THE POLITICAL LEFT EXPLAINED IN A NUTSHELL

David Scott — Sun, 16 Aug 2026 19:49:51 GMT

____________________________________________________________________________

I was finessing a column, medium length, with a list of all the dirty DSA Marxists, Islamists, Communists, general Democrats, and so forth… when I decided to employ the KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Here you go:

This country will fall down with the inversion of everything: The vault of scum to the top, and the smashing of good people down to the bottom.

That’s all. Have a nice day.

This article reminded me of something I’d been meaning to do for some time:

https://revolver.news/2026/08/cop-involved-in-george-floyd-saga-reveals-deeply-chilling-secret/

I knew from the beginning, after examining the evidence available to me - and any average citizen - that Derek Chauvin was railroaded by a kangaroo court (sorry for the mixed metaphor). Floyd was a loser who piloted his small “row, row, row your boat” to his own death… and not in a particularly gentle fashion. His true life story is largely hidden.

Here is a bit of background on “St. Floyd” -

https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/other/george-floyds-criminal-record/

Be certain to review his 2009 felony arrest for Assault and Armed Robbery as a minimum.

A great pity in life (or maybe not) is that some people just aren't meant to make it. Look around.

The medical examiner in the case listed “cardiopulmonary arrest” as the cause of death. Further, from the article, “Dr. Andrew Baker told federal prosecutors that he ruled out anything that happened while Floyd was on the ground as a factor or cause in Floyd’s death.” Additionally, the official Hennepin County autopsy report said that significant conditions of arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease, fentanyl intoxication, and recent methamphetamine use were significant conditions that led to his death.

I saw a video of Floyd during an earlier arrest. If I can find it again I’ll post it. His comportment was absolutely one of the most pathetic things I'd ever seen. He was on his feet the entire time, the police kept politely asking him to cooperate, to put his hands behind him, that things would be alright... He whined like no one I'd ever heard before, to include children. His begging to get a pass was something I can’t even begin to compare to anything else I’d ever heard - whether in person or on video. He was, again, pathetic.

The idea that this overgrown, fat, diseased, drug addicted "man-child" became "St. Floyd" should make anyone sick - whether liberal, conservative, or anything else, and the idea that a cop used an approved restraining technique on an uncooperating subject, with a knee on the SIDE of Floyd’s neck, was sent to prison for doing a difficult job within routine standards should anger anyone.

I'm registered as Independent. I’m not a Christian, but I’m sure I’m as offended as any Christian that this criminal (multiple convictions and sentencings) is labeled a “Saint” if only because the label, status, and standing of “Criminal” is really the only applicable label for the shorthand-bio of what this guy really is and was. Also, I don’t think the definition of “Saint,” whether secular or within religion(s), includes “Drug Addict,” “Criminal,” “and “Fat Slob.” (The latter refers to the concept of ‘the body is a temple,’ and his tear-down of his own temple). Saint Floyd indeed!

I'm largely Libertarian, a jazz-freak, a Bohemian, and hardly a Nazi. The last time I talked with the ring of my spiritual advisers from beyond (via high-volume be bop) - John Coltrane, Ahmad Jamal, Art Pepper, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Gerry Mulligan, and others - they assured me that I’m (still) not a racccissssssst. Also, yesterday, I listened to three Rush albums in a row. But I’m ok now… it was touch-and-go (A Farewell to Kings [No kings!]); 2112; and Moving Pictures). They’re coming to Cleveland next month, after all).

Floyd is better off gone, mostly in service to his miserable self - "life" was something that simply abrased him. Hopefully he went to a better place - but, frankly, I don't really care. A “better place” for him was to simply go in the ground, to re-atomize trees and dirt.

Not only was he served best by his (self-determined) death - society was served as well. Rational question: If he were alive today, how long would his rap sheet be now? I’m certain he would have aggrandized it with further crime - and given what he did during the 2009 home invasion, it’s not a stretch to believe he could have murdered, or been an accomplice to murder, as he very nearly was on that earlier date.

Free Derek Chauvin. Now. Let me amend that:

President Trump: Pardon Derek Chauvin now. He was adjudicated as “Guilty,” but was not guilty in accordance with existential reality. But at least a pardon (for a dirty, political, guilty verdict to some “crime”) will get him out of prison and allow him to gain his freedom back for his remaining years.

In the matter of any government injustice, at any level, for any activity, remember this:

If they can do it to Chauvin, they can do it to you.

THE NEW "ROLE MODELS" - WE'RE HERE, WE'RE QUEER, AND WE'RE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN

David Scott — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 16:05:41 GMT

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How long can we believe America lasts as anything but a place in name only? Between LGBTQIA+ indoctrination, the MSM, and the Democrat-Socialists (Communists) of America, it’s clear one side is at war, and the other is not.

The first video below is 5 minutes long and is required viewing by anyone who thinks they know what is happening in this country. It’s likely worse than anything you’ve seen thus far.

I’m no prude, but all of this is sickening. “Disturbing” does not cover this. Especially cruel is the confused little girl, clearly pre-pubescent, whose mother identifies on camera as the school’s first openly bi-sexual school board member… then says, “…and then my daughter… do you want to say it?” Her daughter mumbles, “You can.” Her mother says, “I can? Ok, my daughter identifies as bi-sexual as well…”. The girl looks uncomfortable, confused and, likely, is well on her way to a mentally ill future. Maybe she can “de-indoctrinate” in the future. This is child abuse - the charge to which in this context sounds to the Left like a knee-jerk, spurious, hyperbolic reaction. It is not.

This is beyond tragic.

Just this past month, two young mothers near me (one of whom is home-schooling two children under 10 years of age) told me that the Newark, Ohio high school restroom used primarily by girls has a cat litter box. And there are “furries” using it.

The effete and feckless adults letting this happen have my despiction. (I despise them). No wonder teens and 20-odd year olds (no pun) are shooting up schools and groups. Psychiatric drugs, “legal” THC, puberty blockers, butchery of primary and secondary sex characteristics*, and hormones, as paired with indoctrinations which are guaranteed to make for a physically and mentally ill life, are creating a class of people who are beyond just sick - they are broken and will never “gear” to a productive role in any society.

[*Primary: The penis and testes, and the vagina and ovaries - as supported by XY and XX chromosomes for males and females respectively Secondary: Generally emerge during the prepubescent through postpubescent phases - although in terms of butchery, we’re primarily talking about breasts.]

Today, being cis-gendered and heterosexual is merely another identity amongst a blizzard of others… and you’re on the bottom of the totem pole for pride, related benefits, rewards for grievance, rewards for “injustices” (historical and present), special considerations in admittances to college and in hiring, and those above you get a huge “by” for lawbreaking and civic disruption. You are merely an Oppressor… particularly if you are a White cis-gendered heterosexual male/man - likely a racist, a closet - or open - Nazi, and an advocate of genocide for various identity/victim groups.

In looking at the employees in Walmarts, coffeeshops, and Home Depot-type stores, I can only imagine the corporate suites and factories these days. Maybe they’re better. But they’ll be infected to the same degree soon. Tattoos, studs, rings, implants, drugs and clothing that bespeaks a sort of freakdom that makes the second video, below, look tame.

People of plain sense and sanity need to stand up.

When the Veterans Affairs Department (VA) solicited my “identity” and personal pronouns about 2 years ago (after decades of clinic visits and being addressed as “Mister”), I answered, “Well, I guess I identify as ‘Not Horny; Willing to Negotiate’.” The nurses compressed their lips, entered it into the system, and filed a complaint (unbeknownst to me at the time). Eventually, I received a letter from the Disruptive Behavior Committee (yikes - the dreaded DBC): I had committed sexual harassment… for providing a stupid question with a stupid answer. Any reasonable person knows the above is not sexual harassment.

I requested a phonecon with the local clinic’s Manager and the main clinic’s Director. I got everyone’s ear and said sexual harassment has to be pressure for some road to sex (dates) or pressure to submit to someone… for SEX. Off-color jokes would have to be extremely ubiquitous, targeted, often, and extreme. A tepid, self-directed, joke does not fit the bill. They listened. They said the committee’s vote was 15 to 0 to issue the letter (and charge). I said “Unanimity means nothing in terms of merit. The Wannsee Conference was a unanimous vote.” (Thus setting the scheme for the disposition of Jews, Gypsies, Roma, Slavs, and general Untermenschen in Nazi occupied Europe). I provided other examples in dope-smacking these Dopes.

