TELL ME YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW REPUBLICAN VOTERS THINK WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW REPUBLICAN VOTERS THINK
Matt Lewis of the Daily Beast thinks that Trump guy is really in political hot water now.... In political campaigns, we are always fighting the last war. Donald Trump’s election in 2016 was, in no insignificant part, a reaction to the disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq and the subsequent years of quagmire. Actually, that was a very insignificant aspect of Trump's appeal, much less important than the immigrant-bashing, the Hillary-bashing, and the general assholism. (The base found it thrilling to watch him get away with obnoxious, over-the-line comments nearly every day.) ... That... read more

Russia Is Spiraling Toward a $150 Billion Default Nightmare *Bloomberg: **Russia Is Spiraling Toward a $150 Billion Default Nightmare* (Bloomberg) -- Russia’s economy is fraying, its currency has collapsed, and its debt is junk.

PJ Media: Producer prices increased a colossal 10% over a year prior in February, according to the latest Producer Price Index report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Why Your Expensive Restaurant Mac And Cheese Probably Has Velveeta

Good riddance, Simon
He was never a leader. He seemed barely even a full-grown man -- with a few brief years as a provincial prosecutor behind him before being catapulted into Parliament by beating Winston Peters (his one signal life achievement), then catapulted again into party leader when the room looked around and found everyone else even more ill-suited to the job than he was. What does it say about the caucus that it looked around and saw this half-formed soft-shelled thing as its saviour? Perhaps that he best represented its own lack of any coherent direction?

"Comparing the 1930s and Today"
*"Comparing the 1930s and Today"* by Doug Casey "You've heard the axiom "History repeats itself." It does, but never in exactly the same way. To apply the lessons of the past, we must understand the differences of the present. During the American Revolution, the British came prepared to fight a successful war - but against a European army. Their formations, which gave them devastating firepower, and their red coats, which emphasized their numbers, proved the exact opposite of the tactics needed to fight a guerrilla war. Before World War I, generals still saw the cavalry as the flow... read more
Paul Mason Vs Anti-Humanism
In his Ukraine: Outline of a Marxist Position, Paul Mason discusses how parts of the left have "disgraced themselves" by shilling for Putin's invasion. The decaying remnants of Stalinism identify Putin's oligarchy with the Soviet state of old, manifesting itself as a form of nostalgia and "as a way of thinking". This mindset characterises those live their politics in the past and "20 year old leftists who’ve drunk the kool aid of anti-humanism from Althusser and Foucault." Excuse me what? He continues, "Once you can accept that ‘humanity is a social construct’ and that ‘history is... read more

She admired and venerated and celebrated that bird. But then she thought: He might want to visit far-off mountains!

Desperate Dems search for a scapegoat for the energy crisis they created
Brandon Morse: Right now, Democrats are absolutely reeking of desperation and the smell only gets more pungent as we get closer to midterms. One of the things they’re sweating the most is the energy crisis, a situation that went from bad to worse thanks to bad or worse decision-making on behalf of the Biden administration. Decisions he’s been making since day one. Democrats are doing their absolute best to spin the crisis to be the fault of anyone or anything but themselves. From Jen Psaki on down, Democrats want you fixed on Russian President Vladimir Putin as the cause of all o... read more
