Mike's Musings

By Rich Kozlovich, Originally posted on Friday, January 27, 2023

In days gone by I loved reading Mike Royko, and William Raspberry, both gone way too early, both provocative writers who used foils to bounce their views off, real or imagined.  Royko's was the local bartender and his patrons, and Raspberry's was a local cab driver.  Mike the bugman is mine, who sends me stuff that's often humorous, yet profound.  I call these offerings,

So, let's get started with a bit of pretending.

Let’s pretend there’s not “a wide range of genders.” Let's pretend there are only two genders and a wide range of mental disorders.  I mean if you can pretend Bruce Jenner is a woman and Kamala Harris is black and Biden is sane, you can pretend I’m wearing a mask, and I've been vaccinated 22 times, and think Fauci is a saint.  Trust me, that's a lot of pretending, which bring me to this observation.  Why is it only in America can an ethnic group have a black awareness month, black holiday, black only colleges, black only dating sites, black only bars and clubs and turn around and call everyone else racists?

Why is it when archeologists find human remains, they’re either male or female, and it appears they’ve never, ever, found any of the other 112 genders or 71 subcategories?  It’s been reported, truthfully or not, that Chinese third graders are learning multivariable calculus.  And while it certainly seems true our third graders are not being taught advanced mathematics, they're fully versed on the idea that men can have babies and the world is going to burn to a crisp.

I can’t help but wonder if that’s going to be a problem down the road?

Senator Kennedy from Louisiana once asked, “I don’t know why we have to give money to countries who hate us.  They should be able to hate us for free”.  After all, hating America is freedom of speech and thought.  Oh, wait, they don't have that in countries that hate us.  Well, now I see, that explains why we're paying them to hate us.  Tell me.  Does that seem stupid to anyone other than me?   But it isn't like we don't have a lot of stupid in America. 

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are convinced study, hard work and getting a good job is essential.  That is essential for them to be able to redistribute your taxes to a lot of people who never studied, never worked hard and refuse to work.  It's called communism, and they think those who oppose this and think this is detrimental to the nation are extremists.   Imagine that!

Think about this.  Joe Biden has been President for over two years, and nothing is built, nothing is back, and nothing is better, and we’re shocked?  This is from a man who was only been stunningly successful at being a failure.  Let's face it, Joe Biden isn't the brightest pebble in the brook and his only success has been in getting elected over and over again by a lot of pebbles in the brook that are even less bright than Biden, with a lot of help from voter fraud.  But as Delaware's Senator, that state kept electing him in spite of the fact in all those decades in  "public service" he never accomplished a thing.  See, I told you there's a lot of stupid in America.

He was largely a failure at everything else he did before that, and has been plagued with charges, legitimate charges mind you, of plagiarism all of his life.  And we should believe him when he said he was shocked to find there was a lot of classified documents found illegally in his possession, right next to his Corvette? Now, is that being just a little bit picky? Nah, just little snarc there.

His solution to the energy issues facing us now?  Tapping our oil reserves instead of drilling. Which is kinda like tapping your 401K instead of going to work, eventually there's a penalty to be paid for stupid.  

Is it true that when Joe Biden was asked about these latest scandals he opened up a can of alphabet soup, spread the contents out on his desk and read the answer?   Nah, that's not true either, but the end result’s the same, so does it really matter if it’s true or not?

One has to ask, if all these leftist politicians and their myrmidons in the Deep State are willing to treat Americans like dirt now, what would they do if all the guns were banned?  Is it possible they don't do those things now because they'd get shot for doing them?  Leftists rant about moral values, none of which they believe in because if there's no God, there are no values, and they don't believe in God.  The leftists claim if you shoot and kill a burglar it means the you value your things more than the burglar's life.   Gun owners think it means if you break into his home, "you" value his things more than "your" life.  

So, that leaves two diametrically opposing views in America.  There are those who believe in God, know what restroom to use, believe in equal rights not equity, believe in law and order, believe criminals need to be arrested, tried for their crimes and put in jail, and have the most guns.  And those who don't.

Suggestions anyone? 