I then said, “I fear we are incentivizing victimhood.” They backed down - they had to. I likely could have sued these - pardon me - dumbfucks for liable. They put it in writing. I got respect, as I generally can make a room feel like whipped puppies when I fully engage my intellect, powers of articulation, and confidence. But not everyone can do that. I know that. (Present readership excepted).

But dammit - you, too, had better start standing up to this shit - and maybe you are. Because it’s starting to piss me off.

Adults can, and should be able, to do what they want. Here’s some good perspective:

The Rocky Horror Picture Show came out in 1975. I was 20 years old, knew I was a man (just barely - I’ve matured a bit), and secure in my “identity” such that this was a hell of a lot of fun when seeing it in the theater with friends. For those people a little too uptight for this humor, at least stay for Brad’s request for a phone - the dichotomy between the “straight” Brad (and Janet) and Rocky is nicely done. (Note: Brad and Janet have a flat tire, and stop at a house to use the phone - hopefully).

Notice that what passed for extreme and outrageous “back in the day” displayed nary a stud nor face ring. No sleeve tatts. No face tatts. One modest tattoo, some campy clothing, and a lot of makeup :

Adult fun and games are not for kids.

P.S. Between writing and editing this I got stung by a wasp. But I like wasps. They’re in one of my deck boxes. I’m leavin’ ‘em alone in hopes a Dem/DSA member opens it and gets swarmed.

LIBERAL LADY'S BUMPER STICKERS - These people vote?... and ruminations on the state of our society

David Scott — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 18:11:15 GMT

____________________________________________________________________________

I saw this car in a Walmart parking lot a couple days ago:

Here’s a closeup of the bumper stickers - a little easier to peruse:

The irony of “RESIST HATE” in consideration of the other stickers is quite supreme. Of course, appreciation of irony is a bellwether of intelligence: We cannot expect much intelligence from this person so I doubt she knows what irony is.

I removed the license information. The car dealership info is still there, but technically that dealership no longer exists - it was sold and has a different name. That, plus it probably sold a number of Ford Tauruses in exact year and color. Plus plus - I don’t care. But these stickers led to the following thoughts:

Decades of America-hating/History-rewriting/Leftist education has minted a class of people (of all ages) who are quite literally ignorant regarding America’s founding and building as a Constitutional Republic - vis-à-vis Socialist, Communist, Totalitarian, Fascist, Dictatorial regimes. That ignorance exists, plus they are mentally ill. People who harbor on the Left point outside themselves for their failures. You don’t have to be a psychologist to see it. Critical thinking faculties haven’t been destroyed - they never developed in the first place to destroy amongst these people. People are indoctrinated - and if indoctrination begins early enough in the K-12 cycle, it is almost impossible to remove.

Have you heard the term “muscle memory”? It’s a vernacular, very handy, term. If you know how to type, as I do, you do not have to think, “Ok, now I’m going to move my right index finger from its resting place on the “J” to the letter “M,” and also to press the letter “M.” It just seemingly happens as you bang out sentences, paragraphs, papers, articles, theses (the plural of thesis - I looked it up), letters, e-mails, etc. Now -

Consider thinking: If you are steeped in propaganda from your earliest moments of sentience, through Kindergarten, and on through the early grades and college/university, your brain physically develops to think that way. Your neural networks are forming, your cerebral cortex is growing and developing, your synapses are firing… and they “learn” to go a certain way. Any objective examination of your own indoctrination - whether political, religious, cultural - only happens amongst people possessed of two main qualities: They are very high IQ, and they are very courageous. It is not easy to “rewire” oneself in the face of all the propagandized/indoctrinated people around you: Your society, your church, your family, your schools, and so on,

The only people who can come out of indoctrination(s) are people of extreme intelligence as reinforced by courage. Indoctrinated people have to face themselves and make a bold decision to self-educate, re-educate, and in most cases, throw off the influence of family members, friends, and whole communities - ties such as clubs, churches, social settings - to begin a journey toward truth. They don’t have to ostracize themselves completely - but they have to jettison falsehoods and then see if any level of relationships in those areas survive.

When one considers a valid analogy elsewhere in the physical human body (the brain is an organ, and is physical), just consider the practice (outlawed now) of foot binding. It was practiced on women in China into the early 1900s, and perhaps elsewhere. Just as the bound foot is constricted and grows in a horribly hobbled manner, the brain - and corresponding mind - can be constricted when young, growing, and developing:

You can research foot binding on your own - there are many gruesome photographs of the results of the practice. Now consider Leftism’s influence on young brains consisting of indeterminate, as yet, physical synapses, electrical impulses and their preferred circuits, neural networks and how they behave - as bound - and further consider that the physical brain does not stop developing until around age 26. Think of young children and the influence it has when they are as young as 4 being handed sex dolls with interchangeable genitalia - as is being done in Minnesota schools, now. We - meaning they - are literally building mentally ill people on spec and schedule - for vote harvesting toward Communism’s install. I believe it. Do you?

It’s the same with labeling everyone a “racist,” “Nazi,” et. al - who do not follow the Leftist’s trope. It is burned into young, pliable, minds. It is like setting concrete - when wet, it is malleable. Then it hardens. So the Left gets them early.

But, yet, minds are supposed to be more flexible. There is our humanity, after all - the “human spirit,” for some there is… God (another indoctrination; but more on that later)… there is our minds - we are not animals (we are) operating purely on instinct, are we? WE, US - are supposed to be superior to mere feet, bound or otherwise. Again, only the highest IQs as paired with courage can throw off corrupt early education, ongoing leftist education - as reinforced by a dominant, corrupt, MEDIA. Only the aforementioned minds that dare to quest, seek, and think, can unburden themselves - and they are damned few.

Critical thinking simply does not exist. The leftist media reinforces all the prejudices (the prejudicial jumping to conclusions absent evidence). When one becomes an amateur etymologist, one can understand things not just by definition - but by roots, relationships and reinforcements. Consider PREJUDICE: Prejudicial; prejudge; judgmental - they all come from the same root. Pre is preliminary. People make preliminary judgements that are immediately permanent - absent the better information, absent the evidence.

Think back to when you were 5, 6, 7 years of age. My earliest memories, surviving to this day, are from around age 5. Maybe some murky ones from age 4. I can remember my vulnerability, my fears (grounded and otherwise), and how the big people around - adults - seemed to be all-knowing, all-powerful, and were to be obeyed. Now imagine that version of yourself as raised with Drag Queen Story Hour; as being told you might really be a girl if you’ve been called a boy and vice versa - and here’s a doll for you to play with along with genitalia to play with - that it’s ok if you’re a boy and want a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend, and vice versa, and if you want a same-sex marriage when you “grow up” - that’s ok - and by the way, we don’t have to tell your Mommy and Daddy about any of this. We can explore. (And then, in a good many instances, you could be molested… and it’s all good, and normal… shhhhhhhhhhh. You’re so brave!). All of this transpiring with pre-pubescent children.

No amount of evidence can change a defective mind that believes what it wants to believe… based on agendas, politics, and vested self-interest(s). Stir in those early indoctrinations as the concrete sets around them - as those feet “grow” in their constricted fashion in accordance with the bind - and you’ve got the perfect storm for minting mentally ill Leftists… shrieking, howling, yelling, and in many cases… shooting… while on psychiatric medications that influence the mind in ever-more bizarre ways.

We know how America is being destroyed from within - we understand the width, the depth, the scale… we understand the wheel that is being turned.

Only 11% of New Yorkers voted for Mayor: They got Mamdani. Many examples abound. The American people better get off their fat assess and get to the polls. And they’d better vote for the lesser of two evils in every case.

IRAN: I HAVE THE SOLUTION (NO, REALLY!)

David Scott — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 13:08:19 GMT

____________________________________________________________________________

Above: The Democrat Party. The problem is, our education system has been cranking out indoctrinated socialists/communist dummkopfs by the millions, as reinforced by past unbridled legal and illegal immigration. And the MSM gives them voice, of course. So “Democratic-Socialists” (Communists) will likely continue to win primaries, and some elections. To what effect… we’ll find out.

