Inspired by a recent post on this humble blog, reader The Last Redoubt takes the political football and runs with it. Conservative, Inc. has fixated on how "big" the government is. Leftist cant in response to "it's too big" is that "size doesn't matter if it's good government" - and…

To Purify the Church Restore Masculinity

That's the New York Times' housebroken Catholic Conservative Ross Douthat gratuitously groveling before the coven of witches seeking to further feminize the Church. You can spot his knee-jerk effort to preemptively mollify his paymasters by its incoherence. Note to Ross: Nuns and abbesses are laywomen, in that they're not ordained clergy. The prominent…

It’s Not the Size

You can add Gab to the list of dissident outfits that have been shut down by concerted efforts by Leftist tech monopolies.

Are You an NPC?

Polls Are Propaganda

Wherein I respond to a commenter who expressed trepidation about the rising Red Tide: Hmm, a lotta sources you posted still seem iffy on a republican blitzkrieg. Typical bet hedging? Democratic bias? Whaddya think? RCP still for some unfathomable reason has the AZ senate race as a toss up I…