My Karmelo Commentary

 By Rich Kozlovich,

Let's start this commentary by citing and quoting one of my favorite American Thinker writers, Olivia Murray, in her article, which attracted a lot of attention, New ‘trend’ shows blacks attacking random whites and accusing them of being part of Karmelo Anthony’s jury selection, saying:

Yesterday, I came across a video in which a black man films himself riding down the street on a bicycle, reportedly in Florida, before he pulls over where a white man is sitting on the ground talking to a white woman while they appear to be waiting for a bus. Out of nowhere and without provocation, the black man punches the seated white man in the head, accusing him of being part of the “jury selection” for the Karmelo Anthony trial; he also says to the white man, who is a veteran, “you gonna die.”........

I posted two words in the comment section, fully expecting to upset a lot of people.  Those two words?  It's genetic!  Not surprisingly, someone took exception to that saying:

No, it’s not genetic. Hatred is not an innate behavior. No child is born with the ability to hate someone. First off, hatred is an intense emotional response to something, and emotions are a learned behavior. No, hatred is something that is taught. 

In the case of blacks who hate all whites, they are taught to hate whites in the home growing up. When all that you hear since as far back as you can remember that all of your problems, everything that is wrong in your life is because of white people, then you naturally will become indoctrinated to hate all whites. 

This hatred of whites becomes a seemingly ‘normal’ way of seeing the world around you because nearly everyone that you have ever known has said the very same thing. So then from that black child’s point of view this is normal. Another word for such a behavior is that you develop a personal schema, which you see the whole world through and process everything mentally that you see. (I might have screwed how I explained what a schema is, but I am really close to the technical definition. You get my point.)

Such behavior is not exclusive to black homes only. As a white man I grew up in a struggling blue collar white household and family where any reference to blacks was always voiced as “those damned n- - - - - s …”, “MF’ing n- - - - - s…”, etc. etc. All of my parents friends, most of our neighbors where we grew up, all spoke the very same way about this subject. 

I was fortunate enough to see through the hatred, and to eventually understand it and the why for it. I have also been fortunate enough to have met some really decent, good black people, who were sane and relatively normal/not racist, good salt of the earth kind of people. Most of these I wish we still lived close enough to that we could still be friends. But I have also met an awful lot more hateful black racists who just hated all white people, and will never accept that any whites are not their enemy. Some whom I have physically fought with repeatedly.

What I am trying to share here is that not all are this way or that. No race is a monolith. We each need to open our hearts and be open to discernment that there will always be some who have risen above, and these people are truly worth the effort and time to know and accept as brothers and sisters.

My response to this was; when you see this behavior in black cultures all over the world you have to conclude…. it’s genetic.  In other posts he stated:

And maybe there is a reason why blacks in other parts of the world behave in this manner. There is a lot more at play than just genetics for why blacks in other cultures may behave in a similar manner.

Everything we do has a genetic component, including a propensity for irresponsible behavior and intelligence.  Refusing to recognize that is a failure in observing reality. Generalizations aren’t meant to frame every individual, it’s meant to recognize a pattern of behavior in a group. This pattern of irresponsible behavior is a worldwide social paradigm.  When you see this behavior in black cultures all over the world you have to conclude…. it’s genetic.  Later he posted this:

It is a fact that hatred is an emotion, and therefore it cannot ever be an innate characteristic which can be inherited. But if you wish to believe in otherwise, that is your choice. This sounds eerily similar to how Ratchet Crockett chooses to present her intentional ignorance as some kind of fact. But hey, you do you. Have a good day.

As you can see he became a bit perturbed.  We're all willing to accept the physical characteristics are inherited because we can see those characteristics, but we're unwilling to accept character traits are inherited, in spite of the fact we can see those character qualities playing out in society daily because it's not politically correct.  

Bill Ponton posted this American Thinker article,  The Anthony family saga" saying:

There is something rich about Karmelo Anthony describing himself in his court filing as a “penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to represent me on the appeal,” after his parents squandered the crowdfunded defense fund of $625,000 on meals at Cheesecake Factory, luxury handbags, and a new home in a gated community, presumably needed to foil attempts by relatives to sponge off them.

