  • Sandbox – 7aug20

    [What no one talks about is the blatant fact that Joe Biden is now America’s Manchurian candidate as his platform has migrated from ‘bipartisan civility’ to hard left socialism.  That ol’ Bumblebrain is the ‘safe alternative’ to Trump and will bring the country back on even keel is perhaps the biggest lie that the Dems…

  • Sandbox – 27jul20

    [Does everyone know what Nevada County Supes are planning to vote on tomorrow?  Heidi Hall (District1) plans to introduce Urgency Ordinance Measure 37 that would impose draconian fines on local residents for not wearing a mask, even while social distancing.  This is the latest of the power-mad disease infecting political pinheads across the country.  Write…

    [Given this week’s SCOTUS ruling on Indian lands in Oklahoma (here and here), the future of all 19th century abrogated treaties with our indigenous Americans will come up for review.  All this will create chaos in the governmental jurisdictions involved, not the least being the status of non-Indians and their property rights.  gjr]

  • Sandbox – 3jul20

    [Alex Berenson on the real skinny behind Covid-19 reporting.  Short book and very much worth a read if you’re interested in debating the pandemic, how it’s reported, and various response policies (here).  Apologies for letting the last sandbox languish a bit too long; we're working through a family medical emergency here.  gjr]

  • Sandbox – 24jun20

    [In the intro to the last Sandbox, my invitation to readers to discuss the dollar-value of human life went over like a turd in a punchbowl.  It appears that the best approach to discussing the value of human lives is just to bloviate with a lot of virtue signalling thrown in.  That's supposed to divert…

    [The value of anything is highly subjective, always determined by a 'seller' and 'buyer' when they strike a deal.  Therefore the value of any given 'thing', e.g. human life, varies according to who is the human and who is the 'buyer'.  Any values set by third parties with no skin in the game are arbitrary…

  • Sandbox – 12jun20

    [The dollar value of human lives was touched on in the last Sandbox.  I predict that this topic will be quickly forgotten by our leftwing readers, since it will be a debate to which they must needs arrive unarmed.  gjr]

  • Sandbox – 4jun20

    [Apologies for letting the 2jun20 Sandbox get out of hand with all of its misplaced comments that I should have deleted as they appeared.  Here I’m talking about the pandemic and George Floyd response comments that had homes under my other topical commentaries.  I’ll try to do a much better job in this sandbox to…

  • Sandbox – 2jun20

    [It's now established that we have a full-service House Speaker in Nancy Pelosi.  She has donned the additional mantle of Congressional Spiritual Adviser.  And as her first task in that new responsibility, she has taken the President under her wing with pointed counsel directing his scriptural pursuits.  We already know of her as a woman…

  • Sandbox -26may20

    [What remains the point of debates which are empty of citations that are commonly accepted by the debating parties?  As I have pontificated here for some years, and am now joined by my betters like Victor Davis Hanson among others, we are so polarized that we no longer share any cognitive common ground.  In other…
