Christian fantasy literature, and commentary on assorted subjects
Both this video and Citizen Kane show scenes of subway cars full of people with owls. But then I haven’t seen Citizen Kane in a long time and I might be confusing it with some other classic film.
All the other animals in this video have fur instead of feathers.

As a reporter, I used to cover a township in which the Republican Party, for all practical purposes, did not exist. But it didn’t matter. The township’s Democrats had split into two rival factions that made anything that went on before it look like a love-in.
It’s possible we may see that, in the not too distant future, on the national scene.
On one hand you’ve got the Far Left Crazy crowd, spawned by that old serpent, Bernie Sanders–out-and-out socialist. Indeed, the long psychotic episode that is liberalism has brought this crowd into an embrace of preposterous and suicidal policies–“open borders” and “transgender,” to name just two. Knowing no civics at all, they think their capture of a majority (not a very big majority) in the House of Representatives will empower them to do all sorts of things–erase the borders, repeal the tax cuts, bring back Obamacare in all its glory, impeach the president, vice president, and anybody else who gets in their way–which the Republican Senate can effortlessly stop them from doing.
Unable to get their way, their frustration will reach the point where it must erupt. And before it blows, they’re going to aim it at somebody.
On the other hand you’ve got the older, Nancy Pelosi, Mask of Sanity Democrats, wedded to the slow, incremental transformation of America into a socialist hellhole. Don’t laugh–incrementalism has gotten them very far. They’ve learned that the best way to go about their business is to painstakingly bamboozle the American people. And in the meantime, the legislation they can’t pass… wait for some Democrat judge to rule it into “law.”
The problem with this is, it takes time: and meanwhile, Donald Trump is appointing federal judges and the Senate is confirming them. This drives the younger rats crazy. They burn to attack with teeth and claws–but the Mask of Sanity faction is in their way.
Look for the thing to blow sky-high in 2020, when the Far Left Crazy has some Open Borders wacko to nominate for president–with a transgender running mate–and the Mask of Sanity cabal sinks him or her or xer with some dirty tricks so they can run Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, or some other living fossil.
Gonna be some major fun when that happens!

One way to enslave people is to shackle them with guilt–guilt for this, guilt for that, blame people living today for slavery that ended 150 years ago, or 300 years ago, whatever. Mark Rushdoony calls it “An Old Strategy.”
https://chalcedon.edu/blog/an-old-strategy
The important thing to remember, Mark points out, is that “manipulation by guilt… is anti-Christian to the core.” Why? Because Jesus Christ is our salvation. Because Jesus Christ removes our guilt. He has already atoned for our sins. We do not have to obey The Party or Dear Leader to pay for what we’ve done. Christ sets us at liberty; the sentence has been lifted.
P.S.–Now I’ve got to re-read R.J. Rushdoony’s The Politics of Guilt and Pity, published in 1970–but reads like he’d written it today. Well, you can say that about a lot of his work, can’t you?
Finally today I got out for a mini-walk. Not much, but a start.
Yesterday when I went to the drugstore, I noticed how really weak my legs had become. That is not good, especially when you are older.
Tomorrow’s walk will be longer, and I can build on it daily, if the weather prevails.
Did more work on the tax stuff and did other things that had to be done.
We are still plagued here in New Jersey by very low temperatures at night. In fact my large bottles of water in the foyer are getting a ” I might be thinking of freezing” look about them. We have been getting bottled water for 15 years and that has never happened before. I did hear a guy on line the other day say that this is caused by (can you guess?) global warming. These hard winters and other weird weather events have happened before and they will happen again. I will say that 2025 was an awful year in many ways, weather included, and I certainly hope that 2026 will be better.
We can always hope.
And pray.
God bless everybody

Consider the sad case of Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who became the head of the Spokane NAACP and a regular customer at the racial harassment shop, even going so far as to send hate mail to herself–all of it accomplished by telling people she was black ( http://www.seattlepi.com/local/komo/article/http-www-komonews-com-news-local-Spokane-NAACP-l-6327936.php ). Only now she has to resign her post because her mother and father have provided undeniable proof that their daughter is, in fact, white–and always has been.
Please, someone explain to me how Bruce Jenner really, honest, is a “woman” but poor Rachel is not some unfortunate black woman trapped in a white woman’s body, yatta-yatta. Which statement is a lie, and which is a delusion? Or are they both lies, or both delusions?
Once upon a time they used to lock you up if you insisted you were Napoleon Bonaparte, the Archangel Gabriel, or (to use C.S. Lewis’ example) a poached egg.
But now it’s different. Now everybody else has to join hands and dance around your delusion, singing “Hail, Napoleon!”
What would have happened if Rachel had stuck to her guns and insisted she really is black, she can’t help it if Fate unjustly sentenced her to life imprisonment in this crummy Caucasian body? Would anybody have the nerve to tell her to get lost? Or would she wind up with Bruce Jenner, winning a Medal of Freedom? (And boy, have they debased that award!)
What if she’d remained at her post and threatened to sue the NAACP if they fired her because she’s white? Wouldn’t she have them for racial discrimination?
But let’s make it easy for ourselves. Let’s get down to brass tacks. Anyone who goes along with this blatant nonsense, be it trans-gender, trans-racial, or trans-whatsoever, is completely without even a shred of integrity, and should be recognized as such. In these cases, the enablers in politics, the nooze media, and the schools are much more despicable than the poor lost souls who make war against their own bodies.
Meanwhile, I am a billionaire trapped in a poor man’s body, and I demand my rights!

I wasn’t going to use this, but when I saw the bunny running around with his own stuffed bunny toy, I couldn’t resist. These little beggars have a lot of personality. PS–I disavow all responsibility for the background music.
