Monday was a rough one for Con Inc. grifters. First, double agent Jack Posobiec outed himself as a conman who hoodwinks normieCons into funding a pro-Antifa charity. But conservative indie artists in need of a signal boost? Tough luck, bucko. Let me lay my cards on the table here. Writing…

Double Agent Poso

"Always have one hand reaching up for the next rung of the ladder, and have one reaching down to help the next guy up." That's a maxim I've lived by since starting my newpub career. But conservative indie authors and readers are starting to notice that the e-celebs packaged as…

It Don’t Matter

While a majority of Americans still practice Christianity at home, our rulers submit to a heretical secular religion. And they've taken pains to make sure Christians' beliefs have zero impact on public life. One can agitate for state-enforced child mutilation and not only be tolerated but praised. Yet refusing to…

Let's turn back the clock to July 2020 when I wrote: So it doesn’t look like Kanye is launching a serious bid for the White House in 2020 so much as a trial balloon for 2024. Read the receipts here. That was two years ago. Then something extraordinary happened two…

Embracing the collapse, they say, is the final…

For the past year, right-wing social media has been rife with pseudo-messianism surrounding Donald Trump's expected 2024 presidential bid. His supporters' fervor has devolved to infighting with backers of Florida governor Ron DeSantis. What everybody missed among the political theater is that national elections no longer matter. They haven't for…

Political Theater

Whatever your opinion of the midterm election results, the one conclusion no sane, intelligent person can draw from this public farce is that the system works. With a brain trauma patient going to the senate, the only explanations are that the process is rigged, so the people's will doesn't matter;…

Caligula’s Horse

In the Before-fore Times, this post would open with "The results are in ..." But this is the now-now in Clown World. So we won't have the exact vote count from last night's midterms for weeks - if ever. People hate prognosticators who make rosy predictions that turn out wrong.…

The MAGA Paradox

The first midterm elections since the establishment honeypot setup that ended Trump's presidency are upon us. Now the MAGA movement faces a crisis - in the original sense of a trial or a test. Can it survive the shift from two-party presidential politics to put up effective dissent against the…

The Point of Liberalism

While a majority of Americans practice Christianity at home, our rulers submit to a heretical secular religion. And they've taken pains to make sure Christians' beliefs have zero impact on public life. You can safely call for an innocent child to spend the rest of his life behind bars, but…
