The Biden Effect, Part Three: Pulling For Joe

Littlechild@emperorsnuclothes.com/ September 10, 2021/ Uncategorized

My last two posts took a brief look at the ongoing disaster that is the Biden Presidency. The breathtaking scope of this calamity has not escaped the notice of large swaths of Americans either. Some 150 retired generals, several senators and congressmen and numerous commentators have called for Biden’s immediate resignation and/or removal (via the 25th Amendment). Surprisingly, perhaps, I

Scourge Of Humanity

It didn’t take long. Just a week or two. They didn’t even wait for us to fully leave. Three weeks ahead of our full departure date, the “Religion of Peace” has retaken Afghanistan. Just like that. Without US military might, the Afghan “Army” collapsed like a house of cards. Without the bravery of US fighting men at the ready, no

Proud Of What?

Although it might initially seem churlish to criticize Team USA Olympic contestant Simone Biles for her catastrophic showing at the Tokyo Olympics, I’m prepared to relinquish any “good guy” bona fides I may have had, because Ms. Biles’ behavior at the games and, especially, the “woke” reaction to it are emblematic of the sorry mess that America’s psyche has become.

As a promotional theme, the New York Times likes to invite the public to read their publication and then “join the conversation.” But the “conversation,” if you want to call it that, has gotten so bizarre of late that “joining the conversation” is likely to challenge one’s sanity. Contemporary America’s “conversation” seems less like a true conversation and more like

In his greatest book, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald, America’s greatest writer, described the sense of astonishment that early America’s European settlers felt as they ventured into this brave new world: “For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face

Pride Week, 2021

Littlechild@emperorsnuclothes.com/ July 4, 2021/ Uncategorized

Well, last weekend wrapped up “Pride Week, 2021.” While most American special occasion celebrations (even very important ones like Arbor Day [April 29] or National Chocolate Day [July 7]) make do with a one day designation, the annual celebration of American weirdness can’t be contained, apparently, in a single calendar day. No, Pride DAY, I’m afraid, just won’t do! Ladies

It Didn’t Take Long

Ladies and gentlemen, it didn’t take long. Joe Biden has been in the White House now for just four months and already our nation and our world are going berserk. And the pace of the developing craziness under Biden appears even more rapid than it was under Obama – and that’s saying something. (See: “Remembering Barack,” 5/17/21). First, Palestine and
