The sacred nature of the em dash gets hammered into every American academic. I resisted an initiation into the em dash cult for years but getting accused of being French eventually got to me and I joined the em-dashers. Since then I’ve been indoctrinated into the cult and radicalized. I don’t care about any newfangled fads. You’ll have to pry my em dashes our of my cold dead hands. I don’t care what ChatGPT does. I was there first and peed in a circle to mark my territory.

My Wish
What I want is for Russians to go to bed with pockets full of dog food like Ukrainians do every night.
So that rescue dogs can find them under the rubble.
A Valuable Sex Offender
More charming news in case you were feeling too positive today:
A Kenyan national convicted of sexually assaulting a sleeping woman in Minnesota wasn’t deported after his prison sentence — he was promoted.
Wilson Tindi holds a director position at the Minnesota Department of Education, where he audits taxpayer spending and oversees internal accountability.
Court records show Tindi was convicted in 2016 of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct after breaking into a woman’s home and assaulting her in bed where she slept. He pleaded guilty to the sex assault charge in exchange for prosecutors dropping a first-degree burglary charge.EXCLUSIVE: Convicted sex offender from Kenya avoids deportation, lands state job
I know, I know, Americans refuse to do these jobs. No American is capable of doing this highly onerous work.
The Most Important Provision of the BBB
I truly have no words:
Literally, the most important thing in the bill, and also the most reasonable and widely supported provision, is something we don’t get.
Widget Mentality
What can possibly go wrong? Hmm, I wonder.
The Best Gays
There’s an expression that the side that will win is the side that has the best Jews. I need to add, that it’s also the side that has the best gays.
Barbarians at the Gates
Ukraine decided to do everything to avoid inflicting civilian losses on Russia. As a result of these insane, in my opinion, efforts to look civilized, Ukraine is suffering its own terrible civilian losses daily. This is a policy of swapping your own population for a good standing with worldwide liberals who love a good victim.
Israel did the opposite. In inflicted horrific losses on the savages who perpetrated October 7, everybody who stood next to the savages, and everybody who stood next to those who stood next.
Everybody is now upset with what I’m saying and won’t read the post to the end but the point I’m making is not about Ukraine or Israel. It’s about barbarians at the gates. You are either ready to go absolutely fucking bananas at the aggressor or you are not. If you are not, you’ll be destroyed. Works geopolitically as well as individually.
Request for Recommendations
The only thing I like more than my evening routine is my morning routine. And part of it is listening to political commentary while I get ready for the day, cook breakfasts, pack lunches, etc. Matt Walsh is on a 2-week vacation and I’m left without a show. I’ve been reduced to Ben Shapiro but his voice is not doing it for me at this hour of the day.
Does anybody have suggestions? I’m looking for a daily right-wing show. Ideally, it should be at least an hour long. And open access because I hate subscriptions.
Fake Mamdani
Everything about Mamdani is fake, including videos of him eating rice with his hands and this clearly staged video:
This was aimed at making him look moderate and it’s completely fake.
What Killed Social Security
Remember how I said that you can either have welfare or mass migration? Here’s one example why:
Social Security is already so engorged that nobody can explain how to make it economically viable. It’s simply a fact. All of the hand-wringing about the evil Republicans who want to cut Social Security is a smokescreen for what caused the program to enter into a state of agony.
If there’s mass migration, there won’t be welfare protections in the widest sense of the word. There also won’t be many of the constitutional protections. Welfare and a constitution can only exist within a nation-state. If there’s no nation-state, there’s no constitution, no Social Security, no police, no Medicare. It’s a dog-eat-dog, crime-soaked, scary and miserable global shantytown.
