This song becomes more meaningful to me every year as I get older…but only today did I realize it came out 35 years ago! I know, I know – some of you heathens don’t like Rush. But that is a serious moral failing on your part, not mine:
The knives are being sharpened – more and more MSM stories pondering if Pudding Brain is too old. He was, of course, too old in 2020. Heck, in 2008 when Barry picked him, he was too old. For goodness sake, he was only picked because Team Obama knew nobody would ever move against Obama to make Biden President. But, really, he’s got to go: he’s delaying his Middle East trip – seriously – because he has to rest up after his European trip. Meanwhile, Trump is barnstorming around the country giving speeches.
We either made a serious mistake in 2020 or are the victims of the biggest rip off in human history (Spoiler: it was a rip off).
On the other hand, if the Democrats hadn’t cheated in 2020 they’d be heading for a solid mid-term victory in 2022 and a likely strong Trifecta in 2024. As it is, at best Joe is polling around 40% and the Democrats might be heading for generational wipe out. And not only that – they’re going to be defeated by a GOP which is vastly more MAGA than it was in 2020 and which is already firmly engaging in the Culture War.
This could get real painful for them. I’ll shed a tear when I find the time.
But it has to get painful for them – and every more painful. Here’s the story of a elderly man who was beaten to death by feral savages let loose by Democrat policy in New York City. And, remember, the Democrats did this on purpose. Don’t let them off the hook. It isn’t a mistake. It isn’t an unintended consequence: they want this level of crime of violence to punish us for being American. Because we’re racists and sexists and we’re too rich and we are too powerful and blah, blah, blah whatever the heck it is the Left is whining about. But, do note that the victim here is a black man.
In case you were wondering what a real insurrection looks like, here’s Sri Lanka where they’ve chased the government out of power and burned the Prime Minister’s house. It all started because Sri Lanka’s Ruling Class wanted to curry favor with the Global Ruling Class, so they essentially destroyed Sri Lanka’s economy in the name of living Green. Turns out people with out food get rather angry.
So, how are the store shelves in your area?
Paranoid conspiracy interlude: I’ve seen the stories of food processing facilities going up in smoke in the past few months. Wonder: is someone in the Ruling Class trying to create shortages which will lead to revolt which they think they can crush once and for all? Do not put this sort of thing past them: remember, the dying Czarist Ruling Class got Russia into both the Russo-Japanese War and World War One on the theory that chaos and destruction would also them to continue to rule.
If you’ve never seen the movie Zulu, you should do so. Here’s a write up explaining why. I like it because it is a soldier’s story and while war is hideous, we must never take away the glory of those who stand up to it and do their duty. There’s a scene in the movie just before the first Zulu attack where a young and obviously very frightened soldier asks “why us?” To which the old sergeant replies – as old sergeants have probably replied for thousands of years – “because we’re here and there isn’t anybody else”. Because we’re here – it is why we do our duty in any field.

The documentary on Rush is one of the best I have ever watched. Three really good guys who put out some amazing music.
… is someone in the Ruling Class trying to create shortages which will lead to revolt which they think they can crush once and for all?
I put nothing past these people. They did cheat and steal the 2020 election and they did lie about a flu virus and vaccine, so they will do anything. My faith in mankind has been seriously shaken the last couple of years. The blatant and transparent lies that we hear every day – I just never thought man would be so cunning and dishonest BUT history is filled with men like this and here we are … in the middle of it
It is time for drastic measures. Our current illegitimate government (which includes many Republicans) and the corporate media are propagating lies and changing the landscape of this country everyday and we need to put a stop to it ASAP.
I’ll leave this here and then wait for Forty to make up more excuses. But but but, “John Sullivan says he’s not a member of Antifa” LOL

