FMJRA 2.0: A Better Start Than Last Year

Posted on | August 22, 2026 | No Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

Started the week going 2-1 against Pete’s Brewers, but then went to the Polo Grounds to face the Giants, which was almost as bad as the Red Sox at Fenway, except we hung on in Game #2 to force extra innings: Len Randle got a single off Ron Schueler in the top of the 11th, and two groundouts & a double from Jim Sundberg later it was 10-9 Senators. and Steve Foucault came in to shut down the Giants in the bottom of the inning for his third game. The Giants have some tough starters, and if Nolan Ryan hadn’t pulled his groin or something in Game 2, we might well have gone 0-3. Next up are the Angels; we’re playing them tomorrow afternoon at home in RFK, so that ought to turn few gopher balls into long fly outs instead. Meanwhile, we’re 5-7, a game behind Boston and Milwaukee and just 1.5 games behind Minnesota. It’s April in 1975, and we think we have a good shot at the playoffs this year.

What ‘Our Democracy’ Really Means

Posted on | August 22, 2026 | No Comments

Hat-tip to Stephen Green at Instapundit on this one. For many years I have said that, if it weren’t for double standards, Democrats would have no standards at all. The only “principle” they have is a lust for power.

The latest headline example:

ActBlue co-founder Matt DeBergalis pleaded the Fifth Amendment during his closed-door deposition before three key House committees, sources familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital.
The Committee on House Administration, House Oversight Committee, and House Judiciary Committee are conducting a joint investigation into ActBlue, a massive fundraising platform for Democrats, over allegations that lax fraud prevention standards may have allowed foreign donations to seep into US campaigns.
DeBergalis’ deposition, which was scheduled for Thursday morning, lasted less than half an hour. . . .
A report released by the committees in April 2025 claimed that “ActBlue executives and staff are aware that both foreign and domestic fraudulent actors are exploiting the platform but do not take the threat seriously.”

As Mike Benz points out, with Democrats, every accusation is a confession — they habitually accuse Republicans of wrongdoing that Democrats themselves are guilty of, in this case, foreign interference in American elections. ActBlue was perfectly OK with their system being used to launder foreign contributions into Democratic campaign coffers, with the big-money foreign donors using the stolen identities of Americans to disguise these illegal contributions.

For more than two years during his first term, Democrats made “Russian collusion” the centerpiece of their efforts to undermine Trump’s presidency, and it has subsequently been demonstrated that this was a hoax — Democrats manufactured phony “evidence” (i.e., the Steele dossier) and then used subversive elements of the national security apparatus (e.g., Brennan, Comey, Clapper, et al.) to give this hoax the semblance of credibility. This stuff was fed to the news media, who hyped it up, and Democratic politicians loudly proclaimed that this foreign interference (which, to repeat, was a hoax of their own making) was “a threat to Our Democracy.” To this day, Democrats refuse to admit what they did, and the fools who believed Democrats don’t want to admit they were deceived. They are invested in the Big Lie, and justify that investment by crude demonization: ORANGE MAN BAD!

Do you see how the Threat to Our Democracy™ rhetoric functions to support an “end justifies the means” excuse for whatever crimes Democrats may commit in their anti-Trump crusades? Convince the public that Trump is literally Hitler, and then they lie, steal and cheat to stop Hitler, because protecting Our Democracy™ matters so much.

All of this, you understand, is because Democrats do not consider any government legitimate unless they are in charge. Democrats are so accustomed to being in charge of everything — in the news media, in schools and colleges, in every major city — that they are shocked and offended whenever a Republican wins an election. Vast parts of America, including the states of Texas and Florida, are viewed by Democrats as anti-democratic fascist regimes simply because those states are run by Republicans. If you live in such a state, and vote Republican, you are considered by Democrats to be subhuman, Lebensunwertes Leben.

It turns out that Our Democracy™ — the rhetorical ideal that Democrats claim to be defending — is not democratic at all, because what Democrats actually want is a one-party totalitarian regime, where they wield all power, never lose an election, and can effectively outlaw opposition.

The worst part of the ActBlue scandal is that Democrats and their media allies keep pretending that it’s not really a scandal. No, according to Democrats, the real scandal is that Republicans hold a House majority, and therefore control the committees that are investigating this criminal enterprise. If Democrats win the midterm elections, those investigations will end, which means they will have gotten away with their crimes.

That is what Our Democracy™ really means — absolute immunity for Democrats, no matter what laws they break to gain power.

The Lindsay Clancy Feminists

Posted on | August 21, 2026 | No Comments

In case you’re not following the courtroom drama:

Lindsay Clancy is a Massachusetts mother on trial for the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children. Her defense argues she suffered from postpartum psychosis and lacks criminal responsibility, while the prosecution contends she planned the killings.

That’s the AI summary of a USA Today story, and the weird thing — the creepy, scary thing — is that there are women taking the killer’s side of the case. Women are actually rallying outside the courtroom in support of this murderer. And, of course, blaming her husband for it.

The facts of the case are irrelevant to this; Lindsay’s supporters aren’t about facts, they’re about emotion. The core premise of their argument is very simple: No woman is ever responsible for anything.