___________________________________________________________________________

Now, on to Iran. I have the solution:

I'm sure they're discussing this anyway, just want them (the Admin) to know that this voter has their back - I approve - so just do it.

Seize Kharg Island while going "Hiroshima" on Tehran. There you have it: You cannot “negotiate” and “make a deal” with messianic mentally ill people who believe their supernatural “Allah” has commanded them to destroy the “Great Satan” (America). How hard is it to understand that? The adults amongst us understand this and if Iran ever gets nukes - well, they’re content to journey to Allah on winged horses (or something or other) and be dispensed their allocation of virgins - while you are turned to atoms and fertilizer. (I know some of you believe in heaven. Christian joke: Everyone wants to go to heaven; but no one wants to go today. Ha ha. Another one: Good news! There’s baseball in heaven! I had a peek at the schedule and you’re pitching next Wednesday). It’s too easy.

Back to Iran. So simple. Ka-boom! (Shoulda done it on the 4th - coulda added some red, white, and blue fireworks to the sky. Imagine an Independence Day spectacle on an atomic scale!). Of course, boots-on-ground on the island, but taking and holding that isn't exactly D-Day. Shouldn’t be tough going against a society where the men haven’t taken robes off for millennia and apparently can’t get the hang of pants and zippers. Further indication of stupidity: They put women in bags! Talk about men that are about as baseline stupid as it gets. I always preferred bikinis (and mono-kinis) to burkas. Hell yeah! (I hope I’m not going all “Platner” here; I think I’m safe. The ladies I’ve known - especially if they’re bikini-worthy specimens - have a healthy sense of humor. I just like female butts and boobs, especially when they’re all wiggly and jiggly and unfettered by the constraints of burkas and Islam. I suffer from being a cis-gendered, heterosexual, male).

‘Course, the Dems will label Trump a “war criminal.” But hey, he’s labeled that already, and besides, that Dem Truman nuked a couple Jap cities (and was getting ready to do it to a third if they didn’t surrender - true; did you know that?) and killed hundreds of thousands of Japs who were civilians. (I’m using the WWII vernacular of the day - “Japs” - as opposed to “Japanese.” Gotta remain authentic). See, when a Dem does something… anything… the MSM cranks their dirty gears to explain and hide and mitigate.

Truman: ‘So, if I give approval, we wipe out a whole city with one bomb!?’ General: ‘Yessir. And if those dirty Japs don’t get the message, we can keep doin’ it. We’ll avoid a million American casualties were we to invade.’ Truman: ‘Can’t we demonstrate the bomb on a remote Island?’ General: ‘Well, Mr. President, we could. But that wouldn’t kill any Japs.’ Truman: ‘Can we just bomb a small city?’ General: ‘Well, Mr. President, we could - but that wouldn’t kill as many Japs.’ Truman: ‘Oh, hell - do it.’

So we decap Iran, take the island, then we take all the oil, the revenue, and give a few $$ to Iran whilst installing a post-WWII-type government in the style of what we did with West Germany. Vet a few non-rad Iranians (as if! But comparatively speaking - ha ha) to staff the bulk of the government, with U.S. overseers, but not the type of vetting that was done with Platner (shudder!).

Meantime, gas plummets to a buck and change here in the U.S.

Honestly, sometimes I think I should run for office. I have solutions. I don’t have any Nazi tattoos (I don’t have any at all, come to think of it, even though I’m a vet!). I never raped anybody (that I can remember), and never even chased comely females around desks or coffeeshops (that I can remember; ok, I did, but I only tickled them when I caught them. Metaphorically speaking. Um. Disregard). Of course, the Left would dig up SomeWomanBelieveAllWomen-type who claimed to know me 40 years ago, and that I’d done some dastardly “toxic man thing.” After all: I’m White, therefore privileged on that alone, further privileged by being a cis-gendered, heterosexual, MAN (TRIGGER WARNING! RED ALERT!! WWII AIR-RAID SIRENS WAILING!!!!!!!!!!). [← click] Unrepentant RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Left and MSM would portray me as a rabid, salivating, Pavlov dog back in my hitherto unexplored/unexposed youth (no puns) - with either a tentpole in the front of my pants - or even an exposed erection poking through my fly - as I traversed various public venues looking for mountable females (of the human variety, hopefully). Senate hearings, testimony, guilty until (never) proven innocent, the whole smear.

Run for office? No thanks!

But Iran says they want to kill America - and they mean it - so they’ve already been at war with us for nearly half-a-century. Bomb Tehran - it’s unfair that Truman carries the whole load as “the only President to have used a nuke.” And take Kharg Island. We have troops trained for that - they’re rarin’ to go. They joined up because, for these guys, video games just don’t cut it. They’re chompin’ at the bit for the real thing. They risk life and limb because this is what they chose to do. We don’t squander them, yet - they are ready - they volunteer for this. This is what they are for - they know it, want it, and are supreme.

All the "Duh" stuff is never done, and political agendas and dirt abound.

Oh well.

THE LEFT'S ILLUSIONS AND ITS FOLLOWERS' DELUSIONS: SELLING WHAT CANNOT BE SOLD

David Scott — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 18:34:06 GMT

The political Left is selling something that cannot be sold.

I don’t know the product’s precise name, or concept, or delivery. It’s something like Utopia. Nirvana (free needles and drugs, anyone?) It’s something like… Equality/Equity/Diversity/Inclusion/Love/Peace/and the ultimate arrival at the Warmth of Collectivism versus Rugged Individualism. The latter is Mamdani’s expressions and associated goal[s] - thus, the elimination of rugged individuals like me (and a continuance of the Left’s war on men, masculinity, and testosterone).

I guess we can call it all what the Left and the Democratic National Committee now call it, or sees it as, or sells it as: Democratic-Socialism.

In the case of all that, the attendant benefits - the “products” - are the eradication of Nazi-ism, Nazis, MAGA, MAGAists, racism, racists, fascism, fascists, patriotism, patriots, old-school democrats, old-school liberals, conservatives, Republicans, Independents, and more… in other words, anyone who is not a Democratic-Socialist. (Or, more accurately, a Communist).

And, by extension, anyone who does not acknowledge their residency on “stolen land” will be painted as the aforementioned Nazi, etc. Oh, the irony. The native tribes of North America warred amongst themselves, “stole” land (to the victor go the spoils, hence the quotes), “raped” the losers (technically, there was no “rape,” it was not against their law to mount anyone they liked), and then busied themselves putting feathers on their heads while they lived in teepees and used holes and trenches for plumbing. (So inspiring! So… so… spiritual! Remember that when you’re on your next “native” retreat as you wipe your butt with a handful of leaves and twigs - just as the natives did from whom you stole the land!). Being that the Left does not believe in borders, there should be nothing wrong with past natives’ “appropriation” of land and women.

Then, ya see, a much, much bigger tribe - aka “The White Man,” crossed the ocean because he’d engineered sailing ships and charted stars while others were scratching and pooping in the dirt, and he warred and took the spoils of war. Crossing the ocean shouldn’t be problematic for the Left because… there are no borders.

But back to selling what cannot be sold.

This seeming paradox - “the selling of that which cannot be sold” - makes sense (i.e., is not a paradox) by this: The Left is selling an idea - for a something that cannot be sold because the latter not a product. Leftists love ideas but they will never attain the idea’s promise, nor hold (possess), what they believe the product to be: A perfect life, a perfect society (fair, just, benevolent, etc.), buoyed by the perfect political philosophy and associated actualizations…

…rather, we remain with Life as it is and always will be:

Life is not fair. Life is a grind. People are not fair (by nature, disposition, or acts). We contend with malevolence and betrayal: Luminaries are few and far between. We attempt redress where and when we can - as imperfect as even that is. The physical world is not fair: Car crashes, falls, disfigurations (as by birth, personal attack, war, etc.), disease, illness, fire, flood, and so on: What I call malevolence and betrayal on one side of the coin, and brute random chance and circumstance on the other). Life is a bitch and then you die. Meantime, try to be decent as you go about your slow march to certain death, by one means or another, and improve a few things around you - including yourself and to include the wretched pile of humanity. I’m talking to grownups, here. Anyone else can go suck their thumb.

