observations on the passing scene

Ever notice that socialists and progressives deploy computer models to support their policies while conservatives and libertarians are more likely to base their position on history. Could it be that models are easier to manipulate than history? ……….. When the FBI interprets a fact pattern differently, depending on the political party of the perpetrator, they reveal dishonesty at their core and cannot be trusted. ……… Only in an environment of legalized vice is a man free to make a moral choice.

Everyone was told to wear a face mask, even though all but the highest grade did absolutely nothing. Everyone was told to take multiple jabs in order to attain immunity and stop the spread, even though the so-called vaccine accomplished neither. Everyone was told to lockdown, even though freedom to assemble and travel are Constitutionally protected. In retrospect, the lesson is clear. If we want to stay free, we must trust the verdict of our minds and stop playing Simon Says. Simon is not us. ………. In a debate, any time someone abandons reason for emotion, it is the intellectual equivalent of tapping out. ……….. Progressives claim to support feminism, but they also promote the takeover of biological males in women’s sports. That’s like a vegan supporting a movement to make bacon a fruit, no? ……….. Climate alarmist seem a bit hush-hush over the fact that there were no major storms during the first three months of hurricane season. An inconvenient truth? ……… Last week, both Biden and Trump accused each other of being enemies of the state. Gotta give the gold star to Joe this time. Trump is a truly an enemy of the corrupt, inflation-producing, crime-excusing, pro-open border warmongering state, particularly the deep unelected one, whereas Biden is more accurately described as an enemy of the people. ……..
