Zulu

When the world seems to be going mad you instinctively search out the familiar, things that make you feel grounded and good. One of my things is the film Zulu, a film that pervades British culture, at least for Gen Xers and the younger Boomers. It occurs to me that it may not be so […]

The economics behind the China trade war

Kyle Bass is a investor and analyst with his own Youtube channel but he’s on American Thought Leaders – The Epoch Times here talking about the Chinese problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOFwxcb0Bjc He seems to be anti-Trump in some comments but that may be an act. Maybe he has not guessed how much 5D chess is happening in […]

Minneapolis changes cops’ uniform rule before Trump rally

So it’s OK to use “cops for props” in the lefts rallies, but cops can not wear their uniforms or be in the backdrop of our POTUS rally. Grr https://www.yahoo.com/news/minneapolis-changes-cops-uniform-rule-120406385.html

Heart Of Darkness

Just when I think that our Society has hit Peak Depravity, someone comes along and says, “Hold my beer”. In my lifetime, I’ve seen the abortion argument go from “Legal, Safe and Rare” in the wake of Roe V Wade, to “It’s vital, in the case of rape or incest” (less that 3% of all […]

Really?!

Having just penned a piece on the return of a British satirical programme I have to report that satire is probably no longer possible in the UK. Nigel Farage has been investigated by the police for something he said to an audience in Newport, Gwent. Having spoken about how plenty of people were preparing for […]

Proud new member here!!

Keep giving them hell Bill.   IMHO, the only solution is to stomp lefties into the mud.     Logic and reason, to say nothing of gentle persuasion, means nothing to them.

It’s coming back!

So, there I was, about to write a brief comment on the Right Angle piece on SNL, when I thought I’d better double check the facts. Being right wing, I tend to do that sort of thing. I was going to write about how the scathing British satirical show Spitting Image ended it’s run just […]

Going To War (2018) Documentary

I just discovered this excellent documentary. I think you should be able to watch it for free on the PBS.org site HERE.  What is it really like to go to war? Filled with terror, pain and grief, it also brings exhilaration, and a profound sense of purpose. In Going to War, renowned authors Karl Marlantes […]

Climate Strikers

A couple of dozen climate strikers from the local charter school just went by my building. They were chanting something on a megaphone as they passed. I couldn’t quite make out what it was, “look at me, look at me, I’m better than you” I assume. That’s what protesters are usually shouting.

Checking out this “Star Citizen” thing

Foghorn’s been posting some pretty rad screen shots from Star Citizen, so I figured I’d look into it a little more just to get a better idea of what the gameplay is like. Which means that this gentleman’s been keeping me company at work for the last couple hours, since everyone else is out and […]

Film… wardrobe… ya know?!

Unfortunately I believe you are making the same mistake that President Trump has been making for years: You assume that people are 1) smart enough to figure things out, and 2) that they’ll exert the miniscule amount of effort needed to clear the weeds.  You have to explain things, even if you don’t “explain things”.

Palate Cleanser

I was wasting time on YouTube and came across this. I like the kick in the pants that the park ranger gives to Pvt. Pyle about what a man is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJlgio-UOng Exit question: Would a scene like this play on TV now?
