(Brunette here.) Even a few short years ago, I’d have insisted I’d never vote again. Too much corruption in government; crooked politicians not even worthy of a “lesser evil” vote; rigged elections and voter fraud . . . I was probably as thoroughly disillusioned with politics as it’s possible to be. Years ago, I’d even […]
(Brunette here.) “Let us do the thinking for you!” “We’ll tell you what to think!” seems to be the attitude of much of today’s media, both mainstream and even alternative. Who isn’t weary of people whose sole desire is evidently “controlling the narrative” and who conveniently dismiss any disallowed ideas as “Conspiracy theories”? Who does […]
CNN “media reporter” Brian Stelter Wednesday accused President Donald Trump of leading a “hate movement” against establishment press reporters and commentators (if they any longer pretend to draw that distinction.)
(Brunette here.) Are you skeptical about religion? Yes? . . . me too. Are you equally skeptical of Atheism? (Ditto.) Atheism seems quite popular at present; I take no issue with individual atheists, though evangelizing atheists (evangelists of any sort, frankly) DO irk me. Faith is an extremely personal thing to those who possess it. […]
(Brunette again.) With recent LGBT Pride Day celebrations fading from the headlines, especially since posting my last piece, I’ve found myself thinking about various stories I’ve read over the past year or two, particularly accounts of gay men coming out as conservative: They say — and I have no trouble believing them — that it’s […]
(Brunette here.) Tyranny heralds its arrival first through confiscation of speech — via Orwellian inversion of language, and/or suppression of undesirable voices ‘by any means necessary,’ whether subtle or brutal or BOTH. If you want to determine who the aspiring tyrants are in a given society, and who they intend to oppress, look around to […]
Brunette here again. Guess I’m in an uncharacteristically chatty mood lately . . . not to worry, Vin will be back. And I’ll revert to my usual quieter self sooner or later. 😉
(Brunette again.) The fog of war — largely an information war — will eventually clear. We’ve been in the thick of it for some time now. The long dominant left-leaning media has everyone’s heads spinning with more Russia hysteria, spurious rumors based on anonymous sources, breathless speculations about who’s in or out (or at each […]
(Brunette here.) I’ll admit, initially I wasn’t a big Trump fan. I didn’t take serious interest in the Donald until after the Wikileaks Podesta emails (and Pizzagate/Pedogate) had broken. I’d never had much reason to think about the man, pay attention to him, take him seriously. But I’d always disliked the Clintons, and after watching […]
No one wants Pizzagate to be true. (Brunette here.) When something’s “too good to be true,” of course, it usually is . . . but what about something that seems too evil — too horrific, disturbing — to be true?
