At long last, a spoiled rich kid who fulfilled every dimwitted college student's fantasy of waging a socialist revolution has kicked the bucket after almost sixty years of enriching himself off an impoverished and oppressed banana republic, which still adores and admires him. People ultimately get the government they deserve, and most people prefer slavery to personal freedom and its dreaded corollary, personal responsibility.
Witness how so many Americans also admire Castro while excoriating Donald Trump, a far less obnoxious man who hasn't even taken office and who promises only modest adjustments to public policy. Open borders haven't transformed immigrants into Americans; it has transformed many Americans into immigrants, diluting the rare qualities that once made America exceptional.

As Predicted, Talk Of Secession Is In The Air
Here is one prediction I got absolutely right: the real action in this election is taking place on the losing side, which rejects the legitimacy of the winner and is laying the groundwork for California's secession. This is a good thing.
I've been an advocate of secession for a long time, as it represents the natural right of one people to sever its political ties to another. Secession is how the United States was born out of Great Britain, and it's even how the Constitution was born out of the Articles of Confederation. Yes, Abraham Lincoln unleashed an illegal and terrible genocide to prevent secession, but denying the exercise of a right does nothing to disprove the right's existence. I might as well wrap duct tape around someone's mouth and proclaim that it disproves his right of free speech.
Secession also serves another important purpose: it increases the number of states on the world stage, which decreases any single state's power and enhances human liberty through international competition. Tyrants call this a "race to the bottom," which means that they can no longer tax, spend, regulate, and murder so easily.
So, if Californians want out, let them have it. Since they want to be governed like Cuba, there's no reason to prevent them from slitting their own throats. Just be sure to build an impregnable wall to stop them from seeking refuge in our country to escape their own mess, which is already a problem as refugees from failed states (within and without the United States) always carry their regressive mindsets with them and latch onto a new host to repeat their destructive, parasitic behavior.
On the other hand, if California lacks the chutzpah to leave the Union, then by all means let's fix it by expelling all illegals and finally terminating birthright citizenship, which is already unconstitutional anyway and doesn't require a new amendment.

Color Me Surprised
I was completely wrong. I didn't think Trump ever had a snowball's chance of winning the presidency, but he appears to have done so against all odds. On the one hand, this disappoints me because many American patriots will renew their faith in the obscene entity calling itself the federal government as an engine of salvation. On the other hand, how can I stay disappointed when the establishment has taken a swift kick to its nether regions?
I welcome whatever happens next. This is too much fun to feel otherwise.

Grab Popcorn And Ammunition. This Will Get Interesting.
As I've said on here before, it makes no real difference whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump wins the election tomorrow, since the losing side will be fighting mad and ready to assert a God-given right that's been ignored for too long: disobedience.
I personally think Hillary will win, since the establishment is highly unlikely to allow a pesky formality such as voting to disrupt their power along with their aspirations to destroy American sovereignty and establish global governance. But that's just fine with me. The latest revelations about spirit cooking and pedophilia will steel many Americans' resolve not to honor anything this corrupt crone says. A Trump victory would lull too many patriotic Americans into proclaiming victory and going back to watching football, while the collection of dependents and deviants who would rebel against Trump could be put down with relative ease.
If I'm completely wrong and Trump wins, at least I'll get a tremendous laugh out of watching my Facebook newsfeed explode into hysteria. Either way, this is going to be fun.

Atlas Is Shrugging
More and more people are fretting about the increasing numbers of men dropping out of the economy and living on their own terms. Yahoo News has a story estimating that about 9 million men have become workless, are disengaged from daily life, and "don't do civil society." Establishment cuckservative George Will also recently wrung his hands about this "quiet catastrophe," pausing to note that many of these men are retreating from marriage, which he predictably labels as "infantilization."
It's funny how a society that never tires of mocking men goes into a fainting spell when men politely turn their backs on it. If you're all so superior and capable, men's growing lack of participation shouldn't be a problem at all. The fact that it is belies your delusional self-image and shows that the ground is trembling beneath your feet. Atlas indeed is shrugging, and the only infantilism here is in those who refuse to acknowledge why.
A man who plays by the rules, works hard, and is honest and sincere has a rude awakening in store for him. Once he wakes up, though, he never can go back to sleep. In school and university he is told that he is a predator who must actively be instructed not to rape women. In the workplace he must constantly check his most innocent speech and conduct for fear that some harpy will deem it "unwelcome" and tag him as a harasser. At any point in his interactions with women generally, all it takes is one vengeful accusation to destroy his reputation and liberty. If he achieves financial success, he has to surrender greater percentages of his income to finance other people's profligacy, promiscuity, and bastardy. If he scrimps and saves to live within his means and plan for the future, he is punished with a real interest rate that is negative in order to provide cheap credit to people who are far less responsible. And if he marries and has children, God help him if his wife unilaterally decides to eject him from his home and his children's lives while still demanding that he continue supporting them, on pain of imprisonment.
What self-respecting, or even sane, man wants to invest his energy in this miasma? The men who do are accurately described as "blue pill," for they live in a fantasy world that is waiting to be shattered. For those who have taken the red pill, there is no reason to work themselves to death for a society that disrespects and pillages them. The bottom line is that society cannot survive without the active efforts and contributions of good men. Either learn this lesson and change your ways, or grab your ankles and kiss your ass goodbye.
