The Rittenhouse trial is over, as is the McMichaels trial, and we are now looking at the trial for the Daunte Wright shooting. While he'll never live a normal life, or likely work a normal job again, I'm glad Kyle was acquitted. I'm disappointed, but understand to a degree why, that he's giving interviews instead of taking time to get himself together. I also don't blame him in saying something along the lines that we can all agree on Black Lives Matter. He's young, and as I'…

I mentioned in my last post on how far back this advocacy of pedo acceptance went in the so-called intellectual class [https://thelastredoubt.com/not-cute/], but since writing that was reminded by someone - I no longer remember where - of a couple of older Aydin Paladin videos on the leftist history of pedo advocacy.

They are hypocrites who live in gated communities! They're trying to push conservatives out of supposedly liberal spaces, and converging companies and hobbies! Yeah, about that. Who. Whom.…
Over at the Economist they ask the question of "What explains America's mysterious baby bust?" [http://archive.is/kzqwF]. Immediately under the headline they note "Hispanic Americans are having fewer babies, as are city-dwellers". You don't say? For example, they observe: > The fertility rate has fallen more sharply in large cities than in smaller cities or rural areas (see chart 2). Then immediately try to explain it as follows: > Rents and prices have soared, making it harder to afford a…
