A gaffe is inadvertantly speaking the truth

A Pentagon spokesman insisted that Rumsfeld simply misspoke, but Internet conspiracy theorists seized on the reference to the plane having been shot down. “Was it a slip of the tongue? Was it an error? Or was it the truth, finally being dropped on the public more than three years after the tragedy” asked a posting […]

Mailvox: tinfoil and the truth

BLS senses suspicion: Vox, I’m confused by your posts. Your comments that Bush grounded the Air Force and that NORAD should have known what was going on in US airspace sound as if you believe Bush had prior knowledge of the attack but chose not to act. Are you advancing a Coventry theory of 9/11? […]

Mailvox: laying down the hickory

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 […]

The election is moot?

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 […]

“The Secular Party Emerges”

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 […]

The Problem is Vaccination

Dr. Robert Malone clearly doesn’t know his history of epidemiology. President Trump just signed a new executive order to align the pediatric vaccine schedule with best practices from other developed countries. At first glance, President Trump’s new Executive Order appears to be about childhood vaccines. It is not. It is about who governs public health in America. […]

The Ceasefire Holds

Most likely until June. But probably not much longer: The Hajj is the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam — the core religious obligations that define Muslim practice. Every Muslim who is physically and financially able is required to perform the Hajj at least once […]

Xi’s Delicate Warning

It’s always interesting to see how far ahead of US politicians the Chinese leaders are, particularly President Xi, who is fully cognizant on the discussions of Western intellectuals, while I doubt any US politicians, with the possible exception of JD Vance, have ever heard of Wang Hunin, much less Qiao Liang or Wang Xiangsui Inside […]

The Headfake

I can’t believe they’re going to try to pull this off again. It should be educational to see how many people fall for it: Donald Trump is on the verge of securing a sweeping peace deal with Iran that would lift US sanctions and unlock billions in frozen assets for Tehran. A one-page, 14-point memorandum […]
