Erika Kirk footage at Charlie’s casket

Posted on      by     

Erika Kirk posted this video just two days after her husband was murdered. Does that not seem, well, bizarre? This is a private moment, probably the most sacred private moment of a widow’s life. And yet here is Erika, who is even mic’d up,  recording what comes across as a ghoulish ASMR, and posting it for the world to see. Why make a spectacle of such a moment?

Trump is fumbling the future

This is Gavin Newsom posting this, not some random anon. They’re serious, and motivated. The Right is not. Republicans will lose in 2028 and we’re going to see JD Vance, Hesgeth, and Miller attacked with such a wave of lawfare that 2021-2024 will look quaint. They’ll probably all get prison sentences.

The political temperature is too high in this country. There is a sense that the entire nation is split down the middle, existing in a state of cold war. How much longer can this state of affairs remain stable? We all await the next shoe to drop, the one catalyzing event that pushes the cauldron past the boiling point.

There’s a fun horror film trope where, in the second or third act, it’s discovered that the savage killer or monster has a well-meaning, innocent benefactor who nurtures and shields them, and turns a blind eye to their crimes. The only reason the monster is free to kill is due to this protection provided it. Only when this benefactor is removed, the monster is finally defeated. In fiction, it’s a great basis for a wide variety of plots. But when it plays out in the real world, and with entire nations involved, the result is an endless series of massacres, culminating in some ultimate bloodletting. We’re currently embroiled in a real-world display of this horror trope, and the US plays the role of blind benefactor to Israel’s inhuman monster. Israel massacres at its leisure, because it knows the US will allow it, and will never remove the protection that shields it from the justice that it would probably swiftly receive. The only question is how much longer can this go on?

Inevitable headlines

We knew headlines like this were coming. First denial, and now the inevitable public admission with a generous helping of “so what?”. I was never going to take the vax, but I definitely wasn’t going to take an action that was being pushed in an atmosphere of total hysteria. I feel very sorry for those who took the vaccine, not out of a belief that it would keep them safe, but because they were told to, with the implied “or else”.  The message became peer pressure, which is powerfully persuasive for those who have such a fear of social ostracization that they will risk their health, and the health of their children. And now look at the price of that cowardice.

Are serious leaders a thing of the past?

Posted on      by     

Hesgeth, Secretary of War, comes off like a buffoon, a middle-aged adolescent who appears in over his head. The Left is going to throw him in prison for the rest of his life when they return to power, as they make exceedingly clear at every opportunity. Neither he, nor most Trump officials, understand the stakes, even after four years of Biden, assassinations, riots, burning cities. The Left is serious. The Right is not. Trump, Hesgeth, Miller, and others, love to be provocative, to thumb their noses in the faces of their political opponents, without an apparent care in the world what will happen when their party begins losing elections. The Left doesn’t forget or forgive.