I read the whole report and it is fascinating and informative. There is such a vast amount of information like this out there, I’d love to see it all collated and organized into a coherent format.
One theme I am seeing is good people trying to do the right thing and finding themselves in the middle of a big mess that can and sometimes does rebound upon them. These Proud Boys are one example: Kyle Rittenhouse another. Even George Zimmerman.
Whoa! Back up there a little bit, Skippy. Now not agreeing with you about a musical group is a “serious moral failing”?
Or did you forget to use the sarc font?
I found this letter to the editor fascinating.
This is an inadvertent admission of so many things the Left has been denying—so much so that I’ve even wondered if it is a false flag submission by a conservative. The title given to the letter in the Casper Star Tribune (which I call the Casper Red Star Tribune, an AP puppet with strong Left-leaning tendencies) is THE TIME FOR PROGRESSIVES TO ACT IS NOW but until the last sentence it really seems to be much more of an outline of the Left’s climb to power and the reaction of conservatives by building true political might.
Basically, as I go over this I find myself confused, as I agree with every word until the last sentence, which seems like an afterthought.
Editor:
The fundamental, long-term rationale of a host of the recent SCOTUS decisions is to reduce the power of the courts to decide matters that, from SCOTUS’s point of view, should be decided by citizens.
Democrats, we should see this as an opportunity to begin regaining genuine political power.
Over the last few decades, the progressives in our party have mostly engaged in merely symbolic politics: demonstrating, screeching about identity issues and policing cultural products for any deviation from the progressive catechism. Progressives might have shaped the legacy media, the universities, the entertainment industry and the tech industry in their image, but this is cultural, not political, power.
While progressives have used their cultural visibility to sneer at the socially conservative values held by well over half of the country, Republicans have accumulated genuine political power by slowly and steadily working to win right-leaning representation in legislatures at the city, county, state and federal levels.
The existence of Republican legislative strongholds is one reason progressives are worried about the SCOTUS decisions directing decision-making power toward elected legislators and away from the judiciary. The more progressives have lost law-making power, the more they’ve relied on the law-enacting power of the courts, at all levels, to institute their vision. Now that that’s slipping away, they understandably feel helpless.
The SCOTUS decisions might not bode well for left-leaning citizens in the near term. But they have created an opportunity for Democrats to gain political power the proper way and for the long term: not through the luck of favorable judicial fiat but through on-the-ground coalition-building around common material interests.
It could just be like our local Leftist rag. The more your letter echoes the Progressive POV, the more likely it is to be published. Conservative letters are rarely published, and when they are the Lefties pile on in a vicious manner. I’ve often been tempted to write a similar letter to our paper because 3 of the last 4 I’ve submitted weren’t published. None of them were nasty or condescending, just calling out hypocrisy, mostly from previous Progressive letters.
The more I look at this one the more I like it. I bit, at first, and wrote a scathing anti-Prog comment, but went back and deleted it and instead commented on the brilliance of this one getting past the editors with a description of Leftist tactics.
Maybe you should steal some of these ideas, just be sure to use the title the Trib used.

Posted a great tweet—-don’t know enough about Twitter to know how to find it but it supports what we have been saying here about media manipulation
“This is why Elon didn’t buy twitter.”
Elon Musk
@elonmusk
has a hysterical photo montage about Musk and Twitter
Very interesting what’s going on with Twitter. The Board of Twitter desperately wants to complete this deal because I think they all know how over valued Twitter actually is. Case in point, MSNBC claims to have 4.7 million followers, yet on any given post, they only muster a couple hundred likes. even on relevant posts that have been up for several hours. The Bot population on Twitter is huge and once exposed, will permanently hurt that company and Musk may be able to buy 25 cents on the dollar.

Your link is broken. Interesting — if you Google (or Duck, Duck, Go) Ray Epps Twitter, you get a bunch of hits, all of which have been scrubbed. Deep State anyone?
Through several different administrations John Bolton was someone I respected and admired. He seemed to have a better grasp of the global geo-political scene than most, and articulated it well, so I chalked up the bitter split between him and Trump as just a conflict of personalities. The first tiny red flag came in a Trump speech shortly before he fired Bolton when Trump said something like, if John had his way, we’d just nuke everyone. It looks like John Bolton had a side that he kept hidden from the public.
You do wonder, don’t you? I mean, what have we really been doing this past 80 years since the end of WWII? Everyone knows that Pinochet’s coup was aided by the CIA…how many others? But, also, how many were actually successful? Pinochet’s was but that seems to be because Pinochet knew what the heck he was doing. Far as I can tell, most of the time we’ve orchestrated coups it was to put someone in charge who would do as they were told. You think about our assist in getting rid of Diem only to be shacked to Thieu in Vietnam. We know we helped install the current Ukrainian government…which, MSM propaganda aside, is totally losing the war.
Mark July 21st on your calendar. It’ll be interesting to see if Russia reopens Nordstream 1 following maintenance, delays reopening, or keeps it closed indefinitely. Germany may be a chilly place to live come next winter.
Words don’t or can’t describe how much I dislike Biden. Whoever thought we would have a pedophile for President? While all the communist countries of the world play him like a fiddle. I’d like to some big man grab him by the neck and just squeeze until his eyes pop out.
I read a bit where the Germans are working on how to use wood to heat their homes this winter…meanwhile, the German’s have centuries of coal sitting in the ground in the Rhineland. And they turned off their nuke plants.
Germany, as I’ve said, was a mistake.
