The Post-Partisan Emporium

  Up In Flames An incendiary ritual Radio Far Side Back in high school, a period now know as the Dark Ages, we had an annual bonfire to launch the homecoming ritual, because in Texas, high school football season is a form of religion, and that’s what folks did before carbon dioxide was evil. After high school, I moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I took part in an annual ritual called “ Zozobra ,” or burning of Old Man Gloom, a tradition started in 1924, by Will Shuster. Later, living in London, I experienced  Bonfire Night , in which an effigy of Guy Fawkes is incinerated in a quasi-political purge to commemorate the Gunpowder Plot. Of course, this was long before England became a Muslim country, so I’m not sure if the 300-year-old ritual is still practiced these days. When I moved to Barcelona, there was an occasion when some friends grabbed me and dragged me to Valencia for the  Las Fallas  festival, the highlight of which is  La Cremà …the burning of a lar...

  Crony Capitalism: Everything Has a Price Supplemental industries for sale Donald Jeffries When I was a boy, an obese boy when obesity wasn’t cool, I never dreamed that one day we would all know the glory of paying for water. I would bring a thermos with ice water to baseball games. For basketball games, I drank out of the gym’s water fountain. I had no idea what was in that non-purified water. Fluoride was first added to our water supply in 1945. But that was only in Grand Rapids, Michigan. One of the initial proponents of putting this known poison into our drinking water was Harold Hodge, who was part of the human radiation experiments taking place around the same time. You know, where they injected vulnerable “test subjects” with plutonium and uranium. I guess they anticipated something wonderful happening as a result. The “science” behind putting a deadly toxin in our water was provided by some of the largest corporations in the country; Alcoa, the American Petroleum Institute...

  Yes, Kamala Harris Slept with a  Powerful Man for Political  Advancement But her female privilege means we’re not supposed to talk about it Janice Fiamengo Note: this is a revised version of an earlier  Substack essay . A recent  Time  article, “ Fact-Checking False Claims about Kamala Harris ” [never trust a “fact-checker”] tries to throw cold water on the allegation that  Harris got her start by having an affair with a married man, California politician Willie Brown . Oh well, declares the  Time  article in response, Willie Brown wasn’t  really  married because he and his wife were estranged at the time. And far from being a secret affair, Brown has freely admitted that he “dated” Harris. What kind of sexist prude, the article implies, has a problem with a woman’s freely-chosen sexual conduct, and what does it have to do with her fitness for public office? The alleged fact-checker leaves out salient context to suggest that anyon...

  THEY’VE SELECTED KAMALA AND THIS IS THEIR PLAN “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”  ―  H.L. Mencken The Powers That Be/ Deep State  have gone to Plan B, since Plan A was a dementia ridden, pants shitting, child sniffing, corrupt, global embarrassment. Everybody knows Kamala Harris is an extremely unlikable, vacuous, commie, diversity shill, Obama puppet. She couldn’t get above 2% support in the 2020 Democrat primaries and had the lowest popularity rating of any VP in history, because she is an honest to goodness moron. She was selected because she can read a teleprompter better than the shuffling cadaver in the White House. Every time she is stumped by a question, she cackles like a hyena, so she cackles a lot. She hasn’t had an o...
