Trump’s non invitation to John McCain’s funeral services was, of course, expected. The enmity between the two men was extreme and was no secret. And, although I am, by and large, an apologist for the President (often LITERALLY an apologist), I must say that McCain’s disdain for President Trump is justified. During the 2016 campaign, Candidate Trump made the outrageous
It’s hard to believe, but none-the-less true, that it’s been LESS than a year since the first allegations of “sexual impropriety” by Hollywood Producer, and liberal activist, Harvey Weinstein surfaced (October, 2017). In less than the 12 months that followed, a tsunami of sexual allegations against him and countless other public figures (overwhelmingly male), broke upon the “shores” of our
One hears much chatter these days about “hate speech”, “politically incorrect” speech and “micro aggressions.” Football star Cam Newton LOST A LUCRATIVE ENDORSEMENT CONTRACT for answering a question about running “routes” (running patterns in a planned play) from a female sports writer by saying, verbatim, that it was “funny to hear a female talk about ‘routes’.” What’s so bad about
As my readers probably know, I am no fan of our President’s penchant for Tweets and verbal sparring with his critics. However, there’s one aspect to his Tweeting that I do endorse, and that is Mr. Trump’s willingness to call out blatant anti Americanism when it surfaces. Earlier this week,Andrew Cuomo, the democratic governor of the State of New York,
There’s an old saying about things that get “out of control” that still rings true today. It applies to political situations as well as non political. If you’ll excuse the mild vulgarity, I’ll quote it here: When you’re up to your ass in alligators, it’s hard to remember that you set out to drain the swamp. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
Forget registered Democrats. They’re a lost cause. No amount of reality testing seems to effect their voting, or even their political thinking. The rationalizations they use to avoid reality are often amazing. Our booming economy is the result, get this, of Obama’s fiscal policies. ONE THOUSAND dollars in the pockets of America’s middle class is, get this, “crumbs”. Achieving parity
Yesterday a loyal reader sent me a comment (thanks RP) on my last post (Chicago, Chicago: A Helluva Town 8/6/18) on the outrageous explosion of murder and mayhem in the once great city of Chicago. He raised the rhetorical question of why we don’t hear more about what should be an important and even sensational story. As far as I
Although the phrase “Helluva Town” originally referred to New York City in Leonard Bernstein’s musical “On The Town”, the phrase is often sung in the Wilber/Fisher song “Chicago” (One version of which was made famous by Frank Sinatra). Although the original lyrics say “toddling town”, it’s often sung: “Chicago, Chicago: It’s A Helluva Town”. Turns out that this phrase has
