Some thoughts on the paradoxes, from Victor Davis Hanson. It is frightening to contemplate how close we came to losing the second World War, and were only saved by bad decisions on the part of Hitler and Tojo.
Healthier Snacks
This is a step in the right direction, though they persist in the myth that the problem with potato chips is fat. I’d love to try a collard- or cabbage- or kale-based chip.
Meggings?
Really? What fresh hell is this?
Michigan
…is the new Wisconsin:
Expect recall attempts, lawsuits, ballot questions, and more money poured into the gubernatorial and state legislative races than ever before…”We’re looking at two years of war to hold the ground we took today.”
I predict that Michigan job growth in the next two years will help.

Unions begin a long war after a stunning blow in Michigan.
The False Flag Of The Left
…and the media silence:
This alternative version the left offered didn’t have to be true. It didn’t even have to appear to be true. There did not have to be a single grain of a fact anywhere near it. It just had to be floated out there and give so-called mainstream journalists enough of an excuse to decide not to cover the real story. Mainstream media journalists know all about editing, for instance, since they go out of their way to edit out the conservative world view in just about every story they write or produce. Many journalists know about false flag operations, because they are living false flag operations. They pose as objective while they work as Democratic Party operatives. That’s how they spend their entire careers.
The left’s alternative reality keeps winning, though. The casual news consumer scans Google News and sees nothing about the unions’ use of violence to attempt to overturn the legislative process. The casual news consumer has been trained to hate alternative media that counters the prevailing culture. The mainstream media didn’t report that Big Labor tried its hand at intimidating Michigan’s elected representatives out of restoring for the state’s workers the freedom of choice and assembly, so to most Americans, it didn’t happen.
That’s how they win elections, too.
The Anti-Liberty Movement
…is growing afraid.
Good.
Our Drug Laws
They’re criminally insane. No one should be serving life without parole for a non-violent crime. Of course, in California, we have a huge taxpayer-funded lobby for this, in the form of the prison-guard union.

California’s pampered public employees.
The Lies Of The Left
Now they’re accusing Stephen Crowder of faking the violence.
When the left is violent, the media tries to avert its eyes. When the Tea Party was peaceful, they make up stories about violence. And note, once again, the mess that the protesters left behind, as opposed to the Tea Party, which always leave a place cleaner than they found it.
Finding Out What’s In The Bill
Many Senate Democrats want to delay the medical device tax, because they’re concerned that it will cost jobs.
Gee, if only someone had told them about this before they voted for it. Oh, wait.
Morons.
Majoring In Fun
What a disaster academia has become. And all government subsidized, of course.
