THIS IS A TIME OF WONDERS AND MIRACLES. WHO KNEW THE NYT COULD DO ANY KIND OF REAL JOURNALISM?  NY Times reconstruction of Kenosha-Rittenhouse shootings points to potential self-defense.

NOT IF WE SEND THEM TO THE CORNFIELD:  “It’s a Good Life” — the left is narcissism in action.

WELL, SHE WASN’T STUPID:  Agatha Christie — the Nostradamus of the year 2020.

AS AN UNRECONSTRUCTED HEINLEINIAN, I KNOW THAT HUMANS WERE BORN TO STRIVE.  IT’S NOT CHILDREN WHO GET RUINED BY HAVING THEIR LIVES MADE TOO EASY:  That Universal Basic Income Nonsense.

HAVING BEEN PUSHED SO FAR OUT OF HER DEPTH THAT SHE’S SOMEWHERE MID-ATLANTIC, WHAT CAN SHE DO BUT FEEL RESENTMENT?  Michelle O and the Giant Chip on Her Shoulder .

AS SOMEONE WHO STEPPED OUT OF LINE AND HAS PAID THE PRICE (AND HOW), THIS RESEARCHER IS MY BROTHER OF ANOTHER MOTHER. WE CAN’T LET THIS GO ON. YES, THE FIRST ONES TO STEP OUT WILL GET HIT HARD. BUT IF WE DON’T STEP OUT, THE WEST IS DOOMED. AND LIKELY HUMANITY WITH IT. IT’S TIME. COME OUT, COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE:  “Civil War Brewing” at Sandia National Nuclear Laboratories as Scientist RebelS Over Racial Marxist Struggle Sessions.

FROM JEFF DUNTEMANN:  Dreamhealer.

By day, Larry Kettelkamp keeps ancient PDP-8 computers alive in a collapsing industrial bakery. By night he wages war on nightmares, and has been waging that war for thirty years. As a young man, Larry discovered that he could enter other peoples’ nightmares, end them, and then vaccinate the dreamers against that nightmare with an ancient symbol that alters the relationship between the two hemispheres of the brain.
For nightmares are not random concoctions of our dreaming imaginations. Strange creatures called archons living in the subtle realms of the collective unconscious craft horrifying dreams to drop into sleeping minds, and then feast on the terror those dreams evoke. This scheme goes back 15,000 years, to the dawn of human history. It was created by a sort of super-archon who claims to be the Demiurge of ancient Persian myth.
Once Larry learns how to destroy archons instead of merely banishing them from dreams, this architect of all nightmares hunts Larry down and demands that Larry stop destroying the monster’s archon servants. Thus begins an escalating conflict that draws in a bored title-search agent, a witch and a lightworker, two teenage prodigies, a modern-day cult practicing ancient Persian death magick, dream mechas a quarter-mile high, and a very very large number of dogs.

SO NOW IF I OPT NOT TO MASK I HAVE “LOWER LEVELS OF EMPATHY” AND “HIGHER LEVELS OF CALLOUSNESS”?  BUT IF I WEAR A MASK WHILE LOOTING AND BURNING BUSINESSES I’M DISPLAYING A SOCIAL CONSCIENCE?  Antisocial traits linked to lower coronavirus safety adherence, researchers say.

Or maybe I understand the science enough to know masks are kabuki. And since I have asthma, it’s highly harmful (to me) kabuki.

But never mind that, the sociopaths in power will try to shame me into sheep-like obedience.

MANY LACK GOVERNMENT CERTIFICATION, FOR SHAME!  LOOK FOR THE UNION LABEL WHEN YOU ARE BRAINWASHING YOUR CHILDREN AT HOME…. THEN GO ELSEWHERE:  Virtual learning sites sprout up to help working parents.

(And if you might have an interest in giving your kids a classical education, more than a decade ago I used these people for younger son. You could do worse. WAY worse.)

YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAMILIAR THIS IS FROM EUROPE IN THE 70s.  WHEN THESE THINGS WERE BEING ORGANIZED BY OPEN COMMUNISTS. SAME PLAYBOOK EXACTLY:  Contextual Insurgency: Lessons From a Week Observing Portland Black Bloc.

CORONAVIRUS IS VERY VERY SMART. IT ONLY STOPS YOU DOING WHAT THE (LARGELY DEMOCRAT) GOVERNORS AND MAYORS DON’T WANT YOU TO DO, LIKE BE FREE TO COME AND GO AT WILL, GET TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS, WALK AROUND UNMUZZLED, OR WORK AND HAVE A BUSINESS:  Musicians From Coronavirus-Infected States Exempt from NYC Quarantine Rules for MTV’s VMAs.

I’VE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION BEFORE. IT WAS ANOTHER COUNTRY, I WAS YOUNGER. EVEN THEN IT’S PROBABLY A MIRACLE I’M ALIVE.  THIS HAPPENS TO ME? I’M NOT GOING TO LIFT ALOFT THE FIST THAT’S THE SYMBOL OF THE REGIMES THAT KILLED AT LEAST 100 MILLION HUMAN BEINGS. YES, THE FIST MEANS COMMUNISM. EVEN IF THEY TELL YOU IT’S BECAUSE THEY CARE SO MUCH ABOUT BLACK LIVES. TO ME IT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF BEING TOLD TO GIVE A NAZI SALUTE.  SO THIS HAPPENS TO ME, I DIE WITH BOTH MIDDLE FINGERS ALOFT:  DC BLM Mob Harasses White Diners, Demanding They Raise Fists In Solidarity.

Telling you the fist is black power or concern for black lives, is like telling you the nazi salute is because you want to pet kittens. I will not sully myself with either gesture.
