“A writer writes, always.” – Throw Momma From The Train
Gravity is a conspiracy theory. It’s how the man keeps you down.
I wrote a while back about why I write. TL, DR: because I want to.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, perhaps another question is, who am I writing to?
TL, DR: You.
But a lot more follows.
I guess I’ll start for who I’m not writing for: Leftists. I don’t care about their opinion. At all. Anyone who thinks that a human who has/had testicles should compete in sports as a woman is delusional. Anyone who thinks that prosperity can be bought with a printing press is dangerous.
There’s little to no reason to think that anything I ever will write or ever could write would interest a Leftist in the slightest. This blog has had one or two Leftist trolls in the comments. We ignored them, they went away nearly immediately. I think that reading the things I write is probably painful for them. They’d love to troll here, but that means they have to read it first.
Vampires are like Leftists: they don’t reflect.
Leftists seem to be able to read, it’s the comprehension that gets them. And I don’t think that Leftists will ever be convinced by mere words.
No, there are only two things that convince a Leftist they’re wrong:
- When the State that they created decides to send the police in the middle of the night to collect them. Generally, the next part is The End. How? With a bullet (just a few, bullets are expensive) or, more likely, intentional starvation. At the point when the real hunger sets in, I imagine more than one of them has that final thought: “Maybe I was wrong.”
- When a long drop from a great height ends in a sudden impact. Call it Pinocetivation instead of motivation. It has the advantage of being a sudden and permanent cure. There are, of course, variations on this them involving vast amounts of kinetic energy applied to a small portion of the body through a fast-moving projectile. You get the point.
Leftists are, generally, not redeemable. Once the infection of Leftism has set in, just like a ‘Rona mRNA shot, they’ll never be the same again. Ever.
So, I’m not writing for them. Even statements that have been proven to be true for thousands of years of human existence will be denied by them. Why? Because that’s not what we’ve believed for (checks watch) five years now. It’s (insert current year here).
So, I’m not writing for Leftists.

