Verdict? Turns out that it’s okay now to note, with near certainty, that no, the Lightbringer is not such a good man, after all. If anybody needs me, I’ll be hanging out back in 2008-9, when I tried to make the case and warn against what was coming. It was lonely back there for a while, but these days it seems like lots of folks are finding their way to

If lefty reviewers can pan American Sniper without first seeing it…
… then clearly I can offer a thumbnail of Obama’s SOTU without having watched it. So, here’t goes: “It doesn’t matter that the latest Congressional elections went to the GOP, giving them the Senate and expanding their representation in both the House and in every conceivable local political measurable. The fact is, I won the presidency. Which under my reading makes me a king of sorts. “Therefore, I’m going to

It’s almost tragic that I have to link this, but…
The left simply can’t let some heroism exist, particularly when it is offered in defense of country. That, to them, is merely jingoistic, racist, macho gun-nuttery — of the kind that allows them to sit in their salons and their martini bars and piss on the very people who keep them free so that they can continue belching out distorted narratives and outright falsehoods as a way to cover for

a CITIZEN JOURNALIST prepares himself for tonight’s State of the Union Address
I only have 2 episodes of “Bar Rescue” on the DVR, but if Obama goes longer than we all hope he will, I’m covered: I have yesterday’s “Castle” and at least one “Love it or List it” in the queue. So. God Bless America. And I guess He can go ahead and bless Canada, too, in this very limited case.

“Price of Electricity Hit Record High in U.S. in 2014”
There’s that “necessarily skyrocket” chicken, coming home to roost. CNS News: Even as gasoline prices plummeted and the overall energy price index calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics declined, electricity prices bucked the trend in the United States in 2014. Data released today by the BLS indicates that the electricity price indexes hit all-time highs for the month of December and for the year. 2014 was the most-expensive year

from the protein wisdom archives: “There’s no such thing as race (and it’s a good thing, too)”
It’s become something of a tradition for me to re-post this essay on MLK day, given that it was first written and published back in 1996 in response to an essay in the University of Denver’s Clarion newspaper that laid out, unwittingly I suspect (but in the clear language of the multiculturalist’s faux-emotionalist assault on individual sovereignty and its elevation of social Balkinazation as a matter of civic pride and,

MLK Day: yearly retrospective
Brunch protests. LGBT “white space” protests. Burning minority-owned businesses. An administration populated with the black student extras from The Strawberry Statement… Yeah: let the racial healing continue! When Obama was nominated I wrote that should he be elected he’d set race relations back 50 years — though I certainly wished he’d fail. He hasn’t. We’re living in the “benighted States of America” Rabbit, Redux’s Skeeter railed against — only it’s

Obama’s State of the Union: “Death is a tax loophole” [Darleen Click]
… and by golly, how dare parents and grandparents pass the property and assets they spent a lifetime earning on to their own kids! President Barack Obama is proposing new taxes on the wealthiest Americans that would limit their profits from investments and make it harder for them to pass assets to heirs. […] He would increase the top tax rate on capital gains and dividends to 28 percent from

Progressives and Islamists — rooting out blasphemy of utmost importance for both [Darleen Click]
Remember the ironically-named “Truthy Project”? Internal emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon through a public records request from Indiana University about “Truthy” reveal that the school monitored “hate tweets” and shunned media outlets critical of the project after details of the federally-funded study were made public last year. Officials called a Free Beacon reporter a “faux journalist” for reporting on the taxpayer-funded project designed to root out “misinformation” and

New Republic’s Dennis Jett sneers at American Sniper; Chris Kyle as ‘hate-filled killer’ … [Darleen Click]
How much should we trust Jett’s judgement? I have not seen American Sniper. How precious. Next up, Jett will undoubtedly be clutching his pearls and calling for the fainting couch …
