A couple of Readers sent me this clothing idea:
…and it comes in olive drab.
I would have wanted one even more had there been a little text, e.g. “Sometimes you need to kill a few Communists to save the Republic”, but still…

Trying not to start the public floggings
Buh-Bye
As a wise man once said to me: “Show me Paradise, I’ll buy us the tickets.”
Looks like this asshole didn’t find his Paradise:
A father-of-seven sales executive who moved his family from San Diego to Austin before moving back to California has been panned for his scathing op-ed complaining about the rude locals, the oppressive heat, the rain and the ‘bland’ culture.
…
Alder described Texas with its lower income taxes as a ‘conservative dystopia’ and said he felt cramped – even though his house was twice the size.
He listed a litany of ‘problems’ explaining why he decided to return West to the Bay Area including bad driving, the ‘lame’ car washes, the cost of living, the ‘monoculture that doesn’t seem to be aware of it’s own blandness’ and the fact he took his kids out of school because it was a ‘micro-managed military academy’.
But worst of all, he had to endure:
…cedar allergies, ‘terrible service’, the lack of places to hike and having to drive 40 minutes to a restaurant serving Southern Indian food.
Dude, to get anywhere in Austin takes a 40-minute drive, if you’re lucky. (Kinda like [chortle] San Jose, come to think of it.)
And if Austin (motto: “Keep Austin Weird”) has a “monoculture”, it’s a good thing he didn’t settle anywhere else in Texas. (Even better: Bee Cave? That area is so White, it makes Tide powder look mulatto.)
All in all, I can’t say Texas is sorry to see him and his family go. Two less Democrat voters to worry about.
Welcome back to California, and tell all your buddies to stay there. We have a surfeit of your kind here already.
Machiavelli And All That
Saith Insty, who is wise and wonderful:
“So why has the establishment turned on [NYGov Andrew] Cuomo? It’s not his misbehavior — they always knew about that and didn’t care. My theory: Kamala will be president before 2024, and she’s quite unlikable and didn’t garner a single Democratic delegate in the primary. They’re trying to bump off a potential primary challenger, and with Gavin Newsom already self-neutralized, Cuomo is the biggest remaining threat.”
Machiavellian? Not especially.
Yeah… gawd forbid the Socialists should get behind a mass murderer of the elderly as their Presidential candidate.
Blindingly Obvious
It’s not often that I feel the need to chide Insty, but he asks a silly question of a Michael Barone article. Barone states:
When public policies have produced disastrous results and when alternative policies have resulted in immediate, seemingly miraculous improvement, why would anyone want to go back to the earlier policies? Is there any reason to suppose that this time will be different?
…
We know where such policies led before. Is there any reason this time will be different?
Whereupon Insty states, correctly:
The explanation is that Democrats don’t care about the downsides to these policies, because they feel like the upsides offset them.
But he then falls into the standard trap of the intelligent person by asking:
So what are the upsides that they see?
Silly rabbit. The upside to any policy proposal or implementation by the Left (Marxists) is that it makes them feel virtuous. (The only other significant upside is if said policy increases the Left’s grip on power.) In the face of those two features, downsides pale into insignificance.
I will now quote again the late-and-very-much-missed Acidman:
“I could tolerate leftists if they had any coherent ideas for a better way to do things. But they don’t. They cling stubbornly to failed brain-fart dreams that have been attempted over and over again with disastrous results, but they never learn. When better ideas come along, they simply screech and holler at them, then fling feces like the monkeys they are.”
The reason they do that is because better ideas underline their (many) failures. And that gives them Teh Sadz.
No Comment Necessary
Best opening in a news article*:
This week, Matt Meyer did what many parents long to do. He dropped off his kid at school. That’s unusual in Berkeley, California, where he lives, because the schools there have been closed for a year, and the teachers’ union adamantly opposes their reopening. Parents like Mr. Meyer who can afford private schools, which are mostly open, send their kids there. His child has been there since last June. So he dropped off his child and drove off to his job.
His job is head of the Berkeley teachers’ union. His main task there is to keep the public schools closed for everyone else.
[insert “fucking hypocrite” joke here]
*so far. “Barack Obama dies painfully” would beat it.
I’ll Take “1” For $500, Alex
Well now, isn’t this special?
A woke offensive has taken the nation’s schools by storm in the aftermath of the George Floyd fallout, but instead of the intended purpose of solving racial inequities it’s irritated parents of all persuasions.
In interviews with DailyMail.com, parents say they’ve been overwhelmed by education reformers seeking to impose anti-racist agendas on America’s schools. They describe the efforts as well-intentioned but often rushed, condescending, insulting and poorly timed, coming during a global pandemic when most families are just trying to get by.Yeah, well, sorry folks, but this is anything but well-intentioned: these assholes are trying to eradicate your history, your heritage and your culture. Herewith one of the tools they’re using:
And the handy-dandy little crib sheet:
First things first: someone needs to take this Barndoor Hissy out back and either horsewhip his sorry ass, or else apply the old Chinese Solution To Social Problems (which includes making his surviving family pay for the cartridge).
Or both.
In the meantime, let’s hear it for Whitey:
