I hope that Donald Trump is aware that, at least in part, the reason he won the Republican nomination was a result of a media campaign to get him there. I wouldn’t go so far as to suggest that there was an actual “behind closed doors” conspiracy, but I do think that, in the minds of many members of the
They’re at it again! After yet another horrific and fatal Muslim attack, this time in London, the thought police have jumped into action. THIS time, it was Mark Rowley, senior counterterrorism officer to the rescue. The body of an innocent American woman was not even cold yet and Mr. Rowley hastened to say: “I must emphasize that so far we
On July 29 the 4th circuit appeals court of North Carolina struck down a law passed in 2013 by the legislature of that state designed to reduce the incidence of voter fraud. The court, comprised of one Clinton and two Obama protégés, opined that the law was discriminatory in intent. There are numerous similar challenges to such laws in process
When writing my piece yesterday on “The Liberal Mystery” I was reminded of a modern phenomenon that I find particularly irritating. I am referring to instances where a value laden adjective is co-opted as a proper name. The example at hand is, of course, the term “progressive” by which liberals now announce their fealty. How clever! Why wouldn’t everyone want
First of all, they don’t even like the term “liberal”, preferring instead the term “progressive”, which, apparently, is much MORE progressive! And much more to their liking. None-the-less, no matter WHAT they call themselves, they remain a bit of a mystery. To me, the essential liberal mystery is their amazing rigidity of thought. They simply do not alter or change
During this rather unusual, to say the least, election cycle, it is more important than ever for American voters to keep their eye on the ball. The democrats and their media sycophants want to make this election about style. And, I will admit, stylistically Hillary Clinton is more “presidential” than Donald Trump. She has, accordingly, been rising in the polls.
I no sooner wrote an open letter to Mr. Trump this morning, when I turned on the radio to learn Mr. Trump has refused to endorse Paul Ryan’s re-election campaign saying that he’s “not there yet.” Now obviously this is tit-for-tat for Mr. Ryan’s recalcitrant delay in endorsing Mr. Trump. And, as is often the case, Mr. Trump has a
It is said that one of the main features that makes the United States Constitution a triumph of political and social philosophy, is not just the fulfillment of democratic principles that guarantee that the will of the people will prevail. It is also that it provides safeguards to PROTECT the minority from the majority. This truth has been proven time
Well, it’s FINALLY over! Her speech that is. There was so much “blue smoke and mirrors” that there really isn’t much content to comment on. The speech was, in essence, a falsehood followed by a lie followed by a misstatement followed by a deception followed by a prevarication followed by an exaggeration followed by a dishonesty then followed by a
How many times? FIVE? TWENTY? ONE HUNDRED? ONE THOUSAND? How many times do they expect us to believe them? How many times do the expect us to accept their declarations, issued nearly every day now, that jihadi terrorism has “NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM”? We might buy these declarations if Islamic terror was a rare event. We might chalk up
