Column: The specter of inflation haunts Joe Biden’s presidency
Column: The specter of inflation haunts Joe Biden’s presidency
Excerpt: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen got into trouble Tuesday for telling the truth. That morning, at a conference sponsored by the Atlantic, she raised the possibility that one day the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates "to make sure our economy doesn't overheat." Anyone with a basic understanding of economics knew what she was talking about. The combination of President Joe Biden's gargantuan spending and the accelerating economic recovery may well lead to a rise in consumer prices and hikes in interest rates. But an end to the Federal Reserve's program of easy money would hurt asset prices and possibly employment as well. Which is not what most investors want to hear. When Yellen's words reached Wall Street, the market tanked. By the afternoon she was in retreat, telling the Wall Street Journal CEO summit that she had been misunderstood. "So let me be clear," she said. "That’s not something I'm predicting or recommending." No, of course not. But it still might happen anyway.

Feel free to post or forward.
Health update: I’m scheduled for my hip
replacement next Thursday, May 6th. I hope it goes through. I told
the surgeon he better do a good job as I had already signed up for the next
Marine Corps Marathon. LOL. I’ll be happy if I can walk and get in and out of
bed/cars without pain. We will see.
Next month’s RT may be short, depending on
how I bounce back.
Derek Chauvin won’t last a year in prison.
“A mass media…whose raison d’etre
is to make money and secure audiences and only secondarily to inform.” –Paul
Kennedy. The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, 1987
Saw a book at Goodwill: “Eat up and slim down.” It was on the
fiction shelf.
Sometimes you have to quit when you’re behind.
Some people plan what they want to do in life, changing the
plans as circumstances require. Others just drift along. As a rule, the
planners have better lives.
“Successful people have a sense of gratitude. Unsuccessful
people have a sense of entitlement.” –Steve Aitchison
“Race doesn’t matter!” Except when it does.
“Rome’s premier contribution to mankind’s understanding of
how man may be made civilized was its institution of a disciplined and
permanent Army.” –John Keegan, A History of Warfare.
“Exactly what is progressive about intolerance?” –Dave
Blaska, blogger
Woke is a joke.
Dick Armey, the
Texas Republican and former House majority leader, used to say, only half-jokingly,
“Liberals love jobs, but they hate employers.”
From Facebook: One
of my favorite speeches comes from Robert Duvall in "Second Hand
Lions": "Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the
things that a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good.
That honor, courage and virtues mean everything. That power and money, money
and power mean nothing; that Good always triumphs over Evil; and I want you to remember
this: That Love, true Love never dies. Doesn't matter if any of this is true or
not. You see a man should believe in these things because these are the things
worth believing in."
If you
do one thing well enough to become a multi-millionaire, you can hold yourself
out as an expert in everything.

