It's been a while, and I've accumilated a few odds and ends that don't call for a full post. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hate is bad. So we are told. Of course, the same people will gladly tell us that "White Lives Don't Matter [http://archive.is/ME10Q]". I know, I know, they'll tell you that it's not "white lives" as in "the lives of white people," but instead "white lives" as in "lives lived as if you were white" -…

One thing that's clear in a lot of cases involving violence is that a lot of people are ust idiots.

One of the things that should be plain to see, yet isn't, is the degree to which the left sets things up so that heads, they win, tails, you lose. Take "Black Lives Matter."