Socialism, and its kissing (incestuous) cousin, Communism (to me they’re the same), has never worked. Not in Cuba. Not in Argentina. Not in Venezuela, the Soviet Union, Russia, China (buoyed as it is by slave/child labor), Vietnam, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Laos, Angola, (the former) East Germany, Mozambique, Costa Rica, Cambodia, Czech Republic, Burundi, Zimbabwe, and more. That is, it has never delivered anything other than empty store shelves, hardship, hunger, poverty, despair, speech codes, political persecution, gallows, gulags, and a state apparatus that whisks people away and kills or imprisons them on pretenses and actuals of simple criticisms of that state. Maybe I should have placed Great Britain on that list - they are now imprisoning people for Tweets. Tweets!

As an aside, the British police let a victim, a young white man, knifed, bleed to death while his “person of color” (under color of privilege as a POC [POS?]) was assumed to be the “victim”… of… brace yourself… RACISM!!! The police actually rolled the white victim over to handcuff him as he bled out and likely exacerbated his bleeding. It certainly didn’t help and a call for help was fatally delayed. Britain is lost: thank a dirty leftist. Can Britain be found? You tell me.

Here is one of my explanations of socialism, but only one, democratic or otherwise:

You have a farm (as my father did - albeit, a “hobby” farm: robust none-the-less). Yours produces food - a massive crop harvest of corn, tomatoes, beans, pees, fruit - and a huge amount of meat. Beef, pork, poultry, and more, You have tractors, combines, storage for feed, refrigeration, conveyor belts and contracts for sale and transport. You have farmhands.

A notice comes in the mail. Democratic Socialism has delivered “Collective Farming” to your area. You will now share tractors (and all other equipment) with your area’s particular cut-out of farms, their related subscription to, and occupancy of, Farm Collective and Region #143.

You share equipment by placing your needs on the collective calendar of sign-out for that equipment. You have to compete with other farms by contacting authorities in an envelope of time, hoping you can get tractors, combines, etc. during the critical windows for planting, harvest, slaughter, transport, etc.

If the stars align, you show on the appointed date for procuring the tractor reserved for you. Oh, oh! No tractor is available! Why not? It broke down. No other tractors can be made available because there is already a domino effect from the shuffling of all kinds of defective equipment and competition for collective tools. Why isn’t the tractor repaired? Well, the person who was supposed to be a tractor mechanic was a DEI schlub who broke more things than he fixed. He was let go, but only after much, much consternation (and breakages) - he was a person of color, after all. How did it break down in the first place? No one changed, topped the oil. You see, when you own nothing (and are happy - as in the socialist dictum: You will own nothing and be happy) and nothing is owned by anyone (other than the state - and you know how that goes), no one takes care of anything. Not like you would your own tractor.

But the Left continues its sale of democratic socialism… which is really its supposed products - that which it will produce: That Utopia, etc.

But Utopia - or even a “better world” (whatever that is) cannot be sold, produced, or delivered by democratic socialism. DS will have a delivery, however.

That delivery will be as always: Hunger, famine, disease, illness, poverty, war, and an overall desperate human condition.

Democrats, the political Left, democratic socialism will deliver misery.

DARE TO SHARE - Thanks

My inbox gets notifications of the sort, “So-and-so liked [followed by title with hyperlink].” These are starting to arrive daily. Usually, of course, it’s the latest article/post.

However, some of the articles go back a year or more. Thanks today to “Ollie” for liking WOKEISM AND THE DEATH OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. I’ll try to credit more folks as time rolls on. (First name only - if readers prefer, I can use initials).

I appreciate the readership. I frequently click the link and read my old stuff. Sometimes I think, “I wrote that? That’s damned good!” I’m not trying to brag (other than a little), but that’s a golden oldie, above, that I hope rings true. You’ll understand the following sentiment after (re)reading it: I hope we nail vote-cheating in this country. We must. WE ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY MUST.

Anyway, I’m going to celebrate my boycott of McDonald’s by going to Wendy’s or Applebee’s or somethin’. I’ve decided to blast Motörhead’s album Sacrifice on the way. (I’ll have to stream it in the car, naturally - vinyl will wait for later). What better way to celebrate freedom than by sticking some loud f’ing rock music in the eye of Islamists who don’t know how to boogie or make proper love to a real woman? No wonder they cultivate relations with under-age girls, eh? Meantime, bear in mind that a fair number of Dems prefer their women with penises.

Some things just explain themselves.

Thanks for reading - would you share this stuff, please? Thanks!

WITH LUCK TRUMP WILL SURVIVE OFFICE. IF EVER THERE IS ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, WHAT THEN?...

David Scott — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 18:24:18 GMT

____________________________________________________________________________

For many on the Left, it is an imperative that Trump be removed from office. If not impeachment (and conviction, removal), then… ASSASSINATION. Political violence is merely political ends in the world of Leftists/Totalitarians.

But a question no one asks - and maybe no one dare ask (except for me) - is a very, very provocative one. I tend to think that, rather a matter of dare, it is one of intellectual prowess.

Before the question, first consider these: What/who follows Trump? If it’s a Democrat, we know: Feckless so-called opposition (collectively; a few individuals will stand out). An open border. Massive vote-cheating (and likely never another Republican or Independent President again). Tax increases. Escalating fraud-tax-fraud-tax-fraud… Crime of all sorts. Demolition of the Electoral College system. Down ballot cheating and ever-more Dem Senators, House members, Mayors, town council members, judges, and so forth. More DEI and associated accidents and danger. More BLM-style “social justice orgs” and endeavors. More “Learing” Centers, more SPLCs, and so on. More trans and trans-influence. We end up with The United Third Worlds of America. A catastrophe.

America goes from being described as a “Judeo-Christian” nation (an oxymoron if I ever heard one; and very dangerous practice as I’ll articulate someday) to a nation next described as “Islamo-Judeo-Christian,” to one described as, not “Islamo-Christian” (because the Muslims hate the Jews, you see), but directly to one simply described as an “Islamic nation” (because the Muslims hate EVERYONE (not Muslim), you see, and they’re outbreeding everyone else as well as flowing across that reinstituted flat border).

But let’s say we have a President Rubio or Vance. In that case, here is the question… THE question:

Q: How will that President be treated in comparison to our current one?

A: Worse.

Here is what I mean and it is no small thing. You must scroll back to the early 2000s, and even prior. Donald Trump was a beloved figure amongst virtually everyone. Politics aside (that didn’t even enter in), people on the Left and Right just liked him. People liked him. He was a celebrity. He was rich (when being rich was ok, and admired, and aspired to). He was buddies with Oprah. He was “New York,” and cool. He rocked television, had cameos in film, was interviewed, his opinion was sought, and he was… just cool.

Here he was on his self-described buddy’s show in 1988:

It was a different country in 1988. Someone like Trump could appear on an MSM show such as Oprah and talk. And a random audience would listen.

It’s hard to remember when Trump had the wind in his sail. He was just about universally liked. In New York he was likely beloved.

Today, the political left (and Democrat Party) is worse than ill. They are Machiavellian. They are evil (I’m employing the perfectly serviceable secular definition: I am not Christian). They are totalitarian and fascist. By the rhetoric of their so-called luminaries, they are indistinguishable from a Domestic Terror Organization - and by their minions, they operate as one. They attempt to project what they are and do onto other people - as cover. Their dirty agenda is supported by indoctrination of the young.

Therefore, you must consider: The next Republican President, if ever, will not have Trump’s sail with favorable winds. They will not have a running head-start on good will. The next Republican President will become that day’s current “Hitler.” There will be assassination attempts. There will be impeachments. There will be lawfare. There will be the fomenting of violence by the Left, officeholders and citizens alike.

And there will be illness and hysteria and evil that will make today look… not peaceful… but marginally sane. A simple revisit to Maxine Water’s words; Schumer’s words, Biden’s words, HRC’s words, Mamdani’s words, Johnson’s words (Brandon), Bass’ words, Harris’ words, Newsome’s words, and on and on and on… with associated threats…

…tells you what’s coming should this rancid party ever take total control.

