The Oasis for
Rational Conservatives

This has been a funny week, the funniest of the year – but as Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent in Stan Freberg’s Time for Beany (Albert Einstein’s favorite tv show) would always ask: “Funny peculiar or funny haha?”
The answer is Yes – because it’s both in spades. How weird a funny-peculiar/funny-haha combo can you get when a bottomlessly corrupt Democrat Party impeaches a Republican President on an invented fake-news incident in Ukraine as an attempt to cover up its main presidential candidate being up to his eyeballs in actual Ukraine corruption?
Especially when that candidate tops all others in obnoxious creepy weirdness. This clip from a talk he gave in Delaware in 2017 suddenly went viral this week:
One symptom of a society in crisis is the unreliability or even corruption of its own auditors.
After all, when the watchmen have lost moral authority to watch, who can be believed or trusted? Or, as the Roman satirist Juvenal famously put it, “Who will guard the guardians?”
After FBI Director James Comey was fired, he leaked his own memos of private and confidential conversations with the president. Whether Mr. Comey would go to jail hinged on how the FBI would categorize his memos post facto — as merely “confidential,” or as “secret” or “top secret.”
Two of the adjudicators were Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, Comey friends and FBI subordinates. The FBI eventually ruled that the leaking of the memos was not felonious. Which is why they exemplify, as do so many others, the Deep State Corruption tearing our country apart.
Everyone knows by now that the Russia collusion hoax was all about covering up the crimes that higher-ups in the FBI, CIA, and DOJ committed to derail the Trump candidacy and then presidency.
Robert Mueller never really investigated Trump; he knew from day one he had not colluded with any Russians to rig the election. He knew that the Clintons and the DNC, with the willing cooperation of the alphabet agencies, all of which it seems willingly submitted to personal political agendas over national security, were guilty of inventing the deception.
Mueller's job was to find ways to obscure their coup attempt and absolve them of their treasonous crimes. That is why the phonied-up dossier was barely mentioned in his report even though there would have been no sham investigation of Trump without it.
What scared Schiff's witness, the oily Lt. Col. Vindman, when listening in on the President's conversation with Zelensky, was the words "investigation" and "Burisma" in the same sentence – because he knows exactly who and how many swamp-dwellers have been getting illegitimately rich via Burisma.
And get ready for learning that Nancy Pelosi’s son is just as deep in Ukraine corruption as Joe Biden’s.
I’m told that I’m not supposed to feel like this — or, at least, that if I do feel like this, I’m not supposed to say so in public. People worked on that campaign, you see. People tried really hard. But that, I’m afraid, is a load of old nonsense.
Harris was running for the presidency, which is another way of saying that she was running to acquire power. I did not want her to have that power. It is true that some people tried their best to help her gain that power. They’re probably upset today. But they’ll get over it. She’s not that special.
On the contrary: She’s a would-be tyrant whose primary contribution to American life thus far:
This is to introduce to you the term Transjacking – transgender males entering and dominating women's sports at all levels, taking away opportunities that women have fought years to win. It’s the latest effort by the Left in its war on women.
This Friday (12/06), the top four NCAA Division III women’s soccer teams face off in the national semifinals. One of the final four teams’ goalkeepers, Isa Berardo, is a male transgender playing as a female for Pomona-Pitzer Colleges.
Not surprisingly, the male goalie has dominated the field against opposing female players, giving his team a chance to win the national championship thanks to his physical advantages in a key position.
This is increasingly happening throughout women’s sports, at all levels from elementary school through professional competitions.
It needs to be called Transjacking, and it’s creating not equality, but inequality. Here are just a few of the many ways women and girls are losing to their impersonators.
Regardless of who wins in 2020, the mega-issue that drove the 2016 elections will grip the country more intensely than ever.
Between 2016 and 2020, we have been pressed as never before to bow to the ruling class’s ever-escalating demands for conformity to its whims—such as to pretend that we join them in accepting that men can be women, and women can be men, on pain of dire social and economic consequences.
Not even the monsters depicted in Darkness At Noon, in Nineteen Eighty-Four or in Animal Farm, never mind Stalin’s Soviet Union or Mao’s China, or Hitler’s Germany, ever demanded such subrational submission.
Superficially, the ruling class’s “resistance” since 2016 has focused on Trump. Our temptation to focus on fights regarding Trump has obscured the fact that their objection is to us.
The instant after the 2020 elections, whatever happens, there will be no excuse for not paying due attention to the real question: What will become of us? What can we, what must we, do for ourselves?

g’s efforts to expand its power in Central Asia by investment and cooperation with the governments in the region are currently being undercut by the reactions of Central Asian populations to China’s repression of their co-ethnics and fellow Muslims in Xinjiang.
Many members of the Central Asian nationalities currently living in Xinjiang have ancestors who escaped there after the Soviets crushed the Basmachi movement (Turkestan Liberation Organization) in the 1920s and 1930s.