If the Anthony clan is representative of the intact black family that conservatives like Ben Shapiro are always clamoring for, then we should rethink that proposition. The elder Anthony instilled in his son arrogance, machismo, and a sense of victimhood, a deadly cocktail that no sane father would want to foster. Both parents show a disturbing lack of remorse for the actions of their little pit bull.

As I read this article I came away with the idea the author is under the impression this “family” is unique in black America. It’s not, it’s the pattern, and that selfish irresponsible behavioral pattern is ubiquitous in black culture…. worldwide. He responded to my comment saying:

I am living under no illusion. You are right, it’s pervasive

It’s unfortunate so many fail to recognize reality, and worse yet, they attempt to ameliorate that irresponsible behavior by blaming others calling observations of reality …. racism!  They're enabling that continued irresponsible behavior. As it stands right now, “All Things Great and Small are Racist.”

Blacks in America have not succeeded as Orientals in America, or Italians and Jews for that matter. And for the same reasons.   If you want a successful life you have to get a job, go to work every day, go in on time, leave on time, do the job you’re hired to do, don’t steal from your employer, don’t give your boss six thousand pounds of attitude, marry the person you’re making babies with, pay your bills, treat people with respect, don’t do crime and violence, don’t do drugs, raise your children with that attitude, make sure they go to school and do as best as they can - then you will have lived a successful life.

This really isn’t about race it’s about culture. What can you expect from a culture that has a 70 illegitimacy rate, and then blames whites for all their problems. Why? Because using the theme "everything racist", as the unending excuse they and their enablers in government use to avoid honestly addressing the problems in black culture. If they did, they’d be condemning themselves, and then they’d have to actually act on solutions that do something constructive.

Let’s Have a Serious Conversation About Race - How could anyone, real or not, go on camera and express sympathy for a murderer, at the expense of the murder victim and his family, no less? There’s really only one possibility: the cancerous cultural rot Democrats have forced and enforced on the black community..............Democrats created a failed education system designed to keep poor minorities where they are and ensure government dependence indefinitely, and nothing more. They tolerate a culture of violence, where actually learning is attacked as “acting white” and getting ahead is called “selling out.

”How can you solve a problem when you won’t acknowledge it? You can’t. When black men are calling for other 15 and 16-year-old black men to kill more white people because “y’all will be out at 30, y’all ain’t gonna do life,” where is the condemnation? Where are the politicians and pastors?............Karmelo Anthony murdered a kid, not because “he felt threatened,” as he could have easily walked out of the tent if that were the case. He killed Austin Metcalf because he’d been conditioned by the left to be a victim and to believe that anything he did in response to that victimhood was justified.

Andrea Widburg ran this piece on April 21, 2024, A wheelchair-bound girl is beaten, and we need to talk about it, and this video is really disturbing showing the merciless beating of a poor young black crippled wheelchair bound girl being beaten, and done so by other black girls.   Name one nation anywhere on the planet that's controlled by blacks where this is any different.   

"Today South Africa experiences high levels of poverty, crime and many vital public services barely work."

Since 1950 there have been 492 coups in the world, some successful, some not.  But 220 of those were carried out in Africa. There are 54 nations in Africa, and 45 of them have had coups in that time period.  Of those coups that are successful; most of them only hold power for less than seven years. 

Racism is a Corrupt Scam Destroying America. The number one problem for blacks in America is other blacks. Not whites, not discrimination, not past history, it’s black attitudes and liberal solutions that excuse a lack personal responsibility.

"Violence in America is frightening.  Racial violence is pandemic.  Black culture in America is now a criminal culture, and it's not just against whites, Asians, and Hispanic.  Black thugs are non discriminating".  They hate everyone.   

Outrage Over Hung Jury in Brutal Beating of Asian Jewelry Store Owner Despite Clear Video Evidence  The video has been deleted in this link, but it is available in this one. 

