West Dies, Too

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” Since that quote was first published in 2017 by G. Michael Hopf in Those Who Remain, it has become one of the most oft-quoted phrases in the conservative universe. (I’ve quoted it a number of times.) That’s because it perfectly captures the current state of Western civilization. I’ve experienced a good bit of that Western civilization. I’ve had the good fortune to have lived over a quarter of my life outside of the United States. I’ve lived in Cuba—albeit on a rather well-known American base rather than in the Communist part—

Transsexuals are still transvestites
7 replies
Transvestite: noun
Someone who adopts the dress or manner or sexual role of the opposite sex.
Transvestism: The practice of dressing in a manner traditionally associated with the opposite sex.
When did transvestites become transexuals? And why? During the fifties here in America, transvestites (remember Christine Jorgensen?) were the stuff of snide jokes. They were laughed at as misfit men trying to be women. Later, there was Bruce Jenner, who also was a transvestite and who later named himself Caitlin Jenner and demanded everyone else call him by that name. Jenner is still a cross-dressing man in women’s clothing. How did Americans get so afraid of calling them transvestites?
Joe Biden Is No Longer In Touch With Reality

Is President Joe Biden making any decisions anymore? Who knows? Probably not. Heck, it was debatable from day one whether he was the one actually in charge of his administration. Well, now he’s made it crystal clear that he’s utterly disconnected from reality.
According to White House insiders, Biden is reportedly lamenting his decision to to drop out of the presidential election, and—try not to laugh—he still believes he could have easily defeated Donald Trump had he stayed in the race.
Joe Biden regrets having pulled out of this year’s presidential race and believes he would have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election –
The Capital Is Like Brigadoon
5 replies
I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember the musical Brigadoon. It was about a Scottish village that disappears in the mists and only reappears once every hundred years. The District of Columbia and its federal components often remind me of that. On a local level (perhaps a tradition from pre-air conditioning days) the place is somnolent for all practical purposes in the summer and even through much of the spring. Then, just before Thanksgiving, the courts suddenly schedule hearings on cases that have been moldering for months in the clerks’ offices and Congress starts to hustle to get a continuing resolution --

An easier way to show illegals the door
12 replies
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal by a Jess Bravin reported that attorneys general of many blue states are not going to give up quietly when Donald Trump, as president, begins to honor his election promises, such as the mass deportation of illegals. “A host of blue states are staffing up and building out legal battle plans for Trump’s return trip to the White House.”
When Donald Trump will be sending ICE agents to blue sanctuary states to solicit help from local sheriffs and other police forces, the only response he may get is “civil and criminal litigation” from entities such as Maryland’s Federal Litigation Unit.
On Thursday we took a first look at “Pictures from the Biden family business.” The story of the Biden family business — i.e., money for nothing — takes us back to the Hunter Biden laptop, the Deep State coverup of its authenticity courtesy of Antony Blinken and the Dirty 51, and the 2020 Biden presidential campaign. It is a key that unlocks a secret history — or unlocked a secret history. Anyone who cared to know long ago scoped out the heart of the story.
The photos provide further evidence that Joe Biden was lying when he disclaimed involvement in the family business. Until this week the photos
The US hasn’t learned lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic that it could use to mitigate the threat of pathogens like H5N1 bird flu that keep showing signs of their own pandemic potential, health experts told CNN Friday.
“We kind of have our head in the sand about how widespread this is from the zoonotic standpoint, from the animal-to-human standpoint,” Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator under President Donald Trump, said on “CNN Newsroom” with Pamela Brown.
Birx called for much wider-spread testing of farm workers who make up the majority of identified cases in the US, noting the country is heading
Woman of the Year!

The Associated Press announced its awards for the top women athletes of 2024. Caitlin Clark won the title, as you would expect. But then you have this:
Olympic gymnast Simone Biles was second with 25 and boxer Imane Khelif was third, getting four votes.
What is odd about this is that Imane Khelif isn’t a woman. He is a man who boxed in the women’s division in the Paris Olympics. This came after he was repeatedly disqualified from women’s events because he has male genitalia and XY chromosomes. The Olympics let him compete as a woman, apparently because he says he is a woman, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Listen to any speech given by Democrats in 2024, and you’ll be bombarded by buzzwords, sloganeering, euphemisms, and phrases that provide a constant diversion from answering truthfully. During this election cycle, the language is changing so fast that we need this updated glossary of terms to understand exactly what they’re talking about.

Affordable Housing: Housing that is government subsidized to below-market value, ruining the value of compatible unsubsidized housing in the nearby area. So what? Ownership is oppressive and harmful to those who don’t have it. From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs. Marxism is so cool!
Don’t Take the “F” Train

The New York Post has the story of the New York subway murderer who was apprehended today after burning a woman to death on the F train. The Post reports the story under the narrative headline “Fiend accused of burning woman to death on NYC subway is illegal migrant from Guatemala who sneaked into US after he was deported.”
Bill Melugin adds this footnote on X:
Per DHS sources, the suspect accused of burning a woman to death on a NYC subway is a Guatemalan illegal alien who was previously deported by the Trump administration and re-entered the U.S. illegally as a gotaway at an unknown time & location.
More white-on-black racism that didn’t happen to prove how rampant white-on-black racism is, from a story out of Tennessee:
An open meeting on campus culture is being held Wednesday night at Rhodes College.
The meeting was called after racist messaging targeting Black students was found on campus.
The vandalism was strewn across the National Panhellenic Council Plaza, which is the only space on campus to pay tribute to the historically Black sororities and fraternities.
Another false flag—one of the few political strategies the deceitful and crooked left actually has at their disposal—add it to the list.

