Yesterday a loyal reader sent me a comment (thanks RP) on my last post (Chicago, Chicago: A Helluva Town 8/6/18) on the outrageous explosion of murder and mayhem in the once great city of Chicago. He raised the rhetorical question of why we don’t hear more about what should be an important and even sensational story. As far as I
Although the phrase “Helluva Town” originally referred to New York City in Leonard Bernstein’s musical “On The Town”, the phrase is often sung in the Wilber/Fisher song “Chicago” (One version of which was made famous by Frank Sinatra). Although the original lyrics say “toddling town”, it’s often sung: “Chicago, Chicago: It’s A Helluva Town”. Turns out that this phrase has
Yesterday a leak from Robert Mueller’s “collusion” investigation indicated the Mueller and his “non partisan” investigatory team are now looking at President Donald Trump’s tweets. The motivation is, of course, to support the contention that Trump tried to obstruct justice in the Michael Flynn investigation and in the firing of former FBI Director James Comey. This is very disheartening because,
Canada has finally released the name of the shooter responsible for yesterday’s massacre in Toronto. Surprise, surprise!… His name is… Faisal Husain!… Surprise, surprise!…A Muslim!… Imagine that! The Toronto PD withheld Husain’s identity for nearly 24 hours, apparently to prevent the people of Canada and the United States from thinking that this horrific attack has ANYTHING to do with Islam
Special council Robert Mueller must be feeling considerable pressure to “deliver the goods.” It’s become quite apparent to EVERY Republican, MOST independents, and even a few Democrats that the Russian Collusion probe is a bust. Not only has he failed to find evidence of collusion with Russia, but Americans have become aware that his past indictments of George Papadopolus, and
FBI agent Peter Strzok says he isn’t biased. That his work with the agency was completely non partisan. That his investigations of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were fair and impartial. He maintains that he has NEVER done anything in “ALL THE YEARS I’VE WORKED AT THE AGENCY” that reflected bias. These are claims made by Strzok to the Congressional
Well, they’ve got their new slogan. As pointed out in a recent post (A New Slogan For The Democrats, 7/6/18) Democrats have a new jingle: Make America Beautiful Again! Clever, isn’t it? I expect we’ll hear more of it during the run up to the midterm elections this coming autumn. And, I can just hear the chorus now: Oh, how
On Monday night they were at it again. An angry mob of protestors gathered themselves on the steps of the Supreme Court to protest President Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to Replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the high court. In fact this amalgam of protestors had formed PRIOR to the actual announcement of Mr. Trump’s choice! The authors of a
In Singapore, not long ago, Kim Jung-Un and President Trump agreed to, AND SIGNED an accord stipulating the DENUCLEARIZATION OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA in exchange for lifting the economic sanctions we had imposed on the Democratic People’s Republic Of Korea (DPRK). Yesterday, North Korea’s Capitol, Pyongyang, called into question that agreement and announced that it felt it was being “bullied”
Well they’ve finally done it. It took several years to come up with. And they undoubtably had the best minds in the Democratic Party working on it, although, admittedly, that’s not saying very much. None the less, after years of concerted effort, the Democratic Party has finally come up with a slogan to battle the masterful one (Make America Great
