The Thugs of Antifa

Posted on August 15, 2017 | Comments Off on The Thugs of Antifa

The Mediacrats called them “counter-protestors.”

UPDATE:  Peter Beinart of the Atlantic: “The movement’s secrecy makes definitively cataloging its activities difficult, but this much is certain: Antifa’s power is growing. And how the rest of the activist left responds will help define its moral character in the Trump age.”

Trump comes close but still can’t say “Antifa”

Posted on August 15, 2017 | Comments Off on Trump comes close but still can’t say “Antifa”

“You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent, and nobody wants to say that, but I’ll say it right now. You had a group — you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit, and they were very, very violent,” the president continued.

Nice try, though. Good on ya, Mr. P.  You’re a reasonable man in a most unreasonable era. The Mediacrats will go crazy. Let them wallow in their fake news.

“Terror” in Charlottesville

Posted on August 15, 2017 | Comments Off on “Terror” in Charlottesville

That’s CNN’s headline, placed strategically over any “reports” on C-ville. Mostly anti-Trump commentary from the usual Dem suspects.

The way the Mediacrats are hammering away at it I begin to think this was a setup all along. The cops withdrawn. The national guard withheld.

Antifas wading in with their ax handle clubs against the outnumbered Unite the Right rally and subsequently vanished from the “reporting.” The source of the terror, but for the lone driver who killed a bystander who, if she had any sense, wouldn’t have been there in the first place.

At least her mother has the good grace to thank the president for condemning bigotry.

“Three dead,” because it makes a better headline. More terror. When two of the three died in a helicopter crash that could have happened anywhere anytime.

And it’s, somehow, all Trump’s fault. Hogwash. Mediacrat stuff and nonsense. Designed to divide. It’s doing that alright.

The drug crisis no one’s talking about

Posted on August 14, 2017 | Comments Off on The drug crisis no one’s talking about

A new study published in JAMA Psychiatry this month finds that the rate of alcohol use disorder, or what’s colloquially known as “alcoholism,” rose by a shocking 49 percent in the first decade of the 2000s. One in eight American adults, or 12.7 percent of the U.S. population, now meets diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorder, according to the study.

Particularly shocking after eight years of Hope and Change.

Extreme right and left clash

Posted on August 12, 2017 | 2 comments

I have mixed feelings about the Charlottesville, Virginia, event. Sorry for the loved ones of the dead, of course, especially the two state troopers who died in the helicopter crash.

But, otherwise, there’s nothing better than the two extremes dukin’ it out. Hard to feel much of anything for them, except mutual disdain. Happy if they came away mutually bloodied.

The car crash apparently was related to that old standby of Leftists: Stopping traffic. Hard to feel sorry for the one who was killed in that melee. Looks like, from the charges against him, that the driver was part of the extreme right. But for the fact that he was from out of town, he could have been just a pissed off motorist tired of Lefty protesters blocking his path.

Of course the Dem media is blaming Trump, tho the righties (dubbed “white supremacists” whether they were or not) ostensibly were pissed off about the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue. And Trump, to his credit, weighed in appropriately.  But, face it, nothing could satisfy the anti-Trump legions.

UPDATE: The Dem news media has gone nuts, blaming Trump for the “white supremacists,” daring to protest—never mentioning antiFa or Black Lives Matter for starting the riot. Meanwhile, Virginia ACLU notes, almost in passing, that the local cops were ordered to stand down and let events proceed.

MORE: “There was no police presence.” The Dem mayor and the state’s Dem governor apparently wanted a dustup. It was very similar to Berkeley, where antiFa showed up, the police disappeared and the violence ensued. These Dem pols like violence.

Dream advice

Posted on August 11, 2017 | Comments Off on Dream advice

Had a good dream last night that ended with a pretty young woman with lots of freckles saying something like this: “Ram Dass, he is the wisest of the wise.”

So all day I kept reminding myself to go to Amazon and look up one of his books. I finally did it and bought, appropriately enough, his 2000 tome “Still Here: Embracing Aging, Changing and Dying,” Appropriate because I’m 73 and not getting any younger.

Ram Dass (birth name Richard Alpert who, along with Timothy Leary, pioneered the use of LSD for spiritual enlightenment) is now 87 years old, which makes me a baby to him, more or less. Fifteen years younger.

Yet, although I have never read his seminal book “Be Here Now,” we share a common philosophy: That we are all spiritual beings, eternal souls, living a physical existence until our physical bodies die. At which point our souls will return home. Until, perhaps, we take on another go round with the physical.

Death, in other words, is a door, not a wall. But what to do in the meantime? That’s the point of Ram Dass’s teachings in his many books. “Many of us spend our lives worrying,” he writes in Still Here, “about losing what we have. Old age offers the opportunity to shift our cares away from the physical [what he calls the “storm of youth”] toward what cannot be taken away: Our wisdom and the love we offer to those around us.”
