All the Secrets of the Universe and Some Really Important Stuff Too!
Regardless of the use to which it is being put, how can I not recommend an American Greatness post about the Twilight Zone. I wonder if I have a reader on the staff there?
So how did these three episodes do in my grading system?
Interestingly, the author said Walking Distance is his favorite episode of all. As I’ve said, to each his own even in the Twilight Zone.
I’m happy to say I haven’t thought of Kevin Williamson in many months but here is a cogent argument for why the globalist point of view doesn’t fit the human way of thinking about community and life in general.
Gonzalez hits on some of the more flagrant excesses of our rainbow overlords. And I thought the Supreme Court was conservative. Guess it’s too busy.
The knives are out among the leftist Twitter Mob for Tucker. They have some old clips of Carlson talking with one of the weird shock jocks and saying some edgy things. It will be interesting to see what Fox News will do. They aren’t exactly the bravest of men. Personally I think Carlson is a valuable asset for our side. I’d hate see him run out of town. Michael Anton agrees.
Codevilla reviews what he thinks the choices are for President Trump. Either deliver the Wall and Immigration Law enforcement or lose in 2020. He also discusses the bi-party ruling class and what part they play in our awful politics. No surprises here. Just the outline of what to look for going into the coming election cycle.
Conrad Black is a good friend of President Trump. And he is a very upbeat prognosticator of of our troubled times. But this little historical expedition to the French Revolution and de Gaulle’s 1968 power play are amusing and give an interesting comparison to the madness of the lunatic fringe of the Democrat party. Of course that fringe now encompasses the whole party so it’s an unusual situation. Fun to read.
Here’s a follow-up to the Flight 93 essay. Anton is always worth reading.
This was a development I hadn’t heard about. The leaders of France and Germany have agreed to join their foreign policies completely including France’s veto on the UN Security Council. In other words France and Germany will confer with each other and agree on a response whenever a third nation is in communication with either of the two. Considering that the present leaders of both France and Germany are both despised by their citizens I can only imagine this will enrage their voters even more. The line between the people and the elite is becoming a glowing flashpoint.
When American Greatness starts quoting the Z-Man by name the apocalypse can’t be far behind. The Z-Man has often made the point that the Progressives of today are the direct descendants of the “vinegar drinking scolds of New England hell bent on making sure nobody is enjoying life at all. Christopher Roach quotes a chunk of his Puritan origin argument and then amplifies his own opinion about how this will prevent a peaceful separation of the United States into separate Left and Right populations.
It’s getting harder and harder to believe that some of the predictions of the Dissident Right are not correct. The normies are waking up. The Overton Window is way over to the right.
The subject of this post may seem slight in the scheme of things but in my opinion it gets to the heart of how a Conservative Supreme Court can reverse some of the worst of the damage done by unconstitutional judicial overreach.
Karin McQuillan describes how in 1984 the Supreme Court decided that the experts in the federal government could decide on regulations that not even the courts could challenge. This was called the “Chevron deference.” This has allowed EPA scientists to dictate all manner of restrictions on private citizens and businesses for completely fraudulent reasons. Fake frogs and mythical mice have been used to punish land owners and restrict them from using their own land to satisfy the spite of misguided naturalists. Now the new Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have joined with Justice Thomas to take the lead to reverse the use of the Chevron deference and free the American people from their bureaucratic tyrants. It’s only a first step but it sets a precedent that can have bigger consequences. Progress.