IRAN (Again. Again. Again.)

David Scott — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:48:59 GMT

Subscribe now

In keeping with my last column (A DEAL WITH IRAN? DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH), I have to weigh in today with another pithy, self-penned, dictum as regards Iran (similar to the last one: EXPECTING TO MAKE A DEAL WITH IRAN IS AKIN TO POURING WATER INTO A COLANDER AND HOPING IT PERFORMS AS A BUCKET).

Today, I wish the Trump Admin would realize this:

ATTEMPTING TO NEGOTIATE PEACE WITH IRAN IS LIKE TRYING TO CALM A HORNET’S NEST IN YOUR BACKYARD THAT YOU’VE BEEN BEATING WITH A STICK.

Again, I say: It’s only gonna be boots-on-the-ground that solves this permanently - and a permanent solution is the only true solution. Otherwise these are just masturbatory exercises - with expenditures of munitions and a measure of lives… again and again (repeat). Boots-on-the-ground will be lives, too, and munitions, too, in the short term, but will break this stupid cycle. (Hormuz open. Hormuz closed. Upcoming end-of-civilization. Ceasefire. Upcoming bombing of bridges and powerplants - ceasefire. Negotiations. Walkouts. More negotiations. Failure).

A WWII-style occupation of Iran is necessary. NATO should participate - but won’t… until possibly the backside. They won’t be in on “D-Day,” and they won’t be in on a mimic of their fight across Europe. They’ll show up for the “May ‘45” post-facto administration of peace and the subsequent occupation and emplacement of representative government. We’re used to that.

The invasion and occupation of Iran makes for sweeping out the theocratic totalitarians who… um… want to kill us… and a good measure of their own people, too. An extant, governing, body that wants America (our Constitutional Republic; our separation of church and state; our exercise of freedom) DEAD. DEAD. DEAD. It is not hyperbole. You cannot negotiate with that. It is their essence, their arrogance, and their ignorance. We must kill those theocratic, totalitarian people whose mission is to kill you. The irony is we’ll have to be over there even as they are infiltrating us here.

Speaking of here: I ask Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and others involved in Epic Fury to stop referencing “God” and “Jesus Christ” in the course of your official duties and from the station of your place in my/their own/your government. It is unseemly (and not just because I find all religions repulsive).

We are supposed to have separation of church and state in this country. Honor and adhere to that - period. Our Founders were a mix of theists, deists, agnostics, atheists and simple pragmatists- and were quite clever in establishing an ambiguous, amorphous, unknown (i.e., undefined) “Creator” as the source of our rights. (I’ll write more on this later - it was actually Man who hammered “rights” out over long trials and errors). But, we can wish our military members well, and good luck, and instill confidence in their mission, without yammering about God and Jesus - the mission being to hold ground and gain ground, and otherwise, as often articulated, to break things and to kill people… advancing until we vanquish the enemy and build an Iran that is for, by, and of the people. (Watch that “friendly” fire, please!).

Failing to drop the religious references from podiums that we pay for, we will soon go from being described as a “Judeo-Christian nation” (an oxymoron if I ever heard one, and something that makes my skin crawl for a host of reasons) to an “Islamo-Judeo-Christian” nation. You can project where that will go with your own imagination… so stop screwing this up, please. You know it will happen - you do - once a tipping point is reached in terms of the demographics - absent my recommendation here. Get wise and exercise your duties like you’re a Constitutionalist.

Thanks for listening.

SNACKSPLANATION: A DEAL WITH IRAN? DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH

David Scott — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:44:19 GMT

Well, well, well; the “Iran Deal” or whatever they’re calling these “talks”… and more and more “talks”… has folded completely. There’s a shaky “Cease fire!” in place… I think… although, in the seconds between this Snacksplanation’s creation and my tap of the Post button, anything can happen. We might block the Strait of Hormuz; we might unblock it; we might end civilization in that part of the world; we might bomb a power plant and/or a bridge or two, to show those theocratic, radical, totalitarian, Muslim, Islamicist, Mullahs what’s what.

But there is a tremendous problem here. It’s so huge, I cannot believe that no one - politician, pundit, or patty-cake playing “negotiator” - talks about it. Or, at least, hints at it.

Iran is run by Allah-believing, Allah-worshiping, religious totalitarian goons. They want you dead (if you’re not a devout Muslim. Frankly, I think they want “moderate Muslims” dead, too… if there are such things). They machinate your death for even a tepid “speak-out” against the regime. They’ll even slaughter your family: It’s called, “Setting an example.” There are Muslims in America who escaped that rancid society who have death sentences on their heads now.

See, here’s the main, HUGE, EXPONENTIAL, EXISTENTIAL problem: The Iranians’ religion/allied political system/government is granted permission in Islam to lie in times of war (and specified other things, too). (This is also a condition in American politics/government - even within religions practiced here - but we’re marginally better than the Iranians. The West does do deals - and often adheres to them quite well). But, in fact, in times of war, it’s a requirement. You lie to your enemy/enemies. Every country does this. What do you think all those wooden airplane replicas and inflatable tanks were up by the Pas-de-Calais on the cusp of D-Day, far north of Normandy? (For younger readers and ignorant older ones, D-Day and Operation Fortitude were operations during World War II). What do you think the uniform practice of disinformation is during wartime… any time… anywhere? Lies.

But as to today’s Iran:

EXPECTING TO MAKE A DEAL WITH IRAN IS AKIN TO POURING WATER INTO A COLANDER AND HOPING IT PERFORMS AS A BUCKET.

Rinse and repeat. To quote Iran: “Death to America.”

Here’s an actual idea and related schema:

Threaten NATO. We’re going to withdraw, and sanction remaining members, unless they participate in obliterating Iran’s government, high, low, and in-between. Yes, boots on the ground from all NATO members:
When you get on board and we kill the people who want to kill you, we’re going to assemble a team, akin to the West’s administration of (and help to) West Germany, upon WWII’s end:
Did I forget to mention? The Mullahs, Iranian parliament members, judges and all other provincial authorities/government officials are reviewed, and where necessary, are rounded up as was done for the Nuremberg trials. Upon fair trials and convictions (and presumably some measure of “not guilty” verdicts and/or mitigations) we hang the dirty perpetrators for murder, genocide, and nuclear enrichment actions. Past public pronouncements of “Death to America” will warrant life imprisonment in the absence of other crimes.

But a deal? Don’t make me laugh.

I would wish you luck but I don’t believe in wishes. I believe in action: Get something real done.

WHAT DO GERMAN PHILOSOPHER ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER, FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL JAY ROGERS, AND (HUMBLY) MYSELF HAVE IN COMMON?

David Scott — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 20:39:07 GMT

____________________________________________________________________________

Readers here will (hopefully) be aware of my recent column, THE DEATH OF CRITICAL THINKING and THE EMOTIONAL REJECTION OF SUCH THINKING. If not, you may wish to give it a quick read (or re-read). It is comparatively short to that which I’m recommending, below:

Columnist and financial professional Jay Rogers has written an excellent column as published at American Thinker; its relevancy is contained in its title:

The Long Game to End America

Anyone familiar with Communism’s general stated strategy for conquering the West (“The long march through the institutions”) will appreciate his column on that basis and more - he also touches on what both Schopenhauer and I do - although I dare say Schopenhauer really brings the goods in describing today’s Democrats - both the professional political class in Washington and their constituencies/voters.

I read The Long Game to End America in two distinct sit-downs. I urge you to read it whenever and wherever you can fit it into your schedule. I have not yet availed myself of his recommendation to watch Yuri Bezmenov’s (former KGB) 1984 interview with G. Edward Griffin. I did search YouTube for it and there are several interview segments yielded. You can do your own search - but I provide one link here for a 14 minute clip - and I will watch it. But first, I would recommend interested readers to follow this path, below*, and I also urge you to forward this (today’s) column to those people who may be in the zone of “rescue” - that is, not so far gone as to have any anemic remaining intellect completely swallowed by “wokeism,” (modern) “liberalism,” and living as “Karens” and effete “men” whose masculinity disappeared in the rear-view, over the horizon, in the decades past. IOW, those people truly waking up to the dangers of their past voting:

*I would recommend this order of events:

Read, or revisit, my column.
Read Jay Rogers column, as linked above.
Watch Griffin’s interview(s) of Bezmenov, as contained on YouTube.
And as a fourth recommendation, in order, watch a brief explanation of Schopenhauer’s philosophy for how to deal with stupid, ignorant people (under the Griffin/Bezmenov clip). He died in 1860 and you will be amazed at how he pegs the modern political Left - and you’ll even recognize how he exposes people of whom he was never aware by his understanding of the types - such as Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom, et. al.

