Red Diaper Baby Butt
In [Pete Buttigieg’s] dad’s many enthusiastic writings on Gramsci and Marxism, he repeatedly and specifically mentions his son Pete as a tremendous help in his writings. To the point that ‘he couldn’t have done it without him’.

More Commie than Burnie
Angelo Codevilla, American Thinker – Feb 28th, 2020
h/t GnuBreed on A♠
Pete Buttigieg is going nowhere. But were Antonio Gramsci to survey today’s America, Buttigieg’s campaign would give him reason to be hopeful. …
Thanks to our dumbed-down, politically correct educational system, more and more Americans are susceptible to identifying religion, economics, and morality in the way our corrupt ruling class embodies them. Because our ruling class—religious leaders, politicians, professors, corporate officials, Hollywood, the media—are redefining the icons of American life in their own corrupt images, people increasingly are willing to turn their backs on them. …

Yeltsin, When the Blinders Fell
Hahaha. Seems I’ve covered this before on this blog. Thought it seemed familiar.
How A Russian’s Grocery Store Trip In 1989 Exposed The Lie Of Socialism
Jon Miltimore, The Federalist
…On Sept. 16, 1989, Boris Yeltsin was a newly elected member of the Soviet Parliament visiting the United States. Following a scheduled visit to Johnson Space Center, Yeltsin and a small entourage made an unscheduled stop at a Randalls grocery store in Clear Lake, a suburb of Houston. He was amazed by the aisles of food and stocked shelves, a sharp contrast to the breadlines and empty columns he was accustomed to in Russia.
Yeltsin, who had a reputation as a reformer and populist, “roamed the aisles of Randall’s nodding his head in amazement,” wrote Stefanie Asin, a Houston Chronicle reporter. He marveled at free cheese samples, fresh fish and produce, and freezers packed full of pudding pops. Along the way, Yeltsin chatted up customers and store workers: “How much does this cost? Do you need special education to manage a supermarket? Are all American stores like this?”…
“When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people,. That such a potentially super-rich country as ours has been brought to a state of such poverty! It is terrible to think of it.”

AmerIndians on Warpath with Psychohantus
Captain Hate at February 27, 2020 11:55 AM on A♠
In fairness to Psychohantus, she spent time recently with unfunny Colbert, one of the more annoying retards with an audience of clapping seals.
I don’t know if credit goes to Captain Hate for inventing this permutation of Fauxcahantus, but Psychohantus is a good one.
Over 200 Native Americans Demand Elizabeth Warren Retract Her Family Lore Stories About Being Cherokee
William A. Jacobson, Legal Insurrection
“Like many other white families, your family story of Cherokee and Delaware ancestry is false and it was wrong for you to repeat it as an adult. You have had the genealogical evidence since 2012. Stating you do not qualify for citizenship is not enough; the truth is you and your ancestors are white.”
More words and several related videos at Legal Insurrection.
Around where I live is called the Cherokee Nation. They and the Osages are the main tribes around here, but there are others. Most that I’ve met have seemed to me to be the best kind of folks, but, then, they are Oklahomans.

The Trusted Traitor
Fox News
On this day, Feb. 27…
1968: At the conclusion of a CBS News special report on the Vietnam War, Walter Cronkite delivers a commentary in which he says the conflict appears “mired in stalemate.”
Secret commie who wormed his way into our trust betrays America by proliferating enemy propaganda and undermining America’s will to persevere.
Walter is gone, but his spirit lives on in the commie “news” media of today.

What’s Literacy Worth?
Something I’d been thinking, but this guy put it well.
When Sanders talks about the literacy rates in communist countries he needs to be asked if he supports freedom of speech and thought.
Will people be allowed to write books critical of him and communism?
Will The Bible be available for anyone who wants to read it in his communist utopia?
Will the works of Milton Friedman be available?
Literacy is meaningless in a totalitarian society.
Regular Fast Radio Burst
Powerful Radio Signal From Deep Space Appears to Be Repeating in a 16-Day Cycle
Michelle Starr, Science Alert
c/o The Woodpile Report
h/t Misanthropic Humanitarian on A♠
…Now, for the first time, astronomers have found a fast radio burst (FRB) that repeats on a regular cycle.
Every 16.35 days, the signal named FRB 180916.J0158+65 follows a similar pattern. For four days, it will spit out a burst or two every hour. Then it falls silent for 12 days. Then the whole thing repeats.…
…FRBs are hugely energetic flares of radiation in the radio spectrum that last just a few milliseconds at most. In that timeframe, they can discharge as much power as hundreds of millions of Suns.
Most of them spark once, and we have never detected them again. This makes it rather difficult to track these bursts down to a source galaxy. Some FRBs spit out repeating radio flares, but wildly unpredictably. These are easier to track to a galaxy, but so far, that hasn’t brought us a great deal closer to an explanation.…
…”The discovery of a 16.35-day periodicity in a repeating FRB source is an important clue to the nature of this object….”
