Last weekend confirmed it. If there were ANY doubt that America is in the throes of an epidemic of mass murder, there isn’t any longer. TWENTY NINE innocent people dead and 53 injured in LESS THAN TWENTY FOUR HOURS, in two separate massacres (El Paso, TX, and Dayton, OH), and just a week before that, there had been yet another
Dear readers, I must confess that, so far, I haven’t watched the Democratic debates closely. My plan has been to start watching when they whittle down the ranks of participants to single digits. I couldn’t help, however, taking a peek at some of the debate shenanigans that have drifted by on the Internet, and a couple of points are worth
Among the legends of Major League Baseball non is quite so enduring as the “curse of the bambino.” As any fan of the Boston Red Socks knows all too well, the legend involves the most famous baseball player that ever lived, George Herman Ruth, otherwise known as “the Babe.” In 1918 the Red Socks management made the colossal mistake (one
They’re at it again. April, May and June were a few months of relative quietude on the topic of border security. When the caravans began to get violent and “asylum seekers” began to clash with police along Mexico’s southern border, and then, even in Tijuana and other cities on Mexico’s northern border, media coverage surreptitiously dried up. The video footage
This essay is continued from Part One, posted on 7/13/19. The next category of fakery to mention is faked RACIAL IDENTITY. Apparently, coveted minority status in America has become SO advantageous that people are actually faking it! Two examples come immediately to mind. First is the presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s claim of Native American ancestry. Ms. Warren used this claim
They’re EVERYWHERE! Fakers are all the rage. Lately there have been so many high profile fakers, they’re hard to keep track of. And, as the art form has evolved, there are now many categories of fakery. So, as a public service, I present a short list of blatant high profile fakers. You can thank me later. The first type of
Back in the day, American Presidents were held to a different standard than they are today. Patriotism was required. Draft dodging individuals like Bill Clinton would never have found themselves in the Oval Office. Love of country was de rigueur. Anti American zealots like Barack Obama wouldn’t have stood a chance. A healthy dose of common sense was also mandatory.
Over the weekend the New York news media literally gushed over what they termed was, and I quote, a “heartwarming act of kindness.” The editors at WCBS Radio were so touched by the story that they broadcast it every twenty minutes for nearly 24 hours. CBS Channel 2 Television ran the clip numerous times. Sky News picked up the story
America’s chief winer and malcontent is at it again. It seems that Nike’s human mascot, Colin Kaepernick, is aggrieved yet again. This time the source of his discomfiture is nothing less that the Betsy Ross flag! Why? The colonial flag is racist, you see. How so? Well it was created back when slavery existed in America. So, as a symbol
On July 7, the Gallup Organization released the results of a survey of one thousand Americans that found that only 45% were “proud to be American.” My first thought was, how can this be so? Has the continuous carping of Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, Hillary, Omar, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez and their ilk warped the national consciousness? Have malcontents in academia and
