This is the opening narration of an episode of The Twilight Zone in 1961, written by Rod Serling. It was called "The Obsolete Man." Indeed. He knew the left's mantra: "Logic is an enemy and truth is a menace."
Watching it today is a stark reminder that what we Americans are experiencing, the violence that is tormenting Democrat-run cities throughout America, is not particularly new. The totalitarian left has forever been trying to eliminate those of us who rage against the dying of the light.
Serling was beyond prescient when he wrote the screenplay for this episode. He was a true visionary. He somehow envisioned the future we now inhabit — an era in which those who "have a mind" are deemed obsolete.
If Donald J. Trump is re-elected to a second term as president, will that victory finally be enough to break the back of a military and policy “elite” who have surrendered to the anti-American mobs and the Democrat Party who made them possible?
It’s a good question. Here’s more.
Who does our military serve?
Are they subordinated to some ineffable “conventional wisdom” about justice and racial harmony? Do they march to the beat of a “politically correct” agenda defined by the organizations like Black Lives Matter, Antifa, or to the nostrums of ivy league grandees?
Or are they under the command of the citizen America elects to hold the rank of their commander-in-chief?
It’s certainly frustrating to watch a pack of reeking leftist scumbags declare a portion of an American city an “autonomous zone” – what is it with Democrats and their secession fetish? – but do not get frustrated because Donald Trump has not sent the 101st Airborne in to powerwash the human grunge from Seattle’s feces-bedecked streets.
That’s what the Democrats want. And Trump – a better strategic thinker than all the media geniuses, hack politicians, and Afghan War-losing generals who cry about him – is not only not going to give them the victory they crave. He’s going to jam their cheesy plan down their throats.
The libs’ plan to win in November corresponds to Trump’s plan to crush them yet again. Here’s how and here’s why. You’re going to enjoy this.
BLM/Antifa proto-hominids attack Jackson statue (6/22)
When I see the images from Lafayette Square on Monday night (6/22) I keep wondering, where are the conservative leaders who have said so much and done so little to defend our history?
It was a multi-ethnic group of working class DC cops who stood guard protecting Andy Jackson’s statue, their facemasks flecked with the spittle from woke white women. Being taunted by woke white men with man buns. And getting called a traitor to their race.
What I want to see right now more than anything is elected officials and community leaders who are willing and ready to link arms with these cops and physically take part in cleaning up this mess and defying the mob.
Due process is not the strong suit of mobs. Neither is nuance, open discussion, or disagreement.
These inherent defects should be painfully obvious as mobs pull down statues, seize sections of cities, and demand the public approach them on bended knee, literally. Anyone who dares push back, perhaps with a mild tweet saying “All lives matter,” faces immediate censure.
In this perilous environment, the most frenzied voices do more than dominate the public square. They monopolize it by silencing dissent. They have received full-throated support from the tech giants that control electronic discussion and the media giants determined to shape the narrative rather than report the news.
The “thought police” are on patrol and ever-vigilant, twirling the twin batons of guilt and moral superiority. They need to be defunded.
When something cannot go on, it certainly will not go on. But what are the symptoms of what cannot go on and when?
There are two historic red lines and our revolution is getting close to both.
When Normal People Grow Weary
One is when “average” people, both white and nonwhite, who identify neither with Left nor Right, woke nor unwoke, become frightened or appalled by the violence and the anarchy—and thus finally move to dismantle the guillotine as the razor increasingly starts haircutting friends, idols, and compatriots.
Their verdict can be known either by demonstrating themselves, boycotting, voting, or massive civil disobedience. At some point, tonight’s looting rioting hero on on CNN, becomes tomorrow’s commonplace, unnoticed felon.
This is but one example of so many overwhelming us now that makes it clear: November 3rd is no longer a choice between Republican and Democrat. It is a choice between Decency and Depravity, Freedom and Slavery, Civilization and Savagery. A future or no future at all.