I’m also not writing to vilify things I see that I don’t like on the Right. I’ve seen enough of history to know that atrocity really only comes from the Left. The Right? Mainly if the Right is unchecked they want to produce free and open societies where their citizens can be left alone so they can be prosperous.
Ohhh, scary. I kid, but to a Leftist, the idea of a free and prosperous society that chooses who can (and can’t!) be a citizen is scary.
Leftists have a big problem with the idea of “their citizens” because to a Leftist, everyone is a possible American citizen. They just aren’t Americans yet.
That’s obvious nonsense.
The policies of the Left, when unchecked lead to the greatest horrors man has ever seen on Earth. The policies of the Right, when unchecked lead to the greatest prosperity that has ever been seen anywhere, at any time ever on Earth.
That’s why I don’t, and won’t, shoot Right. Do I endorse everything everyone on the Right says? Of course not!
Even though I don’t write about the things I disagree with, I write (mainly) for the Right. I’m not trying to convert anyone. I’m also not trying to spread dissension in our ranks. That’s what the Left is for, and I won’t do add fuel to the fire for them.
Yup, this is the energy policy of the Left in a nutshell.
Several readers I know in real life. I’ve written many posts with them in mind. Many readers I’ve grown to know over time through comments and email exchanges. I write with them in mind, too. I don’t hold my tongue to not offend someone. Not everyone shares all of the same opinions. What one friend might agree with, another might disagree with.
That’s okay. This isn’t a cult. Unlike the Left, we’ll take you even if you’re not up to every single nuance of our current doctrine.
But when I write, I want to do this: make people think about the world in a different way. There is nothing I love more than when I find that something I thought was true was false. It gives me pause, and makes me reassess my philosophy from top to bottom.
I recall a particular day where I did just that: George “read my lips” Bush came out against a tax cut. This particular tax cut was proposed by a Democrat. Bizarro world? Sure. But I realized that George was just another one of them – the permanent ruling class in Washington.
I won’t promise I’m consistent, but I do promise to tell the Truth. And when I find I was wrong? I’ll tell you that, too. I won’t be shy – Pa Wilder taught me that telling the Truth about being wrong isn’t the sign of a weak man.
Writing to convince people is a fool’s errand. You already know who you are. And if you’re here, chances are good we’d be on the same side. Who knows, some of you may even be in Mayberry and not know that I’m walking around with you daily.
Not my target audience.
In the end, the war of ideas and of information is where our battle will be won. We must keep our heads high, our spirits up, and be of good humor.
Which is why I’m writing to you. Our day will come. This is not over. We are not done.
First I would like to thank you for your posts. We have a similar form of humor so you make me chuckle quite a bit. And you’ve brought a tear to my eye a couple of times. The big fight is coming. After all is said and done I would love to share a beer with you. And if I don’t make it through I’ll read ya on the other side.
I’m with you! Thank you! More to come.
I mostly write for me and maybe for my posterity. It has always been a bit of a surprise that anyone reads what I scribble on the internet and I have tried hard to avoid writing to build an audience as opposed to just writing what I am thinking about. Definitely agree about the leftists, I came to the realization that they were not open to persuasion or reason so I stopped trying, instead focusing on trying to nudge people closer to /ourside/ to come all the way over.
Yup. I realized that in most conversations with the Left, they don’t care about anything I might have to say. But the middle? Hmmm.
There is a tried and true method of opening communists’ minds. It is 99.44% effective. (Gabby Giffords was a fluke, of course.)
When fighting a war, words are an effective weapon. So is money. So are rifles.
Ha! In 2021, you need all three. And PEZ.
I read for much the same reason that you write. I want to know the truth, and I want to know other people want to know the truth. I don’t read the Left outlets because I already absorb too much of their blather through osmosis. I will read anyone’s opinion who mounts a cogent argument, and sometimes I am educated thereby. The Left is ineducable and unreachable, and it is a waste of time to engage them, They don’t think.
I enjoy your writing and take solace in knowing there are others out there like me.
Hello,
I read what you write because you make me laugh, and your opinions may be my
opinions as well. You do a great job at writing, so please continue. And TY.
Thank you! I’d like to think the best is yet to come!
Thank you!
Yup. Leftism. We’re soaking in it. And have been for years.
By the time somebody can be labeled “Left” or “Right”, their mind is pretty much beyond ever being changed. That’s why children and the young are the true battleground where the future will be won or lost. Sadly, “writing” and “words” are not how they are reached anymore – its all about the images. And in general, images don’t reflect reality or promote logical thinking about how to deal with it. Images are used as much to sideline sheeple as much as recruit them for a front line.

When’s your app coming out, John? 🙂
Wow – that’s a lot of folks, and a lot of Mountain Dew fueled armpit smell.
You’re right about the app. Mine just shows a picture of me, all the time.
Ooops. It’s a mirror.
“With a bullet (just a few, bullets are expensive) or, more likely, intentional starvation. ”
My recollection is the ChiComs made their victims pay for the bullet the state used to fire into the backs of their heads before they tumbled forward into the ditch.
Not quite. The family is billed afterwards.
(What Chuck said.)
Left/Right is not particularly relevant in our current dystopia. What is the point of being either when the politicians always manage to find a way to continue to enslave us, regardless of party? We’re almost to the point where we play Guards vs Inmates. Some are gonna love that. Some are gonna hate it.
I’m hopeful that somewhere in the carnage America 2.0 will be born.
Yup. Makes me want to write a post about what The Other Side of this looks like.
I tell stories. I guess that means I’m a liar. Often the left hates them but sometimes the right. Doesn’t matter.