But over the past several months, they have been fleeing western China in increasing numbers and, upon arrival to their ancestral homelands, telling their co-ethnics about the concentration camps that the Chinese authorities have confined them to in the hopes of “re-educating” them away from Islam and national traditions and toward Beijing’s preferred values.
The massive scale of this flight was highlighted in a recent report issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Yesterday (12/05), there was this news story:
Climate Hairshirts with their apocalyptic warnings have become laughably boring. What will come to mind to any normal person is this famous scene from Ghostbusters. Please consider sending this to any Climate Hairshirt you may unfortunately know. It may get them to see their hysteria is hysterically funny.
Has there ever been a POTUS with a greater sense of humor than 45? A POTUS that can set his enemies’ hair on fire with such effortless ease?
While the Libtard Media was either baffled, like The Guardian, or so puerile they took it seriously, like HuffPo, once again being taken for a ride by the King of Trolls, the instantly-legendary tweet above made Trump the hero of Hong Kong freedom fighters.
Vast thousands marched on the streets of Hong Kong last night, chanting “Fight for Freedom – Stand with Hong Kong,” as they carried Rocky Trump posters:
That’s just for starters. It’s been a great week all around – here we go.
On Thanksgiving Day, Americans gather with their family and friends to celebrate the blessings that Providence has bestowed on their beloved country.
A deep appreciation of these blessings involves understanding that they were earned. It is to understand the awesome truth of how “God helps those who help themselves” applies to the Mayflower Pilgrims and their First Thanksgiving at America’s birth.
This is an appreciation and understanding of which those on the Left are incapable – for it would mean celebrating the capitalist freedom that made that original Thanksgiving possible. That made America possible.
This no liberal, no Democrat, no leftie can do. Thus they must distort history instead.
The distortion starts in Kindergarten, with the childish make-believe of your kid's school play portraying the noble Squanto teaching the helpless Pilgrims how to feed themselves. So let’s drop the curtain on the distortion and watch the real thing. Here it is.
Former New York City Mayor Nanny Bloomberg announced his candidacy for president Monday (11/25).
He pledged to spend at least $100 million of his $54.5 billion fortune on his campaign, mostly on ads attacking President Trump.
The president doesn’t seem worried.
“There’s nobody I’d rather run against than Little Michael (Bloomberg is 5’7”),” Trump said. “He’s got some big issues, some personal problems. He’ll spend a lot of money, but he’ll fail.”
Little Michael’s announcement generated only a few hundred retweets on Twitter Monday – out of 2.3 million followers. If the dogs won’t eat the dog food…
Bloomberg isn’t running because of popular demand. So why is he running?
Prior to last week, for days Adam Schiff had concocted a pretty effective fix.
He conducted secret impeachment inquiries in the House basement. Schiff kept quiet about his rigged rules. He orchestrated selective media leaks from the opening statements of favorable witnesses and then more or less threatened with ethical violations any Republican member who copied his tactics and leaked their own often effective cross-examinations.
The result was that the public heard only from Schiff about Schiff’s damning slam-dunk hearings. A drip-by-drip melting of both Trump’s polls and resistance to impeachment followed.
Schiff emerged for brief soundbites, bit his lip, and for a minute or two regretted the tragedy of having to hear damaging testimony about his own president.
But then Schiff’s Hubris finally lured in Nemesis. So quo vadis? Where do the Dems go marching to now?
Next year’s Tokyo Summer Olympics may spell the swift death of the transgender movement as a dominant politically-correct touchstone.
Biological men, self-identifying as women, are poised to make a clean sweep of the Women’s Olympics, triggering a very public debate on this third-rail subject. That firestorm, pitting pro-women feminists against extreme pro-transgender progressives, will begin July 24th, just as the Presidential sweepstakes moves into its sprint to the finish line.
It could, in fact, deconstruct the entire progressive coalition. Currently, that umbrella of competing needs appears to be held together by duct tape and baling wire.
I attended two Ivy League schools (Dartmouth and Yale) some time ago, roughly the Early Paleolithic Age, and, best as I can remember, sort of liked them.
But lately I'm beginning to think the whole elite school thing has turned into one big shuck, maybe it even was then—and not just because of the revelations of all the cheating surrounding admissions or that the institutions apparently discriminate against Asians as they did against Jews back in the day.
No, it's more basic than that. These formerly august institutions have morphed into kindergartens for jejune, virtue-signaling wannabe Trotskys and Rosa Luxemburgs (a.k.a. social justice warriors) who can't even let us watch a farshtunkene football game in peace.
In the middle of this year's Harvard-Yale game last Saturday (11/23), the great activistes spewed out onto the field to demand, what else, action on climate change—delaying the game for over an hour. So why is there still an Ivy League?
