The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Trey Gowdy Is Well Worth Your Time

by Smitty Not present, but looming large during this: Senator Tim Scott. Trey speaks on themes present in his book with Scott. A very timely speech with plenty of Biblical allusions. Hope to see Gowdy continue in public service. via JoanOfArgghh

RIP, Senator John McCain

by Smitty Stacy will doubtless have a more eloquent word at this difficult time. Cancer is a horrific way to go. May the Lord rest his soul and strengthen his family. His centrist, bi-partisan stances were very often controversial. But this is not the time to dig up old bones. I do hope that he […]

Ode To Overlingering

by Smitty Sometimes no matter what you do, You find yourself an unfortunate tree, Whose decades, though more than a few, Will end both soon and a-brupt-ly. When sprout you did, all was so good, Weather fair and danger far, None to say that flee you should, As danger was a distant star. Closer it […]

I’m Pretty Sure That InfoWars And Gab Aren’t Signs Of A Crackdown

by Smitty First, the recent unpleasantness with the redirect appears to have been caused by some Memorandum code that was likely out of date. Maintenance happens.

You should read the whole thing, lads, but focus on growing up ahead of, rather than through, such self-inflicted wounds. Let’s review: 1. Beauty fades It transitions, certainly. but I have seen plenty of […]

Adolphology for the Godwin-Win

by Smitty Soopermexican was riffing on the Sarah Sanders ejection story. But if you’re going to cross the line on Godwin’s Law, why not broad jump the thing? Twitter teaches us very important things like only Hitler would have tossed someone out of his restaurant and also if you don’t kick someone out of your […]

Fire Bogus Idiots
Fomenting Blatant, Irredeemable,
Flagrant Betrayals–Immediately!

by Smitty Have we had enough rectal sunsine yet? Mollie Hemingway offers a relatively calm depiction of the kidney-load down the back that the Deep State would have us believe is merely a summer drizzle. Oh, did I say “Deep State”? We’ve still got those who are incapable of seeing the forest for the trees: […]

Tyler O’Neil Strives To Paint Corey Stewart As A White *YAWN* Supremacist

by Smitty Another primary, another strident nominee, another round of Seals & Crofts fans rushing to denounce the Terrifying Specter of a Republican Candidate with a Backbone. Crimes: 1. “The candidate took an uncompromisingly positive position about symbols of the Confederacy during last year’s campaign.” The statues had been there for generations. While communities should […]
