Vox Clamantis," military intelligence vet, formerly of the Trump administration and legal eagle extraordinaire digging into the J-6 prosecutions, which are unprecedented political persecutions, the crucial US vs Fischer case coming up at SCOTUS, the pesky Constitution and gun rights, and more!
Ffrequently Asked Questions: What does the double-f in names like "Ffolkes" mean?Answer: the double-lower-case "ff" was used to indicate a capital "F" in old scripts where there was no capital F at all. But this spelling -- which wasn't really a spelling at all, just an attempt to signal a capital "F" in names -- got mistakenly incorporated into English giving rise to names like "ffoulkes" and "ffrench." HL Mencken says that even though the original spelling would be "ffoulkes," you should go ahead and capitalize the first "F" so it doesn't look completely stupid. "Ffoulkes" looks 10% less stupid than "ffoulkes."
Bloody Knows (Or, Taken Completely Out of Kotex) "'Our speech is violence, but their violence is speech. . . ' Democrat Leftists are allowed to say whatever the hell they want, regardless of consequences real or imagined because they get to control the language. Unless and until we no longer accept that situation, we'll always be under the gun. And please don't take 'under the gun' out of context, or else my head will explode. Literally. Or not." My latest essay at Taki's Magazine. Please read and comment! [J.J. Sefton]
Quick movie review: The Beekeeper is definitely worth the $6 rental. Written by the guy who wrote Equilibrium and featuring the same kind of Unstoppable Force of Nature hero.
Bonus movie review: The Amazon Roadhouse remake is also really good. I'm as surprised to write it as you are to read it. Not sure why they didn't release it into theaters. Disclaimer: I barely remember the first one and have no affection for it so my review is not any kind of comparison at all. I'm not the kind of guy who would object that they "totally changed Dalton's character" or whatever. Though they did change his character.
Candace Owens leaves the Daily Wire, I assume with no love lostBTW what does "no love lost" mean? Or rather, I know what it means, but why does it mean that? Why doesn't it mean that they love each other -- none of their love has been lost?
Answer: Per dictionary.com, it used to mean that the two parties were in love:
no love lost
Dislike, ill will, hate, as in There's no love lost between Bob and Bill. This term originated in the 1500s and until about 1800 could indicate either extreme love or extreme hate. The former was meant in "No love between these two was lost, each was to the other kind" (Reliques of Ancient English Poetry, 1765). Today, however, the term signifies ill will exclusively.
No word on why the meaning changed.
The Beekeeper just became available for rental and so I know what I'm doing for the next couple of hours. I'll let you know if it's worth the six buck.
Kate Middleton has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapySo the mystery is solved, and apparently Meghan Markle will not be able to use this to ascend to Kweenhood. The people who made such a huge deal of this should feel bad now but they won't. (In fairness, I guess technically she has some (entirely symbolic) function in the government so this sort of thing should be disclosed. Maybe they just should have said "her childhood stutter has resurfaced.")
