Part of me wonders if Leftwing Media Outlets (but I repeat myself) really hate Tucker Carlson as much as they claim, or if every anti-Tucker screed is really just a way of getting his (insanely popular) content onto their platforms without paying for it?

The Library of Cancelled Films (February 2, 2021 Edition)
Apparently, when I wrote this, I wasn’t thinking big enough. It’s gotten so bad that even the Muppets are in danger of being disappeared down the Memory Hole, now. Sheesh.
Jodi Shaw: American Hero
I think a lot of us have a sense that there is something deeply wrong in America. The sense that there is an army of half-assed mediocre-brained wannabe authoritarians sweeping through our institutions using fear, intimidation, and cancel culture to reshape those institutions in their own vaguely Marixist, and entirely stupid, image. A lot of… Continue reading Jodi Shaw: American Hero
George was right: Part 5467
One of my first posts was about the modern phenomenon of Left Wing book burning. Well that was two weeks ago… This is today. BLM activist fired from Library job after burning books by Conservative authors. Just a reminder… if you are burning books, you are the villain in the story. Also.. George was right.
When the batter won’t swing
If you’re over thirty-five and I ask you to mention three famous running gags from Saturday Night Live during the late 70’s and 80’s, there’s a good chance that SNL portrayals of Presidents Reagan and Ford will be on your list. Chevy Chase as Ford struggling to answer questions and falling down, and Phil Hartman’s… Continue reading When the batter won’t swing
Cancel Culture and Fairness
I don’t think we should tolerate Cancel Culture in a free America, but for now I seem to have lost that argument… and so, I will say this… if we are going to tolerate Cancel Culture, then it must work fairly, no matter who is currently in the guillotine. One side of the poliltical ailse… Continue reading Cancel Culture and Fairness
Never Again… again…
My very first post on the re-launched CONTINENTAL CONGRESS was this one, titled NEVER AGAIN?. In it, I described the basic template that Totalitarian Societies use to first silence, then imprison, and finally, to eliminate political or social undesirables… however they define that term. The Gina Carano affair proves, as if any further proof were… Continue reading Never Again… again…
The commercialization of family strife
And now, finally, we begin to see what the unecessarily public rift between Kellyanne Conway and her daughter was all about… a cynical play for fame and fortune. Just a reminder that you get more of the things you incentivize. Millions of American teens are about to learn that one way to get rich and… Continue reading The commercialization of family strife
The Library of Cancelled Films
I was having lunch with Kurt Schlichter the other day (no, I am not above a little name dropping, why do you ask?) and I said something that Kurt, as brilliant as he is, said had not occured to him before. I said that when it comes to cancelling “problematic” films, Jeff Bezos has the… Continue reading The Library of Cancelled Films
Burning Books
Burning books, both literally and figuratively, is coming back into fashion. Sadly, this makes a twisted sort of sense. As we willfully and deliberately forget more and more of our history, there remain fewer and fewer cultural mile markers, like the Nazis, to remind us that burning books is anti-intellectual at best, destructive and evil… Continue reading Burning Books
