Civil Society – Following the Amenities

An impromptu post to spacebook last week, copied here. Not particularly deep, just food for thought… There was a saying years ago that if you were not important enough to miss a phone call then you were really not very important. I have thought of this every time the last twenty years that I have …

Truth is Whatever We Say It Is…

They forbade you to open your businesses. They told you what you could buy and sell, and where. They made it ‘illegal’ to go to Church. They arrested you for daring to protest the Governor. They denied your children graduations and proms. They told you NO wakes or funerals for your departed loved ones. They …

Minneapolis Riots – Some Random Thoughts…

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says rioting is okay if it’s directed at the police. If you ever had any doubt who this man works for maybe this will help clear it up for you. (hint: it’s NOT for the people, and it’s NOT for law and order.) “The masses have never thirsted after truth. …

Contact Tracers – The New Nazis

Lost your job? Consider becoming a “contact tracer” – CBS News History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes, said Mark Twain. Prepare for the New Nazis – the Grandest collection of Paid Busybodies the world will have ever known. First it was ‘Protecting the Homeland’ with the TSA, kapos* proudly selected and paid to assault …

Self-Sufficiency – Wet Shaving

About seven years ago I was in Sam’s Club looking at the high dollar disposable razors I used at the time. I finally said “No thanks,” and put them back. I determined that I was going to get back to the basics with shaving in the same way I had with food and many other …

Eaten by Bears

The Apostate Prophet talks about how cringeworthy – and stupid – it is when those caught up in their own virtue-signalling try to show Muslims how supportive they are of them during Ramadan. There is a German word that comes to my own mind when I see stuff like this: Fremdschämen (definition below). I thought …

A Friendly Reminder from Tommy Toilet

Who would have thought that nearly 50 years after this was first published the nation would once again take this to heart. I suspect this is the real reason for the recent toilet paper panic. Image by R. Crumb More at CRISIS-19 Public Forum Robert Crumb – Wikipedia Welcome to rcrumb.com – The Official Crumb …

Unfriended in the Name of Tolerance

Unfriended; chalk up one more for “tolerance”…. A friend screamed at me one night over the phone two or three years ago that she belonged to “the party that cares about people!” It has been no secret for a long time that I disdain both political parties as two wings of the same bird, and …

Gibran on Giving

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder …

Mother’s Day Quote for Rahm Emanuel

Wow, what a neat guy… “Mother’s Day is a tough holiday for Rahm Emanuel because he’s not used to saying the word ‘day’ after ‘mother’.” — President Barack Obama, 2009 White House Correspondents’ Dinner For those who do not know, I love gutter humor. I post this simply to note the holier-than-thou hypocrisy of the …

Monopoly – Stop Playing the Game

“The only way to stop playing a game is to stop.” — Eric Berne, The Games People Play I was the first of five children born in our family. As kids we would sometimes play Monopoly. Being the oldest I had an advantage in figuring out how to win. I was also the Banker. As …

Flour, Water, Salt, and Yeast

You know, with some flour, water, salt, and a little yeast, you can bake bread. You have to have an oven of course. The country went out and bought not flour however, or yeast, but toilet paper. It really shows you which end they are preoccupied with, and perhaps the developmental stage they’re at. Originally …

Erik Satie: Gymnopédies

Stop Playing the Game

I just saw a headline stating that Bernie Sanders’ real obstacle is not Trump, but the Democratic establishment. Indeed, but I would say that this whole country’s problem is not Trump, but the larger Establishment (the Dark Lords, the Puppet-Masters, the Man (or Men) behind the Curtain). Trump is just a symptom of an Oligarchy …

Wall Street Banks Continue Doing God’s Work

“We are doing God’s work,” said Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs in 2009. Let’s take a quick look at that. In contrast let us also establish the definition of usury, a concept abominable since Biblical times. usury – noun the illegal action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest. interest …

A Personal Look at the Patriarchy

At seventeen I rebuilt my first V8 engine from the block up. I had a friend whose mother was dating a German who had been a mechanic on the Porsche international racing team. He asked if he could drive my car. I was pleased to have him do so and handed him the keys. Off …

Hugs and Vanilla…

Notes from the journal… for Colleen 10 September 2017 I picked up one of my nieces a few nights ago at the airport. She had flown in from Ft. Lauderdale, escaping Hurricane Irma. I got my first real hug in a long time. It was one of those hugs that leaves you feeling loved and …

Branches of the U.S. Government

I meet a lot of people who do not know the difference between a U.S. Senator and a U.S. Representative, or even that there are two separate branches of the Legislature. Many do not know as well that, at least theoretically, there are separate powers given to each branch of government. This does not mean …

Sheriff David Clarke with Candace Owens

This was a simply superb interview. As I listened to this I was reminded of how common sense, intelligence, and good moral conduct knows no racial boundary. Those of us not fixated on race in fact give it little thought. I was also reminded of the hundreds of hours of reading and audio I have …

Nextcloud on Linux working superbly

After many weeks of thinking about it I finally got Nextcloud installed on both my Linux systems last evening. It is working flawlessly so far. Nextcloud is backup and file syncing software, but it is more than that. I finally moved all my systems to Linux two years ago after many years of experimenting with …

Gad Saad on why it is important to document and capture the Zeitgeist of Lunacy that presently occupies the culture. Every now and then a video from Gad Saad will catch my eye. I will get an update on some new aspect of the culture I had missed. He endlessly notes the lunacy, hypocrisy, and …
