All the Secrets of the Universe and Some Really Important Stuff Too!
That’s clear and simple enough.
It's time to abandon ship and hit the lifeboats. @GavinNewsom and the CA Democrats ( and yes, half of the the moderate "Republicans") have destroyed the state, and made your children their property. Time to go. Leave them to it. https://t.co/XWVDD1frHf

This random dookie informs me that I’m a bigger problem than the pediatric transgender industry’s malpractice against children. Well, you learn something new every day.
Well, now I've got your opinion.

One of the few white men I’m glad to see DEI’d out of existence. She can’t possibly be any worse. Maybe he can get a gig doing pharma commercial voiceovers. Possibly for hemorrhoid creams. He reminds me of a hemorrhoid.
So they are replacing the cis-white-male with a strong independent female of color. You go girl! https://t.co/IM0aXjruJU

Lately I’ve been tired. Too much going on. Not enough time to get everything done. And when I’m tired, I think of the strangest things. Probably disorganized thought processes. Probably just free association rattling around in my head.
But I seemed to see a parallel between the way I am feeling and our world. Our civilization is tired. It’s slowing down. It’s like a pendulum that’s run out of momentum. The original impetus that got it going has been worn away by frictional losses and its motion is ebbing away. Soon it will stop. And once it stops something different and much less satisfactory will take its place. We won’t be marking time with the Newtonian clockwork precision of the pendulum. We’ll measure it by the frantic beat of our hearts as we run in panic from one disaster to the next.
All signs point to decay and the law of the jungle. The breakdown of law and order in the cities seems to be the new model. The weak will be at the non-existent mercy of the savage and ugliness will be the norm. This all follows the same pattern as past iterations. Rome had its Marius, Sulla, Caesar, Antony and Octavius. We have Clinton, Obama, Biden, Trump and DeSantis. These strange monsters appear around the landscape and strut their hour before being replaced by the next monster. The only thing that’s certain is that the progression is a devolution. Each character outdoes its predecessor in weirdness and in the amount of damage it will do to its surroundings.
Look at the absurd cast. We have the game show huckster. We have the richest man in the world. We have an ancient senile grifter whose bagman son is a drug-addled pervert. Soon we’re sure to have a man dressed as a woman running the world. And finally, we have the prospect that a superhuman artificial intelligence will commandeer our whole human enterprise and possibly pull the plug on all of us.
The more I look at all this the more certain I am that something has got to give. Somehow, somewhere, a portion of this dying world will break loose and make a new start. It’s just not reasonable to think that all the progress and energy that existed a generation ago has all been snuffed out. A civilization that could harness the atom and send rockets to the outer planets couldn’t just lay down and die, leaving nothing behind. Something will survive.
But I’m also very certain that the wreckage will be horrendous. For instance, the American cities look to be an almost total loss. Chicago is leading the way in rushing to meet its fate. They’ve recently chosen a new mayor who ran on a defund the police subtext. The recent murder of a policewoman by a couple of teenage thugs just highlights the new power structure in that city. The criminals have the upper hand and the city government won’t challenge them.
So, the death spiral continues apace and it will get much, much worse before it can even begin to get better. The only part that is difficult to predict is where and how a new civilization will appear. Maybe it won’t even be a western culture. China, India and a few other countries in Asia might hold the seeds to a future renaissance. But in the short term we will have to go through the whole passion play. Next up is the tyrant. Who will be our Caesar? Our Brutus? Or maybe we’ll skip ahead and Hunter Biden will be our Caligula. Only time will tell.
Today will be a day of frivolity and excess. Hopefully I’ll manage to contribute some content to the site but I intend to cast off the yoke of captivity and traipse around lightheartedly. I encourage all free men to do the same.
As can be seen in the satellite photo below, the Russians (in red) have almost completed the painfully slow process of ejecting the Ukrainians from Bakhmut by reducing the city to rubble via artillery bombardment. The Ukrainians are probably down to a few thousand soldiers with the bulk having already retreated out of Bakhmut to the nearby towns of Chasiv Yar and Ivanivske.
But supposedly the final stronghold is structurally reinforced and may even be hiding a tunnel system out of the city. Previously it was believed that this stronghold of tall apartment buildings was being held by some of the most battle-hardened professionals in the Ukraine forces. Whether that is still the case is unknown. But the fighting at this point may even be harder and bloodier than what came before in this already grueling battle.
The Ukrainians are attempting to hold onto the town until after May 9th which is the anniversary (in Russia) of the end of WWII in Europe. They want to deny Russia the propaganda boost that the date represents in the Russian mind. Looks like it could go either way.
After the end of the Bakhmut conflict it is widely believed that the Ukrainian counterattack will commence. Well, that is if the ground dries out sufficiently for heavy vehicles to move easily through the mud. Apparently the rain for the last couple of weeks has rendered the fields impassable. Hell of a war they’ve (or we’ve) got going there.
Well, now there’s no reason to watch Fox News anymore. It should be interesting to see how Carlson decides to go forward from here. I’m assuming he’s not hurting for money. He should probably start a channel on Rumble and put up a paywall. He’s one of the more interesting people in broadcasting. People will pay to get his content.
The other possibility is he goes into politics. That I see as more problematic. Politics is a very dirty game. If you don’t need to use it to make lots of dirty money it won’t be an interesting career.
