden Executive Order Promotes Critical Race Theory.

Ignore them at every possible turn. Countravene them, thwart them and sabotage them when it’s not. Because the road we’re traveling on, if we don’t do that leads to much more unimaginable horror.