This has always been what feminism sought — woman’s complete exemption from responsibility — so that nothing is every their fault. Whatever a woman may do wrong, there’s always a man to blame for it.

As the ideological basis of a political movement, the Eternal Victimhood of Women offers certain advantages, but when you try to build your own personal life around such a idea, the result is misery. Feminism is simply the organization of unhappiness for political purposes, and if the embrace of feminist ideology only makes women more miserable, that’s a win-win for the movement: More misery equals more power.

If you have studied psychology at all, you understand that the most important thing to good mental health is the sense of personal agency, the belief that you are in control of your own life, that you can make choices as an individual to make your life better, that the most important person in your life is you. While this may at first glance appear to be a possible justification for selfishness, or an appeal to “rugged individualism,” it’s really not that at all. It’s a formula for mental health based on a thoughtful examination of what makes people crazy.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a renowned expert on the subject of craziness. Glenn Reynolds once lamented, “Yes, we live in a world where Stacy McCain has to tell us not to be crazy.” The worst craziness is paranoid schizophrenia, in which the patient imagines that they are menaced by a conspiracy of sinister forces. This is the extreme example of what happens if you lose your sense of personal agency, and start thinking that you are not in control of your own life. Deny your own personal responsibility and begin blaming all your problems on someone else, and next thing you know, you might be ranting insanely about CIA mind-control, the Freemasons, the Jews, or some invisible demonic power as the explanation of everything. You know, like Candace Owens.

In earlier, more primitive times, America put its lunatics in asylums, with straitjackets, padded cells, etc. Now all the lunatics have podcasts, which some would call progress, but I’m skeptical. At any rate, it’s never a good idea to encourage the victimhood mentality, to tell people that they are not to blame for their personal problems because they are oppressed by structural racism, capitalist hegemony, or the “Zionist entity,” because that kind of blame-game thinking inevitably leads to insanity.

Let us return to the case of Lindsay Clancy. Is post-partum depression a real thing? Yes, it is. Can it turn into full-blown psychosis? In some cases, yes. Should we be sympathetic to the struggles of women dealing with post-partum depression? Yes, of course. But do we want to turn this sympathy into a “Get Out of Jail Free” card for murderers? No, we do not.

This is what the pro-Lindsay Clancy crowd are trying to do, to make us think that she is the victim, rather than the three helpless children she strangled to death. And this is where feminism has led us, to a society in which murder is viewed as justifiable, if the killer is a woman.

Remember, folks: Crazy People Are Dangerous.

Florida Primaries: Vindman Loses, Jews Win, Very Bad Night for Hasan Piker

Posted on | August 18, 2026 | No Comments

Florida’s 25th District is the main House “battleground” in the state this fall, after the district was redrawn to give the GOP a 10-point edge. The incumbent Democrat, Rep. Jared Moskowitz, won by a margin of less than 5 percent in 2024, and his seat is one of the most vulnerable for Democrats nationwide in the midterm fight to control the House.

Controversial left-wing podcaster Hasan Piker endorsed Moskowitz’s primary opponent, DSA-backed Oliver Larkin — and got stomped.

That’s a big “L” for Piker, and sets up a November showdown between Moskowitz and Scott Singer, the mayor of Boca Raton, who calls himself a “lifelong Jewish Republican” and is 100% pro-Israel. So there’s no place for the pro-Hamas vote to go in that election and, meanwhile, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz got 45% of the vote to win her Democratic primary against four black challengers, including socialist Elijah Manley, who accused Wasserman-Schultz of trying “to take away black representation.” While I am certainly not a big fan of Debbie . . .

The biggest win for our side, however, involved a far-left radical pulling an upset in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican Ashley Moody. This is a special election. Moody was appointed to fill the term of Marco Rubio after he became Secretary of State, and the winner of the November election will serve until the next regular election in 2028. On the Democratic side, all the money and media attention went to Alex Vindman, who infamously inspired the 2019 impeachment of President Trump. Despite his enormous fundraising advantage, however, Vindman managed to lose to a kook:

Progressive state Rep. Angie Nixon scored a major upset over former National Security Council aide Alex Vindman in the Florida Democratic Senate primary, NBC News projects, setting up a general election race against Republican Sen. Ashley Moody.
Vindman, a retired lieutenant colonel and Iraq War veteran who rose to prominence as a witness during President Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment hearings, was viewed as a heavy favorite against Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, heading into Tuesday’s contest.
Vindman raised $16 million for his campaign, a significant number for a Democrat in red-leaning Florida, while Nixon brought in just over $900,000.
Vindman was recruited to run for the seat by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in an effort to expand its map during a midterm election cycle that is expected to be favorable for the party. . . .
Meanwhile, the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee quickly took a swipe at Nixon.
“Florida will never elect a socialist to the US Senate and we look forward to Ashley Moody’s victory in November,” spokesman Nick Puglia said.

There is zero chance that Democrats take that seat now. Vindman’s defeat in the primary not only involved a waste of $15 million in campaign cash, but further humiliated the Democratic Party establishment, particularly Chuck Schumer. While the chances of Democrats taking back the House are still pretty good, the chances of Schumer becoming Senate Majority Leader again are not good at all now.
