I READ ENID BLITON IN THE LATE SIXTIES AND EARLY SEVENTIES IN PORTUGAL: The English conquistador of the Indian Imagination. Reading Enid Blyton in 80s India.
It breaks my heart what Great Britain has become.

IF ICE WEREN’T DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB THE LEFT WOULDN’T BE PUSHING BACK SO HARD: And if the ICE should break, Part 1.
HIRING FOR ANY REASON BUT COMPETENCE TURNS EVERYTHING TO SH*T: Potomac Sewage 9,900% Error: DC’s DEI‑Focused Water Authority Can’t Count E. coli.
HE’S NOT THE ONLY ONE CAUGHT IN THAT TRAP: Bill Maher Reveals Why He Got the COVID Vaccine…and He’s Rather Annoyed About It.
THE LEFT MAKES EVERYTHING POLITICAL: When Sports Were Fun.
THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT ARTISTS WHO DON’T HATE YOU: The whole “we need to support conservative artists!” thing is thinking past the (bad) sale. The right answer is “we need to support an arts community that is open to people who don’t parrot a party line.” Because most artists aren’t conservative or liberal, they’re weird hodgepodges of confusion and chaos and crazy and experimentation and changing beliefs. They’re our reminder that we can grow and shed our skins and feel no shame about learning, evolving, and changing our minds.
AND FOR THE: Cancelled of x.
Or, if you know the writer’s politics, you should support writers to the right of Lenin. (Which M. C. A. Hogarth is, btw.) If you like what they produce that is. But don’t try to hold us to a strict “you must say it this way, and cross all your ts and dot all your is” because when you do that you get the same pap Hollywood and tradpub (with the exception of Baen) is putting out: screeds and political polemic. Not stories with heart and soul, that breathe and move. But if you like a book and find out the writer is to the right of Lenin, throw them some love. They’ve paid a price. Believe me, they’ve paid a price.
CUTE, REALLY CUTE. AS IF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEREN’T ALREADY BLEEDING KIDS: Teachers email parents demanding they don’t homeschool kids – as San Francisco strike grinds into a third day.
IT NEVER WAS: It Is not Just About Guns.
OH, I HOPE HE’S RIGHT: The End of 2Tier Keir. He’s got about two weeks from now. Probably.

AHEM: The 2026 Spring Based Book Sale! Runs Now Through Tuesday February 17, 2026.

THE HORROR. THE HORROR.

You know how many jobs I’ve worked where I didn’t get to eat for 8-12 hours?
Yeah. And I didn’t break any laws. https://t.co/ku0Gijn87k

R.I.P. JOHN EKDAHL:
One of the greatest conservative tweets ever.
Got the message across better than almost anything else about how out of touch journalists were.
RIP, John. https://t.co/VF56GBMcUs

WHERE WE ARE TODAY:
The issue I saw, and still see, is MAGA realized their own “neighbors” would murder them. That was a huge awakening. Translating that into political change is the challenge, made so because the House and Senate GOP despise their own voters. https://t.co/ZJpVe2344C

I also think that looking at the world today, he didn’t want to go to Mars while leaving his rear areas undefended.
