Understanding Modernity
Tom Knighton, writing at Townhall, notes the lack of stigma that exists in today’s culture and how the absence of such stigma has hurt society generally. The piece is a bit rantish for my taste (All rants are bad except when I write them 😉 ) but the point is well taken. Behaviors that once sat in a corner by themselves are now mainstream and certainly cannot be “judged.”

The End Of The Shutdown Is In Sight
The first procedural hurdle was cleared last night. Coverage – local – on the Hill – the Beeb. Seems like the typical pattern is holding, those moderate and endangered Dems finally reaching a deal with Thune, et. al. – enough to get over the line anyway. And you know it is a good deal because the hard Left is NOT happy.

Our Political Divisions
The election just past in no way represented coalescing of American political thought. The candidates and issues were more extreme and more divisive than ever. On Friday I pointed at a Prop 50 ad from California that simply spewed political hatred and division without any context or idea about the issue at hand. Long term, this is not a recipe for a healthy democracy like ours.

Media Extremes
The Free Press has declared full war against the streak of antisemitism in the extreme right. I first covered it based on a couple of articles they published a couple of weeks ago, noting the difference between friends and allies. They published another one this week that makes a rather important point. It is easy to confuse media and politics, but they are not the same.

America The Visceral
I was in California for Tuesday’s election. California is not reporting turnout numbers just yet but based on what I saw, they were low. There were certainly fewer than normal venues as I drove past several that were very active when I was a resident just 30 short months ago and nothing was there. Reports of a “realignment” are quite premature. But I will tell you it was ugly.

Appearances
I awake this morning to the news that Dick Cheney has passed away. Once one of the most powerful figures in the Republican Party and the nation, he was one of the last great servants of the people. Never great with the media, he became the perpetual bridesmaid, serving in high government office with great performance and distinction, culminating in the Vice- Presidency during the Bush 43 administration. By virtue of his great competence, he was constantly fodder for humorists and satirists, some who took their job far too seriously. This made him an easy target for Donald Trump, with whom he had many disagreements. And so at a time when age and infirmity would have relegated him to the political sidelines, he found himself out of the game altogether – which is shameful.

This Could Explain A Lot
Spent a great deal of time yesterday on airplanes. Watched movies. One of them was entitled “Americana.” The movie is described as a “neo-western” which is why I decided to watch it. It was a critical and box office flop. But I did watch it from beginning to end, which I cannot say about the newer Liam Neeson version of “The Naked Gun.” I think the movie very revelatory of how Hollywood views middle America.

Environmental Issues That Matter
When the environmental “movement” began rivers literally burned, litter was far more than a nuisance, and many bodies of water coughed up scores of dead fish on a daily basis. Those conditions are now rare, but true believers chase ephemeral “climate change,” or “pollutants” not yet proven harmful to levels that were below detection just a decade ago, as if the threats were as imminent and acute as when Lake Erie had more dead fish than live ones. Sadly, increasingly, they do so at the expense of those environmental problems that are real and are acute.

As The Shutdown Continues A Facade Crumbles
For decades now Democrats have operated with an air of moral superiority born largely of two things. Firstly, they were the party of the little guy – helping the helpless, feeding the poor and freeing the oppressed. Secondly they uncovered and investigated quite publicly “the greatest scandal in American political history” – Watergate. These pillars are currently crumbling under their feet, leaving them teetering.

The Cold Wars We Do Not Think We Are In Are Getting Hotter
Our Ambassador to the U.N. is getting interrupted like the Soviet Union still existed. President Trump has announced a resumption of nuclear weapons testing. The world is heating up. It has been more than thirty years since the United States conducted nuclear weapons tests other than on a computer. According to the President both Russia and China are conducting such tests despite agreements to cease doing so implemented when we ceased. These tests are primarily an exercise in saber rattling, as opposed to weapons development. The world is heating up in a big way.
