Forget politics for this one post… …and join me in congratulating Willie Randolph, the great second baseman for, then third base coach of, the New York Yankees (yes, he played a few years for other teams, but like Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson, he will always be known as a Yankee). Today, before the Old Timers\’ day ceremony, a plaque was dedicated in Mr...
This excerpt, from Amy Chosick\’s shake-your-head-in-disbelief article for the New York Times about Hillary Clinton\’s sensitivity to being called elitist, is a classic example of a punch line that writes itself: For the past several summers, Bill and Hillary Clinton have done what New York City\’s moneyed residents have done for decades: They spent their vacation amid the...
Reposted from my blog of May, 2013, when Anthony Weiner, hero of the online genital exhibitionism crowd, was still entertaining the thought of winning political office: What worries me about Anthony Weiner\’s mayoral candidacy? It is not his personal internet/sex issues, It is his wife. Huma Abedin, who was Hillary Clinton\’s second in command at the State Department, belongs to a...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Bernard Goldberg, former multiple-emmy winning reporter for CBS News, who, I suspect, effectively ended his career there by having views which collided with his newsroom\’s liberal/left orthodoxy. Here is what Mr. Goldberg said to Bill O\’Reilly on yesterday\’s “O\’Reilly Factor”, regarding media\’s chronic...
Here is the first paragraph of Gabriel Malor\’s blog for hotair.com – one you should definitely read in its entirety: In a plea agreement that was unsealed today (PDF), a former chief executive officer of red-light camera company Redflex has pleaded guilty to bribing Columbus and Cincinnati elected officials. Karen Finley, the former CEO, was pressed by Democratic officials in both...
The latest news on dynann roof\’s massacre of 9 innocent people whose crime was being Black churchgoers: -We are now told that his tattoo-laden, nipple-ringed father is a physically and mentally abusive, domineering man who was no father to dylann roof or his half-sister Amber (please to not take this as an excuse for what he did). According to Daniel Bates\’...
An issue has arisen concerning whether dylann roof\’s massacre of churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina was an act of racial hatred – i.e. violence against people based on their race – or an act of terrorism – i.e. violence against random people because they belong to some race, ethnicity, or live in a particular nation. The answer is that it was self-evidently both. I...
This is dedicated to The Lost Tribe – i.e. the Jews, and non-Jews, who support Israel yet still can figure out a way to support Barack Obama and his administration. Excerpted from Scott Johnson\’s blog at powerlineblog.com: The pro-Israel group Z Street had its application for tax-exempt status held up at the IRS. When founder Lori Lowenthal Marcus asked why, she was told that IRS...
Vice President Joe Biden said, today, that he will announce his intentions regarding a possible presidential run in August. I am guessing that his son\’s tragic illness and death is the reason he has not already done so. I am also guessing – nothing more than a hunch – that he will jump into this race. And if he does, he is going straight up against Hillary Clinton...
Here is syndicated political cartoonist Gary Varvel\’s take on Donald Trump\’s “candidacy”: Well said.
It appears that the “Run Warren Run” effort by moveon.org and Democracy For America, to recruit Elizabeth Warren as a presidential candidate, has come to a close. According to MSNBC\’s Alex Seitz-Wald, (and who would know better about hard-left groups than MSNBC?), they have given up, and are now devoting their resources to Bernie Sanders. If true, this...
A question for dylann roof: if you believe that a lot, maybe most, Black people are criminals and rapists, why would you take it out on Black people who are in a church, studying the bible and praying? Aren\’t those the Black people least likely to engage in those acts? Not that I expect any answer from a racist subhuman maggot like you, but I thought that, at least for...
Some news stories leave you unsure of whether you should laugh, cry, or just shake your head in amazement. In that connection, here is the beginning of Luke Broadwater\’s article in today\’s Baltimore Sun: Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is in San Francisco this weekend to be sworn in as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors – a position she says...
Today, President Obama had this to say about the horrific church massacre in Charleston, South Carolina: “At some point we have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn\’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency.” Does this man ever miss an opportunity to dump on the USA? For Mr. Obama\’s...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Baltimore\’s own Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who famously told us that the street thugs who rioted, looted and burned down buildings after Freddie Gray\’s death were given “space to destroy”; who stands accused of telling the police to “stand down” during the riots, when something like 160 police...
