The relentless procession of American mass shootings marches on: Chicago (Lawndale neighborhood), 7/7/22, four dead; Gary, Indiana, 7/5/22, 3 dead; Chicago (Hyland Park neighborhood), 7/4/23, 8 dead (including children); Uvalde Texas, 5/24/22, 22 dead (including children); Buffalo, New York, 7/14/22, 10 dead. And, in addition to these “headliner” events, there continues a larger and relentless undercurrent of gun deaths, owing
“Perfidy – Everywhere perfidy!” -John Leith Derwent The Oxford English Dictionary defines “perfidy” as deceitfulness, often in the context of disloyalty and treachery. And, although Derwent’s exasperated lament was written in 1884, it appears no less true even to this day. What ELSE to call it when: •”ANTIFA” fascists, purveyors of violence, riots, threats and intimidation (all standard operating procedure
We all know that members of the human race do not, at times, hold beliefs that are completely logical and self consistent. Less than perfect reasoning is an undeniable attribute, at times, of being human. Wishful thinking, lore, superstition, non sequiturs, contradictions and the like have been part of human cognition since time immemorial. We also know that humans sometimes
On this day, June 14th, in 1777, the Continental Congress formally adopted what has become known as the “Betsy Ross Flag” (although seamstress Ross did indeed sew the flag, it was designed by Francis Hopkinson) as the official flag of what was then known as the “United Colonies.” It was comprised of thirteen stripes, alternating red and white, to reflect
Dear liberal Democrats, I would have thought that the last 18 months might have prompted a wholesale questioning and re-examination of your political and social opinions. And, perhaps, some of you may have done so. But for many, I understand, that that isn’t the case. To those, I would ask you to consider what has happened during the last year
Today’s acquittal of Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann is but the latest example of a liberal jury giving a pass to someone who is clearly guilty, because that person is, apparently, on the correct side of the political spectrum. In case the reader hasn’t followed the Sussmann “trial” closely, I would point out that Sussmann ADMITTED to lying to the FBI
“We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.” -George Orwell as quoted by journalist Richard Grenier. On this Memorial Day, 2022, I want to thank those “rough men,” especially those who gave all for us, and who thereby have given us everything, and want
I’ve sometimes heard it said that “all religions meet at the top.” I’ve interpreted that to say that, although the particular details of the world’s religions are many and varied, they all espouse a moral and compassionate view of the world that leads to lives lived righteously. This view was especially prominent in the 60s and 70s. It was held
As indicated in my essay, “Proving The Unprovable, Part One,” from yesterday, the recently released documentary, “2000 Mules” by filmmaker, commentator and author, Dinesh D’Souza, makes a compelling case that the 2020 American Presidential election of Joe Biden, was tainted by fraud. In fact, during the movie he “crunches the numbers” showing that the election fraud existed on a scale
A number of years ago my wife and I witnessed an amazing phenomenon. We found ourselves visiting the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. As we walked into the entrance of the mall, my wife’s iPhone literally CAME ALIVE. It began chiming and displaying banner ads for some of her favorite stores, Brighton, J. Jill and others. She had NOT