Arthur Schopenhauer: How Intelligent People Deal with Stupid People

Please watch and forward this (my) column with these embedded references. Take however many days you need. America is at, and perhaps past, a tipping point. I have been reading teachers’ concerns and other people’s who are engaged with students, such as sports coaches, and what they’ve seen over the course of three or more decades is truly scary. The rot is deep, and as these youth claw their way into positions of power (City Councils, Mayorships, Congress, the Presidency, etc.), as paired with 67-point-IQ immigrants who hate America, this whole “Great American Experiment” shootin’ match could go down.

THE DEATH OF CRITICAL THINKING and THE EMOTIONAL REJECTION OF SUCH THINKING

David Scott — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 19:46:10 GMT

This post is public so feel free to share it.

This country needs plain sense and sanity - both woefully being scrubbed as the generations roll on. Between public (and many private) schools, universities and the MSM, we are several generations into a critical mass of dummkopfs - the like of which are not only incapable of critical thinking, but who are emotionally hardwired to reject such thinking. (See the videos below). They are also indoctrinated to reject simple facts and attempts at good-faith interactions associated with such.

These dummkopfs are quite literally mentally ill. They are ill in the head - and one does not have to have a degree in psychology or to be a psychiatrist to understand clear mental illness, any more than one has to be a criminologist to recognize a crime. These people are unwell in the head.

We may well be doomed to Communism - and I wish I were kidding. It’s not just stupidity and ignorance (lack of intelligence; lack of true data and facts - knowledge -, respectively) that is dooming us, it is both those people’s increasing numbers, and it is this phenomena: Even when presented with plain sense, with undeniable facts, with empirical data, with proven past deleterious outcomes from their broken thinking, they reject sound reason by virtue of the brain-fog of their emotional state as paired with the indoctrination. That state is hubris, anger, “superiority” (in their estimation), and rotten so-called moral outrages and platforms. In a word, these people are dangerous - the true useful idiots of the revolution.

It’s not just that they are on a hair trigger for anger and outrage (outwardly directed rage), it is their ongoing pilot light - merely awaiting the gasoline of the next protest’s agenda, time of assembly, and eruption.

These people have been indoctrinated - steeped - from infancy into Leftist lunacy. See the last video where 5-year-olds are forced to go to an anti-ICE protest by their “educators.” Therefore, you and I live on “stolen land.” Stolen from who? Well, various Indian tribes who stole land from each other. (I am going to eschew “Native American” - one, it is more syllables, but, two, I am Native American. I was born on this continent). But, too, according to various Leftists, we’d have to acknowledge that they stole it from the buffalo, the birds, and the bees. (Further, they ate the buffalo - ewww - dirty meat eaters!!).

Besides, just because a bigger, stronger, more advanced tribe came from overseas to “steal” “their” land, well, you see, that argument fails this test: The Left does not believe in borders. So… Mother Earth supported the White Man’s entry to this continent and, again, just another tribe - warring amongst and with all the other tribes. To the victor go the spoils. (I don’t think Indians had property deeds and written records, anyway - short of a few peaceful tribes, they stole and raped amongst themselves).

Besides, Indians no longer have to defecate in trenches and holes in the ground. Look it up. They have flush toilets and bidets. They have casinos. They have tax breaks. What is the complaint, exactly? Do you want to go back to teepees and shitting and pissing in holes? Huh? What is it exactly? WHAT? WTF is the complaint?

There are 8.3 billion people in the world. If only 10% wanted to come to America, we’re talking about 800 million people - just shy of a billion people. What’s that you say, stupid, ignorant, loser Leftist? Only 5% aspire to come? That’s 400 million. Of course, whatever the number, most don’t speak any English at all, and the others don’t speak passable English. No problem; so long as we indoctrinate them to hate the USA.

Of course, the efforts of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) law enforcement agency are merely removing criminals - but the idiot Left (and the sociopathic politicians manipulating people in supporting those politicians’ hold on power) believe they have a “right” to remain here. They’re benevolent nurses, and moms, and “Maryland dads.”

Oops: At best they’re rioters and lawbreakers; blocking legitimate ICE efforts, blocking traffic, kicking out taillights, spitting on agents, shoving them, throwing frozen water bottles and rocks, blowing ear-shattering whistles, storming hotels and churches… assembling, rioting, “protesting,” and making life into more grief than it already is.

ICE is not only removing rapists (to include child rapists), murderers, thieves, fraudsters, etc., but they are removing felons who transgressed our borders - which remains a crime. That alone makes them criminals - felons - and they are to be deported. All of them. All of them. (Illegal entry into the United States is a federal offense under 18 U.S.C. 1325, which applies to noncitizens who enter or attempt to enter the country without authorization).

The Left and the DemocratSocialistCommunistUsefulIdiotParty (yeah, I did that on purpose) are out to destroy merit, accomplishment, your reap of rewards from your own gumption and efforts. Destroy Capitalism, and you destroy personal ambition. If you can’t keep your own rewards and grow them, invention slows. Maintenance slows. Pride in your accomplishments goes. Pride in ownership and property goes - and you end up with the slums and garbage strewn “neighborhoods” of which we see too much.

When does this come to your locality?

SNACKSPLANATION #3: Justification for a Justified Shooting in Minneapolis (Alex Jeffrey Pretti) - and the Fog of War

David Scott — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 17:42:21 GMT

This post is public so feel free to share it. Subscribe below.

____________________________________________________________________________

Well, well, well… depending on one’s point-of-view, another

“ICE WARRIOR”… or
“ICE WATCHER”… or
“PEACEFUL PROTESTOR”…or
WALZ/FREY/MSM/SCHOOL-INDOCTRINATED SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST/OPEN-BORDERS IDIOT…

,,,has been shot and killed.

Now begins the angst and analysis by various pundits, politicians, and plebes (the latter is employing this definition: The common people; the mob).

I’m hearing that Mr. Pretti’s gun remained holstered (I hope I’m ok referring to him as a “mister” - I’m admitting an assumption, here). What if it was holstered? By all accounts the guy was interfering with ICE agents, and while being removed from the action, an agent noticed he had a gun (he also had extra magazines with rounds of ammo).

The agent dutifully shouted, “Gun! Gun!” (I’m not certain the number of times). Another agent did not, could not, know if this merely meant the suspect possessed a weapon or if it was pointed and on the cusp of firing. IN WARTIME IT IS CALLED ‘THE FOG OF WAR.’ The phrase is also applied in police actions and any condition where actions accelerate beyond careful chronicling for all of the potentials, actuals, and just-transpireds. Dig?

In a recent column, being the prescient being that I am, I stated that it is grossly unfair to put agents in “Damned if they do; damned if they don’t” situations. Indeed.

Lag on action, you and maybe buddies, are shot, injured, killed. Take action, and all the “Monday morning quarterbacks” brand you as the Gestapo (again), and a “murderer.” And, don’t forget, ICE agents are not “real law enforcement officers” according to Minnesota’s and Minneapolis’ best luminaries

It’s not that THE FOG OF WAR grants license for outlaw behavior (unless one is a bona-fide criminal). The FOG OF WAR often does demand aggressive action in the face of people who put the dice of fate into play, naively believing themselves immune to simple Karma by virtue of their anemic “adulthoods” and allied beliefs and ignorant thinking.

It wasn’t the agent’s job, duty, or requirement for perfection (the latter an impossible, grossly unfair, standard) to read the suspect’s mind. (Or should I say, “minds”? After all, he might be 2-spirit. I don’t want to be an assumptive, privileged, White man).

