TFS 56 – President Trump – Expanding Executive Powers is a Dangerous Game
A brief discussion of a disturbing lack of regard for checks on executive powers by the current POTUS. (Source: https://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/toothless-congress-fails-to-limit-presidential-war-powers/ )
Brief because I am pressed for time and also spent a good four hours writing/editing the following story: The Walls
TFS 55 – Committing to the Noir; Propaganda; and ‘What is Education?’
A bit of a ramble on things mentioned in the title. If this leaves you bored I also just wrote a poem: https://fractaljournal.com/2020/05/14/the-long-thunder-poem/

TFS 54 – American Single Malts, Workin’ for a Livin’, Muh Millenials, and YouTube Bric a Brac
It takes Courage and Conviction to keep this shitty caterpillar squatting above my upper lip till June.
While we’re at it let’s explore the shibboleth of ‘workin’ for a livin’.
Ah, dear yet more tedious observations regarding Millenials to contend with.
All this while YouTube seems to be trying it’s hardest to hide your comments from me.
This will take Courage and Conviction indeed.

TFS 53 – Cycling Death and Urban Cycling Safety
I woke up from my post-work nap to see a text from a friend. The text was a link to a local news site describing the death of a cyclist that occurred yesterday (Sunday, May 10, 2020). Seeing as I cycle with some regularity in urban and semi-urban environments (with mad Carolina drivers to boot) I decided to upload a video on how to avoid getting hit by motorists.

TFS 51 – October Faction and The Epoch Times on the ‘CCP Virus’
I talk about an unfairly maligned bit of wackiness called October Faction and discuss an otherwise decent publications rather overzealous critique of China/CCP.

TFS 50 – Principle vs Allegiance, Tales of Idiocy, and ‘Looming Meat Shortages’
I continue the discussion of civilizational decline. With an examination of the difference between principle and allegiance and what this means for the rule of law.
Other Supporting Topics Include
- How anti-intellectualism and the abdication of the Enlightenment ethos have led to ack of the moral courage required to secure inalienable liberties.
- Anecdotes of how ill-informed individuals in my life have demonstrated an attachment to allegiances rather than principles.
- How the lack of a skeptical mindset has led to monopolies that create huge supply line problems; as all centralized systems of business and government do.

TFS 49 – Internet Busybodies prove Peter Hitchens Concerns
Peter Hitchens does a rather excellent job of describing our decline. It is not the moralist’s self-righteous ramblings that Hitchens brings to the table. But, rather a very tangible, quantifiable, decay in standards and practices that affect everything from personal interactions to jurisprudence.
Just today whilst on a check-out line, the gentleman ahead of me announced to the cashier how he was part of a Facebook group that ‘spied on crazy people.’
I discuss why this Stasi like behavior is concerning and tie it to Hitchens admonishments.
Finally, I launch into a discussion of Peter Hitchen’s 2018 appearance on Good Morning Britain. Thanks, for listening.

TFS 48 – Peter Hitchens on Cultural Decline and Loss of Liberty
I review some excellent points Peter Hitchens made regarding the cultural decline that’s led our society and institutions to abdicate principals of individual rights, rule of law, and other ideals.
Said ideals being integral to the success of not only England and America but any country that wants a similar outcome – this is troubling, to say the least.
