I have been smelling a Thermidor in the wind for some time, but expected it to begin with the removal, possibly the lethal removal, of some of the people pulling Biden’s strings. This may have happened in a nonlethal fashion, or perhaps they all changed their minds simultaneously. Whatever happened was less visible than I …

Bidenomics
According to official statistics, everything is coming up roses. Inflation is way down, unemployment is way down, GDP is way up, and we are doing so much better than under the horrible horrible Trump economy. Looking out the window of the plane from ten thousand feet as it comes in to the airport, you can …
The dissolution of the Monasteries 2.0
I always talk about Charles the Second, who undid a left singularity and built good economic and religious institutions. But I also frequently comment that fixing the problem requires the dissolution of the monasteries, which is a reference to Henry the eighth I normally do not cover the news of the day, but couple of …
Not time for war with Islam
Since the war in the Ukraine is not going too well, the faction currently in the saddle in the Global American Empire is looking for war with Islam. For a long time the ruling faction has been seeking to converge Islam, and to this end, because they have had considerable success in converging the official …
The Book of Revelation
Christian evangelicals have a one sided love affair with Israel. They love Israel, and Israel hates them. They misinterpret the Book of Revelations. The Jews have returned to Israel for another chance at redemption, which requires them to come to Jesus. The way the wind blows, they have returned to Israel for another tribulation. If …

After ever increasing efforts to keep their fleet in Sebastopol, the Russians are finally pulling their fleet back, despite clear and overwhelming airsea dominance over Ukraine. If the Russians are pulling their fleet back from Sebastopol, US airsea bases ringing China are just hostages. Drone warfare has become dominant, and …
Ukraine counter offensive update.
I don’t cover the events of the day, but in my previous post I remarked: This is not a tactic that can be repeated too many times. You continually need fresh troops. And they are now running mighty short of fresh troops. At the moment the offensive is stalled, awaiting the next shipment of fresh …
Three months of the greatest Ukrainian offensive
The offensive seems to be turning out much as it turned out three months ago. They have tried for a breakthrough in lots of places over a broad front, with uniformly disappointing results. The goal of counter envelopment of Bakhmut was swiftly abandoned early in the offensive. The goal of cutting through to sea of …
97% of scientists agree that should they fail to worship the climate change demon, they will be sacrificed
I kind of stopped reporting on the climate change hoax years ago, because everyone based knows the truth, but after so long, deserves a recap. Behavior reveals belief. The behavior of the climate priesthood reveals that they do not believe in catastrophic anthropogenic global warming as a scientific material fact, but treat it partly like …
Vivek Ramaswami, empire, and Thermidor
The Republic is dead. No matter what happens, and numerous unexpected and unthinkable twists in the road are coming up, we will end with a Stalin or Napoleon or Cromwell. If we are lucky and brave, a Caesar. Vivek Ramaswami’s policy positions are wonderful. He tries to out Trump Trump. And some faction in the …