Trial for man seen on video attacking jewelry store owner ends in hung jury Surveillance video shows 68-year-old Chang Suh being stomped on and hit in the head at least a dozen times - twice with a hammer.........

Eight monsters abducted, tortured, and raped a young mother and then murdered her, and these monsters even videoed the whole vile event. Her name was Mahogany Jackson.  What did they have in common? They were all black, including the victim. What was the jury verdict?  A hung jury! 

 

What is easily observable is the black community as a whole is culpable in enabling all this violent behavior, which is mind boggling since as Daniel Greenfield asks: 

 

Who really suffers from this distortion of American culture? He points out black crime in black America killed a quarter of a million blacks in a ten year period.  

 

Mike McDaniel asks:  Will the Karmelo Anthony verdict provoke a second Summer of Love?  Perhaps, and  I have no doubt this will trigger some violent action as race hustlers can’t ignore this “crisis”…. a crisis they’re creating. But I don’t think this will be as big as is feared as conservative blacks are starting to speak out. 

 

Since the facts aren't in dispute, I'm guessing his appeal will be based on the fact there were no blacks on his jury.  But during voir dire each and every black answered said they wouldn't convict him.  Why?  Because he was young and black.  Will that appeal win out?  We'll see!  As for his sentence?   Just 35 years with a potential for parole was a disgrace.

Properly Defining Abortion Leads to Clarity

By Rich Kozlovich

When it come to abortion we are in dire need of clarity, and clarity can only be achieved via definition.  William F. Buckley once said something along this order:

There's only one reason to for abortion - you don't believe its murder and there's only one reason to be against abortion - you believe it is murder. 

Let's start defining all of this by reviewing the account of Sir Thomas More, who refused to accept the divorce and re-marriage of Henry VIII as legal on religious grounds.  During the trial Richard Rich, having sworn under oath to tell the truth, lied about Sir Thomas, a lie which condemned him. Although the outcome was predetermined this lie justified the death sentence.

Sir Thomas More commented, "In good faith, Rich, I am sorrier for your perjury than my peril". As Rich was walking away from the witness stand, Sir Thomas says, "I have one question to ask the witness. That's a chain of office you are wearing. May I see it? The red dragon. What's this?" Cromwell replies, "Sir Richard is appointed Attorney-General for Wales". More says, "For Wales? Why, Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world . . . But for Wales!"    

Nancy Pelosi was asked if a fetus isn't a human being then what is it? If a fetus is a human being then defeating abortion is a moral imperative. If these people are so afraid of standing on such strong moral foundation then what do they believe in - other than getting re-elected by pandering to the lowest moral common denominator?  The left, and many alleged conservatives, are willing to bend on infanticide because they believe they can't get elected otherwise.  

But accepting infanticide for a seat in Congress?

Dennis J. Kucinich, a far left former Mayor of Cleveland and Member of the House of Representatives was an anti-abortion Catholic all of his life. At least until he decided he wanted to be the Democrat nominee to run for President of the United States.  Then he had an epiphany that abortion wasn't so bad after all.  

But accepting infanticide to be President of the United States?  

He sold his integrity and didn't even get to run, and that decision will paint him forever for who and what he really is.  And today we have radical Pope Leo, who like Pope Francis, dislikes the traditional Catholic Church, and so set out to fundamentally transform that institution.   In fact, according to LifeSiteNews:

Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia said Pope Francis deliberately sought to ‘recreate’ the Pontifical Academy for Life and the John Paul II Institute in order to move Catholic theology beyond what he described as a ‘moralistic’ framework based on natural law.

Yes, we wouldn’t want Catholic or Christian theology to be based on morality, would we! And certainly not on natural law!  In point of fact the main stream "Christian" churches are fundamentally twisting themselves into shapes no apostle would recognize; bending like pretzels to please a secularized society, most of whom rarely attend. 

Abortion cannot intelligently, morally or ideologically be defined as anything but the murder of the innocent unborn.  As for these "religious" leaders who've sworn oaths at their ordination to uphold Christian doctrine and scripture; they've sold their integrity and honor in order to be politically correct.  Perhaps they should remember that someone is watching?  Truthfully, based on their action, I have serious misgiving about whether or not they really believe there's a God.  

