The two Americas
I think I’ve managed to boil down to a paragraph what’s happened to America, and I don’t see any way of walking this back.

2020 & the Great Convergence II: The Coming Storm (Updated)
The progressives will not accept a Trump victory in November, thus ending an unbroken history of 232 years of peaceful transfer of power in our nation dating to when the Constitution was adopted in 1788. Seemingly the only question is how progressives will attempt to end Trump’s tenure if their

Dementia Joe and Civil War II, Coming To You Sometime After November 3
The progressives’ end game is to remake America and they will not tolerate losing the Presidency in November. Win or lose, a civil war of sorts is in the offing. The only question is when? There are two Americas today, and the divide is demonstrated perfectly in this short video:

Movie Review: Book Smart
Book Smart By The Closet Conservative Read my previously posted movie review, on Long Shot. (Short version: I did not like it) That movie was Citizen Kane compared to Book Smart. Yet, most critics love this movie. 97% favorable on the Rotten Tomatoes web site. I REALLY am truly

Where I stand on Charlottesville and Confederate monuments
At Charlottesville, Antifa and Neo-Nazis proved to be birds of a feather; and blacks are right to want to remove Confederate monuments from public spaces. I’ve been rather conspicuously silent about events in the South. As you know, I like to wait until the hysteria settles and facts emerge to

I always expect that the progressive left will act without intellectual honesty or conscience to achieve their ends. I did not expect the progs to be aided in their efforts by eunuchs in the Dept. of Justice. As Andy McCarthy opines, The Justice Dept. Is Killing Trump. Everything in the public

In the immediately preceding post, I comment on the vast chasm in American politics. It is, perhaps, every bit as unbridgeable as the one that America saw before the Civil War. People don’t just have differences of opinion, they have profoundly different moral compasses. It is in that context that
