A Quick WTH?

Posted on 11/21/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

This week (and, in fact, probably the rest of the year) is going to be a short one. I hope to expand it into a quasi-regular offering, which I’ll tentatively call “Conspiracy Corner.” An acquaintance of my wife’s recently expressed … Continue reading →

Watching the World Burn

Posted on 08/29/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, well, the Amazon, anyway. And if Dear Leader has his way, likely the wilds of Alaska soon, too. And now, as I type this, he’s apparently considering “changing the rules,” such that the children of U.S. Servicemembers born overseas … Continue reading →

Fixing It

Posted on 08/01/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, rather, fixing me. I’m going to keep this short, unfortunately, as I’m experiencing a very slight, very local “sort-of” emergency. To wit, I got an injury–stabbed by a rose thorn–on my hand, and it’s infected, and swollen like a … Continue reading →

Or Better Yet, Try to Fix It

Posted on 07/18/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

We’re back! I hope everyone had a pleasant Independence Day, despite the shenanigans going on in the Capitol. Speaking of such, how about the mess Dear Leader has gotten himself into over this last week? Despite anything his apologists might … Continue reading →

Words Have Meaning

Posted on 06/20/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Short-ish rant, this week. I’m struck by the apparent notion that a variety of things that would benefit the populace at large, or at least large chunks of it, are all “socialism.” At least, so sayeth our esteemed Senate Majority … Continue reading →

Business As Usual

Posted on 05/23/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, perhaps, “busy-ness” is better.  We performed an “emergency” kitchen remodel last week, in addition to having to catch multiple bee swarms, keep the dogs from stressing out (disruption from the remodel), and the usual housekeeping, and getting ready for … Continue reading →

Miscellany

Posted on 04/25/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Once again, I’ve been too busy to plan out a nice, meaty, solid post for you all…  So here’s a handful of smaller ones, smashed together. The Report The Special Counsel’s report has been out for a bit now. That’s … Continue reading →

One Gets Exhausted

Posted on 02/28/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

So, I had a notion to discuss an area this week where Rawles and I mostly agree (gasp!). That area is the notion of sharing, after a calamity. He states often his (and in his novels, his characters’) intent to … Continue reading →

A Few Realities

Posted on 02/14/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

No, I’m not talking about the dichotomy between the world most rational people live in, and the one inhabited by the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  (Although those are certainly two vastly different realities.) What I’m referring to would … Continue reading →

So There’s That

Posted on 11/08/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

As one of the pundits stated, we as a country have stepped back from the abyss. It was, let’s say, a halting, grudging, shuffling half-step back, but it’s further from the edge than we were. The left has taken back … Continue reading →
