“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Dear Japan, WTFH?!

First I came across this at John C. Wright’s blog: Yes, that is in fact a bunch of schoolgirls driving tanks for a sporting event. And then I came across this today at Vox Day’s pad: They’re still scraping what’s left of my brains off...

Peace through strength

The Gipper’s core philosophy continues to make sense: As much as I respect and admire Bill Whittle, it is worth pointing out one big problem with his analysis. The reality is that the cancellation of the F-22 is probably one of the very very very...

Getting pimp-slapped by reality

If I still used social media, I’d think strongly about making this my profile picture You know the old saying, “a conservative is a liberal who got mugged by reality”? Well, an ex-CNN anchor discovered just how true that saying is, the hard way:...

Stupidity, thy name is “football”

Not American football, mind you- though I readily admit, I don’t see the point of gridiron myself: I will certainly concede that I cannot for the life of me understand American sports such as basketball, baseball, or gridiron. I don’t mind ice hockey...

“We might have been a great and free people”

That about sums up the state of the culture On this day in 1776, 56 free-born Englishmen signed a document in Philadelphia that became the rallying cry for a new nation. The text itself is a masterpiece of rhetoric. It follows a simple and well understood structure;...

Services provided by a girl, no less- a very cute one: This should put paid to any silly notions that uninformed men might have about the purposes of selfies. Women take these stupid things to draw attention to themselves. That is their entire point. I have never...

Guest Post: The narrative is wrong

A fellow Vile Faceless Minion commented at some length on my post from the other day regarding the recent shooting in Charleston, SC. I judged his comments to be worthy of their own full-length post. I present those comments here with minimal editing and cleanup...

Leave the flag alone

My little sister, being considerably more emotional and therefore more liberal than I am, sent me a link to a write-up by a chap named Ta-Nehisi Coates in the wake of the church slaying down in Charleston, demanding the immediate removal of the Confederate flag from...

Societal Programming isn’t the whole story

The irrepressible Blackdragon put up a rather interesting post recently addressing, among other things, the question of why society is more messed up than a football bat when it comes to the differences between the way men treat men, versus the way they treat women:...

Trans-imf***ingretarded-ism

Too soon? Obviously, I’m rather late to this particularly ridiculous pile-up on the freeway of public stupidity, but this whole story about the President of a chapter of the NAACP being a white woman pretending to be black is just too funny: According to her...
