“The Baltimore Rats” – that does have a nice ring to it as a baseball team name, actually…

Thanks for the links.

I, obviously, need to do a better job of keeping up with what you have to say.

The only countries where socialism and Marxism are not dirty words are those that never felt them on their own hides: USA, Western Europe, Canada, Australia, etc. Eastern Europe is now mostly free from these illusions, and Czech Republic and Hungary who were military invaded by Soviets are the most ardent anti-Communists.

Reality in your face is ignored by the left. If it is impossible to be igrored it is explained away as the dirty, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, islamophobic, transgender haters. There is only one way to resolve this. CW2.

Read Unitended Consequences by John Ross. It is a road map.

Geoffrey Britain:

I think you completely misunderstood what Kundera was saying.

He was speaking ironically about creating the truth, the most democratic truth. He was speaking as though he was in the shoes of the people “creating the truth”—what they believe, as relativists and propagandists. Not what he believes is the actual truth, otherwise known as “reality”—the truth his grandmother knew because she didn’t have a middleman trying to tell her lies and therefore create a new “truth.”

They’ve provided the “rat infested” crisis and Trump’s just the man to rub their collective faces in it.

Geoffrey Britain: I’ve been waiting for a Republican to do this in a blunt way. Trump has fulfilled my wish in spades.

Did anyone watch “The Wire,” a long-arc tv series from the 2000s? It was kind of a Tom Wolfe take — a mosaic of interlocking stories at different social levels — on Baltimore except it was written by typical leftie screenwriters.

The only problem was that they were honest enough to portray Baltimore politics accurately, i.e. controlled by liberals and blacks, so there were no heartless, corrupt, white conservatives to blame when you looked up the food chain. Baltimore’s problems were Baltimore’s problems, not created by Reagan, Bush or Trump if he were President back then.

“The Wire” never confronted this reality, but did create some memorable characters and plots.

You had better believe that biological male in a dress really is a woman or else….A while back there was a debate on facebook where I was arguing with a progressive about the case of a biological male in a women’s shelter for women who in many cases had been abused by men. One of the actual females had complained about having to share a room with this guy and had been threatened by the Canadians. The guy I was debating actually seriously asked where should the trans person be able to go if “she” couldn’t go to the women’s shelter ? I said not there, because he is not a she. Apparently the consensus of the progs is that that is hateful.

I remember things being polarized and Democrats to the left, but I don’t remember anything like today. Today’s Democrats sound close to the Weather Underground without the clotted Marxspeak.

Damn you, Bill Ayers!
