Walmart Battle Orc @ASo1omons:  "Brits are lost."

Egyptians only kept records of the good things.  So every battle was a win, just... closer.

Three illegals have been charged with armed robbery in Massachusetts.  I think the punishment should be somewhat more severe than whatever free room and board they will undoubtedly receive.

One reason why political pugilism is so popular is everybody wins.  At least, everybody who likes you and who you therefore like in return will slap you on the back no matter how poorly you did.

I may have figured out why the left, for all it's incessant winning, is so miserable.

“You ask me what makes Rockefeller the unquestioned leader in our group.  Well, it is simple. In business we all try to look ahead as far as possible. Some of us think we are pretty able. But Rockefeller always sees a little further ahead than any of us—and then he sees around the corner.”  -John Archbold

I've been listening to a "Great Course" on Audible.  It's by a man of the left and is therefore alienating and a bit dull.

He manages to critique Isaac Newton, the Bible, and Great Britain in the first two hours.

“Often it is those who are most critical of a ‘Eurocentric’ view of the world who are most Eurocentric when it comes to the evils and failings of the human race.” -Thomas Sowell, Black Rednecks and White Liberals

Martin Luther King, Jr was many things.  Like me, he advocated nonviolent protest.  Unlike me, he was a Communist sympathizer.  An advocate of reparations and antiwhite discrimination.  But the most distressing allegation about the man is what he did in a hotel room once in the early 1960s.

“Man, I went through hell … I’ve really never been this sick,” he said.

Stern also thanked those who helped develop the vaccine against COVID-19.

“What a wallop this thing is — can you imagine if we didn’t have the vaccine?”

Josh Slocum:  Mistakenly once believed "That "science" was an un-contaminated-by-human-ego endeavor that could solve all human problems."

To tolerate does not mean to forget that what we tolerate does not deserve anything more.  -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

I would rather die having spoken in my manner, than speak in your manner and live. For neither in war nor yet in law ought any man use every way of escaping death. For often in battle there is no doubt that if a man will throw away his arms, and fall on his knees before his pursuers, he may escape death, if a man is willing to say or do anything. The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs deeper than death.  –Socrates

"I have also turned to Christianity because I ultimately found life without any spiritual solace unendurable — indeed very nearly self-destructive. Atheism failed to answer a simple question: what is the meaning and purpose of life?"  -Ayaan Hirsi Ali
