Nick Tiller’s categories ‘liar’ and ‘bullshitter’ aren’t different enough to make a difference to me. I’d call them ‘trumped-up’ categories.

That was a powerful poem, Reg. The last three lines contrasting the fluffy precedent ones is quite dramatic. Thanks!

Thanks, Reg!

At least the swamp is getting cleaned out! On the bright side, there seems to be a few leopards roaming about 🙂

Look how long it took for gays and lesbians to…[Read more]

This is what 4 of Trump’s agency picks think of the departments they would lead.

At Costco’s annual meeting on Thursday, 98 percent of shareholders rejected an anti-D.E.I. proposal, according to preliminary vote results. The vote came two days after President Trump released an executive order directing government agencies to investigate D.E.I. programs at publicly traded corporations.

President Trump said on Friday that he had terminated taxpayer-financed security protection for Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the infectious disease specialist who led the nation through the coronavirus pandemic and received death threats after becoming a target of conservatives.

The move, which took effect on Thursday might, made Dr. Fauci the latest…[Read more]

I listed Douglas Murray’s book, The Madness of Crowds in a past Sunday School post. Here is a review of it that covers most of the above conversation. The whole book is worth reading.
