Sunset over a Danish Fiord

Aspiring totalitarians ignore the law

The baffling concept that half of America will simply shrug their shoulders and submit to the dictatorship of the other half is as dangerous as it is misguided and foolish. When you toss out the law, bad things happen. Somehow they got the impression that the American people will accept whatever they do, whatever injustice they impose, whatever whims they choose to enforce. That is an unbelievably dangerous notion, says Kurt Schlichter in this article, Rejecting The Rule Of Law Means Inviting The Rule Of Guns, at Town Hall. 

The Impending Catastrophe

There is no rule of law any more if you're a government employee—or one of those protected by same. The majority opinion appears to be that as long as you can get your little piece of the grift, whether it be Medicare, Food Stamps, Section 8 or a rising stock market it's all ok. Ask yourself—is that actually true or are you deluding yourself? Are you falling behind despite getting your little piece of the grift or are you getting ahead? What about your children? Are they able to get ahead?, says Karl Denninger in this article, The Impending Catastrophe, at Market Ticker.

Tried and true virus protection

A killer infectious disease is discovered nearby. You drive down to the big-box store to buy a dozen cans of spray. They are wiped out. It looks like a bomb hit the aisles of the pharmacy. You curse the social media that generated the panic and left you the last person in-the-know. But virus, in general, are not that hard to kill. Joe Mama has some proven alternatives for you in this article, Field Expedient Disinfectants, at Eaton Rapids Joe.

Old school

What all these fellas had in common was morals, sense of community, honor, strength, the good old virtues. They vibed calm, deadly if necessary; do the right thing always, no bullshit, word is my bond. No showboating or colorful language tossed around just to hear themselves talk, no hey look at me how important I am sort of conduct. The Polack that ran the junkyard, he still dressed like a Polack even though he came home from the Pacific with a sack full of ears and a face full of shrapnel. “Wat? Wat? I went dere. I done some tings, I come home. Dat's it,” says Chasmatic in this article, Father's Day, at Spillers of Soup. 

Reality check – Both during slavery and as late as 1920, a teenage girl raising a child without a man present was rare among blacks. A study of 1880 family structure in Philadelphia found that three-quarters of black families were nuclear families (composed of two parents and children). What is significant, given today's arguments that slavery and discrimination decimated the black family structure, is the fact that years ago, there were only slight differences in family structure among racial groups.

Ferguson and the press – There’s no point in marching around and shaking your fists if no one is paying attention to you. The riots and looting will continue for as long as there are correspondents there to shove cameras into angry faces while asking them what it is that they are so angry about. And if they aren’t angry yet, they’ll find something to be angry about if they want to be on the evening news.
