The loopy left love their useful idiots, and currently Donald Trump is serving the role, by being a martyr to their lawfare. "Trump, despite his vast legal problems, remains the GOP front-runner, but there are serious doubts about his electability." whilst Dementia Joe is literally serving that role. "Joe Biden is too far gone, both in physical stamina and mental acuity to handle the job of the Leader of the Free World." The one bright spot is that the loopy left are relatively few in number. "Establishment Democrats and their liberal media mouthpieces expect total electoral loyalty from leftists while offering us little in return." Yes, but let us count those leftists. "The radical wing of the party can still fit our representation in Congress in a three-row SUV. And perhaps we’ve waited long enough to recognize that there’s no reason to expect better in the near future." They continue to pin their hopes on the young. "More than half of [Dementia Joe's] own party has been telling pollsters for months they don’t want him to run again. The sentiment is especially strong among young voters, whose turnout in large numbers is essential for Democrats nationally."
The weekly round-up of pithy elaborations of traditional Cold Spring Shops themes follows.
2. Your tax dollars at work. "In an effort to counter Russian disinformation, the FBI actively allowed American disinformation to spread."
3. Indeed. "If they try to cancel you, do what Jason Aldean did: tell them to get stuffed."
4. Smelly hippies, only wearing spandex? "The study found that cyclists wearing helmets were perceived as less human compared to those without helmets."
6. There's no money, but adding another layer of management will fix things. “Ending homelessness and ensuring every neighbor has access to shelter and supportive services has long been possible in Illinois and across the nation, but we haven't had the collective political, economic – and I say this with love – bureaucratic will to make it happen until now.”
7. Bet on emergence, eschew vanguardism. "We should be aiming for future possibilities co-imagined by many of us, as opposed to living within a vision for the future concocted by a privileged few."
8. Do Chinese houses have basements? "Youth unemployment has become a serious challenge for China, the world’s second-largest economy, especially after three years of “zero-Covid” restrictions weighed heavily on growth."
9. Sometimes you have to restate the basics. "People who have studied congestion pricing in detail were probably bored or exasperated by my discussion." Paul Krugman does good regional economics work, and that includes recognizing that roads are productive assets.
11. Reality bats last. "ALWAYS did not actually mean always. It didn't even mean five years. Now, just four years after his everlasting commitment, [New York mayor Eric] Adams is telling illegal immigrants to stay away."
12. Theorizing toxic masculinity. "It is a perfect microcosm of everything that is ridiculous about Left-wing sneering at people they don’t care for. And apparently, they really don’t care for men at all."
13. Enough is enough. A number of this nation's highest-ranking leaders are a smidge past their primes.
14. Call me Normal, not "neurotypical." "The recent rise of the 'neurodiversity' identity movement, where autism is reinvented as a natural difference to be celebrated, not investigated, prevented, or treated, has helped spread a fairy dust of complacency over the autism world." News flash: the children are facing "cruel consequences" because of it.
15. Bet on emergence, and let the children play. "Opportunities to take more control of your own life when young predict better future well-being."
16. Diversity, equity, and indoctrination. "Rather than increasing the African American presence on campus, these programs serve to deepen the power of the DEI perspective and tighten the grip of administrative power over the life of the university."
17. It couldn't. "How a Chicago income tax could solve the city's revenue problem, without touching property taxes." Tax revenue projections never survive their initial encounter with taxpayers.
18. So far, no illegal aliens asylum seekers in Wrigleyville. "If you are going to be a screaming progressive, make sure you are a rich one."
20. When you create men without chests, what comes next will not be amusing. "We see a context where being masculine has been conflated with the word toxic."
21. When you fail to take care of the O-rings, the shuttle comes apart. "The decline [of civilization] occurred when personal appearance standards devolved."
