I’d say that the heart of Jordan B. Peterson’s latest Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life is “Rule XI: Do Not Allow Yourself to Become Resentful, Deceitful, or Arrogant.” It contains the Sleeping Beauty story that you can read at Quillette. Sleeping Beauty, sleepwalking through college, is being pursued by the Evil Queen, her stepmother, who calls her up three times a day to tear a strip off her. What is the point? The point is, according to Peterson, that there are six archetypes -- as in Jung -- that are going to define your life: “a hero and...

The contrast couldn't be more stark: The difference between Jen Psaki and Kayleigh McEnany reveals a great deal about the respective presidents who hired them. Jen Psaki is unaware of Joe Biden’s positions on a large number of issues, but then so is he. She often answers reporters by saying that she'll have to ‘circle back’ to that. By now, she must be quite dizzy. In contrast, Kayleigh McEnany upheld the position with aplomb. She appeared at each press conference with high energy. She walked with purpose, stepped on the podium, opened her notebook, and was ready for action. Dazed...

Progressive forces have insinuated themselves into regulatory agencies, the finance industry, and corporate America, jeopardizing capital markets and the free-market system itself. Traditional American values have long been under attack by social justice warriors, cultural Marxists advancing the insidious tenets of critical theory. Their “long march through the institutions” has infiltrated schools, universities, entertainment, the mass media, the courts, politics, and beyond. One might assume that business, adhering to the Milton Friedman doctrine of maximizing returns for shareholders, would be insulated from their malign agenda. But that assumption is no longer valid, according to Stephen Soukup’s recent book The Dictatorship...

The left continually claims that the rich are the key agents for undermining the progress of society. But it's not true at all. This writer knows a leftwing corporate lawyer who sees our society as top-heavy with a rich, exploitative class drinking glasses of champagne while there are millions of starving children in America, millions of homeless in the streets, degradation and hopelessness everywhere based on economic deprivation as well as racist, sexist, and moral rigidity.... To him, there are too many Marie Antoinette types laughing in their palaces saying to the miserable masses, "Let them eat cake...." In his...

At the independent, fundamentalist Baptist church I grew up attending in the 1980s, legalism was a staple, and the ‘rules’ were seemingly endless. Skirts (or something called ‘culottes’) for women and girls, long pants only for men and boys, and dresses and ties on Sunday morning. Good Christians didn’t dance or go to Hollywood movies. They didn’t smoke, cuss, or drink or hang around with those who did. Music wasn’t allowed unless it was Christian, and regardless of the lyrics, it wasn’t ‘Christian’ if it had drums, an upbeat tempo, or was written after 1895 (or thereabouts). And the “thou...

That Mumford & Sons banjo guy is a pathetic weenie who the left hates and who we despise, and who now has to live forever as a groveling coward nobody likes. Yeah, he was in Mumford & Sons and managed to find a way to make people like him less. What did he do? He gave in. He submitted. He begged for forgiveness instead of telling the fussy rage mobs to kiss his smilin’ Schumer.Really people, this is getting exhausting. How many times do we have to say it? How many people have to plead for forgiveness and end up...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://heavy.com/news/marvin-hagler-cause-of-death-controversy-tommy-hearns-blasts-covid-19-vaccine-claim/ Did Marvin Hagler die of Coronavirus vaccine? Thomas Hearns said his friend Hagler was in the hospital due to reaction to a vaccine. Just remember that a vaccine death is worth one tenth of that of a Coronavirus death. Those that die from the Coronavirus vaccine will be hidden from history. Nobody wants anything to do with that particular type of victim. - It’s almost the one year anniversary of “two weeks to flatten the curve”. Remember it’s been said that there is nothing more permanent than a temporary government program.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi speaks during a news conference about the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package on Capitol Hill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday acknowledged the crisis surrounding the surge of children crossing the southern border — but blamed it on the Biden administration inheriting a “broken system” from former President Donald Trump. “The facts are these: there are more children. About 600, 700 more children, unaccompanied children, coming over the border. This is a humanitarian challenge to all of us,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on ABC News’ “This Week.” “What the administration has inherited is a broken...

On the day after the inauguration (January 21st) JoeBama signed an Executive order on COVID worker Safety, weaponizing the Dept of Labor, OSHA. Literally word-for-word what CTH predicted the previous summer. [Predictions HERE and HERE] Included in that executive order was a deadline of March 15, 2021, for OSHA to determine if a national mandate for workers would be required. That deadline is tomorrow.The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency that rules over every single business entity in the U.S with employees. If OSHA determines masks are needed, then every operation that falls under the OSHA...

The transformation from phony "objectivity" to open one-party orthodoxy hasn't been an improvement I collect Soviet newspapers. Years ago, I used to travel to Moscow’s Izmailovsky flea market every few weeks, hooking up with a dealer who crisscrossed the country digging up front pages from the Cold War era. I have Izvestia’s celebration of Gagarin’s flight, a Pravda account of a 1938 show trial, even an ancient copy of Ogonyek with Trotsky on the cover that someone must have taken a risk to keep. These relics, with dramatic block fonts and red highlights, are cool pieces of history. Not so...

A Georgetown law professor has resigned after being placed on administrative leave over a Zoom conversation with a now-fired professor whom the school described as racist. David Batson participated in the call — which was recorded and posted on social media by a student — with former-Georgetown professor Sandra Sellers.

At least 15 people were shot, two of them fatally, inside a “pop-up party” early Sunday at a business that operates as a tow company and apparent event space on the South Side, Chicago police Superintendent David Brown said. Investigators believe the 4:40 a.m. shooting was “gang-related,” according to a Chicago police report citing preliminary information. Officers and firefighters responded to a business at 6798 S. South Chicago Ave. in the Park Manor neighborhood, according to police and fire officials. The report says a woman who was shot three times, including once in the head, was found dead outside the...

A British farmer produces the world's most expensive milk - from horses and costing £13 a pint. Frank Shellard runs the only farm in Britain to commercially produce the alternative dairy product. He says he got the idea to cure his daughter's eczema. Frank's family business Combe Hay Mare’s Milk has fourteen mares producing 12-14 litres a day to make milk, hand cream and lotion. Frank says his mare’s milk is far sweeter, with a much lower fat content than cow milk - and says its drunk by over 30 million people around the world. Frank, 62, got the idea...

In my view Japan – without...

SNIP Speaking during an unrelated press briefing Sunday in Midtown Manhattan, Gillibrand said she decided to finally come out against Cuomo because she felt it was important that New York be led by someone able to give the pandemic their undivided attention. “Every situation is different,” said Gillibrand, asked how the allegations against Cuomo compared to the accusations against Franken, who ultimately did resign after multiple women accused him of inappropriate physical contact. SNIP “Because of the multiple, credible sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, it’s clear that Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners as well as...

The pandemic isn’t stopping family and friends from celebrating a Palmer Twp. man’s milestone birthday. “It’s unbelievable!” Charlie Volpe exclaimed. On Sunday, a parade of cars donned with balloons and signs drove by to surprise Volpe. The World War II veteran is celebrating a milestone: his 100th birthday. “I’ve had a lot of surprises but not like this! This is really fantastic,” Volpe said. Volpe insists there’s one key to living a long and fulfilling life: “My family and my grandchildren. I always told them that Pop is going to live for a long time for you guys,” he said....