As always, the HFR provides solutions to how achieve the formers and reject the latters.
This really isn’t photoshopped – it’s what a sunset actually looks like on the Luangwa River in Zambia. Best way to enjoy it is with a gin-and-tonic Sundowner with good friends on a dream Africa safari. Zambia is an undiscovered gem, the best safari country in all Africa right now.
Fabulous luxury lodges, iconic animals of Africa in amazing profusion, and much less expensive than the well-known safari regions elsewhere. I told you all about our Africa Dream Safari in January. It filled up fast – but then you know what happened to us and the whole world.
We’ve rescheduled it with new dates, August 1st to 11th. We can now take one, possibly two more couple(s) and maybe one single. Enjoy the description and all the cool photos below, and if you’re serious about joining us, email me at jack@wheelerexpeditions.com for a special discount I may be able to offer you.

Among the most durable of those institutions is what some call “the great American city.” America’s cities are indeed a wonder—built quickly from nearly nothing across a vast continent into a unique story of social and economic success.
We may now be on the cusp of a great reordering of the nation’s population as many people decide it is time to separate themselves and their families from the social, political and moral turbulence of this country’s large Democrat-controlled urban areas.
People with all sorts of political beliefs are going to get out because they are watching Democrat-controlled city after city reach a tipping point of social disorder and political disorganization.
In the past three months it has become clear that modern urban Democrat progressivism is politically incompetent and intellectually incoherent.
He had 18 complaints against him and was let off multiple times by Democrat prosecutor,
now Democrat Senator and failed Democrat presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar.
But somehow, it's all Trump's fault?!
Facts: America is accused of racism, of holding racial minorities back by way of system-wide white supremacism, and yet Jews, black Nigerians, Indian Americans (from India), and Asians are more successful in America than whites, and their respective imprison rates are lower than whites.
How is it possible in a country that we’re told is riddled with the cancer of white supremacism for those four groups to enjoy a higher standard of living and more success than their all-powerful, white oppressors?
Welcome to the Root Cause HFR. Libtard Groupthink’s mantra is the demand to solve the “root causes” of what they hate about America. That turns out to be what they call the “systemic racism” hardwired into America’s DNA from the inception, at which they peg the year 1619.
This is going to be a different HFR. Rather than itemizing and discussing the significant events of the week, we’ll be exposing the root cause of the whole dog’s breakfast that’s driving America insane right now – either cowardly or criminally so.
For it turns out that the Libtard DemFascisti are right – the root cause problem is systemic racism, but it is the opposite of what they think it is. Thus here is the explanation of the real systemic racism that is killing America.
Veteran TTPers will be familiar with this, and why it is embodied in the pendants pictured above. Not so much for our newer members. Reminder or revelation, what follows needs to be clearly understood by every American patriot if we are going to cure our country.
Robert Johnson, notes Wikipedia, is the first Black American Billionaire. He made it on his own. Only in America could he have achieved this. Yet on June 1st, he had the pathological effrontery to spit on his country in order to curry favor with – and avoid the envy of – the racist thugs of Only Black Lives Matter.
The incoherent racism of this is testimony to how the fear of being envied can turn even brilliantly successful businessmen’s brains into mush. So let’s straighten Bob out.
We’ve been here before. So much so that in TTP back in February 2004 – yes, over 16 years ago – I wrote We Owe Us: The Real Case for Reparations. We’re going to slightly revise it for today.
[On Sunday May 31, naturalized US citizen from Cameroon in West Africa, Nestride Yumga confronted BLM protestors in Washington DC. “Black Lives Matter is a joke. You are the racists,” she told them. “Go to Chicago. They don’t have schools, and they die every day. They don’t matter because you can’t get attention from that… You guys are hypocrites, attention seekers. No one is a victim here. The only victim here is George Floyd.” The video of her went so viral that she was invited to write an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, published yesterday (6/08). Here is the video – her op-ed follows.]