When a guy says
to a girl, “This will be our secret,” ten to one it won’t be secret long.
Looking at the
world today, I wonder how much lemonade I can make.
The government can hand out money. But it
can’t hand out knowledge, a work ethic, self-discipline, integrity, goal
orientation, gratitude, or belief in something bigger than yourself. They are
essential to success and you have to get them on your own.
My Drill Instructors at Parris Island gave
me resiliency, tenacity and self-discipline. These are vital to success and no
amount of money can buy them.
COVID has exposed how hollowed out and
weak the American character has become.
You can often tell a tolerant liberal by the vicious name
calling. Alas, rabid right wingers do it too. It just locks people into their
positions.
I understand that on Easter Sunday, Biden and Pelosi attended
a service at Planned Parenthood where they thanked the state for its blessings
and aborted the traditional Easter Baby.
There are exceptions, but liberals tend to worship the state,
conservatives tend to worship God.
Old age: The Flatulent Years.
The world would be better if people were as eager to pay
their debts as they were to borrow the money.
When God gives you a mission, you don’t say, “Sorry, I have
other plans.”
If you live in America, you are
not oppressed and those people you don't like are not privileged. --John Hawkins
As to the latest Woke controversy, I never heard of an
evergreen tree being used for a lynching.
Biden is reinstating economic and humanitarian aid to the Palestinians,
which will allow them to divert funds to terrorism and murder.
Graphing it, in ten years progressives will be fighting to
make post-birth abortion legal up to 12 months. And in 15 years….
A few years ago I talked about abortion to a progressive
relative. He said he opposed end-term, partial birth abortion, but most such
were induced abortion early in the pregnancy. Now it’s abortion for any reason
up to the moment of birth. I haven’t asked him to avoid an argument.
From Facebook: “If you’re happy and you know it, go back to
bed. If you’re happy and you know it, go back to bed. If you’re happy and you
know it, getting up will surely blow it, if you’re happy and you know it, go
back to bed.”
If someone tells you the world will end on a certain date,
bet them. If they are right, how will they collect?
The curse of being a reliable person is dealing with so many
people who aren’t.
Hiring for competence is racist.
“Leave a message and I will call you back” is one of the
great lies.
One of the vets I called for a MLMS interview had a VM
message that said, “Have a nice day…unless of course you have other plans.”
To be a police officer in Minneapolis, Seattle or Portland,
you must really need the job, or want to be an officer a great deal. I keep
expecting them all to quit.
Black Jobs Matter. Stop burning down the places blacks work.
I think there may be an undiscovered asshole gene that makes
some people act the way they do.
It must be exhausting to be a progressive. Each year you
have to learn new things to fervently believe it. Ten years ago, who talked
about CRT or abortion to the moment of birth? Remember when Obama, Bill Clinton,
and Schumer were dead set against illegal immigration?
Libraries use to celebrate Banned Books Day. Now they ban
books themselves.
Almost every revolution ends in tyranny. See France and Bonaparte.
Ours was the exception. We won’t be so lucky next time.
My smart phone addiction is getting worse. It said I was up
to a minute a day last week.
I think a lot of people say, “Facebook keeps taking it down”
to get you to share their pic or meme.
Being black or white or brown or red or yellow doesn’t
entitle you to respect. Being a decent, hard-working person does.
There’s a difference between want and need. I want a Morgan
sports car, but I just need a car that will get me around. And a difference
between need and greed. Everyone needs a home. The founder of BLM didn’t need
to spent $1.4m of donated money on a mansion. (She said it wasn’t donated
money? Then where did it come from? Her job?
“White privilege” is as racist a term as “ni--er.”
If Biden is right and no amendment is absolute, does that
abrogate the amendments against slavery and guaranteeing blacks the right to vote.
From Facebook: This entire presidency is like being tied to
a chair and watching a toddler play with a revolver.
Dane County increased our tax assessment by $21,000. Need
more money for left-wing programs.
Putting Harris in charge of the border is like putting Bill
Clinton in charge of a girls’ high school.
The only secure, stable, reliable green energy is nuclear
power.
Baseball used to be the “National Pass Time.” Now being

From Facebook: “I used to laugh at people who went to bed at

“To become weak is to become prey.” –David Mamet.
Never vote for woke politicians.
Not only am I over the hill, I can no longer see the sucker

The stronger the teachers’ union, the poorer the education.
We are all in a competition to be a better person than we
were yesterday. But too many aren’t trying or are blaming others.
"Truly,

To paraphrase a
fake quote from John Wayne. “Life is short. It’s shorter if you’re stupid.”
I told a woman I

