RENSE COLUMN:

THIS IS WHO WE ARE

                                                                       July 8, 2022
EXCERPT: Mental Illness? This country is a stinky, heavily tattooed recluse hiding in the basement, staring fish-eyed at a computer screen, scratching his or her billions-served belly, farting through old underpants, swilling Diet Pepsi and canned cocktails, masturbating to porn that would have disgusted Caligula, AR-15 close by to deal with deep state stormtroopers, heathens, minorities, women, gays, Nancy Pelosi. Either that or throwing asinine, sanctimonious “pink pussy hat” weekend parties in the streets, carrying impotent signs about “Repignicuns” and “Regulate Dicks,” conflating lascivious sexual behavior with “rights” and “liberation,” turning every issue into identity politics, and “diversity” and "inclusion" into code words for quota systems and discrimination worthy of the China Cultural Revolution.

THE KAREN VS. CARUSO

                                                Oct. 25, 2022
EXCERPT: Bass thrives on the make-nice “consensus building” “partnering” “coalition-making” bureaucratic no-man’s-land lingo on which most government inefficiency, stagnation, constipation, is built. Remember, this is a person who said she would need two mayoral terms to have any impact on the cataclysmic problem of homelessness in L.A.. Talk about a ploy. Talk about setting your sights low.

 

New!

The long-awaited sequel to LTSEWH! You read them in the awful L.A. Times, San Francisco Chronicle, airline magazines, even this website! You even bought the original LTSEWH book! Now, fifteen years later, here it is---this time spectacularly laden with profanity!---Less Than Satisfying Encounters With Humanity II! Inane and insane encounters as only Rense can experience, and relate. The decline and fall of civility---including the author's---in this, the horrific 21st century! Three hundred and twenty pages' worth! Illustrated by Rense himself! (Well, everybody's got to have a hobby. . .)
Cover by David Allen.

If it’s opera in Italian, you ain’t supposed to know nothin’ about Italy. You can just sit there and dig on it.”
