Is the ku klux klan running Virginia Tech (and a bunch of other colleges and universities around the country)? At first blush, the question seems absurd, doesn’t it? But before you dismiss it in that way, please think about how the klan, and its like-minded fellow travelers view humanity. They see us not as human beings, but as races, sexes and sexual orientations. And they want to...

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has, for years, been a bastion of left wing partisanship, so outside the norm that it was, by far, the single most overturned circuit court in the country. But is it now? I wonder. When Donald Trump became President, the 9th – a 29 judge court – was comprised of 19 Democrats and 6 Republicans, with four vacancies. But, with two new appointees...
Is this really true? Are Democrats really going to spend the next two years in a ridiculous, hapless, hopeless attempt to impeach President Trump for colluding with Russia and obstructing justice… …when robert Mueller and his all-Democrat Star Chamber of an investigation, just told us they couldn’t find any collusion and there was insufficient evidence for even one charge of...
Today’s quote comes to us from another U.S. Senator and presidential hopeful no one cares about, Kirsten Gillibrand. Here is her unequivocal denunciation of the National Rifle Association (NRA): “I think the most outrageous thing that’s happened to our democracy is how much fear and division and hatred has been spread. I think the NRA is the worst organization in this country...
Cory Booker, a nondescript former Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, who is now a nondescript first-term U.S. Senator running for President of the United States (and, according to the polls, gaining exactly no traction among Democrat primary voters), has come up with a great new plan – one that is sure (he apparently thinks) to thrust him into the pantheon of presidential contention. Magic...
According to Thomas Grove’s article in the Wall Street Journal,: Russia has withdrawn key defense advisers from Venezuela, an embarrassment for President Nicolás Maduro as Moscow weighs the leader’s political and economic resilience against growing U.S. pressure. Russian state defense contractor Rostec, which has trained Venezuelan troops and advised on securing arms contracts, has cut...
Apropos of nothing political… …we saw Rocketman this evening. Despite an excellent, probably Oscar-worthy performance by Taron Egerton as Elton John, I would give the movie no more than a 5, maybe a grudging 6 out of 10. The attempts to mix supposedly actual events with surreal fantasy material was so intrusive and so contrived that it overtook, and significantly damaged, the overall...
…would the majority religion allow a minority to prevent it from visiting one of its own holy sites…and would be anywhere near as tolerant of that minority rioting if they tried. From Alon Einhorn’s article in the Jerusalem Post: Following the report that Jews will be allowed to enter the Temple Mount for Jerusalem Day, riots broke out on the Temple Mount on Sunday, according to...
Is Adam Schiff worried? Read the following excerpts from Morgan Chalfant’s article at thehill.com, then you tell me: House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Friday asked for in-person briefings from U.S. intelligence chiefs regarding President Trump’s directive that they comply with Attorney General William Barr’s inquiry into the origins of the Russia...
The previous blog discussed, among other things, the fact that, as it has lurched leftward, the Democrat Party has essentially split into two entities, one of them more moderate/mainstream, the other more leftist/socialist. Here is another example of what I am talking about, via the following excerpts from Christopher Cadelago and Carl Marinucci’s article for politico.com: Bernie Sanders...
I, along with many others, have written a great deal about the Democrat Party’s love affair with socialism – an affair that has become more intense as the party has lurched further and further leftward. Here is the latest example of how that affair is progressing, excerpted from Reid Wilson’s article for thehill.com: SAN FRANCISCO — Democratic activists booed former...
A few days ago, President Trump announced that, as of June 10th, he was attaching a 5% tariff on all goods coming from Mexico to the United States unless Mexico did something significant about the illegals streaming from that country into the United States…and that, if Mexico did not act, the tariff would continue to increase each month to a maximum of 25% The immediate result? -Trump...
Today’s paragraphs come to us from Stephen F. Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian studies and politics at New York University and Princeton University…and contributing editor for thenation.com. The following paragraphs were drawn from Professor Cohen’s latest commentary, in which he presents several possible reasons for why “Russiagate”, as he calls it, took...
With my standard imaginary-hat tip to powerlineblog.com’s Steven Hayward, here is a small sampling of the pictures/cartoons he has compiled for this week. I, of course, urge you to click here and see them all:
From Shira Ovide’s article for bloomberg.com, via yahoo.com, we have these opening paragraphs: This is the moment the U.S. technology superpowers surely knew was coming: The U.S. government is preparing to crawl all over Google to figure out whether it is an abusive monopolist. Google parent company Alphabet Inc. and the other tech giants should be quaking in their fleece vests. Bloomberg...
