Gratifying, and disappointing, at the same time

I think it's wonderful that President Trump is attending the March for Life, but I was surprised (and somewhat disappointed) to learn that he's the first president ever to speak at the event.

Really? Reagan, the two Bushes, none of them made a personal appearance? Maybe they spoke over a live feed from the White House or something, I don't know. But it is interesting to see how Trump is truly accumulating conservative bona fides, which is the one nagging thing that initially bothered me about when he was running for office (whether he would default to his Big City liberal origins). And based on some clips I've heard, his comments represented an impassioned call for a renewed respect for life and for a more robust defense of the freedom of religion.

Kurt Schlichter's gift for combining comic metaphors with genuine political analysis is rare, indeed.

Leftists decided to put all their efforts into grabbing the reins of government in that formerly not-terrible state, dumping tons of money into it and counting on the incompetence of the Virginia Republican Party plus the lassitude of many Virginians. See, a lot of people stayed home in 2018, and this is what you get. Remember, Hitler got into power following an election.

No, I’m not saying that your governor is Hitler, only that Hitler would dig his fashion sense.

Update: And when it comes to serving as the Rock of Gibraltar of sanity, few can compare with Mark Steyn.

Readers ask for my view of the impeachment trial. I had a very good view of the last impeachment trial - from a largely empty Senate press gallery, the US media collectively agreeing from about Day Three or Four that the whole thing was a crashing bore, notwithstanding the oral sex and cigars and "distinguishing characteristics". Not like a phone call to Kiev, is it?

Nevertheless, this time I'm the one disinclined to follow along. The left, being not terribly imaginative, always accuse you of what they're doing themselves. So, in this case, President Trump is charged with interfering with the 2020 election by men who have been interfering with the 2016 and 2020 elections for over three-and-a-half years now. Which is why we have the preposterous spectacle of four Democrat presidential candidates preparing to vote to remove from office the guy they're running against.

The trouble with Lindsey Graham

He's like a semi-automatic pistol that jams at the most inopportune times: "Lindsey Graham Congratulates Adam Schiff: 'Good Job, You’re Very Well Spoken'”.

Update: You're being watched, Schiff-Head!

National Review is on its deathbed

Via Ace's sidebar, Jonah Goldberg persists in his "A plague on both houses, but mostly Trump's" approach to the impeachment. When one compares the earlier contributors to National Review (many of genuine historical significance) with the majority of the current crop, one can only shake one's head in regret at the precipitous decline of a once-valuable conservative magazine.

People, institutions, civilizations are born, they live, struggle and adapt, and they ultimately deteriorate and perish, because man is imperfect, weak and self-destructive. These cycles of birth and death can offer us valuable lessons if we use our thought-boxes appropriately. Goldberg's increasing irrelevance is not, in and of itself, really very important, but the decline of such reputation as he once possessed is a good object lesson for the rest of us to constantly be on the lookout for the intellectual fraudulence that so frequently lurks beneath the veneer of unexamined "expertise" in the world of the talking heads and the inveterate scribblers of political and cultural pronunciamentos.

Jerry the Hut

Jerry "The Nadless" Nadler apparently let his hackery carry him so far out of bounds that Adam Schiff-Head deprived him of any further Q&A time.

Elsewhere, President Trump weighed in with the (accurate) observation that Nadler is a "sleazebag". So refreshing, incidentally. George W. Bush would have suffered himself to be dragged out of the White House and burned at the stake on the south lawn rather than uttering such an uncollegial remark.

Adam Schiff is such a reprehensible, dishonest, arrogant fellow that words fail me in attempting to describe this obscene caricature of a crooked politician. By all means, give it a go in the comments section if you like.

I guess anything's possible

"Hard to Believe, but AOC Is Getting Even Dumber".

Here's the latest smoky emission of cognitive backfiring from her overtaxed brain stem: "'We don't have a left party in the United States. The Democratic Party is not a left party,' she said, receiving applause from the audience. 'The Democratic Party is a center or a center-conservative party.'”

As an utterance presumably purporting to represent an empirical observation, this is too stupid to require analysis. On a psychological level, maybe she harbors dreams of becoming an American version of the bloodthirsty old Spanish Communist Dolores Ibárruri (a/k/a "La Pasionaria").

Like trying to ignore a migraine headache

Hillary Clinton, the biggest political failure of the age, is still out there raving. Jonathan Turley:

One of the most curious things to watch after the 2016 election was the unrelenting reclamation project called Hillary Clinton. It seems the unending work of powerful figures in the Washington and Hollywood establishment. The project now has a name: “Hillary.” It is the latest documentary on Hulu that seeks to show how Hillary was a victim of sexism but remains the oracle of our age. The work was the brainchild of producer Howard T. Owens and Washington power broker Robert Barnett who represents Clinton. Barnett offered undisclosed footage as an enticement for another effort to repackage Clinton’s historic loss to Trump. The film by Nanette Burstein apparently will be largely devoid of critical voices, except Hillary’s of course. Lashing out at her critics, she takes particular aim at Bernie Sanders who she seems to blame for ruining her coronation but making the 2016 Democratic primary competitive. In an ironic projection, she declares that “no one likes Bernie” — a curious view since it took the help of the DNC to rig the primary against his surging support in 2016.