I think Carlson could form some kind of relationship with the likes of Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, Salena Zito, Sharyl Attkisson and a few other real journalists to produce a media outlet that would provide the kind of reporting and opinion that can’t be found anywhere else in the media. They would have believability. That’s something that is so sorely lacking everywhere else.
If done right and without all the overhead that comes with a Fox News or a CNN, Carlson and a few reporters could break away from the dying landscape of network and cable news shows that no one needs or wants anymore. News and analysis. With the internet and a few resources like Rumble and maybe Elon Musk’s Twitter who needs studios and boardrooms?
Come to think of it, Carlson interviewed Musk last week. Maybe those two could strike up a deal where Tucker’s content was available exclusively on Twitter with some of it behind a paywall. It could make both of them a lot of money. And it could serve as a model for the future. I’ve heard that Musk wants to add a “substack” option to Twitter. Having someone like Tucker Carlson as his first big “channel” might be just the thing he needs to steer talent to his platform.
So anyway, Tucker’s “firing” could be a very opportune moment to start seeing a new journalism. Without the bloat of the dinosaur media, a cadre of people who want to tell interesting stories that have some resemblance to objective reality could provide a service that people would be willing to pay for. I, even I, would pay a little bit for that.
Now it’s also certain that all the usual suspects on the Left will be gunning for Tucker Carlson. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a target for the Justice Department’s attack dogs. Their hatred for him probably rivals how they feel about Donald Trump. After all he’s another traitor to his class. They’ve already once gone after his family at home. He had to move away from Washington to protect them. This is not a trivial threat. Hopefully he’s made enough money to be able to afford professional security services. But no one is safe from the abuse that the FBI can bring to bear. We’ll have to see whether these problems crop up for him.
Well, these are interesting times. Tucker Carlson has been the only truthful voice in mainstream news commentary. I hope that he will be able to find a way to continue shining a light on the criminal activities of the Washington regime. There isn’t any other voice out there that has both his reach and credibility. Hopefully someone like Musk who has the reach and also the money to set up a platform for him will come along and take advantage of this interesting opportunity.
The hot weather must have stirred up the blood of the youth of Chicago so they went on a rampage.
“Hundreds of teens cause fiery chaos in Downtown Chicago as they torch cars in rampage organized on social media: Vastly outnumbered police manage just 15 arrests.”
It appeared as if police were unable to handle the crowd and were seen escorting innocent bystanders and tourists to safety.
Mayor Lightfoot said while many of the young people gathered to have a good time and enjoy the weather, some were involved in ‘reckless, disrespectful and unlawful behavior.’
So burning cars, assaulting passersby and shooting each other is reckless and disrespectful. That’s a very revealing interpretation. What would it take for her to call it a riot, mass decapitations?
Lightfoot noted that Chicago police leadership has assured her they will ‘make the necessary adjustments to address these teen trends issues as we move into the summer months.’
But the most telling statement comes from the mayor-elect, Brandon Johnson:
“It is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities,” he said. “Our city must work together to create spaces for youth to gather safely and responsibly, under adult guidance and supervision, to ensure that every part of our city remains welcome for both residents and visitors.”
TRANSLATION:
Go ahead burn the city down I’ve got your back just keep voting for me and you can do whatever you like.
So this is before the new mayor takes office. Can you imagine what will be going on by Juneteenth? The devolution is moving along nicely. Maybe Mayor Johnson doesn’t even get through the first year of his term before he throws in the towel and calls for Illinois to enact martial law. Either way we’re getting a ringside seat to the next stage in Joe Biden’s America. Well, it’s a hell of a ride.
I stumbled across this video about whether Disney was planning to revive the Science Fiction series Firefly with the original cast. Even after watching this discussion I wondered if this thing is just clickbait.
Sure, there are millions of Firefly fans who would love to see the show resurrected. But how could it be done. From what I’ve read Joss Whedon has been #MeToo’ed out of Hollywood or something and it’s been twenty years since the show went off the air and the lead is involved in a successful tv series.
But put that aside. Suppose that it could be done. Suppose Nathan Fillion and the rest of the cast and Joss Whedon and his creative team from the original series could be reunited. There remains the question of whether it should be done. And by that I mean could Disney be trusted not to sabotage the whole thing by doing what they’ve done to Star Wars, The Avengers and every other intellectual property they buy?
I’ve got to be honest. I think they’d ruin it. Someway, somehow they’d corrupt the whole thing with the poison that they seem compulsively driven to inject in all their products. They’d have Malcolm Reynolds discovering that he was a victim of whiteness and Zoe would have to become captain to atone for his sins. And Jayne would end up transgendered and River would become a social justice warrior and Kaylee would have to go lesbian just to make the math work.
No, Disney should never try to bring Firefly back. If Whedon were able to buy the intellectual property back and do it without interference there might be a chance of it turning out decent. He could write some interesting stories for his world. But Disney would murder it. And that shouldn’t be done. Let that special place exist in the past. We can visit anytime we want with our dvds or streamed or on some network that loves good stories. But don’t give it to the soulless hacks at Disney. It deserves better than that.
1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 And they remembered his words,
9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
