The weather improved just in time for Portland’s first scheduled anti-Inauguration protests, having gone from sub-freezing cold snap (the last three days have been the first days above freezing this year) to warming just enough to turn the precipitation into cold, sometimes freezing, rain, then today easing up to cool but dry, even sunny atContinue reading “Diary, January 19, 2017”

The Curious Case of Bradley’s Button
Yesterday Steve Sailer noted today how Chelsea (nee Bradley) Manning’s gender dysphoria, having gone from footnote to forefront during his incarceration along with the rise of the trans rights movement, is now seen by fashionable convention as a legitimate sympathy factor favoring President Obama’s commutation of his sentence, as evidenced by the New York Times: It’sContinue reading “The Curious Case of Bradley’s Button”

All the world’s a-rage
Steve Sailer on A&E’s recent withdrawal of its planned KKK reality show after revelations participants were paid: Yet, that seems like it would have been the most authentic imaginable version of today’s KKK: hired performers engaging in Ku Klux Klan Live Action Role Playing: KKKLARPing. It strikes me that much progressive activism is the blue-pilledContinue reading “All the world’s a-rage”
The Vagina Giveth, The Vagina Taketh Away
From Steve Sailer, on Hillary’s awful political instincts: But then Hillary still went ahead with putting the failed cop-killer’s mom on stage at the 2016 Democratic National Convention shortly after the mass cop killings by BLM-inspired terrorists in Dallas and Baton Rouge as part of her “Mothers of the Movement” brainstorm.

My flex cuffs were mercifully loose. We chatted a little as we waited. She was holding me firmly by theContinue reading “portlanarcho-tyranny”

Life in Black and White
Does endorsement of the rioting in Charlotte in response to a police shooting, without any of the usual plausible-enough elements of police misconduct–suspect was not “unarmed”, cop is black, etc– represent a Rubicon crossed for supporters of the Black Lives movement? Is it now that any shooting of a black suspect must prompt rioting? HaveContinue reading “Life in Black and White”
Plus ca change
From the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin: In my journey to Boston this year [1754] I met at New York with our new Governor, Mr. Morris… One afternoon in the height of this public quarrel we met in the street. “Franklin,” says he, “you must home with me and spend the evening; I am to haveContinue reading “Plus ca change”

Eighth of November Where were you, when the dam gave way?What did you do on that glorious day? Before–we were young–they took us asideOn our blank faces they etched their dull lies All history’s sins were ours to atoneWe’d reap Equality, from passion sown Like Soviet farmers we took to the taskRedoubling our efforts withContinue reading “Freestyle”
