In my recent post, Dear Dr. Berlinski, I included a link to Claire’s interview of her father Dr. David Berlinski. I found the interview so appealing that I thought she could turn it into a one act play. Claire has just done a sequel and interviewed her father again. I must now concede that I […]

Actually, Dr. PJW is making far more sense than the vast majority of intellectuals and pundits who stumble around this issue and can’t handle it. It is a very old form of mental illness that has been facilitated anew by social media. Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy are the fuel for the twisted personality that uses […]

California Gov. Gavin Newsom: Time to ‘Sober Up’ About Green Energy’s Flaws California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that the state had to “sober up” about the fact that renewable energy sources had failed to provide enough power for the state at peak demand, and needed “backup” and “insurance” from other sources. Newsom addressed journalists and the public […]

A Question of Motive
From the first report of the George Floyd death, I was bothered by the lack of interest in Officer Chauvin’s possible motive for having his knee on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes. With no such interest expressed, the political polemicists of BLM/Antifa had a field day ascribing it to the endemic racism of America showing itself by the merciless actions of a white cop. We now have a video of the actual arrest and, for me, it reveals a great deal.
Well, It Wasn’t the 4th of July
In Chicago over the 4th of July weekend, 80 people were shot and 15 died. This past weekend in Chicago, 34 people were shot and 9 died. Well, it wasn’t the 4th of July but that’s still quite a total for the first weekend in August. If anyone actually understands what the English words emanating from their mouth mean when they yell, “Black Lives Matter” they would get very ill at just the thought of these horrific events.
Lori Lightfoot is too smart not to know what this means. She is a tough politician who is defending her left-wing turf but how long can she keep standing. The slaughter on the streets every weekend makes her look like a fool. Her police department is ready to mutiny. Chicago already has the strictest gun laws in the country. These gun laws don’t seem to keep guns out of the hands of the criminals who are committing almost all of these murders.
Something has got to give.

Socialists with no legitimate explanation as to why they need to employ dictatorial government control are attracted to end of the world catastrophe scenarios. The terror produces a childlike faith in an all-powerful world government or so the socialist hopes. The fear of Nuclear War played this role nicely in the 1950s and 1960s. However, […]

The Issue Is Not Trump
According to Kevin Williamson, The Issue Is Trump.
What do Republicans want? What do they believe? What do they cherish? They should be careful how they answer.
Personally, I cannot wait for Election Day, if only to find out whether the backers of the Lincoln Project and those who sympathize with them are “irrelevant,” as Trump and his allies like to say, or whether that estimate will change right around the time Fox News calls Pennsylvania.