The difference? The Right will try to understand what they disagree with.
We can handle a difference of opinion, something the overgrown infant leftist cannot.
Reality isn’t for everyone and lefty lives in a cloud cuckoo land of delusion that even elementary school students can see right through.
Those dystopian hell 1950’s-1980’s where you could hear every viewpoint on the radio or teevee without fear of censorship.
Censorship was for the totalitarian control freak regimes and how can you get to the truth if you omit or distort certain thoughts or opinions.
The left is a Jonestown death cult that will do us all in (a feature to them) if they aren’t dealt with.
What if the plan is to blame America for the COV-LARP then get the rest of the world to burn it all down for the Long Marchers?
“Therefore, in accordance with strict necessity and justice we must devote ourselves wholly and completely to unrestrained and relentless destruction, which must grow in a crescendo until there is nothing left of the existing social forms. …We say: the most complete destruction is incompatible with creation, therefore destruction must be absolute and exclusive. The present generation must begin with real revolutions. It must begin with a complete change of all social living conditions; this means that the present generation must blindly raze everything to the ground with only one thought: As fast and as much as possible”
Socialist Phenomenon, Igor Shafarevich.
Nice quote. One of my favorite things in college was trading ideas with folks Left of me, it sharpened my ideas and thinking.
Now? I have purposely stopped doing that, because Leftists view it as an attack . . .

Deleted. Thank you so much! I want these to be as good as possible. Much appreciated.
“I think that reading the things I write is probably painful for them.”
The technical term is “cognitive dissonance.”

“Leftists are, generally, not redeemable.”
I wouldn’t say Leftism is a mental disorder, but it does correspond to the far end of several spectrums of brain function/ behavioral modes. I’m pretty sure I’ve ranted about this before here: r/K selection strategy, brain spectrum involving the internalization of abstractions. In short, you can’t cure a Leftist any more than you can cure an autistic (opposite end of spectrum from Leftist, actually) or make rabbits monogamous. I still think electroshock for Leftists would be quite therapeutic though. Not for them, us.

“I’ve seen enough of history to know that atrocity really only comes from the Left.”
That is one of our weaknesses that we have to overcome. The Right is great at winning wars, the Left is great at winning the peace. The Right won in the Spanish civil war, and the ink was hardly dry on the treaty before the Left was again snipping at the margins, pushing for change, calling for ‘Truth and Reconciliation Commissions’ with which to punish the victors, etc. etc. When Franco died, Spain reverted back to a Leftist government without a shot being fired. Even St. Pinochet of the Holy Helicopters allowed for such commissions to be formed in the hope that it would lead to peace with the Leftists. Of course they abused it to get vengeance against the winners.
An honest discussion about accommodation between a Right winger and a Leftist:

