What follows is a short photo essay on the ongoing saga of Joe Biden. The pictures speak for themselves: The last photograph is, I think, the most chilling, more for what it doesn’t show than for what it shows. Of course, what it shows IS chilling enough; Afghanis cling to the OUTSIDE of a jet aircraft taking off and
Well, NO ONE was expecting great things from Joe Biden. The bar was, shall we say, set VERY low. But even by those very lax standards, Biden continues to not just embarrass himself and our country, but to unremittingly damage both. In addition to his ludicrous gaffs, which he makes EVERY SINGLE DAY IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, the confusion
It didn’t take long. Just a week or two. They didn’t even wait for us to fully leave. Three weeks ahead of our full departure date, the “Religion of Peace” has retaken Afghanistan. Just like that. Without US military might, the Afghan “Army” collapsed like a house of cards. Without the bravery of US fighting men at the ready, no
Although it might initially seem churlish to criticize Team USA Olympic contestant Simone Biles for her catastrophic showing at the Tokyo Olympics, I’m prepared to relinquish any “good guy” bona fides I may have had, because Ms. Biles’ behavior at the games and, especially, the “woke” reaction to it are emblematic of the sorry mess that America’s psyche has become.
As a promotional theme, the New York Times likes to invite the public to read their publication and then “join the conversation.” But the “conversation,” if you want to call it that, has gotten so bizarre of late that “joining the conversation” is likely to challenge one’s sanity. Contemporary America’s “conversation” seems less like a true conversation and more like
In his greatest book, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald, America’s greatest writer, described the sense of astonishment that early America’s European settlers felt as they ventured into this brave new world: “For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face
Well, last weekend wrapped up “Pride Week, 2021.” While most American special occasion celebrations (even very important ones like Arbor Day [April 29] or National Chocolate Day [July 7]) make do with a one day designation, the annual celebration of American weirdness can’t be contained, apparently, in a single calendar day. No, Pride DAY, I’m afraid, just won’t do! Ladies
Multiple sources indicate that hate crime is on the rise in America. Anti Asian attacks have captured most of the headlines of late, but anti-Semitic attacks are also in abundance, and, there’s even a smattering of attacks against other races as well. And, as with many societal problems, New York City is in the vanguard of the increases. And, it
Ladies and gentlemen, it didn’t take long. Joe Biden has been in the White House now for just four months and already our nation and our world are going berserk. And the pace of the developing craziness under Biden appears even more rapid than it was under Obama – and that’s saying something. (See: “Remembering Barack,” 5/17/21). First, Palestine and
Because major American media sources were so forgiving of, and apologetic for, former president Barack Obama, readers may have trouble remembering the nearly constant string of malfeasance and preventable calamities that took place on his “watch.” Let’s revisit some. First, the economy. As summed up by the Boston Globe (no bastion of conservatism, I might add, being, among other things,
