Trump 2024

Oh Look, Trump Again

Ego, thy name is Trump. In a move sure to shock no one, The Donald tossed his MAGA cap in the ring for 2024. And the loonies are already salivating at the prospect of their messiah winning the Presidency again. For the, according to them, third time. Of course they...

What Is Blind Lemur Conservatives?

It began as a joke – something so obvious even a blind lemur could see it. The Democrats seem canine-centric (Blue Dog, Yellow Dog), so I figured we on the right could use a fun animal, and frankly, lemurs are all the rage! So I hear. Kinda. Anyway, after deciding that the leadership is so inept that a blind lemur could lead better, I decided to create this movement. And perhaps even spin it off into the real world. Stranger things have happened.
Post Election Open Letter to the IL GOP

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

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...

Marijuana Excuses Murder?

Marijuana Excuses Murder?

In 1936 Reefer Madness was released, wherein marijuana use caused murder and insanity. Needless to say, it was roundly panned, mocked, and mostly forgotten. The reasons for this include, well, it being a really poorly-made film; but also because the portrayal of the...

Reading Controversial Law Because The Media Doesn’t

Reading Controversial Law Because The Media Doesn’t

I last did this back when several states had passed heartbeat abortion laws. The recent frenzy over Georgia's SB202, with a 64 line formal title I won't be reproducing here, also known as the Election Integrity Act of 2021, has spurred me to do this again. In brief,...

Mask Mandates Absolutely Don’t Work

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

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 = Racists?

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.
