OIL PRICES (CONT.)

As I write this, WTI (West Texas Intermediate) oil is selling at $48.85 a barrel. That is 20% less than the $61.05 of June 23th – exactly one month ago.. NOW why are gas prices within just a few cents of where they were on June 23th? Unless you happen to own a lot of oil stock, if you are not outraged by this you should be.

DONALD TRUMP: DEMOCRAT MOLE? (CONT.)

Earlier, I blogged about the prospect that Donald Trump was a Democrat mole.  Tell me:  would this qualify as a reason to be suspicious?  Excerpted from Kevin Cirilli and Bob Cusack\’s article at thehill.com: Donald Trump says the chances that he will launch a third-party White House run will “absolutely” increase if the Republican National Committee is unfair...

THE QUOTE OF THE DAY

Today\’s quote comes to us from Allen West, former military officer and congressperson, speaking at yesterday\’s Times Square rally against the disastrous Iran “deal” cooked up by President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry: “I want President Obama to know one thing.  You may say that you have done something that no one else has done. You know why no one...

THE BLACK ECONOMIC HOLOCAUST

How have Black people made out during Barack Obama\’s presidency? Hey, they must be doing great?  I mean every poll I\’ve ever seen shows Black people monolithically supporting Mr. Obama and Democrats in general, they they must really love what he has done for them, right? Uh…..right? Well, let\’s take a look at the following excerpts from Larry Elder\’s...

GETTING INTO REPUBLICAN-BASHING MODE: THE WASHINGTON POST\’S REHIRE OF DAVID WEIGEL

david weigel used to write for the Washington Post.  The Post fired him, because his hatred of Republicans/conservatives was so great that he made a series of astonishingly vicious, over-the-top comments about them that made it impossible for the paper to even pretend he could write objectively. But the 2016 campaign is coming up, and there is that pervasive fear that (gasp!!!) the...

DONALD TRUMP: DEMOCRAT MOLE?

Over the past few days, several commentators have – maybe jokingly, maybe not – wondered in print about whether Donald Trump is a Democrat mole.  Their reason is that Trump is a) drawing the preponderance of media coverage just about every day, b) causing less coverage of other Republican candidates, c) tcausing less coverage of the Hillary Clinton scandals...

RICK PERRY RESPONDS TO TRUMP

Rick Perry, former two-time Governor of Texas and one of the seemingly countless targets of Donald Trump\’s nasty mouth, has responded on his web site. For anyone who is unaware, Trump (I\’m about thisclose to not capitalizing his name anymore) said this about Perry: “He put on glasses so people think he\’s smart. People can see through the glasses” That, of...

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

This symbol is currently at the top of drudgereport.com\’s web page: I\’m not sure if it means that Hillary Clinton\’s poll numbers are sagging, or it\’s a graphic depiction of Hubby Bubba when he wakes up in the morning and realizes she\’s the one he slept with that particular night.

HILLARY CLINTON: EVITABLE (CONT.)

Is there an opening – a big, gaping one – for a major player to challenge Hillary Clinton?  Read this excerpt from Eric Bradner\’s article at cnn.com, and decide for yourself: Hillary Clinton trails three top Republican presidential candidates in head-to-head matchups in Colorado, Iowa and Virginia, a new survey shows.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD: A NEW YORK TIMES FRAUDITORIAL

Today\’s lead editorial in the New York Times is a strident, even desperate, defense of Planned Parenthood\’s apparent cottage industry of selling organs for profit. Why do I call it a “frauditorial”?   I can show you with two excerpts. One is from the editorial itself — here are its first two paragraphs: A hidden-camera video released last week purported...

THE COURAGE OF STEVEN A. SMITH

Steven A. Smith is an announcer/commentator on ESPN.  He is also a very courageous man. Here, pulled from Christian Datoc\’s article at dailycaller.com, are three tweets he issued about the #Blacklivesmatter “movement”:  -Where is all the noise about #BlackLivesMatter when black folks are killing black folks? -There\’s nothing wrong when a presidential...

THE QUOTE OF THE DAY

Today\’s quote comes to us from Christian Ferry, Senator Lindsey Graham\’s campaign manager: “Donald Trump continues to show hourly that he is ill-prepared to be commander in chief. The two people most excited about Donald Trump\’s candidacy are Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Because of Trump\’s bombastic and ridiculous campaign, we aren\’t talking about...

AN APOLOGY TO HUFFINGTONPOST.COM

Days ago, I criticized huffingtonpost.com for deciding that news about Donald Trump would no longer be treated as political, but would be relegated to the entertainment section, along with “the Kardashians and The Bachelorette”. Since then, Trump has personally insulted Senator John McCain – he\’s no hero because he was captured – and Senator...

WHY HYUNDAI LOST ME

Hyundai makes a very good car.  But I won\’t be buying one any time soon. I resent its current commercial, which portrays the mother of a young child – maybe a 2 year old – hearing the deal and loudly saying “Holy BLEEP”, while someone (I don\’t remember who) quickly puts his/her hands over the child\’s ears.  Then, at the end, the...

A QUICK QUESTION FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD

Now that, despite mainstream media\’s best efforts to suppress the information, a great many of us know Planned Parenthood has made a cottage industry selling the body parts of aborted babies* – both external (e.g. arms, legs) and internal (e.g. hearts, livers, lungs) – I have a question. Why do they get all the money? Why aren\’t the mothers of these babies...
