One of the principles of ancient Chinese statecraft is known as “the Mandate of Heaven.” It’s shorthand for what we in the West would call “political legitimacy.” As long as the Emperor enjoys said mandate, his reign would be a happy one. Earthquakes, floods, famines and what-not happens when that mandate is lost. Or should […]
On Governance and Christianity
This one has been a long time in coming. Truth be told, it’s going to be a work in progress. As you all know, things are crazy in the world today. It might be because we are going through a “Fourth Turning.” It might also be because God’s judgment is upon us. We won’t know […]
The Deep State Strikes Again
Well, they’re nothing if not persistent. They’re also freaking desperate. How do we know? Because they wouldn’t be pulling this sh!t. <—He also wrote a book asking the Iranians to assassinate Trump: https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-suspect-ukraine-f76ed09f256f6bd21727a10901d92af7 You know who I’m talking about. The Deep State, the Democrat Establishment. I’d say the Uniparty generally but something tells me that […]
Another “Conspiracy Theory” Bites the Dust
There’s this meme going around (dozens actually) about cats and the Haitians who love to eat them. They’re all quite hilarious if you ask me. In my humble opinion (this one to the left), in particular is the best. Why? It’s funny but even more, it encapsulates what is wrong with our nation at present. […]
About Last Night
Personally, I think Trump won, hands down. Kamala was over-prepped with bromides and Trump was righteously angry. (See Helleniscope‘s perceptive analysis of it here: https://www.helleniscope.com/2024/09/11/trump-was-focused-and-angry-lying-kamala-was-phony-and-rehearsed/) <—Nothing to see here, please move along. I also believe that ABC/Disney did themselves no favors. They were positively horrible. The mask of “objectivity” came off once and for all. […]
And Now: More Russian Interference!
It looks like the Democrat Party is getting their excuses ready when their eminently unqualified diversity hire and her emotional support animal bite the dust in November. Enter stage right: Russia Collusion Hoax 2.0! Our esteemed Attorney General, Merrick Garland, says that those wascally Wussians are back up to their old tricks again. According to […]
The “Dream On” Tax Coming to a City Near You
If you needed someone to watch your children, would you hire someone you didn’t know? Someone with whom you had no connection? Someone unknown by your family and friends. Someone without recommendations, and outside a regulated childcare agency? What if they didn’t speak English or even have an address? No work history you could validate. […]
It Was a Shocking Day
The DOJ claims “Trump directly and repeatedly asked the DOJ’s acting leadership to initiate investigations and file lawsuits on his behalf publicly declaring the 2020 election was corrupt.” Hmm. . . I wonder why he would do that, if that indeed happened. Any time you read so many pejorative words, it’s hard to give credence […]
Finish the Story
As we have been saying for quite awhile now, we are not living in ordinary times. In fact, they’re quite tumultuous. Dangerously so. As a nation (a civilization even), we are at an historical inflection point. One can feel it. The upcoming election (if it proceeds) will be one for “all the marbles.” No two […]
The Agent of Change
I have been thinking a lot about politics these days. (And religion, culture, the future, etc.) Who hasn’t? Don’t blame yourself. You ever heard of the October Surprise? That’s a political trick that one party plays usually on the Thursday right before the election. They do that for maximum impact. Sometimes it works, sometimes it […]
