Well six Dr. Seuss books are now verboten on Amazon as are other books and the Clarence Thomas documentary pulled in time for black history month. I think this is an outrageous offense against free speech and expression but Amazon wants to display it’s virtue so they shall not be denied.

However there are some lines they will apparently not cross when it comes to banning books, to wit:

In fact at Amazon you’ve got multiple choices if you want to read what old Chaplin mouth wants to say

Now of course I’m a free speech guy so I don’t have a problem if they want to sell this book or any other. In fact I think they should all be available, but we are now playing under the Amazon rules concerning things that they consider “offensive” so by their own standard some Dr. Seuss books are so “offensive” and “racist” they they will not be carried.

But apparently this rule doesn’t apply to Adolph.

Unexpectedly of course

For some reason this thought came to me at work last night

I’d bet real money that if you got in a time machine and traveled back to 1902 and told suffragette in the US and England that a century after women getting the vote you would see the following supported largely by the votes of women:

Gay Marriage
Transgenderism
Abortion

along with out of wedlock births becoming the norm and the nuclear family on it’s last legs and a large rejection of Christianity by the population I suspect they would have called you an alarmist.

And if they said those same folk would not be willing to define “woman” they would have laughed out loud at you.

I like Kurt Schlichter. He’s a fun guy to be with a great writer and one of the worst things about missing CPAC is not seeing him.

But I have to disagree with the premise of his latest piece titled: This Administration Is Already a Failure: A sample:

 Biden has managed to disappoint the Left, he was always going to disappoint the Right, and he probably disappointed his wife when he failed to call her doctor as she handed him his morning mush bowl.

Like everything Kurt writes it a great read and you should check it out but his argument is based on an incorrect presumption.

If you work under the assumption that the Biden Administration (Reminder we don’t say “Joe Biden” because he’s no more in charge these days than I am) had a goal to produce a prosperous America while rewarding Americans that voted for him by that standard this Administration is an abject failure.

But that’s not the goal of this administration or the reason why so many people worked so hard to steal this election and/or cover up its theft.

The actual goal for said people is to ensure that the members of the elite DC swamp and their friends and family were restored to the government / special interest gravy train ensuring them a comfortable life full of wealth & status at the taxpayer expense that was interrupted by four years of the Trump Administration

Under that standard not only has this administration been a smashing success but I suspect you will see many more successes along those lines over the next 47 months.

Unexpectedly of course
