Everly Brothers, music

I so tire of the politics, the economics, the robots, the stupidity, and the general turmoil. I really do. That and the success of yesterday’s Dream post prompted this:

Dick’s Sporting Goods Going Out of Business!

Later next year. Maybe 2020. Some future announcements from the ever-so socially conscious retailer:

70% Off All (non assault rifle) Merchandise!

Everything Must Go! Including Fixtures!

All Stores Closing!

Good luck to our former employees!

Apologies to our Shareholders!

“This major economic divestment has nothing to do with our February 2018 decision to slap a large segment of our customers in the face and stop selling some of the most popular items on the market.”

Dick’s Sporting Goods, a major U.S. retailer, will immediately halt sales of assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines at all of its stores and ban the sale of all guns to anyone under 21.

The announcement Wednesday comes as students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, return to class for the first time since a troubled teenager killed 17 students and educators with an AR-15 two weeks ago.

“When we saw what the kids were going through and the grief of the parents and the kids who were killed in Parkland, we felt we needed to do something,” Chairman and CEO Ed Stack said on “Good Morning America.”

A strange corporate move at a time when things like school shootings are at a near all-time low.

Rumors that Dick’s will immediately institute a 10% discount for card-carrying members of NAMBLA and the Communist party USA are of yet unsubstantiated.

dream, Everly Brothers, music

So yesterday, in a snarky political posting, I utilized (abused) some Everly Brothers (Boudleaux Bryant) lyrics. One thing as usual led to another, and anyway: here’s the whole song:

Video by meremrah/YouTube/Everly Brothers.

Trivia time!!! The EB edition happens to be the only song to ever hold all Number 1 positions on all charts at the same time, on June 2, 1958! And you know you like it.

You’re welcome. Now, dream away.

Drudge trumpeted the following this morning:

Drudge Report.

980 days before the next Great Quadrennial Black Mass has to be a new record. Is this the beginning of permanent campaigning? The Trump obviously loves it like no politician ever has before. And the people are really big on their slave suggestions elections.

Maybe it makes sense to someone. Not to me.

This is huge (especially for being just under 16 minutes). Please watch Vox Day’s inaugural Voxiversity video:

Vox Day/YouTube.

You can tell it’s effective truth by the way the SJW Stasi attacked it immediately. Ignore the idiotic “warning.” And I hope you’re in an area where this can be viewed easily. (Banned in: Austria, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Czechia, Germany, Estonia, France, United Kingdom, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Croatia, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Martinique, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Poland, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Reunion, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, French Southern Territories, Wallis and Futuna, Mayotte). Hopefully there is a VPN or other workaround for that.

This is an outstanding work of history and philosophy drawing on the reliable past and exploring what it means for our present and for the near future.

Dream of Judicial Overreach

America, DACA, immigration, law, Supreme Court, Trump

Only trouble is, gee whiz

I’m dreamin’ my [country] away…

The DACA Dreamer “kids” stay in administrative limbo; so say the Supremes (not Don Everly):

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the Trump administration’s appeal of a federal judge’s ruling that requires the government to keep the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program going.

Under a lower court order that remains in effect, the Department of Homeland Security must continue to accept renewal applications from the roughly 700,000 young people who are currently enrolled in the program, known as DACA. The administration had intended to shut the program down by March 5, but that deadline is now largely meaningless.

In a brief order, the court said simply, “It is assumed the court of appeals will act expeditiously to decide this case.”

Someone once said that when you assume something, you make an ass out of “u” and me. In this case, it’s you, me, immigration law, the rule of law, separation of powers, and the rest of the America.

Not to worry, the wise Trump proposes to administratively ban bump stocks!

For and Against the NRA

culture, firearms, freedom, NRA

Some companies are standing with the NRA, others are breaking ties. Note: this all has to do with the NRA’s nonexistent role in last week’s school shooting. You remember? The shooting with the ever-changing narratives, heroes who milled about doing nothing, psychotropic meds, all those calls to the police and the FBI, and the coast to coast active drama club?

