Who allowed these people to co-opt the word “progressive”? Since when did a group of ill-tempered, generally juvenile and always myopic individuals, lacking in common sense get to wear the banner of “progress”? Isn’t there some sort of lexicographic police force that monitors this type of thing? Shouldn’t syntax officers break down their doors, and shout: “Halt!…Put down that adjective!…Back
On this day of gratitude and thanks, I, like millions of other Americans, will take a moment to reflect. Although Thanksgiving is acknowledged to be just that, a day of thanks, our increasingly secular society seems to be a little vague on the nature of the thanks that we are giving. While we can easily identify WHAT we are thankful
Recently the Vice President-elect, Mr. Mike Pence, had the misfortune to attend the Broadway play “Hamilton”. I say “misfortune” for two reasons. The first reason is the play itself. Although I have not seen the play in person, I have listened to every “song” on iTunes. (For me, a musical play is to be judged first and foremost by the
Well, I never thought I’d see the day. I never thought that this would ever happen! Not a chance! No way, Josè! But it HAS happened! I’ve actually done it. Ladies and gentlemen, much to my amazement, I’ve cancelled my lifelong subscription to Playboy Magazine!!! Why has this come to pass? Let me explain. Dear readers, as a dyed in
In my post yesterday (See “And Now: The Losers (Part One)”) I discussed the “Biggest Loser” in the Trump/Clinton contest, Hillary Clinton, of course. But, in addition to the big kahuna, there were many other losers in this election, and THEY are the subject of this essay today. So, lets enumerate some of them, in no particular order: 1. CBS,
In my post from Saturday, I wrote about the heroes of the 2016 race for the presidency (see “Unsung Heroes, 11/12/16”). It is now time to write about the losers. Mrs. Clinton, of course, takes Best of Show in the loser category. I say this without any particular enthusiasm or joy, however. In fact, if she hadn’t slept through the
The protests continue. New York City, Chicago, Oregon. College campuses. They have been covered with exquisite detail by the media. They have been egged on by professors with axes to grind. They have also been energized by people who are paid by a variety of left wing groups to do so. In fact, since they are being paid for these
It’s easy to see that Donald J. Trump is THE hero of this election cycle. His unwavering self confidence, together with an acute understanding of what, exactly, is wrong with America, pulled off a Republican victory against ALL odds! There are, however, unsung heroes, that, I believe also deserve our gratitude: 1. Julian Assange. Without his well researched “leaks” and
Just a couple of weeks ago the liberal media, in concert with leftist commentators through out the land, were HORRIFIED that Mr. Trump might dare to legally challenge the results of the election if foul play was suspected. What a menace to our country! What a trouble maker! What a traitor! What a dangerous man! NO one uttered a WORD
Legacy Zero Posted 11/10/16 Barack Obama has finally made a statement I agree with. After nearly a decade of listening to this man spout clichés, tired aphorisms, silly nostrums, liberal platitudes and outright lies, Mr. Obama has FINALLY uttered something with which I can agree. In the last few days before the election, Mr. Obama declared, in an apparent (but
