Request For Amnesty: Denied
Request For Amnesty: Denied A recent article in The Atlantic made a call for ‘Pandemic Amnesty,’ but reveals just how little the Branch COVIDians have learned.

A heretic’s guide to voting
A heretic’s guide to voting: Fighting progressivism through national elections “This is the most important election of our lifetimes.” I learned that from the Twitter feed of a twenty-year-old college student with a perfectly angled selfie for her avatar. Perhaps she’s right. Perhaps the 2022 midterm election, like every national…
Is progressivism’s moral makeup finally peeling?
Is progressivism’s moral makeup finally peeling? Hope against woke: an anecdote. We’d served on boards together. We’d been execs and investors together, sacrificing fortunes and sanity in a doomed (read: romantic) attempt to save a beleaguered, beloved startup. In hope we’d shared blow, booze, and jambalaya. In despair, the heavy,…
Sorry about the looming recession
Sorry about the looming recession The misanthropic musings of an American grandkid So here we are. Mid-October 2023. I mean 2022. Fatalism makes little distinction. On the weathered deck near a bowl of half-nibbled cat food, the leaves on some plant to which I’ve irresponsibly agreed to tend sulk and…

Keith discusses secession movements past and present outside the U.S. with guest J.G. Franklin, an actor, english conversation teacher, and Washingtonian living in Brazil. The trend of the last century is away from empires toward decentralization, with the number of countries tripling in the last century. We start with Brazil – J.G. gives a brief history of the formation of Brazil by mostly peaceful separation, and the possibility of three southern Brazil states going independent today. We briefly cover some of the numerous peaceful national divorces in the Americas, Eastern and Western Europe, and Africa, from Brexit to Namibia to Czech Republic to Crimea. To close we talk about the key to all of this – the principle of self-governance beautifully outlined in the US Declaration of Independence.
