I’m going to risk a prognostication and predict that the latest shooter isn’t “White” in the “White, Anglo Saxon, Protestant” sense of “White.”
Now, let’s see if I’m mistaken.

Conversations with Women (and Girls)
I spoke briefly to a woman at the “meet the teachers” event at my son’s school. She asked me if she was in the correct room (a waystation for parents when a teacher was absent), I replied, “Yes,” and then asked the name of her child. She replied, and that was the end of the conversation: no reciprocal question about my son, no introductions, no small talk. We sat in silence together for the next 10 minutes.
Initially, I considered this antisocial behavior odd, but then I read a(nother) blog post here at WordPress regarding the alleged phenomenon feminists label as “mansplaining.” I’m observing hostility from women in both public and private encounters whenever the cordial conduct necessary to accomplish customer-vendor transactions isn’t necessary. If hostility followed conversations more complex than “Hello” I’d worry that perhaps my social skills had entirely vanished, but the moment of shunning really has developed to be the moment a woman recognizes she’s speaking with a man.
I’ll keep an eye on this strange behavior, but it may be a relief to join the custom of mutual shunning.
It’s not like I’ve met many women with anything useful to say.
Ilhan Omar: Homewrecker
The depravity of Congressional Representatives once again displays itself.
I fear our government is cursed. Any slightly superstitious nation worried about the evils done in its name would demolish the spoiled institutions and salt the earth.
Faceberg… er, Facebook
Joshua Johnson, the host of the radio show, 1A, accidentally called the social networking website, Facebook, “Faceberg.”
It’s funny how the chan culture invades the minds of Americans.
Rhetorical Slight of Hand
Have you heard somebody say, “Fewer immigrants utilize public services than native-born Americans,” to excuse immigration of dependent people into the USA?
Can you tell me how much of US Treasury owes to people who aren’t US citizens?
There are No Ethnic Slurs
There are only words which accurately identify ethnicities which also carry the crushing weight of history.
It’s not the word which upsets a man: it’s the story that word tells the world which those men want forgotten, even if only for a moment.
Epstein
I do not believe Epstein killed himself.
Neither should you.
Burn it all down.
