Last week I posted an essay on the tragic assassination of NYPD Officer Miosotis Familia (see Paranoid Violence, 7/12/17). In that article I focused on the under reported danger that unmediated or undermedicated paranoid schizophrenics pose to society. But there’s another very important aspect to the case that bears discussion. It is of paramount importance to acknowlede that when the
Charlie Gard breaks our hearts. He’s 11 months old and has been blessed with a loving family. He is a very handsome baby and he was born in the United Kingdom where he can look forward to a level of security and prosperity that much of the world would envy. Yet he has been born with a terrible disease. He
While Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian attorney is being blown up to absurd proportions, there is curiously little being said about a DIFFERENT Russia connection. Unlike Donald Trump Jr.’s activities, which were perfectly legal, the OTHER Russia connection is highly illegal. The other Russia connection is a felony violation of several bribery statutes. So why have we heard
The media (and that genius Tim Kaine) have been going CRAZY regarding Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian Attorney who claimed to have documentation of Hillary Clinton’s illegal dealings with Russian Corporations (including the deal that awarded 20% of US uranium enrichment to a RUSSIAN COMPANY!!). Kaine is tossing around word’s like “collusion” and “treason”! REALLY? TREASON??!! NOT SO
Yesterday Officer Miosotis Familia was laid to rest in New York City. She was murdered by one Alexander Bonds, reportedly a paranoid schizophrenic. One of the saddest aspects of this tragedy is Bond’s girlfriend had brought him for medical evaluation days before the murder and even called the police on the day of the attack. Authorities in both cases dismissed
Mayor Del Blasio just made a visit to Hamburg, Germany. It wasn’t official City of New York business. Actually it wasn’t official American business of any sort. He went there to support and rally the protestors of the G-20 summit. The same protestors that physically injured 196 police officers with rock throwing and brawls in Hamburg. The same protestors that
On this Independence Day a topic of considerable import comes to mind: the right to vote. The right to vote has been correctly described as one of the main “pillars” of democracy. It’s delineated in Amendment XV of the Constitution and is further described in Amendments 19, 24 and 26. In fact, it’s referenced in our Constitution more than any
I suppose it was inevitable. It was just a matter of time. A leftist college professor tweeted what I suspect many of his leftist “comrades”, in their heart of hearts, secretly wish for: the assassination of President Trump. The professor, Lars Maischak, of Fresno State University, tweeted: “To save American democracy, Trump must hang. The sooner and the higher, the
I know that there’s nothing new in pointing out that there’s hypocrisy in politics. I don’t think I will startle readers with this profound insight. However, the DEGREE of hypocrisy in contemporary American politics, being egged on by a partisan and rather dim press corps, is reaching new, unprecedented heights. It’s galling to see just how blatant and shameless the
Nancy Pelosi is demanding to see the new Republican healthcare law that’s being written. She’s howling in righteous indignation. WAIT A MINUTE! Is this the SAME Nancy Pelosi that famously said that Congress should “pass the Affordable Care Act and then GO SEE WHAT’S IN IT”?…Why, YES it IS! She must have FORGOTTEN! And, if you think about it, since
