A Red Dawn in New Yorkistan...

 

"Do you know the hallmark of a second-rater? It is resentment of another man's achievement. Those touchy mediocrities who sit trembling lest someone's work prove greater than their own ...They bare their teeth at you from out of their ratholes, thinking that you take pleasure in letting your brilliance dim them...They envy achievement and their dream of greatness is a world where all men have become acknowledged failures..." - Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"

Shut Up and Make Me a Sammich...

 'Definition of AWFL (n): Affluent White Female Liberal. Overeducated, bandwagon-riding hellion, also known as "Karen"; willing and able to take offense on everyone else's behalf, even on subjects that do not concern her. Convinced of her moral and intellectual superiority, despite displaying any evidence of either. Possessed of a streak of victimhood without basis, poor life skills and wedded to a cult of personality dedicated to some other woman who is infinitely worse. A professional misandrist who hypocritically proclaims she "needs no man" and yet desperately wants one to serve as either her slave or benefactor, often both, simultaneously...".

Marx, Riots and Lunatics...

Douchebags of the Week (Week Ending 5/10/2025 -- Bernie and Sandy)

Unburdened By BS...

Marxism, Eggs and Shoeshines...

Authenticity?

The political left has a strange relationship with the word "Authenticity".

Generally speaking, when a Leftist refers to something as being "inauthentic" what they really mean is "This is the Real McCoy, however, admitting so makes me look stupid, so we'll just pretend otherwise".

Defeating The Left, Part One (Know Thy Enemy)...

 "If you know the enemy, and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, then for every victory gained you will suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy or yourself, you will succumb in every battle..." -- Sun Tzu, "The Art of War"

It Is War...

No quote today. I'm too pissed off to get one appropriate for this situation.

Mental Illness, Politics and Religion...Sorry, I Repeat Myself...

"Starting out from the fact that the frustrated predominate among the early adherents of all mass movements and that they usually join of their own accord, it is assumed 1) that frustration of itself, without any proselytizing prompting from the outside, can generate most of the peculiar characteristics of the true believer; 2) that an effective technique of conversion consists basically in the inculcation and fixation of proclivities and responses indigenous to the frustrated mind." -- Eric Hoffer
