The Gargler gargles: Vox.. you’re pretty fond of a little saying. “Tell it to the whigs!”. Ah what a battle cry! It summons up images of the possibility of rebellion within the politcal world… Sadly its inaccurate. The Whigs were never anything to be feared, and calling them well organized is simply ignoring history. We’re […]
We spend a lot of time discussing the merits of third party voting here, but as I’ve now run across a fourth distinct source that believes that the election will be canceled in between now and November, I thought that I’d at least bring one of the more interestingly paranoid theories to your attention. Is […]
Rod Dreher of the Dallas Morning News writes in Touchstone magazine: “The bias of the news media against religious conservatives is by this point a dog-bites-man story of the first degree. Everybody knows that pro-life marchers and churches who resist gay “marriage” aren’t going to get a fair shake from the newspaper, and we’ve gotten […]
For the second time in one year, the once-indomitable US Navy has been forced to run away from land-based missiles in the Middle East, thereby demonstrating an end to 80 years of carrier diplomacy. This, along with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz enforced by Iran, spells the end of four centuries of Anglo-US […]
The USS Abraham Lincoln has been in the Arabian Sea since January 26. The Gerald R. Ford transited Gibraltar on February 20. Thirteen Aegis destroyers, 600-plus Tomahawks in single-salvo capacity, 500 aircraft spread across bases from Jordan to Qatar—the largest American force concentration in the Middle East since 2003. Every analyst in Washington is writing […]
It appears that Iran, like Russia, just managed to get suckered into “diplomacy” that was never anything more than a means of buying time in order to permit the US military to move its pieces into position for a series of decapitation and incapacitation strikes. The rapid buildup of U.S. forces in the Middle East […]
III. The Enlightenment’s Rhetorical Strategy The Enlightenment’s thinkers were not, for the most part, fools. Many were genuinely intelligent, some were mathematically gifted, and a few made genuine contributions to human knowledge. But they were charlatans, and the movement as a whole succeeded through the effectiveness of its propaganda instead of the quality of the […]
How can we be at Super Bowl 60? It seems to me like we should be in the late 30s, maybe mid-40s at most. Anyhow, I expect the Seahawks to win easily. And good for Sam Darnold if they do. I like Mike Vrabel and I like this Patriots team, but they have had the […]
Clown World is a constant source of historical disinformation, when it isn’t outright fiction: Kaja Kallas, the de facto EU foreign minister already notorious for her chirpy incompetence, has done it again: displayed such elementary ignorance that you have to rub your eyes and double-check before you believe it’s true. But – as always with […]
That’s not rhetoric. That’s not an exaggeration. That’s exactly what has been happening for the last ten years in Minnesota, as it has been revealed that the largest source of funds for the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer. The Somali fraud rings have sent huge sums in remittances, or money transfers, from […]
