Biden's campaign is, I think, the first presidential campaign to have ever been done with literally zero human interaction. He has billionaires dropping hundreds of millions of dollars a piece on television and online advertising in a handful of swing states, but he has absolutely no ground game to speak of. The campaign set up … Continue reading Biden’s campaign is shaping up to be an interesting social experiment →

When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there … Continue reading On “Cuties” and protecting children from toxic influences →

Disaster selfies.

I had this idea to use vintage travel prints from around Florida as decor in our new mid-century modern house in South Florida (assuming everything works out, fingers crossed). In the process at looking at those, I found this picture of Palm Beach from 1905. How cool is this?

I am a big fan of Sally Clarkson and all she has to say about homeschooling, having a home-centered life in general, and that education should leave a child with a sense of enchantment about their world. I was pleasantly surprised to see she has a piece on Fox this morning about how her adult … Continue reading Sally Clarkson on Fox News today →

I missed one of my top election proxies... End-of-month reporting from the FBI on background checks for new firearms purchases. Remember, this UNDERESTIMATES gun sales, as not all firearms-related transactions involve an FBI background check, and it obviously excludes outright illegal sales. (Given the number of Antifa brats with domestic violence charges that are toting … Continue reading Gun sales top 3 million for 4th straight month →

Following up on the topic of how bad national corporate media polling is now, a new poll from the Miami Herald suggests Trump has a larger share of Miami's Latinos than Biden and that Biden is dramatically under-performing Clinton in what has historically been a major Democratic stronghold. That directly contradicts national pollsters that say … Continue reading Local polling suggests Biden has lost Miami Latinos to Trump →

A person applies to vote by mail, mails in their ballot, and then shows up on the day of the election to vote in-person. Democrats call this a "conspiracy theory," but it is something that … Continue reading A thousand people successfully double-voted in Georgia primary →

Back in the 2016 election cycle, I texted back and forth with a lobbyist friend in Washington DC nearly every day sharing counterpoints to political polling. Nearly everyone I knew was voting for Trump, and the folks who were voting for Clinton had lost it mentally in ways I could not describe. They were becoming … Continue reading Why does political polling suck so much? →