In light of the

The Dangers of an Increasingly Online World
The Dangers of an Increasingly Online World
Excerpt: While there are exceptions, in most arguments on social media, the default setting is that everyone who disagrees with you is at best an idiot, or more likely, a threat to good people everywhere. Both social media and regular media offer an endless buffet table of examples that the people who think differently than you really are imbecilic, corrupt, malevolent, and a danger to others. If you’re on the left, and go to a site like Raw Story this morning, you can read headlines such as: “‘Pathetic liar’ Greg Abbott blasted for online misinformation: ‘Take down this lie,’” “‘Sad, pathetic and weak:’ Kevin McCarthy demolished on Morning Joe for his mealy-mouthed defense of Trump,” “‘Fascist’ Ron DeSantis burned to the ground by Florida reporter for his latest Trump-like move.’’ Notice that all of these stories amount to “Someone said something critical about a Republican lawmaker.” (Also, I had missed that last bit of news. Shouldn’t someone be arrested for arson if that headline is true?) If you’re on the right, you can read this morning that “Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were once White House guests of former President Bill Clinton, “Michigan Democrat seen resisting DUI arrest, threatens to call Gov. Whitmer in bodycam footage,” and “Kamala Harris’ office stated ignorance of how volunteers, corporate sponsors chose her book for migrant kids.” There is always some new story to reassure you that the other side is irredeemably evil, and there’s no point in even trying to engage with them. After all, there’s a cultural war going on, or so we’re often told, not a mere cultural disagreement. A lot of morally debatable acts are justified in war that would not be justified in other circumstances. A lot of social-media algorithms are meant to promote posts with the highest level of “interactivity” — with no ability or desire to assess whether that interactivity is good or bad. Noncontroversial views do not generate interactivity; controversial ones do — which means that many social-media platforms inadvertently or deliberately set up a system that gives the biggest platform and widest audience to the most controversial and extreme viewpoints. [I seldom link to The Morning Jolt, though it’s now one of the minority of things National Review hasn’t limited access to. Today’s column by Jim Geraghty hits right between the eyes. Yes, we do need to back away a little. Once our perspective is lost, it’s difficult to get it back. Ron P.]

The Courage of Our Convictions. How to fight critical race theory
Critical Race Theory explained... and what needs to be done about it
It has gone from a crackpot theory to a juggernaut of PC and 'woke' power taking over institutions all over, and using persecution and intimidation to force at least silence if not actual assent. It is seriously dangerous to the society, and the resistance must rise strongly and widely to counter it. It's going to be a long and messy fight, but it's an existential one. --Del

Higher Education Takes Aim at ‘Colonialist’ Music
There are still some conservative college professors. A distinct minority today, of course, almost an endangered species, but at least a few brave souls (with tenure) who speak out on occasion.

Excellent article about the latest deep dive into 'woke' insanity. --Del
Higher Education Takes Aim at ‘Colonialist’ Music
NO MORE TESTS: WE SHOULD MEASURE BLACK KIDS ON THEIR "DESIRE TO KNOW." (St. Ibram, 2019)
So minority kids don't do as well on average in some schools as White kids? And the answer the geniuses have come up with is to lower the bar for them to make things more "equitable"? So now the "A" grade the White kid gets means something really different from the "A" grade the minority kid gets? Sure, that's the way to make things better in society.
Ahh.... maybe the two real answers are more focused learning help for the kids who want it, and let reality be whatever it is for everyone else. The letters on the page may be black ink on white paper, but they don't care what eyes are looking at them.

Knife fights are normal
Here's the quote from one of the BLM activists about the recent tragic case of a teenage girl going berserk with a knife and trying to stab two other girls.
“Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons,” tweeted longtime activist Bree Newsome. “We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.”
Her other comments include the idea that "we don't need White police officers to show up to handle our children". This is a perfect example of seeing everything solely through the prism of race, no matter what, in which anything a White person does is bad and innately racist. If it had been a White girl stabbing other White girls and the officer who shot her was Black, how would the situation have been reported, what kind of reactions wouild we have seen? If the officer didn't shoot her and she managed to kill the girl pressed up against the car, what would have been said then, that it was OK since girls having knife fights is just part of the community? Somehow I don't think so.
But at least Twitter is full of very zingy retorts to this racist woman, and many of the retorts are from Black people. So not everyone is crazy.
But too many people are.

Is America Living in a 9/10 Moment?
The calm before a possible Great Power storm. By David French
Russian Hoax Prosecutor John Durham Issues Subpoena to ... "Brookings Institute"
Russian Hoax Prosecutor John Durham Issues Subpoena to ... "Brookings Institute"
Excerpt: The continued use of information from Danchenko has always been a huge “red-flag” problem in my review of the FBI’s conduct. There was simply too much information known to the FBI by December 2016 and January 2017 to press forward with the investigation while continuing to rely on earlier judgments that there was some substance to the Russia Hoax allegations. Nothing that the investigation was actually turning up — nothing that was later reported by the Mueller Special Counsel investigation or otherwise disclosed by Inspector General Horowitz’s report — has ever supported the FBI’s continued belief in the legitimacy of the “Russia Hoax” allegations such that the investigation should have been carried on after Pres. Trump took office. Maybe more than any other specific fact or set of facts, the information given to the FBI during the multi-day interview of Danchenko, combined with his “problematical” history that made practically worthless ANYTHING he said implicating anyone in subversive activity, made it improper for the FBI to push forward as it did when a “pause” and objective review of where the investigation stood and what they had learned would have likely caused it to have been shutdown. [Wow. Durham’s people are still making slow progress–but, it IS progress. The author speculates about where the info came from as there have been ZERO leads from Durham’s team, but the speculation seems valid to me. Ron P.]

