Quokkas are the cutest animals ever! | Cute animals, Happy animals, Quokka

Well, we couldn’t quite do it by midnight last night–Lee made a mess of it–but a few minutes after midnight, Beverly came along to win the common contest–and we now have over 75,000 comments here!

As you can see from the picture, all of us here on Rottnest Island are celebrating.

G’day! Byron the Quokka here: and the business at hand is to congratulate Beverly and find out which prize she wants–the autographed book or the T-shirt that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost –Lee Duigon.” (Note: We’re out of Vol. 1, Bell Mountain, so don’t ask for that one.) We’ll also need your mailing address, Beverly. You can email that to Lee if you’d rather not put it up here for everyone to see. Not that “everyone” reads this blog… *sigh*

Thank you, one and all, for your comments–going back ten years now–and for sticking with us even as Big Tech tries to cut us off from our audience.

And there’ll be another comment contest–and maybe even other kinds of contests–in the future. So please keep clicking this site!

And no, I am not going to scold anybody to click the Like button. Waddaya think this is–YouTube?

 

My Newswithviews Column, June 24 (‘Mocking the Left’)

They exalt themselves as The Smartest People In The World.

But they’re really idiots.

Mocking the Left

Forget trying to be “winsome.” These people are the servants of evil. If you take away their awesome power to murder millions of victims, all that’s left is pompous, silly, funny stuff. It deserves to be laughed at.

Sit there just listening, and you’ll wind up in a concentration camp.

‘The Most Equal and Inclusive High School in America’ (2016)

They’re always aimed right at pure nihilism, aren’t they?

The Most Equal and Inclusive High School in America

I wrote this as a satire, but now I wonder how long it’ll take Our Betters to strip us of our personal names. And everything else that makes us human.

As the personified wisdom of God says, “All them that hate me love death” (Proverbs 8: 36).

 

‘O, God, Our Help in Ages Past’

Would you believe it? We used to sing this hymn in high school, in assembly, before the Supreme Court decided we needed to be protected from Jesus.

O God, Our Help in Ages Past, written by Isaac Watts in 1719 and still going strong, sung here by the Sharon Mennonite Bible Singers. Background sets by God the Father.

Comment Contest Winner?

Oh, fap. I seem to have won my own comment contest. It seems the comments stopped coming, oh, seven hours ago and we only got up to 74,999. And then Mr. Stupid forgot and added a comment himself.

I disqualify myself from winning the contest.

Forty minutes to midnight. Anybody out there, in one of those time zones where it’s, like, already tomorrow morning, or still this evening?

Come on–one more comment. You’ll win a prize.

Cats ‘n’ Candles

Smoky the Bear should’ve been a cat. As you can see, cats have a compulsion to put out fires. And they do it bare-handed, too. I have learned how to do it without knocking the candle over. Maybe it’ll come in handy someday.

Holy Cow–They Really Believe That?

The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future(Or, Don 't Trust Anyone Under 30): Bauerlein, Mark: 9781585427123: Amazon.com: Books

[Huff-puff! Newswithviews is done! One more blog post, type up a chapter of my new book… and I can crash.]

When I was in college, if I heard this once, I heard it ten thousand times–“Your generation is the best, the smartest, the most with-it generation ever! You are the hope of America!” Etc., etc.

I put this down to manipulation. This was how left-wing professors recruited useful idiots. You could cut the cynicism with a knife.

Professors are still stroking their students with this pap, but there’s a big difference between then and now.

Now they really believe it!

In his book, The Dumbest Generation, Mark Bauerlein cites a multitude of studies that find that professors have actually convinced themselves that their students are inherently wise. Although if that really were the case, why are the students sitting at their desks listening to the prof, when they should be up at the lectern and the profs at the desks, being taught by the students?

And some of them would think that was a good idea.

The fruits of the most costly education system in history are not only rotten, but also poisonous. It’s killing our country by inches.

I’m sure manipulation is still part of the picture, but it’s gone beyond that to pure idiocy.

Defund the universities. Now, before it’s too late.

Washington State ‘Mandates’ Critical Race Theory

Democratic Debates: Everyone Is Horny for Jay Inslee

Gov. Jay Inslee says you’re all guilty of “institutional racism”

While the rest of the country is up in arms trying to get “Critical Race Theory” thrown out of their schools, or banned from getting in, Washington State, back in May, “mandated” CRT for all its public schools (https://www.ntd.com/washington-governor-signs-bill-mandating-critical-race-training-in-public-schools_610411.html).

Because it teaches children to hate themselves, each other, their families, and their country, CRT is almost universally loathed. Only brain-dead white liberals–and that’s who’s governing Washington–like it.

I don’t know how I missed this story. Maybe it was one of those stealth nooze stories: “If we keep quiet about it, the rubes out there’ll never know it happened!”

So all pubic school teachers in Washington will have to endure a special “training day” that’ll teach them how to recognize and root out “institutional racism.” Note the existence of “institutional racism” is presented as a given. Liberals think they’re clever when they use sophomoric tricks of argumentation.

The question will become, someday… Can the rest of the country secede from Washington?

Racking My Brain

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Lingua Franca

I am supposed to write a Newswithviews column today, but I don’t know what to write about. Scanning the news of the week so far, we find an embarrassment of poverty. I mean, do I really want to write about drag queen shows at Nellis Air Force Base being held up to us as morale boosters and part of military readiness? How far could I go with that without tossing my cookies? If we ever have to fight a war against someone who can fight back, we’re done for.

I notice in the cartoon that the poor brain is positioned where the 8-ball would normally be. As Edgar Rice Burroughs once said, to be behind the 8-ball and out on a limb at the same time is very bad business.

Look, I’ve got to go pick up my laundry. If you’ve got any suggestions, I’ll read them as soon as I get back. And then I really must write something.

 

Let’s Do It Today!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

G’day! Byron the Quokka here, to tell you we have 74,974 comments–which means we only need 26 more–just 26 more!–to reach that glorious 75,000-comment milestone.

We don’t really need all day to round up another 26 comments, do we?

And the winner gets a dandy prize, your choice–an autographed copy of one of Lee’s books, or this cool red-and-white T-shirt that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost”: a guaranteed conversation piece.

Let’s bring in those comments, boys ‘n’ girls, and show the Big Tech censors that they can’t make us cry uncle!
