Iâve observed, and many studies have shown, that conservatives are happier than the leftists that we used to call âliberals.â Conservatives are more generous, more married, more religious, more fit, more humorous and more optimistic.
Unsurprisingly for a group with such traits, they have more and closer friends. They clearly love their country more. They work harder, they play harder, and theyâre more likely to see meaning in life.
I donât think conservatives are that way because theyâre conservative. Thatâs a big load to put on a political outlook. No, I think theyâre conservative because conservativism attracts people who possess those qualities.

In the theater of the absurd that passes for wokery, they ban words and phrases that purportedly trigger unpleasant emotions in the audience. These include:
âMumbo jumboâ because itâs a corruption of the name of the African god Maamajomboo. Who knew?
âThe most qualified person should get the jobâ because it triggers feelings of inferiority in persons who are not the most qualified.
âPeanut galleryâ because it triggers memories of the old days when black people sat there and ate peanuts. Donât use that phrase, especially around a black person because the painful memories may reduce him (er, I mean them â see below) to tears.
âCannibalâ because it triggers the Carib tribe

Once-beautiful Denver succumbed to vagrant enablement a few years ago. It was a pathetic attempt not to be outdone by Seattle and Portland â which have long sought not to be outdone by San Francisco. To be a great city, the thinking apparently goes, you have to be a filthy one.
And so filthy vagrants overran downtown Denver and hip âLoDoâ where they now camp on the sidewalks, poop in the gutters, shoot-up in the streets and assault passersby.
The city is finally sweeping them, a little, in anticipation of its hosting of the baseball All-Star Game next month. Aware that the town will be on national TV, so far this year

Yesterday, Joe Biden held one of his so-called press conferences. With the aid of 3 x 5 cards, he speaks, sort of, in response to pre-approved questions from pre-approved reporters.
In reply to their softball questions, he leaned into the microphone and whispered Freddy Krueger-like, all pasty white, wrinkled and weird, that âconsequentialâ money would be flowing to people who vote for Democrats.
The bizarre scene dubbed âCreepy Joeâ immediately trended on Twitter. âDoctorâ Jill must have 911 on one speed dial number and the guys with butterfly nets on another.
The reason for Bidenâs creepy breathlessness was that he and bipartisan senate negotiators had reached a one trillion-dollar âinfrastructureâ deal.

Now that racism has been outlawed in business, and racists have been driven from the public square, you donât witness much racism in America. Being racist is a bad move socially and career-wise. Thatâs good.
But black achievement in America still lags badly behind white, Asian and Hispanic achievement. The black illegitimacy rate is triple the white rate and the black murder rate is 7x the white rate. Both figures are worse than before affirmative action, worse than before the Great Society programs of the 60s and 70s, and even worse than the days of Jim Crow laws.

Part of the Confederacy is seceding. Buckhead is trying to secede from Atlanta.
For you Yanquis, be aware that Buckhead is a rich Atlanta neighborhood which pays a ton of property tax to Atlanta. Which is to say they are a bastion of white privilege that deserves punishment. And so, itâs punishment that they are getting.
You see, Atlanta is very woke. That means the police are handcuffed in their efforts to control crime. And that means crime rates in Buckhead are skyrocketing. And that means people who are not criminals â people like the residents of Buckhead â are disappointed and often endangered. Itâs not about slavery. Itâs about crime.

A fawning âreportâ in the Aspen Daily News breathlessly announced more federal COVID funds for Glitter Gulch, otherwise known as Aspen, Colorado. To be exact, $538,073.
You know the place. Where the house pictured above just sold for $72 million, and houses routinely go for $3-5,000/sq ft. Where insiders such as newspaper reporters and city council members get slope-side multimillion dollar homes for dimes on the dollars under the taxpayer-subsidized housing program.
The fed money this time is for Aspenâs vagrants.

A recent Gallup poll showed that most Americans think itâs time to move on from the pandemic. But not the Democrats.
Democrats say by a 71-29% margin that we still should not âlive normal livesâ, but instead should âtry to stay at home.â Thatâs despite the fact that the COVID death rate in America is down nearly 90%, the new cases are down about 65%, over half of Americans have been vaccinated (and over 80% of the vulnerable ones) by vaccines shown to be 95% effective, and even the redoubtable (or perhaps doubtable) Dr. Fauci says we can go out now.
So what gives?

Millions of sub-Saharan blacks seek to immigrate to America. They apparently havenât gotten the memo that this is a wretched land of systemic anti-black racism.
When they get here, theyâre strangers in a strange land. English is usually not their first language. Their skin color tends to be very black, not the lighter color of American blacks who have an average of about 25% white blood in them.
Despite those handicaps, they do better than American-born blacks. Compared to American-born blacks, their income is about a third higher, their poverty rates are significantly lower, their educational achievement is higher, and their marriage rate is double.

About a year ago, a cop arrested, handcuffed and foolishly killedftnt a violent career criminal, drug addict, thief, robber and ex-con named George Floyd who was high on fentanyl and methamphetamine.
Last week on the anniversary of Floydâs death, the left marked the day. Not with mournful candlelight vigils as civilized people might, but by celebrating in the usual Third World way by shooting guns into the air, into windows and into other people.
The left lives for these tragedies. It gives them an excuse to go out rioting, and they did.

â. . . leftists are morally disordered people . . . . perhaps the best way to prepare yourself for contending with them is to pretend youâre dealing with Satan.â
â Selwyn Duke
âPretendâ?
Satan may not be much more to you than a medieval caricature, looming large only in the minds of 17th century Puritans. The European Enlightenment, after all, disinfected such bogeymen with the light of Reason.
But one is tempted to ask, to what end? As Goethe wryly observed in Faust, thanks to The Enlightenment âThe Evil One is gone, the evil ones remain.â
Who is this dude Satan?

Early in the pandemic, Dr. Fauci said, âthereâs no reason to be walking around wearing a mask.â He said masks might cause more harm than good.
In the kind of pirouette for which heâs now famous, Fauci later told us all to wear masks indoors and out. Fauci himself starting wearing two at a time. (Why not three?) His baffled boss, Joe Biden, wears them for Zoom calls â even though heâs been fully vaccinated.
As it turned out, Fauci lied about his reason for initially telling us not to wear masks. The real reason was that he wanted to save them for doctors such as himself.
Comments:
Hmm. What about "hair trigger"?
