It’s beyond any reasonable dispute that the slack-jawed old pervert staggering through this punchline presidency is getting more senile by the day. All the while, his cackling understudy is biding her time everywhere but at the border, getting huffy at being questioned, and generally failing at a job historically assigned to morons as a role where they could do little damage. The only people who dig their hep jive – yeah, go on and believe the 79% approval numbers among people now paying $5 a gallon for unleaded – are the talking tubers of cable news. But even the tater thots of Brian Stelter, who is a potato, can’t dispel the growing sense of unease that watching these incompetent weirdos brings.
This epoch is the interregnum, a caretaker presidency presided over by a human asterisk who cares only about his post-lid bowl of mush and being wrapped in a shawl, set in front of the tee-vee, and allowed to watch his stories. The only thing moving less expeditiously than his bowels is his ridiculous legislative agenda, and all the prunes in the world aren’t going to help clear out that particular constipation, not with Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema refusing to commit ritual political suicide on the altar of coastal leftist dreams.
The progs were so close, just a vote or two away, to the unrestrained power they thought they could flex and thereby secure their control forever. But * is no Franklin Roosevelt. Nor is he Teddy Roosevelt. Nor Eleanor Roosevelt, though he could be if he really, really wanted to be. He’s not even Melvin Roosevelt. Instead, Grandpa Badfinger is a rickety joke, bumping elbows with his younger fellow-incompetents at the G7, wandering about mindlessly chasing moths until his ridiculous wife, with her ridiculous “Dr.”, wrangles him back into the hapless pack. You look at this sorry set of leaders of the formerly-free world and the vibe you get is “exhaustion.” There’s no energy, no drive, no hope. Boris Johnson, formerly a man, explained to a bored UK that that “nations coming out of the pandemic need to ‘build back better’ in a ‘greener,’ ‘more gender neutral and perhaps a more feminine way.’” Hack clichés are their solution, but these relics have nothing else. They are weak and stupid and they represent a spent elite that cares about nothing except just a little more time holding fast to their uncertain sinecures.
You can feel the tension beneath the surface, the sense that something is coming, a great changing. Oh, the elite at Davos fantasizes about a “Great Reset,” but they mean it literally – they want to reset the world back to how it was set when they were young and had energy and people hadn’t yet noticed that their venality and incompetence was matched only by their insanely inflated sense of their own abilities. But why would they be any better at pulling that off than they are at anything else? When the shattering disruption comes, they are the ones who will be disrupted, they and the whole post-War establishment our betters thought would last a thousand years and that won’t make it past 80. The elite aren’t, not even close, and we all know it now and we all sense that their Jenga tower o’ power can’t keep from toppling over even as they pull more and more blocks out of it, shredding norms (just this once – it’s always “just this once”) to keep their grip.
But what comes next? Something big, but the question is “What?” The only thing for certain is that the people running things now won’t like it. It’s been said here many times that Donald Trump was not our last chance, but theirs, our final fair warning to our failed elite from back when, at some level, we still thought the ruling caste acknowledged that we normals had at least some theoretical right to participate in our own government. But such illusions, to the extent they had endured, got shattered last November. We heard for four years how the 2016 election had been hacked, stolen, whatever the hyperbole du jour was, and the minute they could proclaim His Asteriskness president questioning elections became treason. But we saw the cheating, and we saw the judicial and executive sleight-of-hand that changed the rules in ways a real Supreme Court would have objected to, and we saw the informal rigging of the election through the lies and covering-up of the professional, licensed, and registered janitors of narrative journalism.
Now it’s all about holding onto power no matter what the cost. The corrupt feds toss trespassers into solitary while letting Antifa/BLM scumbags walk. Their tech buddies desperately try to play whack-a-mole with the unapproved ideas that keep popping up. The garbage media celebrates noted onanists while it ignores the Snortunate Son’s latest entry on his CV of shame – he’s added racial epithets to his remarkable and remarkably unremarked-upon record of tapping the tills of Slavic oligarchs, tapping rando strippers, and re-imagining the classic 80s novel of coke-fueled excess as Bright Lights, Big Guy (who gets his 10%).
It can’t last. Maybe if these puffy clowns were pros they could keep their boots on our throats forever, but they don’t own boots – too cis – and their Guccis and Birkenstocks just don’t have the same heft. They are weak, and stupid, and they are not even cunning enough to ensure that the cops and military, who would be expected to provide their final protective fire when accountability comes to overrun them, are prepared to do their dirty work. They need a savage Praetorian Guard – who doubts they would turn the razor-sharp gladii of their legionnaires on the people if that’s what it took to keep power? – but instead they’ve driven the best LEOs out via defunding and persecution and they’ve turned the Army into a camo-clad Ivy League faculty lounge that, over the last couple decades, has won precisely the same number of military victories as an Ivy League faculty lounge.
