What Is Blind Lemur Conservatives?
Bridge Update 01
I never expected this to have a bridge repair component. But here we are. The infrastructure in Illinois, especially bridges, is dangerously bad.
The Left Will Eat Itself…
There is a trend on the right to celebrate the left’s infighting. We need to stop that, because when they stop infighting, they will overrun us.
It Happened…
The IOC is allowing trans women to compete in the Olympics against biological women. And how does the IOC define a trans woman?
Democratic Party Revealed?
Or, how is 'all hate speech' as a counter to Antisemitism in any way morally different from 'not all men' or 'all lives matter'? It isn't. Not at all. Due to the mainstream media giving Democrats cover, we get a parade of people treating Minnesota representative Ilhan...
Direct Democracy
I saw this endorsement of direct democracy on Facebook, and had to, in the finest conservative tradition, pounce. Here is the image again: Ok, let's unpack that. Using the kind of self-serve kiosks that you see in newer McDonalds is funny, admittedly. Using them in...
Is Criticism of Captain Marvel Legitimate?
I remember it vividly. There was outcry from the media and the fandom over a casting choice. The broad consensus seemed to be that it was pretty much the worst casting decision for the character. Although there was some dissent on who was the right actor for the character. Friends in the fandom and I all agreed, we didn’t think it would work, but we would likely see the movie anyway.
Biology vs Psychology
In which we dive headfirst into one of the most contentious issues in the nation today. Trans representation in sports. Ok, so not the earth-shaking one you might have expected. But this is an issue that has some connection to a lot of what is, perhaps, wrong about...
Another Chicago Election Thought
A key takeaway in this election is that I am filled with a schadenfreude-like glee at one result. Susana Mendoza came in 5th. I wish it was 14th, personally. But I'll take 5th. Why, you might ask, do I care about this, as I have no connection to her, and don't live in...
Incompetence
In 2002, a tanker carrying 9,900 gallons of gas exploded under a bridge in Birmingham, AL, killing the driver, and causing the steel supports to sag around 10 feet on one side (3m). That was January 5th. On January 21, 2002, work began on the removal of the 290′, 6 lane section. On February 27, […]
Lightfoot vs Preckwinkle
So Chicago gets to choose between, barring a wild swing from the mail-in ballots, Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle. No Republican even bothered running, this is a single-party city. The only candidate I even remotely liked, Garry McCarthy, got trounced, receiving 2.7% of the vote (13,000ish votes). So, not only will the first black […]
