The sheer number of inappropriate sexual behavior allegations currently in play in America’s public forum has made it difficult to KEEP TRACK of them all. As a result, a very important fact about this phenomenon may not be as clear as it should be. In order to demonstrate the very important fact to which I refer, I’m going to divide
Dear readers, I have some very pleasant statistics to report: Cyber Monday’s online revenue topped 6.6 billion, making it the biggest shopping day in history. Black Friday online revenue was 5.5 billion. Even old fashion “brick and mortar” retailers enjoyed 137 million visitors over the Black Friday weekend, up 33% from 2015. All of this reflects, of course, surging consumer
As Thanksgiving was approaching this year, I took a few moments to reflect on the MANY things that I and my fellow citizens have to be thankful for. And, as I did so, something deeply disturbing occurred to me: my generation (baby boomers) has raised two generations of Americans (Gen-Xers and Millennials) who do not know what GRATITUDE is. The
It was quite surprising on Monday to learn that North Korea (the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, DPRK) was put back on the United States’ list of State Sponsored Terrorism by President Trump. But it was surprising for only ONE reason, namely: What the HELL was the DPRK doing OFF that list in the first place??!! North Korea was put
Brief commentary on selected news items: >Recently I posted a short piece to the effect that America was FINALLY catching on to the extreme bias in America’s major media against Donald Trump (Snippets 11/15/17). I was pleased, therefore, to see the results of a new Quinnipiac Poll: FIFTY EIGHT PERCENT of Americans DISAPPROVE of the way America’s media covers President
First off, I should make it clear that I DON’T know whether or not Judge Roy Moore engaged in the sleazy behavior he’s been accused of. If his accusers are being truthful one could rightfully question his fitness for higher office. But how do we know if the accusations are truthful? The timing of the accusations, a couple of weeks
>In a recent interview, WiKi Leaks’ founder Julian Assange was asked to comment on Democratic Congressman, and Trump/Russia collusion story teller Adam Schiff. Assange responded candidly and simply: “Adam Schiff is not a credible person”. Yes Mr. Assange, tell it like it IS! >Much to the chagrin of our leftist media, conservative news commentator Sean Hannity on Fox tops cable
A number of months ago I was on a short hike in the woods alone at dusk. For 20 minutes or so there was no one on the trail except for me. On my way back, far off down the trail, I could just see, in the gathering gloom, another hiker walking toward me. As he got closer, I noticed
It’s hard to believe that it’s only been a month, but it’s true: the current groundswell of sexual abuse accusations began in early October with a certain Mr. Harvey Weinstein (see my previous post “Have No Shame”, 10/8/17). Since then it seems that half of Hollywood, the music industry, the government and even the sports world have been implicated in
>Although CNN and the NYT are crowing about Democrats taking the Governorships of New Jersey and Virginia, the results of neither race should have been a big surprise to them. Hillary carried both states in November. The surprise would have been if the Democrats lost. Sorry guys, nothing here to write home about. And, keep in mind, that Republicans did
