Over this past weekend, quite a bit of water had passed under the bridge. A brief recap: 1) Two bombings occurred yesterday in the NY Metro area, one in a dumpster in the Chelsea area of Manhattan and one in a trash barrel along the planned route of a charity run in New Jersey. The race had been, thankfully, delayed,
As children we were taught a simple lesson: In the face of name calling, we were to refrain from fighting and return an insult with the response: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never harm me.” Good advice, to be sure. And as we matured into adults most of us rose above the name calling of
Runaway immigration has it’s advocates. The democrats like it because they believe that it will, in the future, generate huge numbers of, presumably grateful and loyal democrat voters. Big agriculture and big business like it because it will provide lots of workers willing, presumably, to work for very low wages, keeping the cost of farming and production low. Idealists like
There is a group of American Muslims that have been fulminating over a 911 memorial built in Owego, New York. The reason for their displeasure is a plaque on that memorial that uses the term “Islamic Extremists”. The group says that term would mislead people into thinking that ALL Muslims are extremists, although there is NO mention of the word
One of the most inexplicable things about the state of contemporary American politics is what I will call the “strange bedfellows” syndrome: Again and again we see cooperation, support and even collusion between groups that are POLAR OPPOSITES and should, in fact, be adversaries. The first, and most inexplicable, case of strange bedfellows is the strong alliance between so called
Since posting my essay yesterday titled Fifteen Septembers, a number of people have told me that they were surprised that, of the seven “lessons of 9/11” that I enumerated, I chose to list an AWARENESS OF EVIL as the first one, and, by implication, the most important one. I have replied that it was chosen to “cover all bases” as
Well, Dr. Lisa Bardack of Mount Kisco, New York, went out today on a limb. In her two page letter describing Hillary Clinton’s medical condition that was released today, Dr. Bardack took great pains to appear thorough and professional. She described quite a number of laboratory tests and gives some numerical results as well. She lists portions of her physical
This past Sunday was number fifteen. Fifteen Septembers. Fifteen years. Two Towers. Four jets. One flank of the Pentagon. Three thousand souls. Two presidents. Two wars. Many determined enemies. Fifteen Septembers later, America has moved on. As it HAD to. We treated the few lucky enough to be merely wounded. We buried our dead. We prayed to our creator for
Unbiased citizens following Hillary Clinton’s recent campaign must have increasing and unsettling concerns about her health. Several respected doctors including Dr. Drew Pinsky and ophthalmologist Dr. Marc Werner, and others (myself included), have expressed concerns that Hillary Clinton shows signs of severe neurological disease. Since there has been a monumental effort on the part of the Clinton campaign to hide,
The recent Chinese snub of Obama’s arrival at Hangzhou Airport caps off an 8 year history of international disrespect toward our beloved leader that rivals anything that I can remember in international diplomacy. I mean, Idi Amin was treated better! As most of you know Mr. Obama’s arrival at Hangzhou was not only missing the fanfare that such an occasion
