ABSOLUTELY WHAT HE SAID:  I hear all the time about how Gen Z is turning socialist because they have no economic hope and how I just don’t understand that we need to do more socialist stuff so they’ll still vote for us. Well…. I’ve spent quite a bit of time as a Silicon Valley startup/VC lawyer, and there is no quicker way to turn a young leftist into a junior Milton Friedman than starting their own business. I saw it over and over and over—smart twenty somethings with coding skills, blue hair and a Che Guevara poster gradually becoming more and more conservative as they slowly comprehend just how many regulatory hurdles there are to running a business and raising capital (and the amount of money they had to pay me to help do that navigation). We should all be encouraging young people to start their own businesses. They don’t need to be some novel tech business that attracts VC funding either. Every community has service and product needs just itching to be filled by someone with a little energy and smarts.

YES, BUT THEN AGAIN WHEN DEALING WITH LIBERAL FEMALES, ONE JUST WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO THINK:  I have now read this highlighted sentence seventeen times because I assumed I wan’t actually reading what was written. Surely my eyes didn’t actually read this. Maybe someone accidentally pasted in dialogue from “The Onion.” back when it was funny. But no. She is saying that she delayed reporting a rape because she agreed with the accused, politically. This is one of those moments where, if your IQ is over 85, your brain quietly excuses itself from the room.

OK. So Helen’s beauty sparks a war.

Penelope embodies clever loyalty.

Circe turns men into pigs, which frankly is still the most realistic female character arc in literature.

THE DECLARATION AS THE SIGNERS UNDERSTOOD IT: I’ve read more analyses  than I care to remember of the true meaning of the Declaration of Independence, and I have to say Rod Martin’s “The Christian Worldview of ‘Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness'” does a fine job of explicating key phrases as all but a couple of the signers — Jefferson and Franklin — likely understood them. And even TJ and Ben had to speak in the language of the rest of the signers. And all of them understood those inalienable rights to be characteristic of every man, not just Christians,

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

The reason the @nytimes can practice gross journalist malpractice, like they did to Lyndsey, is because they know there will be no consequences, from their company, from their media peers, and from their subscribers. In fact, protecting Democrats is how you climb the ladder. https://t.co/ztkh9F6ARs

”A PEOPLE BUILDING TOWARD THE STARS HAS NO TIME TO BECOME BIG BROTHER:”

We are living through a civilizational tipping point, and almost no one is naming it properly. So I will.

Where we come from, where we’re headed, and why a chunk of the PayPal Mafia is changing the world for the better in the most literal sense of the term.

Where we come from.

World War II birthed the Europeanist then globalist project, with an originally noble intent: never again. But that project was eaten away from within by a deeply anti-civilizational matrix—the dissolution of nations, cultures, concrete attachments in favor of an abstract, interchangeable, desk-manageable man.

And to make it go down easy, it leaned on ideological vehicles: a wokism that functions as a substitute religion for a West that’s learned to be ashamed of itself. Not necessarily a coordinated conspiracy—more a convergence of forces that all hate the same thing: the free, rooted, self-proud nation.

The result: half a century of managed decadence, packaged as progress.

Read the whole thing.

AN IMPORTANT REMINDER:

Former Gov. Ralph Northam was appointed to a college board by Gov. Abigail Spanberger this year after refusing to resign in 2019 in the face of party-wide demands in the wake of a blackface/Klan hood picture scandal and another admitted blackface incident.

More:

Everyone just shut up and he served a full term. Now, one of the reasons they didn’t force him out is bc their next two in the line of succession were an AG, who also had a blackface scandal, and a Lt. Gov. named Justin Fairfax who had faced sexual assault allegations and fast-forward, just recently murdered his wife. So, maybe Ds in Maine can find someone besides Platner who doesn’t have a racist pic or tattoo and/or violent history with women, but their record thus far not great, and the Virginia Dems don’t offer a template for that.

But Virginia Dems do offer a template of a cushy life after politics, no matter the offense.