 

Abortion is Not the Right to Choose. It's the Right to Murder

By Rich Kozlovich

 

For some reason P&D articles going back to 2008 are being hit a lot this week.  One of the articles I linked in 2012, is being hit a lot now.  Here are the author's thoughts from the original post. 

 

I am going to describe how an abortion takes place

A suction nozzle not unlike a carpet-cleaner is inserted into the womb. The little child, realizing that its home is being invaded, shrinks away.  

 

But there is no escape. The child is dismembered, limb by limb, and the little pieces are sucked out of the womb and set aside for experiment, incineration, or sale. The ultrasound scan of the womb shows the child’s tiny face distorted with fear, pain and then agony. Its butchers can see it screaming. They do not care, for they do not love.   

 

If by some miracle the little one survives this monstrous cruelty and is born alive, he or she is left to gasp a last, fluttering breath on a cold, metal tray under the cold glare of the strip-lights and the still colder glare of the vicious profiteers who salve their shrunken consciences by declaring to one another, mindlessly, over and over and over again, that “it’s just a fetus.”.......

 

 Medical ethics is now a contradiction in terms. They call it "the right to choose." What they mean is "the right to kill.".....

 

Do you remember The Gosnell Outrage?  If not, try this.  Gosnell Trial Witness: Baby Abortion Survivor Was 'Swimming' in Toilet 'Trying to Get Out'.  How can someone read something like this and not have tears in their eyes and a sick feeling in their stomach?  How can any rational person's heart not break over such vile practices?   

  

Abortion is the murder of the innocent unborn, and no amount of twisted logic and distorted language will change that.   Here are some of my commentaries on Abortion, but there's more by me and others in my abortion file .

1. Abortion: You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up

What I'm Reading

By Rich Kozlovich 

The insanity of the worlds leadership is mind boggling. Europe is praising Angela Merkel for destroying their economy with her green energy insanity and open immigration. The UN .... and I'm really enjoying this..... has now come out and said their climate change projections were "implausible". Why? Because they were based on lies, disinformation, misinformation, intellectual fraud and ideology.  

But it became a leftist religious tenet that all had to embrace, except there were brave souls who stood against the current and suffered for their integrity, and now the truth emerges, and it turns out all their predictions of huge increases in global temperatures, rising sea levels, agricultural disaster, the melting of the polar ice fearmongering was actually a scheme to promote multiculturalism and mass immigration.... at America's expense.  Make no mistake, global warming made scientific integrity an oxymoron and the real goal was to destroy America.  Dwell on that for a while.

Democrats 

It's fascinating, the Democrats have adamantly insisted there's no... or little... voter fraud, but if that were true then why are they just as adamant in preventing efforts to prevent voter fraud?  Because without voter fraud, except for a few districts on the East and West coasts, no Democrat could get elected.  They have two things as their platform.  They hate Trump, and America is racist, and both of those memes are wearing thin. 

As for everything these leftist lunatics are promoting, this line about Seattle's socialist mayor is bringing reality into their lives.  " Idiot lib class warriors like to sound tough in front of their purple-haired, nose-ringed fans until they realize non-profit workers and commune baristas don't pay the welfare bill- capitalism does."

Republicans

I think it's fairly clear the Republican base is going on a RINO hunt in this election, and it will continue in 2028.  Thune has to run again in 2028 and there will be a concerted MAGA effort to unseat him, and his cabal of misfits, like Lisa Murkowski, Todd Young, Rand Paul, John Hoeven, and Chuck Grassley is going to be 94 by then and time for him to go home permanently.

What I'm Reading

Life is about patterns and circles. Patterns of behavior, and the social circles prompting that behavior. 

 By Rich Kozlovich

As you go through this list you just can't help but wonder how many of these people are all certifiable?  From heretics to lunatics, all embracing views that are antithetical to a stable society. 

 The Democrat base? "The vast majority (perhaps 99% of all), intellectually diminished, politically passive, sustained through entertainment, subsidies, algorithmic distraction, and dependency." 

