Wisdom Of The Ages

QOTD

From the 17th century, an anonymous writer talks about coffee:

“Coffee Collects and settles the Spirits, makes the erection more Vigorous, the Ejaculation more full, adds a spiritualescency to the Sperme, and renders it more firm and suitable to the Gusto of the womb, and proportionate to the ardours and expectations too, of the female Paramour.”

I’m too old, too impotent and too infertile to worry about all that stuff.  All I know is that before my morning cuppa of Dunkin’ Donuts Regular, my attitude towards the world can be summed up thus:

Granted, the addition of coffee to my system doesn’t change my mood that much

…but I do go from murderous to simply dangerous. so there’s that.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the Keurig.

From Reader Mark D in Comments yesterday (emphasis added):

“Problem is, the Left says they want to burn it all down, but they won’t like it if we actually start that bonfire.”

Preach it, Brother Mark.

Quote Of The Day

QOTD

From Angelo Codevilla:

Let there be no doubt: the ruling class’s focus on Donald Trump has been incidental.  America’s potentates do not fear one pudgy orange-haired septuagenarian.  They fear the millions of Americans whom they loathe, who voted for Trump, who gave his party control of House and Senate, and who will surely vote for folks these potentates really should fear.

Which is all the more reason for millions (upon millions) of Americans to vote for Trump in November, and for people who support his agenda.

Do not refuse to read Codevilla’s article because it’s “too long”.  It isn’t, because his exposition can’t be fitted onto a bumper sticker, and the stakes are too important.

From Taki’s Magazine:

If there are two categories in which black people outperform nearly everyone else on the planet, those would be sporting events and crime.

Our modern era is no different from other ones, despite our pretensions at civilization.  You can get pilloried, accused and even arrested just for speaking the truth.

Galileo would understand exactly what I’m saying.
