The Tyre Nichols beating death at the hands of Memphis police is indeed a tragedy. By all accounts, Nichols was an affable and law abiding individual that was dedicated to his four year old son and was close to his mother. He had no criminal record. Body cam video shows Nichols being severely beaten after he was chased down after
Since when, ladies and gentlemen, are politicians in America suddenly expected to be TRUTHFUL? Did I miss something? Has there been some cosmic shift in America’s expectations of politician honesty, which normally runs between slim and none? Yes, it’s true that freshman Republican Congressman George Santos may have been less than completely honest regarding his résumé. Although we hear constantly

Literally, everyone in Washington was aware that this was going on. Where, ladies and gentlemen, is a VALID investigation of
After watching Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky address a joint session of Congress this evening, I offer a few observations.

Dear readers, I think most of us are aware that there’s something “not quite right” in the education of children today. I don’t think, however, that many of us are aware JUST HOW BAD it is. To that end I’ll post several pictures of primary school education in action. These images have NOT been photoshopped. A transvestite “fairy” engaging in
Dear readers, although I hate to say it, I am becoming increasingly pessimistic about the upcoming November midterm elections. Despite the misguided and downright stupid policies and actions of the Biden administration and the Democrat Party, hope for a radical “correction” in November seems more and more tenuous. There are, unfortunately, many factors at work. Firstly is the fractious and
Dear Readers, As some of you may be aware, I have had technical issues with this website for a couple of weeks. I have finally had the chance to remedy them and the site appears to be up and running.