The Republican base has had it with the Republican party leadership, and make no mistake the leadership in each state's Republican party is filled with RINO's.  This election and the 2028 election will be RINO hunts, and their running scared.  

There's all this talk about AI destroying the economy by destroying jobs.  I've heard that story for 70 years with each new innovation.  Will it happen this time?  We'll see, but the answer in all these years has been innovation and elimination.    The innovation will force the elimination of those things that no longer work.  Will it all be to humanities benefit?  We'll see, but it's coming. 

For many years I've maintained the green movement lies... about everything.  Everything is a crisis, and we must act right now or else the world will be destroyed.  They've harnessed hysteria like the Budweiser Clydesdales all marching in step.    Well, they look good but they're always....always.... wrong, but as with all leftists, they never suffer the consequences of their failures, they never apologize, and they'll soon find a new hysteria to embrace.

Life is about patterns and circles. Patterns of behavior, and the social circles prompting that behavior.

Here are five of my old articles I think are worth your time.  

1. That Sound You Hear is Civilization Crashing
2.  Character Counts
3.  No Kings, But There's No End to Number of Nitwits
4. The Left Hijacks Language to Promote the Unspeakable 
5. Eighty Three Years Ago This Was America

I came across an old article about Richard Nixon, who I consider one of the worst Presidents to ever sit behind the Resolute Desk.  Between him and Carter they created a monstrous mess for the nation.  Carter with the Middle East and Nixon with China and his embrace of environmentalist fanaticism, but especially his irresponsible ban on .  Both he and his pick as the first EPA director, Ruckleshaus, should have been tried for crimes against humanity.

Eventually he passed the Clear Air Act, the Clear Water Act the Endangered Species Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act, requiring environmental impact statements for federal projects.   He created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  All of which create virtual lava flows of scientifically dubious regulations, creating outrageous burdens on the American people, and the American economy.   

Furthermore, all these laws and agencies gave rise to lawsuits by activists that plague economic development with legal costs, studies and delays, because these fanatics are never satisfied.  They corrupted the system even more with their Sue and Settle tactics with corrupt secret activist bureaucrats giving them what Congress never intended for them to have via court orders. 

Abortion

1. What the Data Actually Says About Abortion and Women's Health - The data show that strong pro-life laws are not contributing to higher maternal mortality rates. In fact, states with stronger pro-life protections experienced slightly faster declines in maternal mortality than states with more permissive ones.Notably, no state that enacted a heartbeat law or abortion restriction saw a statistically significant increase in maternal deaths..........  In the studies that do exist, it was found that women who have had an abortion were twice as likely to have attempted suicide and had increased odds ratios of anxiety and depression. The testimony of many women who have experienced abortion points to deep emotional and relational consequences that can linger for years........

Democrats 

When I read the corrupt things the Democrats are up to I can't help but think of the movie, A Man for All Seasons, the Paul Scofield version, which I wish appeared more often.   This movie presents Sir Thomas More to be a man courage, knowledge, intelligence and impeccable logic, dealing with the issue of King Henry VIII and his abandonment of his wife in order to marry another who could provide a son and heir.  More was arrested and put on trial for treason and found guilty, which was predetermined.  But the testimony by Sir Richard Rich sealed his fate, and his testimony was a lie.   

Sir Thomas More commented, "In good faith, Rich, I am sorrier for your perjury than my peril". As Rich was walking away from the witness stand, Sir Thomas says, "I have one question to ask the witness. That's a chain of office you are wearing. May I see it? The red dragon. What's this?"

Cromwell replies, "Sir Richard is appointed Attorney-General for Wales". More says, "For Wales? Why, Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world . . . But for Wales!"  When I see what passes for integrity in politics, I can't help but see Scofield in my mind saying, "But Richard, for Wales"!

Scientists who stood against this fraud were destroyed by the left.  Now, the worm is turning, will they be compensated for the persecution they suffered?  

