My mom is ill (we think she will be OK) and I’m going to be visiting her for the next week. My presence will be absent. See you guys in a week. I should add that I have lined up some music I like. So check back. To get you started:

Republican Adam Kinzinger says that he can’t support Trump. Good for him. Because he is currently my Rep and a staunch Prohibitionist. So I can’t support him. Evidently the Democrats are not going to make a fight of the 16th District Kinzinger represents. So my alternative is Libertarian Joseph Schreiner. I have no idea who…

There may be earlier examples of globalism than the one I’m presenting. Anti-slavery for instance. But these are the first globalist rules that I’m aware of that nearly every nation in the world has, through treaties, subscribed to. Let us start with who got the ball rolling. Beginning in an era of morally tainted racism…

HotGas has an article about the political re-alignment that is currently taking place. As usual the comments are where all the good discussion is going on. But most interesting is a Breitbart post that explains one of the reasons for the realignment. And it is not a political reason. It is a technical one. A…

Hillary still has an e-mail problem. But she did not lie about it because in her mind she told the truth. Which telling continually changed. Now that it turns out none of those statements was true, Clinton’s new position is that she “had no reason to believe that those emails were classified.” Clinton’s campaign manager,…

I was rereading The History of the Non-Medical Use of Drugs in the United States. It is the text of a speech given by Charles Whitebread, Professor of Law at the USC Law School, before the California Judges Association at their 1995 Conference. He also gave a similar speech at the FBI Academy. The text…

A mobster confesses. Brandt explained: ‘Hoffa was Sheeran’s friend but you didn’t defy orders. If he hadn’t killed him he’d have been shot himself. He said the mafia was upset because Hoffa hadn’t shown enough gratitude over Dallas. ‘I realized he was talking about the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963. It was always rumoured…

NSA has all of Hillary’s deleted e-mails. The National Security Agency (NSA) has “all” of Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails and the FBI could gain access to them if they so desired, William Binney, a former highly placed NSA official, declared in a radio interview broadcast on Sunday. Speaking as an analyst, Binney raised the possibility…

From Red Alert Politics. Donald Trump’s trip to Colorado unsurprisingly included some questions about legalizing marijuana. In an interview with NBC affiliate 9NEWS, reporter Brandon Rittiman asked if Trump supported Colorado’s decision to legalize recreational marijuana. “You think Colorado should be allowed to be doing what it is doing?’ Rittiman asked. “I think it’s up…

Commenter hmi has left a link which disputes a quote I have been using a lot. I started to ask Ehrlichman a series of earnest, wonky questions that he impatiently waved away. “You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and…

Written in 1935 by Albert J. Nock The general reason is that when in any department of thought a person has, or thinks he has, a view of the plain intelligible order of things, it is proper that he should record that view publicly, with no thought whatever of the practical consequences, or lack of…

You can get two bumper stickers for a donation of any amount at Grassfire.

PC has not killed race relations. The Drug War has. What does the Drug War do? It makes blacks insecure because Prohibition finances Black gangs. It makes every Black a suspect thus eroding respect for police. And all this is the result of how we fought the last insurgency in the Black community. That one…

Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign chairman says Police Shootings, Lawlessness Result of ‘Failed Leadership’. What Manafort fails to ask is why there is a population out there susceptible to anti-police rhetoric. Is there something wrong?

Is Obama holding back Hillary’s wandering hand?

Breitbart reminds me that I haven’t been getting the links out. A speaker at a massive Black Men for Bernie Sanders rally near the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia told the crowd on Wednesday to “watch the movie Clinton Cash.” “It’s a movie. It’s about Hillary Clinton. And it’s free, they’re not even charging you…

I was just thinking about something I know and suddenly the meaning of it became clear. I went from knowing to understanding. I think. Humans are political animals. They are designed for small (10 to 150) group interaction. In this later day we have somewhat expanded the idea of “group” to people all over the…
