  • The Phoenix and the Cyclic Nature of Traditional Time

    The Neo-Ciceronian Times ^ | June 3, 2022 | Theophilus Chilton
    I’ve always been fascinated by the imagery of the phoenix as it is found in various ancient mythologies. Though most typically associated with Greek mythology, the phoenix, under various names, could be found in mythological systems ranging from the Egyptian to the Chinese to the Arabian to the Armenian and beyond. The phoenix represents an older, Traditional way of looking at time, and therefore the world around us. This more Traditional view of time, as expressed across many different cultures for thousands of years, also found expression in conceptually related mythologies such as that of the ouroborus, the self-devouring worm...
  • On the Folly of ‘Preferred Pronouns’

    American Greatness ^ | 2 Jun, 2022 | Michael Robillard
    You are welcome to your own proper name. But you’re not welcome to your own pronouns, nor to your own language, nor to the objective reality that lies beneath. For some time now I have heard members of both the political Left and Right continually draw a false analogy between pronouns and proper names. The line of reasoning usually goes something like this: Ellen announces that she now wants to go by the proper name “Elliot.” Given this new knowledge, it would therefore count as disrespectful or perhaps even harmful for me to knowingly and intentionally keep referring to her...

    Classified information was leaked to the media by several Obama intelligence officials. But no one will be punished. Barack Obama’s crusade to destroy Lt. General Michael Flynn began months before Election Day in 2016. Flynn resigned as Obama’s Defense Intelligence Agency director in 2014 amid clashes with his boss at the time, James Clapper, over the administration’s approach to the war on terror. In early 2016, Flynn, who had become an outspoken critic of Obama’s foreign policy, joined the Trump presidential campaign; a few months later, Obama’s FBI opened a counterintelligence probe into Flynn and three other campaign associates. After...
  • Biden's Most Preposterous Lie Is Too Much Even For The Washington Post

    When President Biden talks, there may or may not be any connection between what he says and the real world. Yes, you need to give every politician some leeway, since most of what any politician says will fall in the general realm of political exaggeration or hyperbole. But even within the disreputable category of politicians, Biden can take the lack of connection with reality to a whole new level. You may have your own favorite among Biden’s preposterous statements. For me, the very most preposterous is one that he has been making repeatedly for the past several months, namely that...

  • The Debate Over Canceling Student Loan Debt

    06/03/2022 4:06:19 AM PDT · by karpov · 25 replies
    From the earliest days of his administration, President Biden has been under pressure from activist groups and many fellow Democrats to take action to relieve students of their college loan debts. For example, a coalition of 105 organizations urged him to unilaterally cancel most or all of the more than $1.6 trillion that students owe. Doing so, they claim, would enable borrowers to start generating wealth, saving for retirement, and beginning families. Can the president simply declare that debts owed to the government under these loan contracts are forgiven? If so, will it have the beneficial consequences envisioned by advocates?...
  • Donald Trump endorses Tim Michels for Wisconsin governor, inserting himself into competitive GOP primary

    Wealthy construction executive Tim Michels on Thursday landed the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, giving the newest candidate in the Republican primary for governor an edge he needs to compete in a four-way primary that includes the state's well-known former lieutenant governor. With his endorsement of Michels, Trump inserts himself into the competitive primary with two months to go before Republican voters head to the polls and just after his preferred candidate lost in another battleground state, Georgia. "Wisconsin needs a Governor who will Stop Inflation, Uphold the Rule of Law, strengthen our Borders (we had the strongest borders...

    I always thought the month of June was set aside for June Brides, But the whole month has been usurped by the LGTQ etc. community. This is one cultural appropriation that is ignored. And now we have the USMC out with a new symbol to “honor” a particular community. Sorry, but this USMC symbol doesn’t cut it for me. The Marine hymn which begins “From the Halls of Montezuma, To the shores of Tripoli” professes the strength of the Corps and willingness to fight as in the Barbary Wars, where the scimitar was a decapitating tool. Did Gays and Lesbians...

    This time, it grovels for the sin of having had Texas Governor Greg Abbott wave a green flag at the All-Star Race. I have no gay pride. I don’t have gay hatred either. I simply don’t care very much. It’s enough for me that our laws give people equal protection and most Americans no longer consider homosexuality a sin. And that’s probably enough for most people. And I bet most people, like me, dislike the annual barrage of mandatory love for the LGBTQ+++ crowd and especially dislike the industry that’s sprung up around confusing kids about their biological and then...

    Once we have eliminated all the impossible scenarios, the least improbable outcome of the war in Ukraine is a Russian victory. Any conceivable Russian victory now will entail such a loss of blood and treasure that it will have to be judged Pyrrhic at best. But it will be a victory nonetheless — and we in the West had better come to grips with that hard truth. Let’s begin by eliminating the impossible. The first unrealistic endgame is the reduction of Ukraine to a vassal state of the Russian empire. The second impossible scenario is the total defeat of the...

  • The View' hosts call for getting 'rid of Republicans:' They're the 'party of White Supremacy,' 'massacres'

    Hosts of ABC's "The View" called for getting "rid of the Republican Party" to pass gun control on Thursday, saying that they were the "party of White Supremacy" and "massacres." "I always say don't vote for Republicans," co-host Joy Behar said. "Right now, I mean you can go back to it after you have gun laws." Behar said Republicans would be voted out if they vote for gun control laws in Congress because that's not what their constituents want. "In 1994, the assault weapons ban went into effect and many of the Republicans who voted for it lost their jobs,"...

    With new information from testimony in the Sussmann trial and the demise of the Russian Collusion narrative, it’s time for a new look at the untimely death of Seth Rich. Who is Seth Rich, and why was he murdered? Many media outlets ignored this unsolved murder in D.C. in July 2016. Those who wrote about this suspicious death were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. Jack Cashill wrote the best summary of Rich’s murder: Unknown assailants gun down the young DNC data analyst at 4 A.M. on a Washington, D.C., street and take nothing. Two weeks later, international man of mystery Julian...

    OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada will probably have to raise its policy rate to the top of its neutral range, double its current level, and could go higher, to prevent soaring inflation from becoming entrenched, a deputy governor said on Thursday. Paul Beaudry, speaking to a business audience in the Ottawa area, said the central bank was considering the pace at which it moves to neutral, the 2%-3% range where interest rates neither stimulate nor weigh on growth, along with how high rates may go.

    Wary Pacific nations are resisting ‘good brother’ China’s offer to expand its scope Round one does not go to China. It failed to convince a group of Pacific island nations to sign an agreement to keep receiving security and economic cooperation from itself. They could not shed their suspicions that China was attempting to show off its ‘partners’ in the South Pacific to square off with the QUAD’s growing presence in the Indo-Pacific. Some nations were opposed to the Chinese offer, titled ‘China-Pacific Island Countries Common Development Vision’. What raised eyebrows were the Chinese proposals to train local police, help...

    School officials believe a threat posted on social media against a Montgomery County high school was actually part of an elaborate plan to bully another student. The threat against Winston Churchill High School was posted on social media Tuesday. Montgomery County Police (MCP) Detectives investigated the threat and found there was "no immediate credible threat" to the school. Principal John Taylor now says the posted threat was part of a plan to bully the student who owns the account that was used to make the threats. Taylor claims the bullied student had no involvement in posting the threats. "That student...