Close one

My last post from yesterday came close to being my last ever.

That's right: I went to an IKEA store yesterday. First time in the place, Mrs. Paco and I wanted to get #1 Son a little dining table (eating arrangements have generally featured some combination of the coffee table and our laps). The place was massive, with acres of parking lot and a parking deck, to boot. We arrived just as the store was opening, and I saw plenty of spaces near the entrance - but it turned out those weren't for the likes of us. Signs read, "Disabled only", "Veterans", "Families of veterans", "Employee of the Month", and the cryptic "Manager of Tertiary Parking" (not sure what that was, or why it needed its own manager).

So, we wound up parking a little farther away than I had anticipated. And once inside, we saw how devilishly cunning these Swedes really are. It took us awhile to find the dining furniture, having blundered first into "Returns" and one of the store's two cafes. Once we tracked down our quarry, it became clear that closing the deal was not going to be that simple. We had to go find the downstairs warehouse where they keep the boxed furniture, locate the item and load it on to a cart. I made the mistake of following the exit signs in an attempt to leave the dining-table section and find the warehouse area. As it turns out, these signs very cleverly forced me to walk through practically every section of the huge second-floor showroom; no doubt it's set up that way to encourage people to buy more stuff than they originally had planned on purchasing.

The whole thing was only marginally easier than escaping from Alcatraz. Still, the table and chairs were very economically priced, we Mrs. Paco had little trouble putting the things together, and #1 Son and Maggie find the table and chairs to be a definite improvement over the old system, so I guess the experience was worth it all (once, anyway).

Go for it!

The President took out one of the leading terrorists in the world (more than one, actually); precipitated World War III, which lasted a couple of hours and apparently killed nobody but the truly unfortunate people who were in an airliner that was probably shot down by Iran in a panic; and has shown the world that the Iranian theocracy is essentially a paper tiger that has gotten away with murder and international mayhem on a huge scale simply because so-called leaders in the west permitted it to do so.

While this is not as emphatic or potentially confrontational as declaring sanctuary status, in which, typically, local law enforcement is directed to ignore enforcement provisions of new gun control laws, it is good to get the city council of the state's largest municipality on record as openly supporting Second Amendment rights. One cannot imagine the Deep State enclaves of Arlington or McClean going even this far.

Kurt Schlichter: "The Trump Doctrine Humiliates Both Foreign Enemies and Domestic Liberals".

See, Trump made it clear he was not playing. There would be no Benghazi II: Bagdad Boogaloo on his watch, and he acted well before 13 hours ran on the clock. Rejecting the elite’s preferred model of craven submission to every Third World cretin with a grievance and a camera, the Trump administration flew some Apache gunships over the crowd of unwashed morons, kicking off some flares, and generally sending the unequivocal message that if those SOBs had a problem, the AH-64s had a 30mm solution.

I wonder which Democrat will try to claim it

"Iran Puts $80M Bounty on Trump’s Head for Soleimani Hit".

I keep remembering the first couple of years that followed Saddam Hussein's capture, when anti-American forces regrouped in Iraq, and when Iranians were providing fairly sophisticated IEDs that killed and maimed hundreds of American troops, and George Bush, who gave the impression of being in paralytic mode, did nothing concrete to counter the specific Iranian threat (and, of course, Obama followed up with his inscrutable belief in Iran's trustworthiness and negotiated a half-assed nuclear deal which included the sweetener of hundreds of millions of dollars in cash shipped to these savages on pallets on a cargo plane). So I am delighted that President Trump has smacked the mullahs' regime, and smacked it hard. Iran may retaliate, but the country has, in fact, been "retaliating" for 40 years. The only thing different now is that the U.S. is governed by a President who isn't interested in playing the kind of complicated games involved in the pursuit of a bogus realpolitik.

Anybody who can serve in government for more than 40 years and accomplish absolutely nothing should be able to learn to code

What a pathetic fellow!

Former Vice President Joe Biden suggested Monday that displaced coal miners should learn to code.

“Anybody who can go down 3,000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well,” Biden said at a New Hampshire event Monday. He added later: “Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God’s sake!”

On second thought, I think coding is quite outside the scope of his abilities. Truth to tell, when he loses, either in the primaries or in the general election, he'll never have to work at all. I'm sure he has managed to enrich himself during 40 years of inside-the-beltway grifting.

George Soros - literally playing God

Here's an insightful article by Daniel Greenfield that goes a long way toward explaining the motives of a genuinely evil man.

If God was merely a human invention, as George and his father believed, why couldn’t he be a god? The more wealth and power Soros amassed, the more he could play god in his godless world.
