Take Off For The Great White ONT

Well guys, it seems like we're not alone. The civil unrest has reached Canada.

Virtue: Signaled

So the other day, I think it was....Wednesday? Might have been Tuesday. Anyhow, millions of people posted black boxes to their social media accounts in order to “affect change”. There aren't enough rolleyes in the world.

Red On Red Violence

OK, everybody here who always agrees 100% with another person, raise your hand.

I didn't think so. One of the things that drives me nuts is how the left tends to march in lockstep while on the right many people are willing to scream “Burn the witch!” when anyone else on our side disagrees about something or does something that they don't like. And I'm not talking about the Never Trump grifters like Billy Krystol (Your Captain), Rick Wilson (Your Ship's Doctor), Max Boot (Your Yoeman Purser), George Will (Your Bartender), Jonah Goldberg (Vicki) and Tom “The Expert” Nichols (Your Cruise Director). These people are rightfully excoriated by Ace on a daily basis. And I realize that part of it can be attributed to the fact that we're individualists while they are collectivists.

No, I'm talking about the vitriol directed from the right at people like Candace Owens (She's an opportunist who changed positions!) or Charlie Kirk (Trumper!). Both of them are doing more for the conservative cause right now than a thousand op-eds in the WSJ. You build a coalition by working with people who, if you're lucky, you will agree with 80% of the time. You can compromise on the 20%, or work with other folks on that, but schisms in the name of ideological purity are a sure way to hand the country over to the commies.

Anyhow, here's an article In defense of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA.

Covid-19 and climate change have shown us how useless “models” can be, but, strangely enough, they seem to be more valid when there's no real world advantage to giving them a left-wing slant. Odd, that.

Clickbait Articles

OK, yes, these are clickbait sites. But that doesn't mean you won't find anything of value on them.

Tonight's ONT brought to you by June:

ETA Update on moving to Tyler. They countered and we accepted. About 7 grand more than I was hoping the counter offer would be, but I wasn't going to quibble as accepting means they will cancel the open house they had scheduled for this weekend. So, unless something goes wrong (barring something like a bad inspection, there are 2 things that are possible but not probable) we're Texas bound.
