This weekend, we’re going to look at the very best posts from the thousands created in 2024. Right-click on any link to read the post in a new tab:

• College Boy – my views on higher education
• Cruel World – a pissy review of a major music concert
• T-160 – an incredibly accurate post, written way back in May, about the election. Allow me to share a snippet of it so you can see how amazingly on-target I was, so you might want to read the whole post!

Election Day (Tuesday, November 5th) – Trump wins. He wins because the majority of people are sick of the weirdness. The fifty-seven genders, the men dressed as women pretending to be admirals, the celebration of career criminals as some kind of heroes – – all of it. There are other reasons, of course, such as the utterly misguided notion that Trump is somehow going to make this pathetic country “great” again, but they’ll wise up sooner or later. This moment, incidentally, will be the peak optimism of the MAGA crowd. They are going to be absolutely ecstatic. If that feeling could be securitized, I’d want to short it.

The Lame Duck Era (November 6th through the Inauguration in January 2025) – There are going to be two sharply divided camps during this time. The Trump camp is going to be absolutely dripping blood from their fangs with anticipation about the Revenge Agenda. It’s going to be all about Hurting those who are perceived by Trump to be any kind of enemy or threat. Every single plan is going to be focused on creating a monoculture of power and executing the equivalent of ethnic cleansing to everybody else. In the waning days of the doddering Biden administration, they are going to do everything they can do get-while-the-getting-is-good, typically through executive orders, to shape the nation’s agenda as far to the left as humanly possible, since they know it’s going to be just as quickly dismantled once they’re out of power.