Love your comments.
Yes, what’s coming will make the Right brutal. It’s odd, really, because strong fathers come from the Right, who understand that kindness kills.
“So, I’m not writing for Leftists”.
They are sociopathic sociopaths. Nothing spoken or written affects them what so ever.
Keep up the good work as your blog is required reading for me.
Thank you! More to come.
I am a retired blogger from Israel(IDF),I have a new FUNNY/HUMOR blog: funnylinksblog.wordpress.com and I am interested in a Reciprocal Links with your great blog,if it’s possible,please.I think Humor/Satire is important to people,anywhere,anytime,any blog,even in serious and political blogs or any stuff…Best wishes,David.
Simo Häyhä, also known as “The White Death,” was a Finnish sniper who is credited with killing 505 enemy troops within 100 days during the Winter War against the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1940.
Hmmm . . . and how many country boys are on the Right?
For those who think the woke dot MIL is unbeatable, look up the Korangal Valley Campaign where NATO and the US military couldn’t subdue a valley in Afghanistan after five and a half years.
Leftist politicians always prevent patriotic (rightwing) American militaries from achieving victory. Just like they order cops to not intervene against pro-leftist riots.
They will have no compunctions when it’s their troops massacring us.
Yup, and .MIL is degrading by the day.
The people at the bottom, left and right are being squeezed. The internets are not reality. Your neighbors are.
Meatspace.
I was a leftist, born into a leftist family, if by leftist family you mean the kind of hard-scrabble Southerners who would show you the door if you dared to badmouth FDR.
Environmentalism was my gateway drug to the right. As a little girl I started asking some hard sad questions about what the figgery the TVA thought it was doing and that’s when it occurred to me — the TVA is socialism! Maybe socialism is as bad as they say …
By 2001, I was nearing 40. I was almost completely over and done with ALL things remotely lefty. Then Bush II decided that invading a country that had zip to do with 9/11 made sense and the right kissed his butt for it. I moved back to the left, far to the left, because that’s what it took to find other peaceniks around here.
And when Obama was elected in 2008, boom! No more peace work for them. Gay marriage was suddenly so much more important, not to mention anti-racism (just so long as it’s a black guy blowing brown people to bits, huh?)
And there I stood, all by my lonesome, with my impeach Bush stickers.
Now I’m reading you. Most of the writers I read these days would fry the hair of my old friends. It’s a strange, strange lonely feeling. I’ll never be the kind of big business jackass conservative who just LOVES the TVA. I’ll always hate it. I hate it for my people’s sake. It took me 50 years to figure it out. That the left hates my people. They just do. They can’t help themselves. And any time they can grab land and hand it to rich Yankees they will. The left is the TVA and the TVA is the left.
And they will do anything they can to “help” you because? They hate themselves.
Thank you so much for sharing that.
I was a leftist myself…. I don’t think that this it is about left x right anymore and I don’t now how to frame it… maybe it is about being honest with yourself and realizing that wishful thinking and good intentions are not enough to change human nature and hard facts. I think that we are all were idealists when young but it takes some courage to recognize we were wrong, not everybody are ready for that, so we have all that cognitive dissonance.
It is apt that all of the shooters on the firing squad are left-eye dominant.
Ha! Didn’t notice that!
“Who knows, some of you may even be in Mayberry and not know that I’m walking around with you daily.”
I get why people would wish to hide their identities online (though I don’t do so myself), but even so, I find myself wondering “Where the hell is this ‘Mayberry’ of which you speak?”
Modern Mayberry is anywhere in America where the population is 90% whites, 90% Christians, and 90% registered Republicans. YMMV, of course.
(check, check, and check)
Here are the directions:
Y’all probably sayin’
John, how do I get to this place? I wanna go
Everybody!
Everybody wants to go to Mayberry
Let me tell you what you gotta do
Turn right at the light
Go passed the trailer parks
Stand naked, singin’, in the blazing sunlight of liberty
Why would you want to go there?
Where there’s waterslides
With loop-de-loops
And barbeque sauce in the waterslides
And there’s go kart tracks
Going through the middle of the loop-de-loops
And the waterslides
And there’s drive-in movie theater!
Showin’ Vanishing Point, Two-Lane Blacktop and Thunder Road every night
And you can always buy
Cheez Whiz, Beanie Weenies, Royal Crown, Pomade
And liquor stores open 24 hours a day, everyday!
Yeah!
And there’s no fool wearin’ a little badge saying “We ID under 25”
If they ID you
And you’re old enough to buy it
Then you get it free!
(Apologies to Mojo Nixon)
Sounds even better than Big Rock Candy Mountain!
It’s a pretty funny song.
Let them sleep, Great Wotan!
They who know nothing, they who dare nothing.
The fire within their Aryan soul has long expired.
Rudderless and adrift,
Devoid of ancestral courage.
Mediocrity can never grasp thy calling.
Yes…let them sleep.
The thoughtless, the self-serving, the unheroic.
Blind as they are to Nature’s Laws
Truth does not move them,
Nor a pride of their own kind.
These are not men:
They are but mechanistic shadows
Animated within an empty, rootless age!
Yes…they sleep, they sleep.
And when men die in freedom’s fight,
They sleep__clutching life’s hourglass,
Kneeling shamelessly before alien gods,
In a world they have not earned,
This world that once knew so many Golden Ages.
A Warrior’s Lament, Ron McVan
