Some days are warmer, some are cooler. Some years are warmer, some are cooler. Some centuries are warmer, some are cooler. Not only does climate vary, but the variability itself is subject to change. Ten degree swings over decade have happened, and when that happens once, usually happens ten or twenty times over the following millenia. Fortunately we have not had anything as bad as that in recent millenia, but during Roman times it was substantially warmer than today, and …

Draining the swamp
Trump has promised to drain the swamp. Then in his acceptance speech, he promised not to drain the swamp. This is less worrying than it might seem, since when you purge powerful people, you don’t want them to see it coming. From now till the start of the purge, he is going to be playing his cards very close to his chest. Any predictions made from his behavior between now and the purge will be incorrect, because his behavior between …
Trumpslide
Voter turnout is massive. You don’t get massive turnout like this to vote for the status quo. If Hillary wins, it will only be by equally massive election fraud. As Stalin said: “I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.” Poll results are based on the theory that white turnout will be about the same as it was when both …
There will be war
Politics is about who whom. Politics is tribalism and sectarianism. The question is simple. Who’s side are these guys on? What tribe to they favor grabbing all the loot, and what tribe to they plan to destroy? Ferguson burning is real politics, not ethanol subsidies. Milwaukee burning is real politics. The violence that followed Trump’s cancelled Chicago rally is real politics. Politics is the destruction of your enemies, the burning of their homes, the seizure of their women. Politics is …
Hillary’s illness
The most notable symptom of her illness is the need for frequent and lengthy “naps”, often at inconvenient times that play hell with her schedule. This sounds like alcoholism, since Parkinsons is bad all the time, while getting drunk comes and goes. Both alcoholism and Parkinsons can cause coughing fits, but by and large, when you get coughing fits in Parkinsons you are pretty far gone and cannot pass for normal even superficially, whereas alcoholics with coughing fits pass for …
Clinton’s Booby Trap
Hillary wants the alt right to take over the right, to become the Republican party. Which means that the alt right gets all the lovely beltway gravy that the Republicans are getting today – and like the Republicans, gets no power. Like the Republicans, becomes the outer party. The Republican party then becomes the white male party because white males are about to permanently outvoted and rendered politically irrelevant. It is an improvement on the current plan of the Republican …
Hillary’s condition
Hillary has been photographed being stabilized by two assistants as she climbs the stairs. This used to be Hollywood’s way of depicting someone as drunk – that he needed assistance to climb stairs without falling over and falling down. Hillary is known to have injured her head by falling down. Hillary has seizures. Seizures are typical of repeated severe alcohol withdrawal. Diazepam is used to control seizures and to treat alcohol withdrawal, and Hillary is accompanied everywhere by a man …
Why Trump is Hitler
You have doubtless seen lots of people arguing that Trump is Hitler. Often “Trump is literally Hitler!” Of course people who read my blog know what “literally” means, and though Trump is obviously not literally Hitler, there is in fact a good argument that Trump is Hitler. But for some strange reason, Democrats never make the argument out loud in plain words. I wonder why. The argument, said outright in plain words, is: Hillary’s nomination speech was in large part …
Alt right at the Republican National Conventional
The left thinks the alt right has taken over the Republican Party and gave the Nazi salute from the Podium, and are fantasizing about creating a replacement Republican party in which white males will no longer have significant representation. The reason the Never Trumpers were unable to agree on anything is that some of them wanted Ted Cruz as nominee, and some of them wanted an unspecified nonwhite female nominee and a general purge of whites and males, to be …
RNC convention: No riots, no floor fight, Trump in charge.
The headlines and stories about the floor fight were written in advance. I heard what I presume was the floor fight live. The speaker called a vote that the troublemakers should not be given the opportunity to sound off, that that part of the proceedings should be skipped. Thunderous ayes. Two or three nays, perhaps four people shouting as loudly as they could. Maybe there were some quieter nays that I did not hear. “Sorry folks”, says the speaker, “the …
