Most contemporary political speeches are forgettable utterances that, more than anything else, bore the daylights out of the listening public. There are however, some speeches that, rightly, scare the hell out of us. On Feb. 9, 1946 Josef Stalin addressed the Communist Party Congress and warned that “uneven developments” within the capitalist world would soon set off “violent disturbances” and
Abortion does have some things going for it. The procedure is CHEAPER, by a long shot, than a full term delivery. It disrupts a woman’s life and life style much less than a pregnancy would. It’s also SAFER, statistically, than term delivery, either vaginally or by Cesarian section would be. Terminating a pregnancy will often lessen the burden on society
One of the so-called “rising stars” of the Democrat Party is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (NY 14th District Democrat Congresswoman). This spirited young woman is a most curious combination of extreme political venom while looking, dressing and acting like a young and provocative ingenue. Most observers know, however, that she’s had a very poor relationship with truth. Readers will recall that, on
Skullduggery! The link given below is to a video from Fox New. It delineates what many of us have suspected all along: that the individuals LEADING (not necessarily the rioters) the January 6th “insurrection” were “false flag” assets that capitalized on the disillusionment of Trump supporters to craft an “insurrection” scenario designed to do maximum damage to Trump and the
The relentless procession of American mass shootings marches on: Chicago (Lawndale neighborhood), 7/7/22, four dead; Gary, Indiana, 7/5/22, 3 dead; Chicago (Hyland Park neighborhood), 7/4/23, 8 dead (including children); Uvalde Texas, 5/24/22, 22 dead (including children); Buffalo, New York, 7/14/22, 10 dead. And, in addition to these “headliner” events, there continues a larger and relentless undercurrent of gun deaths, owing
“Perfidy – Everywhere perfidy!” -John Leith Derwent The Oxford English Dictionary defines “perfidy” as deceitfulness, often in the context of disloyalty and treachery. And, although Derwent’s exasperated lament was written in 1884, it appears no less true even to this day. What ELSE to call it when: •”ANTIFA” fascists, purveyors of violence, riots, threats and intimidation (all standard operating procedure
We all know that members of the human race do not, at times, hold beliefs that are completely logical and self consistent. Less than perfect reasoning is an undeniable attribute, at times, of being human. Wishful thinking, lore, superstition, non sequiturs, contradictions and the like have been part of human cognition since time immemorial. We also know that humans sometimes
On this day, June 14th, in 1777, the Continental Congress formally adopted what has become known as the “Betsy Ross Flag” (although seamstress Ross did indeed sew the flag, it was designed by Francis Hopkinson) as the official flag of what was then known as the “United Colonies.” It was comprised of thirteen stripes, alternating red and white, to reflect
Dear liberal Democrats, I would have thought that the last 18 months might have prompted a wholesale questioning and re-examination of your political and social opinions. And, perhaps, some of you may have done so. But for many, I understand, that that isn’t the case. To those, I would ask you to consider what has happened during the last year
Today’s acquittal of Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann is but the latest example of a liberal jury giving a pass to someone who is clearly guilty, because that person is, apparently, on the correct side of the political spectrum. In case the reader hasn’t followed the Sussmann “trial” closely, I would point out that Sussmann ADMITTED to lying to the FBI