It was the firing agent’s duty to look, listen, adjudicate as best he could the surrounding situation, make a determination, and take good-faith action. And, so he did. Upon hearing, “Gun! Gun!” he shot the guy. Good.

Mr. Pretti put his own death-ball in motion and it took a bad bounce. Welcome, Man-Child, to the world of grown-ups.

Or should I simply say, “Goodbye.” Don’t let the pavement hit you in the ass.

Snacksplanation #2: THEY - WE : Explained

David Scott — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 19:37:38 GMT

____________________________________________________________________________

SNACKSPLANATION #2: They - We Explained:

UPDATE: I should have included these on the sides as follows:

They are the: Rancid mainstream media (MSM): ABC; CBS; NBC; PBS; NPR, etc., as well as specific podcasts and shows such as Don Lemon and The View (which some rightly call “The Spew”)…

We are the: Alt-media; independent podcasts of plain sense (not agenda-driven indoctrinations); and people such as Nick Shirley and David Hoch and their related media endeavors, and so forth…

Areas involving schooling, medicine, science, climate, and on and on, lead to a huge list. The enemies to plain sense and sanity are multitudes but, of course, pressing into the USA in ever-evolving and increasing ways.

THE (alleged) MINNEAPOLIS WHEEL-O-FRAUD

David Scott — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 21:10:27 GMT

Well, it’s alleged that this is what’s happening. But, we all know it’s true.

THE MINNEAPOLIS WHEEL-O-FRAUD (and elsewhere):

Of course, upon Stage 4, above, rake offs (allegedly, ha ha) not only go to Dems, but into the pockets of Somalis and back to Somalia to include terrorists.

Meantime, have a look at this:

SNACKSPLANATION #1: The "KAREN" Explained

David Scott — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 16:52:40 GMT

First, today begins a series called “Snacksplanation”s. These are short pieces, or treatments, meant to explain my view of various social issues and ills: i.e., what they are; why they exist; and possibly even how to illuminate them for others… maybe even ideas for solving them, all in convenient, relatively short, bite-sized lengths.

Snacksplanations (trademarked) are kinda like potato chips (but healthy!); readily consumed and digested - as opposed to long, esoteric, treatments that we all slog through… coming to the end only to conclude: What a load of bullshit! (Except for mine, of course). These Snacksplanations will be interspersed with the usual longer, but mid-lengthed, pieces I usually write. Snacksplanations will always be identified as such, and numbered.

THE KAREN* EXPLAINED - Snacksplanation #1

Most readers understand the term “Karen,” but for any who don’t, a brief definition: The term “Karen” (as opposed to the mere name of an individual) is usually applied to any woman of complaining-nature; finding fault with everything, amplifying small social abrasions, and turning everything into cataclysmic injustices.

And now, further illumination:

A Karen makes an appointment to see a psychiatrist.

She says to him, “Doctor, I can’t seem to concentrate on anything at work. I work with a bunch of assumptive men. They’re such jerks. They’re always looking at me and I just know what they’re thinking. They all have dirty minds. I just can’t get anything done!”

The psychiatrist says, “Let’s try a little test.”

He draws a square on a piece of paper. “Can you tell me if this reminds you of anything?”

She answers, “Sex.”

He then draws a picture of a triangle. “And does this remind you of anything?”

She answers, “Sex.”

He frowns, draws a circle, asking, “And this?”

She answers, “Sex!”

A trapezoid engenders the same.

“Sex!”

The psychiatrist says, “It would seem to me that your concentration is being impacted by your own unusual obsession with sex…”

She exclaims, “WELL, YOU’RE THE ONE DRAWING ALL THE DIRTY PICTURES!!”

In other words, Karens never harbor the fault. It’s always outside of themselves. The faults are engendered and harbored by others. Karens are without fault and always right.

Beware. (Be aware; observant; careful).

MINNEAPOLIS UPDATE: Renee Good is Still Dead... and Here is Why (that is good)

David Scott — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 02:20:32 GMT

[By the way, if you’d like to read one of Renee Good’s “award winning” poems, you can here. Be forewarned. Otherwise, if you’d like to read a poem by me, it is under my bio, below]

Renee Good, the woman who impeded ICE from doing their job last week, is dead. She was ordered to exit her vehicle, refused, then drove straight toward an ICE agent.

Ms. Good was blocking a roadway and ignored an officer’s order to exit her vehicle. She struck the officer in an attempt to drive away… her vehicle’s strike to the officer’s body was both visible and audible, as evidenced on videos.

The agent was obligated to attempt a jump, quick-step, dance out of the way of her vehicle only in service to himself… if he could. In other words, if he had time to determine her upcoming action; if he had time to move and move enough distance to avoid being struck. He is not obligated, nor able, to read her mind and anticipate with any degree of perfection her random tromp on the gas pedal, and thus gauge her resultant speed and direction. In other words, her velocity. (Velocity is speed paired with direction: i.e., 30 mph due east, 45 mph northwest, and so forth).

It matters not whether she was turning her wheel away from him. In the sliced moments of milliseconds he could not know that. In fact, I saw her turn her wheel left first, then right. He could know that the vehicle lurched toward him - that was an immediate, visceral, knowledge… and the vehicle was now a 2-ton deadly weapon with, further, a person inside whose motive he could not know. His duty was now to himself - to disable the weapon’s fulfillment of its trajectory. And so he did. Good. (No pun intended).

People such as Renee Good are increasingly described as ICE WARRIORS. They are trained to impede, to obstruct, to endanger others; they are dangerous. They exhibit degrees of mental illness more often than not. They spend the limited, precious, moments of their lives chanting, yelling, shrieking, and attempting to block lawful apprehensions of illegal entrants to our country… our very special country. Ours. ICE Officers attempting to support the laws enacted by Congress are placed at risk every day thanks to all of these people, illegal entrants and supporters alike.

The illegal entrants have committed a crime just by being here; having transgressed our border outside our laws. This country is not theirs. They also happen to comprise a group of both alleged and proven thieves, rapists, and scam artists - from countries that slum themselves with corruption. These are entrants who then not only commit the most heinous of crimes, but who also steal our taxpayer dollars, enriching themselves, their countrymen/women “back home,” and their enabling Democrat politicians’ campaign war chests… with our laundered tax dollars.

Why can’t they remain in their countries of origin and fix them, instead of ruining ours? A very provocative question, indeed.

I’ve heard news reports that have Renee Good disrupting ICE agents at least four times. Apparently, parenting her own child (however indoctrinating and lousy that parenting was likely to be) was not enough responsibility: She had to agitate on behalf of imaginary Somali daycare children, and on behalf of the formerly mentioned thieves, rapists, and scammers. Good on her. (Pun intended).

I am glad Renee Good is dead. I wish no one harm, but being that she is dead, I am glad of it. I said it because I have the studied arrival at a sound conclusion, the capacity to not BS myself*, and the guts to say it. She is out of her misery, and smiling pictures aside, you have to be miserable to insert yourself into lawful processes that are none of your business, at the expense of life’s other higher purposes. Learn to play piano, or pinochle, or parcheesi, or go paint a boat, or fly a kite, or teach your six-year-old how to program a computer, or … or learn to write actual poetry. Maybe… maybe…… maybe just mind your own business.

* [I wanted to attribute this but cannot find its source. It may well be my own: It is one thing to bullshit others; it is quite another to bullshit oneself]

I am also glad she’s dead because I am an empiricist and a pragmatist (among other things). I am not heartless. Condolences to her wife and son. But, they are at war with us - we are not at war with them. How do you think that works out? And… they are increasing in numbers. They own the mainstream media (thank goodness for the burgeoning alternative media). They own the public school and university systems. They own most of the so-called “arts.” They seem to own most of the medical “sciences.” In looking at the Minneapolis police department, and in viewing reports of “no shows” to calls and reports of refusals to support ICE, they seem to own police departments in blue cities and states. And they own a good number of the youth - the future.

Someone is funding these ICE Warriors and it is with the goal of bringing down the best Constitutional Republic this world has seen. And these misguided warriors will not stop. They are at war with anyone who is not a Leftist. I am not a conservative, I am not a Christian, I am not a Republican. I am a registered Independent, I am an author, I am a vet, I am a retired I.T. executive, I am a Bohemian Libertarian, a free thinker, an intellectual, and an existentialist - and more - but they hate me and are at war with me because I voted for Trump three times.