I knew this was junk science and a load of horsepucky from day one, and I've written saying so for over 20 years.  So, ask yourself this question.  If an autodidact bugman knew this was a load of horsepucky from day one, how could all these powerful, highly educated people....all at the center of the information universe.... not know it?  They knew it, but the facts didn't support their agenda, so they lied, and they corrupted data to give them their predetermined conclusions.  

I started tracking and writing about the corruption of the green movement regarding pesticides for 25 years, especially regarding the unscientific fraudulent ban on DDT.  I've seen nothing but fraud and lies from them for all those years. Lie of commission and lies of omission.  I'm willing to follow the facts no matter where they may lead.  So when something is promoted by the green movement I start out with the base assumption they're lying, and then research the topic until I know for sure they're lying, and then I say so.

 If the bugman says something is horsepucky, it's horsepucky.

What Is It The left Really Wants?

By Rich Kozlovich 

Democrats no longer attempt to make a case for what they believe in and what they promote.  If you disagree you're a racist, homophone, xenophobe, Nazi white supremacist and they "make threats to those who won’t get in line and obey them. 

Screaming, threatening and violently assaulting their opponents.  That's the Democracy they're wanting to save.  

They only talk to news organizations who support them, so I think it's a good idea to see why they refuse to defend their views with those who disagree with them?  Perhaps when we take a look at what "the self-ordained progressive/socialist ruling class" really want and what they support we'll get a clear picture of who and what they are.  

I've harvested this list from a number of articles. Some of these are my thoughts and some are from other articles, but they all certainly resonate.

1. They want control of a single-payer health care
2.  Green New Deal demands an end to the use of "fossil fuels", which would destroy the economy
3.  A mandated use of alternative energy, none of which has anything to do with climate, but it has everything to do with entire changing America's economic system and cannot supply the energy necessary to meet the nation's energy needs, commercially or domestically
4. Universal basic income, for everyone, including those who refuse to work
5. Free college
6. Universal child care (who knows that that really means since they desire to mutilate children is now called "child health care")   
7. Guaranteed government jobs for those willing to work 
8. Massive expansion of welfare programs 
9. Destroy the traditional family 
10. March for trans rights
11. Make the murder of the innocent unborn a Constitutional right 
12. Controlling or eliminate religion
13. Stopping/controlling freedom of speech
14. The elimination of conscience as a moral guide replacing it with totalitarian ideology making the state the ultimate moral arbiter
15. Eliminating the idea some things really are right an some things really are wrong
16. Class oppression, warfare, and dissension  
17. Prevent self defense by confiscating guns, all the while they're surrounded by security guards. 
18. Eliminate the police
19. Praise of totalitarian dictators in public education
20. Corrupt the entire system of education to promote leftist views 
21. Undermine the military
22. Eliminate cars and force everyone to live in clusters
23. Eliminate private property ownership 
24. Promote hate for entrepreneurs who create jobs and advance capitalism
25. Raise taxes, substantially
26. Promote larger government
27. Pass more restrictive regulations 
28. Promote more spending
29. Ignore government fraud, failure and corruption 
30. Demand the annihilation of Israel
31. Condemn Jews and justify the violence used against them
32. Demand the creation of a Palestinian state controlled by Muslims
33. Defund Ice
34. End capitalism
35. March, often violently, in support of corrupt groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter
36. Suppress conservatives, Christians, Republicans, and whites, violently if necessary
37. Demand the media suppress expression that fails to support these views and the Democrat party.  

Totalitarian control of every aspect of our lives destroying the foundational elements of human existence is what the left wants.    Let's try and get this right.  These conscienceless academic nihilists have never had real jobs and propound nonsense that's destructive to the foundational principles that make our culture work, and they've gotten away with it for decades.  With their almost total annexation of American education, from kindergarten to "higher" education, they've managed to corrupt our language, and our history.  

While pretending to be common folk "they're hypocritical elitists who are unashamedly socialist, communist, and violent", and this has become especially true of white women who've become "the vanguard of an ever-ready cadre of shock troops ready to march " with their Borg like mentality, "resistance is futile".

