Love this.  

The left has brought us identity politics. Only now whites are embracing it. It is almost like the folks who started the whole identity politics shtick can’t do math.

High Times to be exact. If you check out the comments at the link you will find more than a smattering of Republicans responding to the article. And denouncing Democrats. It didn’t used to be that way. Before the election I had documented another instance of this in High Times. It is not just a…

Republicans should be careful about believing they have a mandate. The mandate may be nothing more than, “we don’t want Hillary”

It looks like India has a money supply problem which will crash its economy in weeks. Today India is on the verge of a major social-political crisis, unless either the government backs off from the decision of banning the currency or some real magic happens. There is chaos in the streets and daily life is…

According to the ADL that makes me a member of the alt-right. So Wad’ya know? I’m a Jewish Zionist member of the KKK. According to the ADL. And in this day and age when promotions are so hard to get.

Remember when it was OK for anyone to make fun of anyone? I do. I grew up watching this racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic bigot: I used to think it was funny. (I also used to take the First Amendment for granted.) Now no one can make fun of anyone. To use a sexist homophobic…

kingsjester said: It is best to listen to those who elected you and to do what you promised in order to be elected again. And, marijuana is NOT harmless. Patrick is right about Colorado. The question on people’s minds is not “is marijuana harmless?” The question being brought forward – “Is marijuana more harmful than…

Commenter Doomberg over at HotGas said without a bit of irony: Nope. The Democrats ignored their critics and came very close to hitting one party rule in the US. Now it’s our turn to use the pen & phone to undo everything Obama has done. I’m done playing nice with liberals – we tried that…

I’m trying to figure out the electorate and it doesn’t compute. It is pro-pot and pro-Republican. Republican politicians are notoriously anti-pot. Any ideas?

“We don’t have to listen to you. We won.” Is the beginning of defeat. Hubris is inevitable. It is as old as humans. You might notice a considerable amount of it these days. I have even indulged in it myself. Over indulging in it is the seed of defeat. And it is only when you…

I haven’t said anything about him since he won, but Donald Trump has managed to piss off a man I cannot stand. A nice start.

Paul Krugman said shortly after Trump was elected: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was at a record high the very next day. ‘It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.’ – Yogi Berra

PepsiCo’s CEO said Trump’s election terrified her employees. Well just wait until all those Trump supporters switch to Coke. The Terrorification will be complete.

The Washinton Post and more than a few other publications are wringing their hands over what a Trump Administration means for cannabis law reform. There is one important statistic to keep in mind. Trump got 49% of the vote in Florida. Medical Cannabis got 71% of the vote. Update: 13 Nov 2016 0937z Some math…

A leftist rips the left. Very good stuff. Delicious. What is different about the right is that they already have been making changes to conform to the next face of the electorate. And it is way more libertarian. And the right is paying that some attention. I’m publishing stuff regularly at Conservative site Hot Gas.…

The video covers a Big Republican failing in the last election. Way too many Republicans believe Prohibition can work. Fortunately with the Refer Madness folks dying off, that is changing. Funny enough Republicans can’t do good economic analysis when it comes to Prohibition and Democrats can’t do a good economic analysis for anything else. The…

They lost State Houses and Governorships as well as the Presidency. They call it Down-Ballot Disaster for Democrats. And here is why: With the Republicans defending 24 seats, compared to 10 for the Democrats, the Democrats needed victories in a few key battlegrounds: Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.…

“Could this be the best year ever?” asks commenter KillerInstinct69. Legal Weed and Trump going to the White House. Cubs win the World Series. Could this be the best year ever?? Well it has had a few good points so far. But it is not over yet.
