If you’ve read my post from yesterday (A Little Too Prepared) and are STILL not convinced or not completely convinced about the veracity of the observations and analysis contained there in, I have FURTHER evidence for you to consider (thanks again, SW.)! It turns out that several members of the Clinton team behave VERY suspiciously at her podium just after
Well, we may now know WHY Hillary Clinton appeared so well prepared in Monday night’s presidential debate! Hint: it’s NOT due solely to debate rehearsals. I have just received still images from video taken immediately after the debate (thanks, SW). The source is NBC News, so there is no possibility for Photoshop processing. The photos show Hillary bending forward to
>There has been a long running debate among historians as to whether history is PRIMARILY shaped BY individuals, or whether individuals are PRIMARILY shaped by history. Of course, you will say, some of both, undoubtably, occurs. And this is true, of course. But the real argument revolves around the word “PRIMARILY.” Push comes to shove, WHICH is more important? The
It appears that I’ll have to retract one point from my 9/25/16 post titled “The Land of Make Believe.” In that essay I stupidly reiterated statements from authorities in Washington State that no jihadi material was found on Arcan Cetin’s computer. Cetin is the Cascade Mall shooter who cold bloodedly executed five shoppers on September 24. Guess what? Turns out
As Rosh Hashanah draws near I find myself reflecting today on the Holocaust. There is, of course, a lot about the Holocaust to reflect on. I’d like to relate two Holocaust epiphanies that I’ve had: First, a bit of background information on me: I am not an historian. I am a scientist by training, and by temperament. During my school
Just yesterday I posted an essay on Mr. Obama’s “legacy” (“What Legacy?”, posted 9/24/16). That essay turned out, sadly, to be already out of date on the very day I posted it. In that article I enumerated TWELVE separate terror attacks on U.S. soil that have taken place on Mr. Obama’s “watch.” Sadly, that figure is now passè, and there
Well, round one is over! In what may be the most watched presidential debate in history, I think both sides did what they had to do. Mrs. Clinton needed to show that she had some “oomph” in her, and she did that. Mr. Trump needed to show that he had “presidential demeanor” in him, and he did that. Both candidates
Recently Mr. Barack Obama has stated that not voting for Hillary is an “insult to my legacy”! My first reaction? There’s ANOTHER great reason to vote for Trump! Upon further reflection, however, the question that kept coming to mind was: “What the heck is he talking about? What legacy?” As they say: “Kennedy put a man on the moon! Obama
Yesterday I posted an essay on the Charlotte, North Carolina officer involved shooting, or OIS, titled The Nexus of Survival. I received quite a lot of positive comments on the piece, but I did get critical comments by Zen Cycle (not, I presume, his real name!) that are worth discussing a bit further. (If you’d like to read his comments
Another “day off” on Tuesday. Mrs. Clinton, we were told, was doing “other things.” Other important things I’m sure. In a tight race. Other MORE important things. More important than campaigning. In a very tight race….Is everyone buying all this? Is everyone OK with that explanation? And what about Saturday evening’s interview on the NY/NJ bombings, in which she looked