Iran, the ninth-largest oil producer in the world, doesn't have enough energy to keep the lights on or the factories humming — and that's just one element of the country's growing polycrisis.
"The country was virtually shut down to save energy" for most of last week, according to a weekend report in the New York Times. Even President Masoud Pezeshkian can't hide the scope of the country's energy troubles. "We are facing very dire imbalances in gas, electricity, energy, water, money, and environment," he admitted in a live TV address this month. "All of them are at a level that could turn into a crisis."

The Washington Post and the New York Times have a (mostly second or third-hand) write-up of what is supposedly going on inside Biden’s head as he heads towards the exit.
According to the Times, Biden is spending a lot of time getting to know Pope Francis.
Mr. Biden is also going to the Holy See to seek solace and “relief” as he exits the world stage. [SNIP] They are both elderly leftists best known for speaking in word salads and wrecking formerly respected institutions. Maybe they can trade jobs for a week. No one will even notice.
The Silicon Valley immigration priority was not the topic I thought would explode and fracture the tenuous MAGA alignment with the New Big Tech group represented by Elon Musk and his billionaire network. However, we learn more every day. This is a jaw-dropping moment to watch unfold as a very influential sector of the political discourse begins a full-frontal attack against those who are pointing out how the tech community abuse H1B visas to replace American workers. In the background, of course, is the context of widespread immigration policy fraud being one of the priorities for the average Trump supporter.

Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Americas Newsroom,” Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary commented on President-elect Donald Trump’s comments about Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States.
O’Leary said, “More than half of Canadians, there’s 41 million of them, want to know more, want to understand what the proposal really is because the concept of an economic union has been bandied around for 40 years and it makes sense because the resources Canada have, the U.S. needs, particularly power and water. But there’s something else, you know, we’ve been talking about the border between Canada and the United States. That’s not the problem.”
President Biden privately regrets dropping out of this year’s presidential election and reportedly insists he could’ve beaten President-elect Trump if he wasn’t pushed out of the race by his own party.
Biden and some of his aides have boasted to confidantes “in recent days” that the president should’ve stayed in the race and could’ve won a second term, the Washington Post reported Saturday citing multiple anonymous sources briefed on the conversations. (Photo) Instead, the 82-year-old buckled to pressure by Democratic Party elites to drop out of the race in July because of poor poll numbers and his rocky June 27 debate performance, in which he gave incoherent answers and appeared to
The hunters are becoming the hunted.
Earlier this month it was reported that Jack Smith’s team of partisan prosecutors are lawyering up as they brace for President Trump.
According to Rolling Stone, Jack Smith’s team of prosecutors are also combing through their private and professional communications to make sure they haven’t written anything that can be subpoenaed.
Are they deleting evidence of misconduct and anti-Trump bias?
Late last month Jack Smith moved to dismiss both federal cases against President Trump as Trump plans to go scorched earth and fire the special counsel’s entire team of prosecutors.
Jack Smith asked to dismiss both the January 6 case and classified documents case against President Trump.
President Biden still regrets dropping out of the 2024 presidential race last summer after mounting pressure from Democrats to step aside, according to a report. The president recently told people that he still believes he could have beaten Trump in the November election, despite his rough debate performance in June and his low approval numbers that forced him to leave the race, according to the Washington Post, citing people familiar with the conversations.

Linda McMahon As Secretary of Education
Has Academia Shaking 18 replies
President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon is sending shockwaves through the ivory towers of American higher education. For years, university presidents and chancellors have enjoyed a largely unchecked reign, overseeing bloated bureaucracies, skyrocketing tuition, and ideological indoctrination masquerading as scholarship. McMahon's appointment and President-Elect Trump’s comments about reforming higher education signals the arrival of long-overdue accountability that I and many others in higher academia have been praying for.
McMahon is the former head of the Small Business Administration.
Throughout the 2024 campaign, Democrats insisted that we simply had to vote for Kamala Harris or else the nation would descend into the fascist rule of Bad Orange Man, the most dangerous enemy of “our democracy” since the reigns of terror of his good friends and role models Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan. It was all bunkum, of course, and an extended use of the old tactic of accusing the enemy of what they were guilty of doing, as it was the Biden-Harris regime that took actual steps to criminalize opposition to its policies. And now, even after their disastrous electoral defeat,
As RedState previously reported, President Joe Biden decided to drop an unwelcome Christmas surprise on the families of murder victims whose killers were on federal death row by commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 inmates to life in prison without the possibility of parole. "... guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level," Biden's said in a statement posted to the White House website Monday.
