What Is Blind Lemur Conservatives?
Post Election Open Letter to the IL GOP
Well, that happened. In an outcome that shocked no one, except perhaps the man himself, Darren Bailey was roundly beaten in the general election, returning Pritzker to Springfield for another term. It's almost like JB picked the opponent he thought he had the best...
IL Republicans…Failure Theater at It’s Finest
So it wasn't enough for the Illinois Republican party to nominate the Democrats hand-picked candidate. Of course, as soon as Bailey won the primary, the same PAC that promoted him let loose the attack ads - mostly regarding abortion. And by mostly, I mean only. And...
The Republican Primary Is Weird
At least the Illinois Republican gubernatorial primary is. In fact, there is so much weirdness that it feels like some kind of scam or end-run around the will of the electorate. First, some background. Incumbent JB Pritzker is, at best, deeply flawed and unpopular. Of...

Mask Mandates Absolutely Don’t Work
Since there is a problem on the left of only reading what they want to read, let me clear this up in the beginning: masks are not mask mandates. That second word, MANDATES is the issue. On the off chance someone reads this, I just want to be sure it's hard to...
Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence
Evidence matters. it is the foundation of our legal system, and the rock on which science (and all progress) is built. When there is a suggestion that something happened, our first reaction is to call for evidence, and this is the right reaction. Sometimes, however,...
Predictions for 2020
Predictions for 2020 from BLC. Bonus – we still won’t know if Democratic Party VA Gov. Ralph Northam is the one in blackface or the KKK robes!
Democratic Party Shows Who They Are…
The Democratic Party field of candidates has narrowed, so it is time to dive back into the muck to see who the DNC thinks is worthy of the White House.
Democratic Party = Racists?
With Kamala Harris claiming ‘racism’ as the reason her 2020 bid failed, she inadvertently says something pretty dire about the state of the Democratic Party.