Anyway, those companies:

In what may be a pivotal moment for American gun law reform, the National Rifle Association has become the object of intense pushback from anti-gun activists and survivors of last week’s mass shooting at a Florida high school that left 17 dead.

All the attention prompted the gun-rights group to break from its usual strategy of keeping quiet after mass gun deaths. NRA officials have gone on the attack to rail against the “politicization” of a tragedy, and going so far as to suggest that members of the media “love mass shootings” because of the ratings they supposedly bring.

The uproar has once again presented companies affiliated with the NRA, and its powerful pro-gun lobby, with a question: to cut ties, or to continue a relationship with a large but controversial group?

The NRA partners with dozens of businesses to spread its pro-gun message and provide discounts to its members, who number 5 million, according to the group. But this week, some companies have begun to jump ship.

Read the lists – the names keep growing both ways. Any boycott is, of course, a matter of corporate right. It’s still a nominally free country-shaped place. And it’s good to know who irrationally dumps on the largest sporting organization in the country and its members. A little feel good press and cheap communism never hurt either.

Just remember, by this “logic:”

The next time there’s a plane crash, it’s Delta’s fault;

The next time your network gets hacked, Norton did it;

The next time your car breaks down, TrueCar did it.

*Actual causality need not apply.

Fed Notes Friday

Congress, economy, Federal Reserve

“Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don’t you think?” – L. Frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz.

So, today, a report from the Federal Reserve to Congress, from the brainless to the brain dead.

Federal Reserve policymakers see an economy that may be past full employment, financial market prices that are high and overall growth that continues to gather steam.

Those conditions remain appropriate for further interest rate increases, though inflation pressures remain fairly muted for now, according to a key report to Congress the central bank released Friday.

The monetary policy report provided a wide-ranging view of conditions for new Chairman Jerome Powell, who took the Fed’s reins earlier this month. Powell will present the report along with remarks during congressional testimony Tuesday.

“The FOMC expects that, with further gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy, economic activity will expand at a moderate pace and labor market conditions will remain strong,” the report said, echoing language from prior Federal Open Market Committee meetings.

Translation: We still have absolutely no idea what we’re doing but things seem well regardless.

I sincerely hope this Friday afternoon finds you well.

The Boys: Cultural Questions and Answers

22 Thursday Feb 2018

America, culture, decline, Fred Reed, men, society, war on boys

Two good stories today about the decaying culture.

The first, a very good Times piece by Michael Ian Black, a little confused on the effects of feminism, asks for help:

I believe in boys. I believe in my son. Sometimes, though, I see him, 16 years old, swallowing his frustration, burying his worry, stomping up the stairs without telling us what’s wrong, and I want to show him what it looks like to be vulnerable and open but I can’t. Because I was a boy once, too.

There has to be a way to expand what it means to be a man without losing our masculinity. I don’t know how we open ourselves to the rich complexity of our manhood. I think we would benefit from the same conversations girls and women have been having for these past 50 years.

I would like men to use feminism as an inspiration, in the same way that feminists used the civil rights movement as theirs. I’m not advocating a quick fix. There isn’t one. But we have to start the conversation. Boys are broken, and I want to help.

In the second Fred Reed delivers the answers, uncomfortable but incontrovertible; as he notes, “The causes can be argued, but the fact cannot.”

I think feminism plays a large part in the collapse of society in general and specifically in pushing boys over the edge. In my school years boys were allowed to be boys. Neither sex was denigrated. Doing so would have occurred to nobody. Then came a prejudice against boys, powerful today

All of this affected society in its entirety, but especially white boys. They are constantly told that being white is shameful, that any masculine interest is pathological, that they are rapists in waiting. They are subjected to torturous boredom and inactivity, and drugged when they respond poorly. They go to schools that do not like them and that stack the deck against them. Many are fatherless. All have access to psychoactive drugs.

Add it up.

Unintended consequences? Or part of the plan? Either way…
