The Paleoconservative

Brief talk today about Presidents Trump and Biden, with a bit of Ron Desantis thrown in

A few subjects today : Jimmy Buffet and the death of the beach bum, Black Lives Matter and easy virtues, and sub-par wartime propaganda.

Mostly a discussion of transgender matters in sports and in prisons. This episode is pretty long by my normal standards. Some links: https://twitter.com/i_heart__bikes https://boysvswomen.com https://en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sex_differences_in_crime#In_the_United_States

For today we have: The so-called coup in Russia The Supreme Court Old Music vs. New Bowling!

My thoughts on the awful saga of Daniel Penny and Jordan Neely.

Discussion of a few news items this week that I thought were of note. Phobia Indoctrination https://elizamondegreen.substack.com/p/phobia-indoctrination-not-trans-genocide In-group perception and white liberals https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/americas-white-saviors

Since we reached the 20th anniversary of the Iraq invasion and so many pieces were written on the subject, I thought it would be time to actually (finally!) discuss neoconservatism in some actual depth. Links to some of what was discussed: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4746361/shining-city-hill-ronald-reagan-1988-state-union-address https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4509283/user-clip-george-bush-199...

Brief analysis of some news items or other things I found interesting: Parents Bill of Rights https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/6056 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house-republicans-introduce-parents-bill-rights-education-legislation/story?id=97561069 Farmers' protest party win shock Dutch vote victory https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64967513 Tocqueville, continued...

The left, it seems, is displeased with things of late. So displeased, perhaps, that they are actually clinically depressed. Let's continue our examination of this. I look at some explanations offered by Jonathan Haidt, Jill Filipovic, and yes, even Taylor Lorenz. And I put my own spin of things, of course. https://jonathanhaidt.substack.com/p/mental-health-liberal-girls https://jill.substack.com/p...

Is the left ok? Why are they so obsessed with their safety? Aren't things getting better? https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/send-in-the-troops https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tocqueville_effect https://news.gallup.com/poll/318851/perceptions-white-black-relations-sink-new-low.aspx

Was President Trump a racist and Islamaphobic tyrant? I'm guessing no, but let's discuss. Links discussed: https://www.c-span.org/video/?407380-1/1980-republican-presidential-candidates-debate https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1616415245605502977

A discussion of a few topics, all related to the rule of law. Antifa, Kenosha, Kyle Rittenhouse. We even throw in Ruby Ridge and Waco since right-wingers love that stuff.

Discussion of some key points in United States / Russia relations, plus a discussion of the current invasion of Ukraine and our military aid, from the perspective of the right.
