The Oasis for
Rational Conservatives
Friday, April 10, 2026
Juneteenth, schmoonteenth. The only solace for a week as ghastly as this is comic relief.
Yet this was a week that grief for what has happened to America is washing over any hope for her. Take this heartbreaking story (6/14): Teen Who Makes Teddy Bears for Children of Fallen Police Officers Receives Death Threats for Her Kindness to Police.
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.
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.Derek Chauvin was a racist cop,
a registered Democrat,
working for a Democrat Police Chief
voted into office by Democrat voters,
in a Democrat controlled city,
in a Democrat controlled state.
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?!
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?
The asking of the question answers the question.
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.
On CNBC, he demanded that the US Government – meaning taxpayers like you and me – pay $14 trillion of reparations for slavery to “help reduce racial inequality.”
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.]
The day after the horrific death of George Floyd on May 25, the rioting began in Minneapolis. It was violent, destructive, and murderous. Tragically, the death of this one man at the hands of one particular bad cop became an opportunity for the demolition of the city. Hundreds of small businesses, many of them minority-owned, were destroyed.
Like previous riots, the rioters have set their own communities back decades. The riots spread to New York; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles; Chicago; Santa Monica; Beverly Hills; and elsewhere. There have been protests in nearly every other city in America. Hundreds of millions of dollars in losses due to looting and damage to buildings have been incurred.
The question is, where on Earth are the Republicans?
Why has there been no press conference with every Republican in the House and Senate standing together to denounce all this violence? To passionately defend our police? Why are they cowering in silence?
The “peaceful protests” against the terrible brutalization and death of George Floyd soon either themselves turned violent or, in many cases, were hijacked by Antifa operatives and opportunistic looters or both.
It was certainly not as alleged a “small number” who destroyed swaths of New York, Santa Monica, Minneapolis, or Philadelphia.
After watching hours of such footage of mayhem and destruction, one can glean a few rules that the rioters apparently followed quite religiously. And they are often disconcerting if not bizarre. Here is a sample of 10.
On Monday (6/08), Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrat leadership became the living embodiment of a tagline symbolizing helpless frailty.
The irony is almost unbearable – American heroism in space, Anarcho-Fascist violence tearing American cities apart below.
Shortly after witnessing the successful SpaceX launch last Saturday (5/30), the President delivered a remarkable address at the Kennedy Space Center.
I have waited many years for such a presidential declaration. My Aeschylus and America in 2004 expressed it in the section on “Aeschylus and Neal Armstrong” – that we had a failure of nerve in the face of the rest of humanity’s envy for the greatest achievement in the history of mankind, America’s landing a man on the Moon.
We retreated from space, from Vietnam, from everywhere. Ronald Reagan rescued us, then proceeded to achieve the impossible once again, America ridding the world of the Soviet Union to peacefully win the Cold War. We’ve been retreating from that heroic pinnacle ever since. Until, that is, we rejected retreat and strove for greatness instead as we did with Ronald Reagan, and elected Donald Trump.
Coronavirus has been the most searched term on Google in 2020. Suddenly, for the last several days, three-quarters of the top trending Google searches relate to the country-wide riots over the death of George Floyd. Virtually no searches of the Chinese coronavirus.
Twitter provides another barometer. Of the top trending Twitter topics for these days noted above, a third were tied to the riots, but nothing regarding the Wuhan flu.
How could such a black swan event disappear from the news so quickly? This is another example of Rush Limbaugh’s “drive-by media”, quickly driving past a story that is no longer of use or relevance to the DNC media apparatus.
Was the past four months of media hysteria and panic really about the virus? Or was it instead a means to a desired end?
