Thoughts Of The Day

I could go on about what I really think of peace activists but I'll keep it short by paraphrasing Keith Richards: I don't have a problem with shooting peace activists, I only have a problem with the police.

There're no safe spaces to hide in and the financial supporters of Democrats (like George Soros) will be off sipping their cool drinks on an island that doesn't have an extradition treaty with us.  The defenders of liberal values are called conservatives but opponents of liberal values are now called liberals.  Republicans were sent to Washington to do a job, but they haven't done it. 

How many lies will Joe Biden tell before the election?

The thoroughly unpleasant fact of reality is that Hollywood is run by a bunch of unimaginative twerps, the kind of people that Ayn Rand used to call Second Handers.  It's the kind of mentality that wants to maximize profits but is unwilling to try something distinctly new or different.   Thus the glut of sequels and the ongoing cinemisation of the successful television series.  Even if the project is not a sequel or a series adaptation, the Second Handers still attempt to reduce risk by only combining elements that appeared to have worked in the past.  Thus "The Adventures of Pluto Nash," an movie that combines the elements of Eddie Murphy, Computer Generated Imagery, and the Sci-Fi environment, still turns out to be an unwatchable piece of crap.  (When I saw the trailer at the 2002 Convergence, my thought was, oh its "Moon Zero Two: The Next Generation.") 

Antisemitism in politics is the practical equivalent of a dead canary in a coal mine, I can't say this often enough.  Antisemitism is bad enough, but it's also a symptom of a deeper political problem.
