(The BLOGGER problem continues to piss me off. I have no idea if they intend on fixing it).

Imagination and feeling "moves mountains"... Practical reasoning and common sense applies itself to those things that can really be done (and appreciates the mountains where they are).

When we are without imagination and feeling we are without art, music, and dreams... When we are without practical reasoning and common sense the real world drowns in false notions and withers upon its own foolishness.

When practical reasoning and common sense pretends to act from the heart, we get shitty art, and soulless artifacts. When imagination and feeling pretends to act for practical purpose we get chaos, sloth, and the rise of tyranny.

Feeling inspires imagination and practical reasoning inspires common sense.

Some are for some things and some for another. The real world would cease to function without either.

...Now, pay you bills, save your money, assist those in need, and listen to a good piece of music...preferably at an art museum and, by all means, don't pretend that half of reality is invalid because you've locked yourself into illusions or self-deprivation.

The real "Handmaid's tale" that feminist leftists don't seem to care much about.

Here we go.

Setting the record straight.

Wow! Chat GPT took my very lame amateure painting and turned it into a greatly refined version.

Wow!, they're in full-on coup mode.

The concocted oppression of Michelle Obama.

A bad day beneath Vesuvius.

Mamcommie "Democratic socialism" IS communism.

Marxist "education."

Always brilliant.

More fun and games from the CCP There really does need to be a joint effort on the part of free nations to put this evil institution out of business for good.

My artistic skill is pretty limited but I've found AI quite remarkable in taking simple sketches and refining them to a more professional look.

This blogger mess up is really becoming annoying. What could be a better symbol of the schisms within America’s political parties than Pennsylvania senator, John Fetterman? Fetterman, by most measures, is a liberal Democrat. In most legislation he votes a party line. But, this is where such distinctions end. Fetterman doesn’t hate America and he doesn’t hate America’s free market system. He doesn’t hate its history or its people. He doesn’t think that Donald Trump is a criminal that should be imprisoned on fabricated charges. Most noteworthy, he seems to appraise issues through a reasoned practical lense. He’s not at war with people he simply disagrees with. In addition to Fetterman’s values and behavior, it’s noteworthy how the public views him and it says a lot about them. The senator recently fell and was slightly injured. On social media and elsewhere, we’ll-wishing poured in wishing him a speedy recovery. By far, most of such well-wishing was from Republicans, conservatives, and — dare I say — MAGA. The right knows that Fetterman is “on the other side” but has also seen him to be an essentially decent person — a patriot. It’s beyond revealing that, in the split I discussed in my last post, the far left lunatics that have taken over Fetterman’s own party are noticeably not so sympathetic to his injury. These are the same leftist extremists that cheered on the murder of Charlie Kirk. Antifa and their violent excesses truly are the new voice of leftism in America. The traditional American political parties are becoming irrelevant as grand realignments are taking place that will likely crystalize into a polarity of those who favor America’s system of government and culture vs a Jacobin revolutionary clique that is globalist in nature and at war with the country itself — traditional American classical liberalism vs …communism (authoritarian collectivism). …a speedy recovery to the senator from Pennsylvania.

(messed up blogger situation - 'won't let me create paragraphs or refine the script to any degree) I find it curious that what was a bifurcated politics of discourse in America has taken on further fragmentations. Each side of the divide is currently undergoing further divisions. In the past, it was relatively easy to define Republican/Democrat or conservative/liberal but currently each side of those old dichotomies is simultaneously undergoing their own rebellions from within. Within the Republican/conservative side of the political spectrum a virtual war is errupting. The Trump/MAGA forces have gained influence while the old Neocon corpratist elements look on helplessly. A new catalyst to division has erupted — the position America should take regarding the state of Israel. Some of the biggest voices in what was a fairly unified conservative movement have taken to some pretty passionate positions. Conservative luminaries like Tucker Carlson, Candice Owen, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro et al. Have become noted adversaries over American allegiance to Israel. On one side, legitimate questions as to how much America should be involved in the affairs of what is essentially an old land dispute. People like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene are asking why American citizens should be allowing excessive influence from what is essentially a powerful lobby. If one says, “the Israeli lobby” it’s seen as inching towards anti-Semitism. Say, “the Jewish lobby” and your fate is sealed as an ally of Adolf Hitler. Take the position of people like Mark Levin or Ben Shapiro and one's belief in patriotism to America is somehow closely mingled with patriotism to Israel. Raising questions is forbidden. One shouldn’t dare imply that Ben Shapiro’s being Jewish in anyway colors his take on the issue. Adding to the Israel debate, other issues have come to bring conflict to conservatives. Just recently, Donald Trump, MAGA’s figurehead, has decided to favor the use of H-1B visas to bring thousands of immigrants into the country to supply cheap labor into the — primarily — tech industry. All of these detailed points of conflict aside, conservatism in America is witnessing other turbulent struggles. Among the Democrats, another chasm. For them, the conflict has risen from an active socialist/communist sympathy at odds with a tired liberalism that is clearly fading as an identifying feature of the center-left. The new New York mayor and a host of other foot-in-the-door socialists have pretty much tainted the Democrat party with an image that is decidedly anti-capitalist, anti-American culture and history, anti-middle America (farmers and workers), elitist, and authoritarian (if one accurately notes their top-down centralized command style of governing). It’s difficult to say where things will ultimately settle in these philosophical upheavals. Trump is certainly a major factor. Brash as he is, he’s probably the only one capable of pushing an America first program to the finish line. Aside from an uncertain Trump future, a genuine danger is looming in the mid-term elections. If Democrats (now largely controlled by their rabid socialist wing) successfully flip the House of Representatives, there will be nonstop impeachment number three (they’ll conjure something), subpoenas, massive lawfare campaigns, and their wish list (a packed Supreme Court, statehood for Puerto Rico, and D.C., entrenched election corruptions, etc.) that will solidify their position as the unopposed rulers of America. Add to this the very real possibility that the Supreme Court will void Trump’s Tarriff actions, which will put the nation back into the hands of America-last globalists. We stand balanced on a very sharp edge. It’s said that republics don’t last much beyond 250 years, making it strangely ironic that we’ll be actually celebrating that milestone this coming year.

Blogger is currently experiencing some problems. Hopefully the issues will be remedied soon. For now, excuse some messed up fonts and size of print etc.

Young and "educated" pseudorebels.

The Deep State  Knee deep in deep shit.  Another exercise in pathological projection . 

 When we choose a spouse or roommate, we don’t go with someone with radically different values and living standards.  How many unemployed nose-ringed hippies actively seek to be in the company of corporate executives?   

People cluster into groups.  They can appreciate variety IN THE WORLD, but don’t necessarily want the world in their house. 

 A phenomenal video. (!)

Another failed (fortunately) commie show.  These clowns are fully capable of considering the reality of their ideology in practice yet they are still on board with a destructive and dystopian vision.  ‘Masochists who want to take all of us down with them. 

No one is living like characters in the “Handmaid’s tale.”  But, there are plenty of disgruntled upper middle class single women (and some men who are almost women) who are living in a fantasy world of “oppression.”

 No more Norman Rockwell. 

 

The good news:  The election losses to the left weren’t exactly in conservative strongholds.  A Democrat or socialist winning an election in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York is pretty standard. What’s troubling — particularly in New York’s case — is not who won but specifically, the fact that there are lots of people willing to once again take the plunge into varieties of communist statism.  The initial result will appear harmless.  The better part of a year will see the communist mayor’s pet projects looking relatively positive. Of course the media will cover for him as well.  Over time, the reality of a punitive statist system will creep into daily life. This has already been the case as a city full of disorder and crime collapses further and faster into the socialist abyss.  The tax-supported grocery stores and free buses will eventually begin that decline seen everywhere in places like Cuba and Venezuela.  By then, those who have created wealth and a tax base will have already gone and America’s most prominent city will be in ruin.

Some people never learn.

 

 The warrior cult.

With the help of sympathetic media and cultural institutions, things look grand, particularly to the followers who initially imagined, a new world.   “Free” stuff with no loss beyond the maligned "rich people’s” assets.  

Functions of law and order are rejected as criminals are coddled and the most unproductptive deified as Nobel. 

Then, eventual realization occurs that things are actually becoming worse. Small businesses close, unable to adhere to numerous edicts, minimum wage laws, and rent controls. People and companies see the writing on the wall and move away from the “socialist experiment.”   

Finally, the minions of the new order direct their anger at anyone not “cooperating" (submitting to) with "the revolution” and begin to enact punishments on anyone not playing along.

Anyone exhibiting independence or degrees of success are attacked as “counter revolutionaries," “fascists,” and, “enemies of the people." If this occurs in a country, the result is widespread destitution, persecution, and execution, as well as laws preventing escape. 

In America, so far, one can just move to another state and leave the socialist enterprise to flounder in crime, poverty, and total loss of opportunity and freedom.  When the whole nation succumbs to Marx’s toxic formula, the country is screwed…the world is screwed.  “Weak” (and stupid) men create hard times.

Here we go again,  

You’d have to be really brain dead and unaware of history and human nature to not see where this leads. 

 Good question / good answer.
