MORE ON THE STEPHANOPOULOS “SCANDAL”

Peter Schweizer, author of the immediate best-seller “Clinton Cash\’, and a man who was grilled by George Stephanopoulos, the host of ABC News\’s “This Week” program, has written a piece for USA Today, in which he takes us well beyond the now-famous (infamous?) $75,000 of contributions Mr. Stephanopoulos has contributed to The Clinton Foundation. It is must-reading...

GARY BETTMAN: A REAL MAN

My wife and I had the great pleasure of watching our five year old granddaughter\’s dance recital yesterday afternoon in Northern New Jersey.  The overall show was wonderful, heartwarming and genuinely entertaining.  And our granddaughter was great (Ok, it\’s grandpa and grandma talking, but – at least in our eyes – she really was). This, believe it or not...

HOW WILL OAKLAND CHILDREN LEARN ANYTHING NOW?

If you eliminate school suspensions for actions that make it difficult – sometimes impossible – for teachers to teach anything, how will students learn anything? Excerpted from Jill Tucker\’s disheartening article at sfgate.com: Mouthing off in class or failing to follow a teacher\’s instructions will no longer lead to suspension in Oakland schools, a ban that will...

MAUREEN DOWD\’S IGNORANT SNARK-FEST

Here is as much of New York Times op-ed columnist Maureen Dowd\’s ignorant snark-fest  about the war in Iraq as I can stand to put up (you can read the rest, if you care to, by clicking here): It isn\’t about what we know now. It\’s about what we knew then. It is simply not true, as Republican presidential aspirant Scott Walker said on Friday, that “any...

BALTIMORE HOMICIDES: THE UNMARCHED

If you click here, you will find the Baltimore Sun\’s list of the  last 100 homicides in the city of Baltimore. You will find that the list goes back to December 20 of last year, and that there already have been 93 homicides in the city so far this year — with the summer months yet to come. You will also find that 90 of the 100 homicide victims are Black (and two others are...

KILLING AL-SAYYAF

All congratulations to our brave delta forces, which carried out an extremely risky operation to kill abu sayyaf, a senior member of ISIS and – it would be hard to overstate the importance of this – its chief financial operative. And all credit to President Obama for okaying this operation, which required him to ignore his standing promise to the left that there would be no U.S. boots...

A TYPICAL DAY WITH MY WIFE….

So we\’re walking through Macy\’s.  And for the fourth or fifth consecutive time, a woman directly in front of us is, shall we say, large sized.  Okay, let\’s be honest here. Fat. A couple of them should have had “pass”and “do not pass” embroidered on the back of their jeans.  This prompts me to say to my wife, “what is it...

TRYING TO SOLVE RACISM BY CREATING MORE OF IT?

I have lost count of how many times have I written that racism cannot be solved by creating more of it… …and here I am, having to write it again. Excerpted from a Wall Street Journal article which was posted at foxnews.com: A complaint Friday alleged that Harvard University discriminates against Asian-American applicants by setting a higher bar for admissions than that...

BLACKISH: A CLASH OF OPINIONS

Kyle Drennen, of newsbusters.org, has put up a relatively lengthy swatch of dialogue from Wednesday\’s episode of the ABC TV show “Blackish”. He feels that this was a frontal attack on Black people who dared to break the mold and become Republicans.  Personally, I disagree.  I think it is an excellent give-and-take that presents two perspectives of this issue in a...

THE CLINTON FOUNDATION SCANDAL (CONT.)

Just how deep are the Clinton\’s ties to mainstream media?  How many media organizations have kicked in money to the increasingly foul-smelling Clinton Foundation\’s coffers? Excerpted from Dylan Byers\’ article at politico.com – which I strongly urge you to read in its entirety: NBC Universal, News Corporation, Turner Broadcasting and Thomson Reuters are among more...

CHRAZY CHRIS STRIKES AGAIN

This was either the Quote Of The Day or the latest installment of the Chrazy Chris series.  It was a tough call, but I decided on Chrazy Chris. From yesterday\’s “Hardball” show, while speaking of the war in Iraq, we have this gem: “I have a theory. My theory is that WMD had nothing to do with that war. It was a sales piece. The whole idea of WMD, even the...

WAS THE AMTRAK TRAIN ATTACKED?

Yesterday it was reported by CBS News Philadelphia.  Today other media venues are jumping in. Was there an attack on the Amtrak train before its fatal derailment?  Was a rock thrown through its window?  Was it shot at? Information is too sketchy to talk about at this point, and there is no proof of anything.  But it certainly is going to be looked into. To be continued.

$30 MILLION IN 16 MONTHS. TO WHOM? FOR WHAT?

The New York Times is reporting that Bill and Hillary Clinton made $30 million dollars in the last 16 months…making speeches. Does it seem a bit odd to you that two retired politicians, which is what they were during that period, could amass that kind of money for talking in front of audiences?  Is it possble that the Clintons were influence-peddling?  Just a bit...

DZHOKHAR TSARNAEV\’S DEATH SENTENCE

After 14 hours of deliberation, a jury has recommended that dzhokhar tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon terrorist/murderer, should be put to death. It couldn\’t happen to a nicer guy.  Personally I almost never support the death sentence.  But for this subhuman filth?  I would pull the switch myself and sleep like a baby that night. May he rot in hell for eternity….with his...