Why violent crime surged after police across America retreated
So we need an explanation in USA Today as to why violent crime went up as policing activities decreased? Really?
But it's a good article, just supplies facts about what happens when you cut back on police work and work hard at demoralzing and demotivating officers. Of course some of us crazy old people did anticipate this, but hey, maybe that was just our Far Right bias showing itself? It couldn't be that we actually have some real understanding of how things work, could it? After all, so many really smart people with advanced degrees and so many politicians and activists said all this was a great idea.... how could they have been mistaken? Oh well...
The real question is how do cities regain a level of control and get back to that quaint idea of law and order. How are they going to recruit good people to go into law enforcement now? I can only feel sorry for the people living in a lot of these cities, until they vote in some seriouis people who will shrug off the "social justice" priority and get back to keeping citizens safe in their homes, businesses, and on the street.

You Can’t Ignore Physics, Joe
You Can’t Ignore Physics, Joe
Excerpt: Joe Biden is not all that different from Donald Trump in his propensity to just blurt out the first thing that pops into his mind, whether or not it’s true, whether or not it even sounds plausible, and whether or not what he’s describing violates the laws of physics. Yesterday, in another sales pitch for his infrastructure plan, Biden said, “. . . what we’re really doing is raising the bar on what we can imagine. Imagine a world where you and your family can travel coast to coast, without a single tank of gas, or on a high-speed train close to as fast as you can go across the country in a plane.” This is almost physically impossible, even if we make the most optimistic assessments about advances in rail technology. Commercial airliners usually travel 550 to 580 miles per hour.

The Media Tried to Smear Ron DeSantis. It Backfired | Opinion
When you see a column like this in Newsweek, not exactly a Right Wing publication, you can rejoice that every once in a while the truth does come out at least a little bit in the media.
In this case, what 60 Minutes and their reporter tried to do was so damn egregious and so blatantly obvious that no remotely fairminded person could ignore it. Is all the media this biased? No, not all, but most of the media is biased and we see that readily.
Most media articles, including in the NYTImes this morning, are about how "Jim Crow" the Georgia election law is. Yet that it actually increases access to voting in terms of polling place time is ignored. That in fact its provisions are still a good deal more open to voting than numerous other states, e.g. New Jersey, is ignored. That it does not say people in line cannot be given water, it only says that partisan organizations cannot approach and distribute anything to people in line, which is very reasonable. (If it were GOP activists handing out water and snacks, we'd have heard about it a long time ago in furious protests.)
I am proud to say that an old friend who lives in George and is very much a Democrat told me she orginally heard the whole "voter suppression" screaming, but being bored at home decided to actually look at the legislation. Only to slowly realize it was not at all about voter suppression, and the claims were purely political propaganda. It won't change how she votes at all, but she is upset at the duplicity and stupidity of what is being claimed. (See... it is possible to be a Liberal and still abandon all reason. Although it's unfortunately not the way a lot of people have gone.)
It will be interesting to see how things go in Georgia at the next election.

Antifa’s Destructive Return Could Have Staying Power
Excerpt: The Seattle Police Department saw a mass exodus of nearly 200 police officers in 2020 after a relentless public campaign by anti-police activists and like-minded City Council members to demean, demoralize, assault, and defund police. The trend of officer resignations and retirements continues in 2021, with the Seattle Police Department having its lowest number of patrol officers since the early 1990s. What’s worse, under an unofficial order, Seattle’s remaining police officers aren’t allowed to engage with Antifa, police sources say, even though a tighter grip on the group’s “direct action” would lessen the likelihood of vandalism.