Had Renee Good lived (that is, by virtue of her own responsibility as a citizen to follow an officer’s reasonable instruction) she would have caused more disruption. I can be confident of that. That is the political Left today. We can reasonably ask: What is the difference henceforth between the Democrat Party and a domestic terrorist organization? After all…

The Democrat Party and Democrats take the side of narco-terrorists, dictators, socialists, communists, pedophiles, drag queens in children’s classrooms (stay in sex clubs, please), creeping-encroaching-Sharia, criminals, drug addicts, drug boats, homeless encampments, graft, kickbacks, the sexual confusing of children, the “transitioning” of children, men and boys in women’s and girl’s sports/restrooms, and on and on and on. It is wearying to any thinking person. Increasingly, the rational people amongst us feel that the enemy is inside the gates… because it is. They are inside Congress. They are inside mayors’ offices. They are inside governorships. They are in your cities, in your counties, in your local organizations, and even in your local fake daycare centers and fake food banks sucking taxpayer dollars the way a vampire sucks blood. Or a leech.

We have Muslims promoting socialism over capitalism, denigrating “rugged individualism” in favor of “the warmth of collectivism.” Welcome to the Soviet Union. Welcome to the United States of Collective Gulags. Absent a reversal, ladies, you’ll be in a burka inside of 20 years.

The Left believes the USA has no right to a better standard of living than others’. If we continue importing the third world we become the third world. It is that simple. Of course, the Left’s leadership will gather “the warmth of collectivism” as votes, so as to gather ever-more power. They will live high on the hog as us peons fight for scraps. You will own nothing and be mandated to like it. That is the plan.

I went to a “No Kings” rally in my mid-size town this past summer. I attempted rational conversations about a dozen times on both sides of Main Street. I might chronicle those elsewhere, but for now: I am satisfied that half of this country is bona fide mentally ill. The people were emotional, angry, and incapable of carrying forward any type of sequential academic argument. They answer with non sequiturs. They have no appreciation of their irony. They were ignorant: They are not only divorced from facts, they are simply dumb. They know nothing of history, to include the Democrat Party’s role in, and instigation of, insurrection, treason, sedition, slavery, lynching, the KKK, segregation, firehoses, dogs, internment camps… I didn’t even get into that stuff. My few points were kept simple for simpletons.

For example, I saw more signs regarding “Free Speech” than almost anything else. When I asked how their speech was being impeded or imperiled, they said “Trump got Jimmy Kimmel fired!” No amount of rational exposure regarding that made a dent; ABC merely suspended him for four shows - and rightly so. I asked, “We’re speaking. We’re free to talk. No?” I suggested to several that they start a Substack account (free), a political column, and speak to their heart’s content to any accrual of free subscribers. They do not want rationality, they do not want solutions, they do not want general betterments. These people thrive on conflict, strife, and the misplaced, sick, satisfaction in ruining good things. (And people). That is who they are - that is what they do. That is ALL they can do.

I was called a “Nazi” with regularity. I was pointed at, I was screamed at and I was videoed. In one instance, a woman, early 20s, very nearly hit me in the head with her sign as she deliberately waved it forward and back in front of my face - at least a dozen times. Calling these people at all of these so-called “protests” - riots - bat-shit crazy would be to insult bats and people who are involuntarily restrained in straitjackets so as to prevent self-harm.

As an important final point, we must understand that all law enforcement officers are only human. It is grossly unfair to put them in harm’s way while expecting them to be perfect. We owe them the best possible environment in which to make apprehensions and arrests - which means staying out of the way. We cannot allow a “fail sure” crucible where officers enter a “damned if they do/damned if they don’t” type of trap. We need the arena to be structurally sound: Local police departments ready to reinforce ICE; local governance calling for calm; local leaders telling people to go about their own business, and to stay the hell out of streets and out of law enforcement officers’ faces… lest they be arrested and charged with interference. Period.

If you don’t like Congress’ (our) laws, vote. If you don’t like something law enforcement does, go to City Hall. Attend a public meeting. Go to a Coffee with a Cop meeting at a local coffee shop. Don’t have those? Start one - regularize it - and catch their side.

But Democrats/Leftists/Socialists/Communists don’t want that. They don’t work toward betterment. They work toward embitterment. THAT is what they want. They are sick. Simply sick. They want embitterment and war. And the loss of this war will have you living in Somalia’s twin.

Therefore: I remain glad that Renee Good is dead.

Life (of a shadow)

A shadow there, it bloomed and crept

born with Night, while Sun slept

not there on yesterday

but through a change came and stayed…

…for a time - it believed to be

without end –

shadows don’t see

So Shadow grew, its cast lengthened

Its depth now cool, the shadow strengthened

‘Till it believed it could control

Its size and shape, and so you grow…

To fall on ever expanding ground -

‘till you believe yourself -

profound

When suddenly the hands unseen

remove an object, where Shadow’d been…

~ And just that fast, its shape fled ~

It could not know that it had been

nor others know, it was there when

Through nothing but a random chance

was born of others’ circumstance

When Light did play, without contrition

that not design, nor by permission

It chanced to match

the shadow’s ambition…

Yet even now, not Light’s choice

but another’s that stills Shadow’s voice -

and Light now falls with full glare ~

There is no shadow…

nor thoughts it dared.

Happy Holidays; Merry Christmas; Happy New Year; Rosh Hashanah... and so forth...

I can’t litanize all of the holiday greetings, but managed to squeak out a few. I’m really writing today about a book signing I did at a small, independent, bookstore. I do these from time-to-time - and also the large bookfests that transpire around and about (the next ones being in Newark, Ohio this summer and another one in Coshocton, Ohio). They’re fun - and keep me abreast of how the young freaks today look and think - it’s interesting! - sincerely.

For those interested, I was interviewed briefly here regarding a couple of my books. (I’m batting cleanup; or starting at 3:25). You may need a facebook account to view this:

I’ll be back with some political commentary in the new year, including the possible debut of a podcast.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and stay safe! I’m still carryin’ (smile).

MAMDANI WINS: America, We Hardly Knew Ye

David Scott — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 19:17:20 GMT

Before we get to some excellent illustrations for the fall of New York City, a couple observations about the boy (he truly is) who was elected to the Mayorship of New York City. First, a couple nicknames apply to Zohran Mamdani:

Mamdummy
MomMommy (his only “real job” was working for his mommy)
ManNancy
Mamdhimmi
Others (fill in below)

It’s hard for many to believe that a totalitarian* idiot was elected Mayor of America’s largest city… the financial capital of the country and some say the world. But it’s not hard for me to believe. After all, this is a country that elected a man named Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency, with all the attendant idiocy of that man (We’re five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America!) No one seems to know for sure if he started life as “Barrack Obama” or Barry Soetoro, or even who his real father is - just compare pictures of his purported father with him, and then compare Obama with Frank Marshall Davis.

But Mamdani has never managed a budget and economy of any size; he’s never managed anything like the country’s largest police force; he’s never succeeded at any job. But that’s ok: He just stated that there is no problem too large for government to solve, nor any concern too small for government’s involvement. If that doesn’t scare the shit out of you, you have no brain.

* “Democratic Socialism” is not democratic and it is not socialism - it’s a sick oxymoron. The people in that belief-basket are communists. And Mamdani is worse: He is also a Muslim… an Islamist. A double dose of totalitarianism, being that Islam runs everything in your life: Your beliefs, your diet, your schedule, your social life, your “after-life” (if there is one - if anyone claims to know for sure they’re fullashit), your clothes (women; get ready for your first burka!), your forced-prayer (five times a day!)… to Mohamed and Allah… The word Islam is derived from the word istislam, which means “surrender.” In other words, surrender to God’s laws. Allah’s laws. Wheeeeee! Sounds fun! Ever heard the call to prayer? Five times a day? It sounds about as ugly as you’d imagine. And, happy-happy-joy-joy, we’re importing more Muslims!

Here ya go:

Before the Islamification of America:

AFTER -

Woman: What. The Fuck. Happened???

“Queers for Palestine” must be the stupidest idiots on the planet:
