New York Post headline: Gaining power hasn’t made the left any less insane
Marcus Aurelius from The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”
Permalink & CommentWhile America, and much of the world, chases Covid-19 vaccines, at who knows what astronomical costs, the country of India has begun selling Home Covid-19 Treatment Kits at the cost of $1.74 U.S. (127.50 Rupees). The kits include Ivermectin pills, Zinc acetate, and Doxycycline.
This information has been available since October 2020. The world’s so called “Experts” are ignoramuses.
Permalink & CommentOn December 19th, 2020, I put up a post about Ivermectin, noting not only its efficacy against the Chinese batflu (Covid-19), but that individuals could DIY treat themselves with Ivermectin purchased OTC at their local Tractor Supply or Farm & Fleet store.
Today, I note that the NIH has acknowledged Ivermectin’s efficacy against the Chinese batflu, and is allowing its utilization against Covid-19 (Chinese batflu), which was highly recommended by the doctors associated with the Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) back in December 2020.
Not exactly a warp speed acknowledgement by the NIH.
Permalink & CommentAs of today, the United States military has only 2,500 military troops in Afghanistan. Also as of today, it is being reported that there are currently over 20,000 troops in Washington D.C., and the number is apparently growing. Must be a dangerous place for a true American to be. Here’s a timeline of the growing troop deployment in Washington D.C..

Permalink & CommentA couple of days ago, Chris Muir published a Day By Day cartoon which commented on the seeming descent into cuckservatism of Glenn Reynolds’ site InstaPundit. Glenn Reynolds responded by posting these words, “Don’t go crazy people. They want you to go crazy.”
I’ll note that in all the years I’ve been reading InstaPundit posts, I never really noted the contributors as being especially conservative, with the exception currently of maybe Sarah Hoyt. A good many of the posts at InstaPundit over the years have been supportive of more government spending and oversight, rather than a denouncement and refutation of of government interference in the private sector, amongst other displays of love of government in individuals’ lives.
In today’s atmosphere of censoring of conservative voices, I think InstaPundit will receive a pass from the current gatekeepers, and possibly be held up by the censors as a model of a good and docile media platform, kind of like what used to be called a “token black.” Of course this censor hall pass will not fare well with actual liberty loving free men.
Permalink & CommentI admire and respect President Trump because he fights for America. In a sense President Trump was making a one man stand in Washington D.C. during his presidency, and I acknowledge that fact, but, if Biden is in fact installed as president, Trump’s emphatic statement that “He caught them all,” will be remembered as just so much hot air, and this quote from Thucydides will be fully applicable to President Trump.
“When one is deprived of ones liberty, one is right in blaming not so much the man who puts the shackles on as the one who had the power to prevent him, but did not use it.”

Via Daily Pundit, who also links to this piece titled What’s the Point?, which is also worth your consideration.
Permalink & CommentWith today’s news that wholesale deplatforming by Twitter, Facebook, and other Big Tech platforms of conservative voices is occurring, most notably President Donald J. Trump’s Twitter account, and the abject lies continuing to emanate from the mainstream media institutional propagandists, America’s prospects for continued freedom indeed appear dark and foreboding. I am of the opinion that these deplatforming actions illustrate the fear that supporters of socialist/fascist factions within the United States are experiencing of being discovered and held to account for the evils they are perpetrating upon America and the world.
As a follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose anger is rising at the political evils daily being brazenly perpetrated upon America, at times I become discouraged. John C Wright considers all this in a post titled A Word of Encouragement, which is well worth your time in reading. Here are a few excerpts for your consideration.
“Things look dark. We live in an Empire of Lies, where all the publicly controlled information has been corrupted to the point where nothing can be trusted, not even basic information. The deception is at times blatant and at times subtle. At times, it is so subtle that even a trained skeptic on his guard can be deceived, and unwittingly adopt the assumptions language of the enemy, and spread his ideas.”
…
“There were several venues which could have examined and publicized and rectified such fraud: an independent judiciary, culminating the Supreme Court; local election officials, state officers, governors; state legislatures; police agencies, including the Department of Justice and the FBI; the Electoral College itself; the Congress; the Vice President, in his office as president of the Senate.
All these venues have failed, and failed outrageously.
All have betrayed the Constitution, the Union, and the dreams of this nation.”
…
“These dark days, these treasons, these lies, all had to be brought into the light. There are men I would have thought to be friends and staunch allies of patriotism, of the Constitution, of the cause of freedom, who strangled their own ideals, and stabbed friends and allies in the back, in a fashion none could have foreseen nor expected.”
…
“In this hour, there is no worldly sign of hope.
Logically, that means either that there is no hope, or it means worldly signs are not trustworthy. Take your pick.
Do not mistake the point of my story. I am not saying any mortal man is a messiah or anything like that.
I am saying the opposite. Place no faith in princes, for they will fail you. Put no faith in institutions, laws, promises uttered by any Son of Adam. No mortal is the messiah. Mortals cannot save.
But neither place your faith in what the powers of the world tell you, or what the uncertain evidences of the senses seem to suggest.
I am reluctant to say it, for I am eager for bloodshed, but let us likewise place no faith in the courage and zeal of patriots eager for rebellion to set right by force of arms these grave injustices.
Let us be still and wait upon the Lord.
Our weapons are meant to defend the innocent when the police come to the door at midnight without a warrant.”
I recommend reading Wright’s entire post.
Permalink & CommentWhen one reads a headline such as this, Calls intensify to remove Trump from office even as he acknowledges ‘a new administration’, as published by the Washington Post, after the events in Washington D.C. on January 6th and certification of Uncle Joe as the next president, it makes one wonder if President Donald J. Trump is going to keep his most important promise to the American people. I’m skeptical, but there is no way America will be great, now or again, if President Trump does not keep this important promise.

Boy, those Republicans in the Senate, they really stick to their principles, for hours at a time.
