New Column Needs a Name!
Posted August 14, 2020 By Mrs. WrightNot Tired of Winning Yet CXXXVIII
Posted August 13, 2020 By John C WrightTrump promised during his campaign that we would get tired of winning, that we would cry out, “It is too much! I cannot take all this winning!”
Well, it is true. So much winning is happening, that I cannot keep up.
Here are some stories I’ve missed in recent days and weeks:
- Israel and Arabia normalize relations.
- Executive Order for China Flu Disaster Relief; Payroll Tax Deferral; Student Loan Repayment Deferral; Eviction Relief. You can read the Executive Order and Memoranda here, here, here, and here.
- Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship.
- Revoking Hong Kong normalization (Long overdue, in my opinion).
- Overruled an unconstitutional Obama overreach encroaching on local planning & zoning.
- More judicial nominations. And more.
- TikTok and WeChat cut off by Executive Order. Here and here.

All Men Dream of Earthwomen, Noetic File 7.0 The Fairness of Amphitricia
Posted August 12, 2020 By John C WrightAll Men Dream of Earthwomen, Noetic File 7.0 The Fairness of Amphitricia, is now posted.
Noetic File 7.0: The Fairness of Amphitricia
The theme of the earthmadness is followed and amplified, and the true identity of the narrator is first called into question.
In the opening passage, the narrator indulges in an intimate physical description of Amphitricia. Visualizations or eidetic representations hereof are forbidden.
Students are reminded that the manners and customs of those days are not as they are now. Poets of the classical period were influenced by many psychic vectors adverse to normal human consciousness, as, so, perhaps, are the men of all ages, including ours.
Nonetheless, the contrast with the more elegant and dignified image in file 7.7 is remarkable, and an example of classical periphrasis.
It is noteworthy that the Archival symbol mentioned in file 7.6 is unchanged from antiquity.

Prayer Request
Posted August 8, 2020 By John C WrightIt is becoming more and more evident that the political process is no longer a contest between two parties with a similar vision of a constitutional republic with liberty and justice for all, differing only on matters of tactics and priorities.
In this generation, it has become a contest between heaven and hell, and the evil is satanic indeed, ranging from infanticide before birth to euthanasia before death, with lies, more lies and ever more damnable lies, violence, hatred, pederasty, sodomy, self-castration, vulgarity, ugliness, filth, corruption, riot, despair, and anarchy throughout.
As with most such contests here on Earth, the side of heaven is staffed with sinners, the poor, the weak, the broken, the despised, harlots and publicans, with an odd Pharisee thrown in for ironic contrast.
On the other side are Lords of Hell, roaring, large, coated with gold and glory, dignity and pomp, honored for their wisdom and compassion, adored as demigods, flattered, lauded, praised, larded with all the rewards this world can bestow.
Perhaps you are tired of hearing the next election is the most significant in the history of the Republic. I am sure a dying man suffering one more drastic surgery after a series to save his life would likewise much rather his next operation be routine. An election which was not a plebiscite on whether to end or continue our national existence would likewise be preferable.
Prayer is needed. More things are wrought by prayer than men know.

All Men Dream of Earthwomen, Noetic File 6.0 The Pressworkers
Posted August 5, 2020 By John C WrightAll Men Dream of Earthwomen, Noetic File 6.0 The Pressworkers, is now posted.
Noetic File 6.0: The Pressworkers
The narrator is introduced to the media, and fails to deduce the obvious. The source of the madness of Earthmen is revealed, if only by allusion.
In file 6.2, we have some of the most disputed sections of the text, including archaic references and anachronisms.
Ironically, this includes the kind of trivial or quotidian chit-chat young lovers are wont to exchange, that the narrator in file 5.2 said he would not include. This is one of the reasons why that file is held to be a later interpolation.
File 6.3 contains a brief statement which seems to be introductory to the material in Noetic File 7.0. Nonetheless, the traditional divisions into file and subfile are here followed. Visualizations or eidetic representations of this subfile are forbidden, for obvious reasons.
