This commentary is directed especially to African American and Hispanic American citizens in anticipation of the upcoming election. First, let me say that I do realize that I am in no position to speak FOR Hispanic Americans nor African Americans (not being in either category myself), and that that is not my purpose here. As a concerned citizen, however, and
Remember my essay about Hillary’s poor health a couple weeks ago? Well, quite a few other commentators have also posted on this very important issue. The response from the Democrats has been that questioning Hillary’s fitness to serve in the most stressful job on our planet is somehow sacrilegious. How they could possibly argue that a frank look at the
A man and woman are having a conversation over coffee and the morning newspaper: Her: Will you look at this article? Him: The one on Huma Abedin? Her: Yes. It says that she’s divorcing Anthony Weiner. Him: Well, there’s a surprise! Her: Meaning what? Him: Well, the only mystery about that, is why it took her so long! Her: You
Among Arab leaders, sympathizes, protestors and commentators, one hears usage of the term “Israel” only to be condemned. We are all familiar with the mantra “Death to Israel” and the phrase “Israel, the little Satan”, etc. The preferred term among these speakers is, of course, “Palestine.” In the view of many modern Arabs, Palestine was a bright and shinning Arab

My commentary today revolves around an incredibly pervasive lie. I will refer to it, accordingly, as the “lie that keeps on giving.” The lie I am referring to is one that is told again and again. It is a lie that is pervasive. It is heard on national news. It is heard on international news. It is spoken by news
Yesterday, the world learned, again, of a horrific attack carried out in the name of Islam. This time the attack involved a suicide bomber and took place in southern Turkey, at a WEDDING ceremony. The perpetrator is believed to have been aligned with ISIS and the attack is believed to have been a reaction to increased security measures carried out
Earlier today I received a link from Gina Garver to a post from a Dr. Jennifer Gunter. Dr. Gunter’s post was a critique of a letter written by Donald Trump’s personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, presumably at Mr. Trump’s request, attesting to his fitness and overall health. Please go the huffingtonpost.com for the original letter. What follows is my “critique
This is a follow up note on my last post “Critique of A Critique” which listed my criticisms of a letter by Dr. Jennifer Gunter concerning Donald Trump’s health as affirmed by his phyician, Dr. Harold Bornstein. Please see my last post for details. There is one more point I’d like to make that I didn’t include in my original
As this presidential campaign goes into full swing the issue of Hillary’s health has become more and more troubling. Information concerning this very important issue is hard to come by, as most of it is being assiduously gaurded by the Clinton campaign. Edward Klein raises the issue in his book, Blood Feud, which was subsequently reviewed in the New York
