Babies and Bathwater
Kudos. But how many hundreds or even thousands of years have Ethiopians been perfecting this craft? It’s impressive. I couldn’t do it, short of lots of months of training and practice. Simple question: what have predominately white western men accomplished in the same space of time? That’s all. Answer the question. What I’m aiming to…
Read MoreThere is no Constitution Day
Happy “Fuck Off! Day.” The US Constitution and every single federal thing that has ever come after The Declaration of Independence in these last 250 years have been steps backward. Fuck off says it all. That is all. Enjoy your beers and BBQs.
Read MoreThe Supreme Court Has Uprooted the Deep State
Something quite monumental happened yesterday, and I’m going to write about it. All the daily political antagonism is mostly just an eye-roll and a yawn to me. I never engage in the social media back-and-forth over it because that’s for stupid people—people who don’t really look at the long swath of history in anything. They…
Read MoreIs X Really “Maximally Truth-Seeking?”
When everyone claims to chase truth, who’s actually catching it? In a world where “truth-seeking” has become a badge of honor, the question isn’t who says they’re doing it—it’s who really is. This post takes aim at the self-proclaimed rationalists, skeptics, and thinkers who wear epistemic virtue like armor. Are they pursuing truth or protecting…
Read MoreReporting Back From Thailand: From Squalor to Luxury, Part V
We’re so busy and tired. Every day. Sunup (05:15) to sundown + is how we live out here in rural NE Thailand. Every day, I’m up beteen 04:00 – 05:00. I like the dawn coming on. I feel substantially alive and well. Honestly, there is too much going on to document even close to everything.…
Read MoreElon Musk: First Trillionaire, Biggest Target
I loathe stupid people and fucktards. So I knew the news was coming, but I saw it today while scrolling through Elon Musk’s platform X. Everyone moaning about his trillionaire status is posting there—how ironic is that? I figured I’d do a post. It’s Sunday, so it’d be members-only, paywalled. I scrolled down and something…...
My Workaholic Wife
I’ll get to the theme of this post in due time, but first I wanted to lay out my evolving thoughts on how I think, work, and write. In my last post I touched on this sun-up-to-sundown way of living. It doesn’t mean you can’t stay up and party some nights. It’s simply your baseline.…...
The Democrat and RINO Bloodbath
It’s a day or so since the Trump Train annihilated so many. This will be quick. It’s 0645 am and I need to be out of my Pattaya condo by about 0900 am. Far arrived last evening with my pickup about 2215 last night from Mukdahan, a 14-hour drive. … I laugh about the political…
Read MoreWhy Trump’s Strategic Position on China Is Critical
That’s USS Reeves (CG-25) pulling in to moor in Qingdao, China, in 1986. I was the ship’s electrical officer. It was the first US Navy visit to China in 40 years. Coincidentally, that was 40 years ago now. Here’s what I posted on X about that: Seeing the news surrounding this momentous gathering is a…
Read MoreA Brief Statement About the Future
I’m preparing a solid post about the practicalities of diet. No spoilers. It will be comprehensive and huge. I have 9 days left here in Pattaya and am obsessed all day long, every day, about all the building I’m doing and am going to be doing up in rural NE Thailand. In the meantime, I…
Read MoreUnique Political Commentary—4 Issues
I don’t do it often, but now and then, a few issues pop up in the political sphere, and my takes are always different from all the bleating sheep out there—who follow the news only to know what to “think” and regurgitate. Today’s subjects are: Here we go. But first, quick admin note. Grok 4.3…...
The Choreography of the State of the Union Address
This will be short, but because it’s Saturday when I got off my ass, that means it’s for paying members. Monday through Friday, open and public. Saturday and Sunday, paying members only. No planning. Just random. Choreography is the theme....
Banned Permanently By Facebook; Yawn
Back in 2021, I deleted it myself. A year or so later I started it up again because it does well in attracting new followers for this blog, and some of those become paying members. I had heard that it wasn’t really doing the 30-day jail sentences anymore. From about 2016 or so to 2021,…
Read MoreLeftists, Grasping at Straws, Invoke the Declaration of Independence
This is probably a dead post because conservative Christians grasp at the Bible and the US Constitution. But the founding document of America is the Declaration of Independence. Christians only make slight reference to it because its essential, meaningful message is independence from “God,” too. Christians are just as fundamentally, eternally dishonest as all people…
Read MoreBeing Obsessed With Epstein Is Childish
Well, I’m officially sick of all the Epstein stuff. It’s just gotcha politics with little substance. It’s running to the teacher and tattling. It’s guilt by any association that can be found or contrived. It is, ironically, most childish. If you have solid evidence OR firsthand witness testimony of actual abduction, forced sex enslavement, rape,…
Read MoreThe Rip; Damon, Affleck, Rogan and Contrasts
This is a rare one from me, because I don’t often do a whole post about a film. I’m making an exception. I’m so fucking tired of my daily scrolls and forays into both X and Facebook. It strikes me that if I scroll through 300 posts from others or so, depending on the day,…
Read MoreHighlights From My Road Trip
Blogging Has Turned for Me Blogging has turned for me from something that was once a core part of my life—and this is rather serious and important to me, because I’ve been doing it for now 22 or 23 years, and I was very productive at it for a long time. I mean, I maintained…...
Merry Christmas Joy … To The World
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, and what I mean by that is that somehow this year feels different. A couple of years ago, I nonchalantly did a video on Christmas, noting that it was the 13th or 14th year since 1984 that I hadn’t been with family for the holiday, because I’ve…
Read MoreThe Land of Conservative Freedom
I’ve said many times that I love my adopted country, Thailand, because it is socially, politicaly, and religiously conservative. Things don’t change much. Thailand translates literally to “land of the free.” You’re welcome to check me on that. SO another way to read this piece (link below) is that Thailand is fine just the way…
Read MoreEpstein Again; No Victims
What pisses me off most when I think about this whole Epstein circus—and honestly, I don’t even think the Epstein thing itself is that big a goddamn deal—is how it’s been artificially inflated into this massive scandal. And the main thing keeping the hype alive? All these supposed “files” and documents we’re told are gonna…
