Will's Upside Down Post for the Week

It's cute the way conservative analysts thought facts matter more than feels. We're looking at you, Ben Shapiro. Also Andy McCarthy.

We've heard all the arguments but we just can't get past the feeling that something was wrong. There's something almost Soviet about the way Chauvin knelt upon the Gentle Giant. 'Da Comrade, this is the system.' 

This blog admits to two contradictory impulses. The police are over armed and over-aggressive. Also, the police should unleash a hail of bullets upon Antifa/BLM rioters. Of course the former is true while they won't do the latter. We want you on that wall, we need you on that wall. There we said it. Be nice if you were on the wall thought, and not hassling the law abiding. 

We don't have much to ad except this: it's only the beginning. There are new protests in Columbus as police shot a black girl as she was attempting to stab another black girl. Expect the anti-white pogrom to intensify. 

Let's get onto more positive stuff. 

Or not. We're still tearing our hair out over The Final Storm even as things are coming together. We're going to take a hard look at things at the end of the month. 

On a whim we cracked open The Great Salvation of 1976 and began reading. Instantly the good feelings returned. We like what we see, generally, the first cabinet meeting, Matt walking down the west bank of the Hudson, a Coast Guard Cutter cruising the Mississippi. We'll continue reading, if for no other reason than to feel like we're making some progress, doings something useful. It's 62,000 words. As The Great Nuclear War of 1975 is 75,000 words, we feel we need to ad. We'll see.

We had a literary plan for 2021. God laughed. We have 10,000 words about an Arab kingdom facing an Isis style revolt. It used to be a British colony. Think Dogs of War meets The Wild Geese. Worried meeting at Whitehall (check). Getting the crew back together montage (check). A novel that has a lot of ass kicking women characters but a misogynistic base.  It's not like anything we've done before. We broke it out yesterday and liked what we saw. Maybe that will be our sneak in this summer?

The verdict stopped nothing here. The weather was warm in the afternoon and blissfully cool in the evening. The girls played outside. Oldest Daughter went on a long walk with her BFF. We barbequed and had a beer. We've been meaning to drink more.

No gym yesterday. We'll lift today and run tomorrow.