You can see the signs and hear rumblings out there. You can feel the growing anger. We are flocking to Ron DeSantis and others who pick and poke at the status quo, while rejecting the Nikki!s and Asa!s and Kristi!s who still take the Chamber of Commerce’s calls. Change is coming, not just here but throughout the West. The smart set refused to see the signs or hear the rumblings. Part of the fun will be seeing the surprise on their smug, perpetually-masked faces.
And now the elite has reached peak zombie with President * literally stumbling through his tenure as the tongue-bath media not only praises the Emperor’s new clothes (and literally praises Dr. Empress’s tacky duds) but marvels at his ability to feed himself. Look for a 99% approval rating to come down the pike even as we’re told that the biggest threat to Our Democracy is those wicked insurrectionists and their insurrectiony ideas about normal people having a say in their own governance.
Tick tock.
It’s not clear what’s going to happen, but this mess is unsustainable and what happens next may get ugly. They aren’t just going to shrug and give up power any more than we’ll shrug and submit to the serfdom they have planned for us. So, enjoy this coma before the storm, because the storm is coming.
I also very much enjoy his writing. I’ve seen him on talking head programs a few times, and don’t think his presence there quite matches his written output in the way that Mark Steyn seems (to me) to have comparable skills in both print and visual media.
Yeah scary
The airports will be shutdown. There will be NO escape for the likes of Joe Scarborough, Maddow and Tapper. There day is coming. It’s going to be glorious.
Overlooked in all the hype is charisma
Trump has charisma.
Biden is left over mashed potatoes with no butter or gravy or even salt and pepper.
Republican governors have begun to fight, to injure, maim and draw blood from our tyrannical progressive domestic enemies.
The governor with the most charisma will be the next President
And what’s more........ the city states are crumbling within
The Gods of the Copybook Headings are putting the saddles on.
Their time to ride will soon be upon us.
My personnel bet is that an economic crash will come, and the people will start to uprise just as they did in the USSR. But those people had no weapons and had to talk the military into stepping back.
What will happen here is beyond anyone’s ken.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
So, enjoy this coma before the storm, because the storm is coming.
Was thinking pretty much this on the evening of Dec. 31st 2020 at about 11:59:59pm
I know... this should be a loud leading issue! We citizens should be marching (peacefully) on D.C. by the tens of thousands demanding their Constitutional legal rights.
This is just the autocracy's initial salvo. When they see that we don't care about the regular order they will expand their oppression.
We?
The only way I'm arriving at any camp is with several full mags or already dead.
:) It is just a figure of speech... sort of like 'I am drowning!' (glug glug glug)
Obeyme’s “civilian army” seems to be a wash.
So do I. This was a very well written article. Good to see someone not afraid to call biden the useless fixture he actually is. I kept expecting to see him write that if biden had an IQ 3 points higher he would qualify as a door stop. Same forharris actually, and that’s probably giving her too much credit...
Anyway, I enjoyed this read.
But what the hell are we going to do? It’s all looking scary. We’ve seen the highest gun sales in history for nearly a year, ammo is beginning to come back and prices drop, but gas just went up another nickel here, and many items at the grocery store are going up too.
I’ve been stocking up, but I’m not sure I have as much as I should, and prices are going up. Oout here in the boonies Imay last a little longer than many city folk, they are the ones I’m scared for. But how long will it take them to get out here lookign for anyone with food? I have stuff to barter, and a shotgun to hopefully stop thieves, a pistol or 3 after the buckshot runs out, but how long can it last?
We’re going to see it happen. It will be a lot uglier than most people realize too. When people are starving it gets really ugly in a hurry. Nostradamus predicted people resorting to cannabalismm to survive if I remember correctly. Is our current time period what he was looking at?
Scary stuff ahead...and just the fact that this guy felt the need to write this article says a lot...well written or not...
My favorite sentence in this article by Kurt:
We are flocking to Ron DeSantis and others who pick and poke at the status quo, while rejecting the Nikki!s and Asa!s and Kristi!s who still take the Chamber of Commerce’s calls.

I’ve not seen such powerful writing since the passing of Free Republic’s own ‘Firehat’.
I generally like Kurt Schlicter but he’s really on the money on this one. The sea change is happening. Much of it behind the scenes so the non intuitive don’t realize it. The desperate cabal are in their final death throes and they will definitely create havoc on their way out the door. Everyone should be prepared for the storm or the 10 days of darkness some are talking about. Its going to get bumpy before it gets better.

She got about 1% in the primaries. She is very unlikable her approval will never hit 40%
