Looking past the November 2018 midterm elections, the Presidential race of 2020 looms like a boogeyman over the DNC encampment. And it has them frightened. It boggles the mind to contemplate, but in several polls of registered Democrats, their FIRST choice for 2020 is…(are you ready for this?)… Joe Biden! That’s right, creepy Joe Biden! The one who can’t keep
In this short essay, I’ll describe a few simple examples of the biased media reporting that is spewn at our President nearly constantly. This morning, several news sources quoted fire officials in California who criticized Mr. Trump for his earlier remarks on the wildfires ravaging that state. These officials criticized Mr. Trump for “disparaging brave first responders”. However, when one
In a striking display of rhetorical ignorance, French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking today on the one hundredth anniversary of the end of World War One, got it WRONG. In a short sighted and poorly veiled insult aimed at President Trump and contemporary America, Macron cautioned the world against… the rise of NATIONALISM!…. Really?…. It’s nationalism, Monsieur Macron, that you’re afraid
Political writers have long cautioned that censorship harkens the end of a free society. Free speech, they tell us, is the cornerstone of Democracy. The framers of our Constitution recognized this and, accordingly, made protection of free speech, literally, the FIRST AMENDMENT. They couldn’t imagine a free America without freedom of speech. Sadly, such an America is NOT far off.
In a song by the contemporary rock group, Five For Fighting, John Ondrasik sings: “Tuesday came and went… Like a helicopter overhead” And so it did. Midterm election Tuesday FELT like a helicopter flying overhead. The noise was deafening. The shadow raced across our landscape at breakneck speed, as if to scorch the land. Like a helicopter, the earth shook.
Up front I should admit that I don’t know for certain what will happen this coming Election Day. There are many forces at work. There are two things that may favor the Democrats. The first is the American tradition of voting for the opposite party following an election sweep such as what Donald Trump and the Republicans accomplished in November
The WalkAway campaign has gone viral. Hundreds of thousands of people have signed on to it and millions have watched their video. The campaign is clearly a manifestation of the disappointment and even anger that millions of Americans have come to feel toward the contemporary Democratic Party, liberals and leftists. They are walking away from the anti Americanism, the hatred,
It has happened again. Another hate filled lunatic, Robert Bowers, has massacred a group of innocent people, this time a congregation of Jewish worshippers in their synagogue while AT PRAYER, in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Once again we are repulsed by a savage and senseless act. Unfortunately, it is all too easy to recall that there have been many such massacres in
The main stream media “coverage” of the Walk Away Campaign and its march on Washington this past Saturday could not have been more disparaging. Casey Michele, writing in Think Progress, said, verbatim, that the Walk Away march “has all the signs of a grifting operation”, i.e., petty swindling. (How he came up with “petty swindling” at an event where ALL
Dear friends and readers, I am in Washington, DC, this morning to participate in a march organized by a group called: #walkaway. If you are not familiar with #walkaway, it is an organization founded by Brandon Straka, a mere seven months ago. As Brandon freely admits: he is a former liberal that decided to “walk away” from the Democrat/liberal/leftist/progressive movement
