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.

HE IS WHAT HE IS, AND THIS IS WHAT HE IS: Obama’s nasty, partisan, divisive, racially accusative memoir.

This is the destruction of the family and the sixties edge of insanity coming home to roost. Teach your children well. Don’t be Obama’s mom, or heaven forbid his dad. There are things more important than personal gratification.

WE’VE SEEN THIS:  The power of intolerant minorities.

In our associations, our hobbies, our government, the left has played this game over and over again. It’s time to say “no more.”
