If you are not a member of the aforementioned category, any joke told at your expense is now denounced as an aspect of your oppression as the member of a Victimized Class. Such is the superficial paradigm that has come to dominate our “woke” civilization. Should a straight White guy spew nonsense unworthy of a …

The View: A Symptom of the Times
I must admit that 10 years ago, before I noticed that the world had gone mad, before I became proactively political, I would watch The View from time to time. While not unduly concerned by the banality if not stupidity of many of the opinions expressed there, I now find them symptomatic of the abject …
Just a Quickie! [You have a dirty mind.]
Just re-watched Rand Paul’s Feb. 2021 interrogation of Miguel Cardona, Biden’s nominee for Secretary of Education. In the exchange, Paul presses Cardona to explain why individuals born Male who now identify as Female should be allowed to compete against Biological Females in high school and university athletics. Cardona’s response is classic “liberal” mumbo-jumbo, a mantra …
The Tide is Turning!
Dan Bongino was thrilled to report the massive Texas victory of Republican Mayra Flores in the special election recently held in Congressional District 34 whose predominantly Hispanic population has traditionally voted Democrat. The identity politics used by Democrats to convince Blacks and Hispanics that they must vote for them has given way, Bongino asserts, to …
The Pollution of Western Discourse
Received a call the other day from one who, having just watched American T.V.’s first installment on the Congressional Committee’s investigation into the events of Jan 6, was absolutely hysterical over the disgusting behavior of the “insurrectionists.” While I in no way tried to defend them, I sought to point out that the very fact …
Systemic Stupidity…It’s hard to keep up!
They wanted to de-fund the police and now city after city in the U.S. has, in the face of soaring crime rates, reversed its position. N.Y. added 200 million to its police budget in 2021! It seems compromised law enforcement only encourages criminals! Duh! Certain hard drugs having been decriminalized in Oregon, overdoses are up …
Are They Still Calling it “Education”?
In 1987 philosopher Allen Bloom published “The Closing of the American Mind: How higher education has failed democracy and impoverished the souls of today’s students.” As has been a recurrent theme of this blog, he averred that the widespread academic endorsement of Postmodern Relativism had seriously undermined the impact of Rational Critical Thought. In 2011 …
The “Woke” Thrive on Hatred!
In a wonderful article in Canada’s National Post on May 7, Ari Blaff submits that it is actually hatred rather than compassion that fuels the politically woke. A former student at what used to be known as Ryerson University, he recalls how in 2017 that school’s Student’s Union fought to cancel what was scheduled as …
Oops! We Were just Kidding in 2020-21!
In an infamous Tweet of 2021, Michigan representative Rashida Tlaib, a member of the female Squad at least in part responsible for pushing Biden to the far Left, pleaded “no more policing,” suggesting not only that inasmuch as America’s police forces were “inherently racist” they should be radically reduced in size, but that convicted criminals …
Why the Woke hate Jordan Peterson
The ontological assumption informing Jordan Peterson’s “Twelve Rules for Life” is that we are intelligent beings capable of understanding both ourselves and the world around us. Implicit in this Enlightenment vision of Man is the notion that Objective Truth is to a large extent available to us, Reason being the vehicle to its apprehension. Succumbing …
