Friends, don't miss my latest article, which exposes one of the machinations that Big Pharma regularly employs to boost its already absurdly high profit margins: "patent trolling". And of course many in Congress are turning a blind eye.

Check out this article about Hungary's and Viktor Orban's increasingly bold opposition to aid for Ukraine. Their main argument? Ukraine doesn't belong in the EU or NATO, and, given its miserable performance on the battlefield, it might be time to reconsider these wildly unrealistic objectives. Ya think???

Finally, poor Rudy Giuliani has been hit with a massive bill for "damages" arising from his alleged defamation of two Georgia poll workers. The judgement greatly exceeds what Giuliani would be able to pay, which, as I predicted, means that the Left, and its creatures in the justice system, are essentially trying to win an economic victory over free speech and democracy itself. If Giuliani owes $148 million for his "lies" about the 2020 election, then how much must Donald Trump owe? For that matter, what about the Republican Party? Why not sue it into the ground? Hey, maybe I should stop giving the lefties bright ideas...
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Whether or not Ukraine belongs in Nato is beside the compelling point( which would perhaps be impolitic for Orban to express, given past Russian savagery in Hungary). Russia will never tolerate Ukraine in Nato and will use any means necessary to prevent it! But considering whether Ukraine "belongs " in Nato could be a diplomatic way for him to detach Hungary from a hopeless cause. I do not know what concerns Russia might have about Ukraine in the EU but I would think they are not matters of VITAL national security as is for Russia the very thought of Ukraine in an obviously antiRussia military alliance.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Since the antiamerican left has freed itself from moral strictures by resolving to destroy America by any means necessary, their minds have leave to dream of well, anything, in order to achieve that indispensable justness. And we know of course how very much given they are to dreaming! But they would be loathe to consider any idea expressed on this site, other than to sneer and that is a mark of honor.
ReplyDeleteUntil the so called "Republicans" realize that playing dirty is the ONLY way to win against The Left, they will not win anything.
ReplyDeleteDr Waddy from Jack: The BBC article mentioned EU sanctions against Russian oil and gas and a shared Rus - Hungarian vision of a neutralized Ukraine as a buffer zone. But its a military buffer Russia demands, I think. I don't think EU membership would pose the military threat that Nato membership would though it probably would antagonize the Rus.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy and anonymous from Jack: We are fighting to preserve our civilization from an internal faction determined to subjugate, punish it and fundamentally transform it on the historically condemned marxist model. That's flat!That's as certain as certain can be.Can we afford to sniff "well, we can't sink to their level"? Using whatever regretable measures necessitated by this unprecedented threat to defeat these incipient barbarians is a morally supportable imperative. Their vision is of a totalitarian regime with all the incalculable evil history ascribes to its equally dreamy and frantic predecessors. Our vision is of a continuing imperfect but on balance just and prosperous America. The OBVIOUS best choice makes our way clear.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS JACK I was the anonymous on that brief comment.

Dr. Waddy and Ray et al from Jack: Is it perhaps going too far to predict of modern marxists in total power that they would manifest inhumanity equal to that of communism( or its bedfellow, naziism) in the 20th century? We may be getting a wake up call on that since Oct. 7 in the atavistic viciousness toward Jews and Israel energetically prosecuted by many on the left. Their instant reaction to Israel's self defense heralds their subhuman intent should they ever take over. And it wouldn't be only Jews or Israel they would oppress; it would be ANYONE who troubles them in any way.Is it worth an all out resolve to defeat them?Was it necessary to fight WWII or the Cold War?
ReplyDeleteIf you ask me, adding Ukraine to the EU is beside the point, when there might not be a Ukraine imminently. Only a NATO commitment to defend Ukraine would meaningfully alter the situation.
ReplyDeleteHmm. Do Republicans need to "play dirty" to win, in the final analysis? Probably, but there are many variations of "dirty". Probably we cannot afford to be SEEN to play dirty, because that can and will be used against us in the media and everywhere else. Ultimately, when you lose control over the culture, you WILL lose control over everything, sooner or later. I repeat what I've said before: what Musk did in acquiring Twitter is probably more significant to the long-term future of America than anything Trump has ever done or said, because Musk is clawing back our voice and our influence over public opinion. But Musk isn't playing dirty (as far as I know). He's playing smart.
Ah, so we should use any and all means to defeat the totalitarian left! Well! That covers a lot of ground. Such as??? For instance, we could cheat (brazenly) in the 2024 election to win it. We could take to the streets and intimidate or attack our enemies. We could foment a military coup against Biden and his cronies. We could do lots of things, but whether we should is another question. These are not just moral and legal questions, after all. They are also practical questions. Taking some of these actions would, probably, be the best way to hand the dastardly Dems an excuse to assume total power themselves.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: The onerous decision to abandon certain moral strictures is sometimes necessary for an on balance just nation. Examples are killing the enemy in war or the execution of proven vicious criminals. When an opposite doctrine or entity is deemed completely destructive, outlaw, unworthy of existence, then the accuser may see itself free of all bounds in seeking to destroy the "pariah". The antiamerican left embraces this view of America.I agree with you that in defending America we must be yet principled in deciding what tactics are necessary but be unshakeably resolved to see as the absolutely essential objective the preservation of our civilization, which must now fully recognize the domestic threat to its very existence.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Very good point about Musk. But we can't defeat the antiamerican left monster by his monumental efforts alone. We may have to resort to ENFORCED criminal law to defeat it.
ReplyDeleteJack, I don't think very many people could argue with the notion that, when someone or something threatens you and those you love "existentially" -- that is, your very lives -- then virtually any action is justified in meeting the threat. The problem is that, in politics, people are identifying (rhetorically) "existential" threats all the time. Most of them are imaginary. Most of the remainder are hyperbolic chimeras. Only a few are serious. Virtually none are genuinely "existential". So...where does that leave us? Nowhere, really. All we can do is exercise our own personal judgement and try to act sensibly and morally, based on our own internal compasses. As for battling the neo-Marxist left, I could perhaps go along with the "all necessary means" logic...but means that are counterproductive are decidedly NOT necessary. Until there's a Republican president again, I would say conservatives had better behave themselves and follow the law, because the alternative, if we "insurrect" (even a little), is greatly accelerated "radical transformation" of a kind we won't like.