As I watch the world spinning I marvel at how the left has managed to make insanity the cultural norm for so many uninformed, misinformed, and ignorant people.  Yet this was exactly what George Orwell, the Socialist, Predicted Today’s Ruthless American Socialism, as the author notes their only real adversity is reality.  

Trump Calls for Senate Parliamentarian to Be Fired After She Nixes Ballroom Funding Plan ....

"the Senate Parliamentarian is a nonpartisan, appointed staff member and not a constitutional officer. [1, 2] Here are a few quick facts about the position: 

Role: The parliamentarian acts as an expert advisor to the presiding officer (usually the Vice President or the President pro tempore) on Senate rules, precedents, and procedures. 

Creation: The office was created in 1935 by the Senate to handle the increasingly complex legislative process. Appointment: The parliamentarian is hired by the Secretary of the Senate and serves at the pleasure of the Senate Majority Leader. 

Power: Their advice is strictly advisory. The presiding officer or the Senate as a whole can choose to overrule or ignore the parliamentarian's guidance, though this is relatively rare. Because the U.S. Constitution (in Article I, Section 5) simply states that "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings," the rules and officials—like the parliamentarian—are entirely the creation of the Senate itself, rather than mandated by the Constitution."

What I'm Reading

By Rich Kozlovich

Editor's Note: Today I received notice that this May 15, 2026 "What I'm Reading" post was deleted because it violated Blogger's standards, which they never explain. Do not delude yourself into believing the wokesters are being purged from these organizations.  RK

Here's a thought or two to ponder.  As we watch all the international intrigue playing out I think this is a question that needs answering, Why Stay in NATO if Europe Isn’t Willing to Help Us?  

When looking at the two parties coming into the 2026 midterm elections I think this is valid observation, Republicans are Dysfunctional; Democrats are Totalitarians.   However this Republican midterm is sort of a political safari. They're hunting RINO's, and that will continue in 2028.

Most of today's links highlight what's going on in both parties.  The fight over Massie and Cassidy has brought all the wrong people into the forefront in defense of these RINO's, like Mitt Romney. 

For over 20 years I've decried all the hysteria regarding Anthropogenic Climate Change.  It used to be Global Warming until there was no warming, then it became Climate Change.  The twisted logic, lies, scientific fraud, and failed predictions has finally caught up to them.  But here's the question that needs asked and answered.  If the bugman could find the information that showed it was all a fraud, how could all these political leaders, academics, and so-called scientists not be able to find it?  Ideology!  They believed because they believed, except for those who actually were behind this scare mongering.  They knew they were lying.  We have to question everything, and we need to follow the facts no matter where they may lead.  Make no mistake, if the bugman says something is a load of horsepucky, it's a load of horsepucky.

1.  Growing Number of Americans Say Religion Gaining Influence in Society

Susan Quinn over a American Thinker posted this article, People are returning to church, on May 15 and I posted the comment below.  

While I’m a firm believer that a return to the Judaic/Christian principles and practices is essential to turning the nation around, I have misgivings. I have to wonder if the leaders of these churches a capable of doing that. What are they’re teaching? What do they believe? Do they even believe in the Bible and God?

Churches across the West are twisting themselves into shapes no apostle would recognize — bending like pretzels to please a secular society. "They update doctrines, rewrite homilies, and water down long-held beliefs, all in hopes of attracting people who rarely show up anyway".

Now the Church of England has chosen its new leader: Dame Sarah Mullally, "hailed as a “theological liberal” and celebrated for her progressive stances. But it raises a fair question: does the Archbishop believe in the Christianity she is meant to lead, or only in a softened imitation of it?"  Since it's clear they don't believe the Bible is God's word, perhaps they should be asked if they believe there is a God? If people are what they do, then their actions say ... no!

Catholics aren’t the only ones hedging on leftist heresy such as abortion, the United Church of Christ called abortion health care. One rabbi claimed his religion made him pro-abortion. M. B. Mathews says, American Churches are Killing Christianity. There’s a reason why public trust in churches has fallen.

As for me, I hate throwing a wet towel on this very positive article, but I consider myself optimistically pessimistic at the outcome.
