Getting married and becoming a dad was the best thing that ever happened to me
Remembering all the movies, shows, and jokes that portrayed being married with kids as a drag. Yeah it's not always easy, but it is ultimately the best thing
And if you let it, it's eye opening. Fake political ideologies of conservatism and liberalism vanish and the question becomes what is good for my family and my community
There's no secret though. It's just a continual process of learning and becoming better, especially in an era where concepts of manhood and fatherhood are so skewered, but it's worth it

A Canadian DMs Swalwell to say he should be punished for treason. Swalwell earns his trust, the man apologizes, says, "You're not so bad after all."

Then, in the most bitch made move ever, Swalwell admits his kindness was just a ruse to report the guy to the authorities.
Imagine calling the feds because someone said something mean to you on the internet *in a different country* and then reframing it as an act of bravery
Swalwellian "heroism" is what happens when the virtues of the lowest are elevated as good things, the behavior of the sniveling worm becomes the model

These interviews with advocates of CRT are important:

-they want a narrative of America that emphasizes racial grievances

-Black History Month (February) is insufficient, they want *all* history recast through the lens of racial grievances against whites
nbcnews.com/meet-the-press…
I appreciate Jelani Cobb here who says that historical narratives are essentially subjective, and the advocates of CRT has simply chosen to emphasize grievances against white people
The opponents of CRT should not shy away from saying simply, we choose a positive vision of American history, we choose to reject white shaming, anti American, anti Western accounts

Setting aside the fact that the media and liberal intelligentsia lionized people who did things like flip off Trump...

Libs have pissed on Middle Americans, their way of life, their politics, their beliefs, for decades. "Our culture" is built on deriding one half of the country
You don't get to bitch and moan about cultural rot while being indifferent to or downplaying the sustained, increasingly vulgar attacks on the Americans who have been placed on "the wrong side of history" by the freaks who have declared themselves on "the right side of history"
Yes, "Let's Go Brandon" is churlish and in some ways inane because it does not translate into meaningful action. But it's a start, and we should hope that a "fuck you" politics continues to manifest itself in ways like, for example, parents chasing out pro CRT educators

Die Hard is the best Christmas movie for our time because it features a man besieged, on the one hand, by criminal scum, and on the other hand by hollow bug men: scheming FBI agents, a cretinous deputy police chief, and parasitic journalists
John McClane places honor and action above justice, when justice is administrated by cowards and bureaucrats
Journos spend the movie trying to control and profit from the story rather than report truthfully, and even cultivate sympathy for the enemy. It's the perfect depiction of journos in our time and it ends with one being punched deservedly in the face for endangering McClane family

Beneath the cringe and dumb politics of Populism Inc (Trump) and Conservatism Inc (GOP establishment) is an undercurrent of radicalism among young right wing people that we haven't really seen manifest politically yet
The important thing going forward is to ensure that radicalism doesn't get jiujitsued and assimilated into dead end grifts but instead is allowed to take on a life of its own
It will have to both infiltrate the GOP and create its own things but it cannot lose sight of the fact that the establishment cannot ultinately be reformed, it needs radical change

Thank you Trump for doubling down in your defense of the humble, the meek, the powerless who do not have a voice: Fauci, Pfizer, and the federal government
Personally I think it's a real sign of courage that Trump didn't hold Fauci accountable for funding the Wuhan lab because Larry Kudlow told him libs wouldn't like it, and instead became a salesman for big pharma and a friend of Fauci
If he had a coherent, consistent message, it would be less detestable. But the wavering, the pathetic flip flopping based on what GOP shills like Kudlow tell him he should say, is pathetic
