I just read Dmitri Orlov’s book, Reinventing Collapse, (2011) What’s gonna happen here when the oil wells stop pumping and the refineries stop…refining? IMHO, this wont happen cuz we’re outta oil, but only if the Left succeeds in its insane policy of destroying the fossil fuel extraction and production industries. But, the book made me … Continue reading Prepping Deluxe →

(No, I don’t know whether they really are, I just couldn’t resist the allusion. Which probably nobody but geezers will “get” anyway.) But here’s the thing: My friends and I talk about “our kids” and what kinda world they want. Thing is, they’re gettin’ on toward 30. Yes, they are our “kids”, but except in … Continue reading The Kids are Alt-Right →

I want to complain, vent, kvetch and the like, to somebody, about this week. So Simon and the Ettes and our readers are elected. okay so Monday was Sept 11. Maybe it’s just me but I relive that horrible trauma on every anniversary. And what has happened in the nearly 2 dozen years since then … Continue reading Is it really only Friday? →

Nearly 3,000 of us were killed by Muslim terrorists. in MY ideal world, every 9/11, all Muslims in this country should be remaining at home, afraid to even show their faces. Women would either ditch the hijabs for the day or just not go out. The windows of the (very few) mosques would be boarded … Continue reading 9/11: Never Forget! →

People have been throwing around the idea of a new “civil war” in the US, like in the 1860s. We should be so lucky. Our Civil War was a regional conflict. Everybody knew where the North ended and the South began. We didn’t have pro-slavery people operating as saboteurs in the North, nor vice-versa. Both … Continue reading Civil War vs. Secession →

I saw the movie last night. Here’s my impression: Too long. Despite the topic: boring, minute by minute. Please don’t tell me Robert Downey Jr really looks like that now. I don’t think it woulda made any bigger splash (pebble-sized ) than, say, Gowan and the Green Knight , except for the “Barbenheimer!” phenomenon: the … Continue reading Oppenheimer →

So today, I thought I was commenting on a post of mine which Simon re-posted, about the Flu Manchu, but for some reason my comment showed up as a new post, “Untitled”! Thanks to anybody who liked it, though I don’t see that it made much sense on its own…

OK, it pretty much loox like a slam dunk: Trump will be the GOP nominee for 2024. But I keep reading how the Dems have engineered this whole thing, they WANT a Trump-Biden contest, it went so well last time. Of course we heard the same thing in 2016, that Trump was THE Republican Clinton … Continue reading Winning to Lose? →

I am an addict. I have two books going in codex form, and one on my Kindle. But I cannot not check email and visit “my” blog sites, including this one. I cannot not check the news. It’s a longing, a deep restlessness. Where is the world? Ah! Yes I’m sucking at the world’s teat … Continue reading Baalfire →
