I wonder how many people are aware that, until the 1960’s, Black voters mostly cast their votes for Republicans, not Democrats? Well, it’s true. From the average guy on the street right up to iconic figures like Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King, Jr. But, in the 1960’s everything changed. Because Republicans instituted a so-called “southern strategy” of...
What if it were President George Bush, and this was a group he blew off as nothing more than a “jayvee squad”? From Ahmed al-Haj\’s article for the Associated Press, we find out that: A group claiming to be a Yemeni branch of the Islamic State group says it carried out a string of suicide bombings in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, that killed a total of 137 people and injured 345...
Apropos of nothing political…. Sometimes I’m smarter than I look (well, actually I’ve been told that’s not much of an accomplishment, but nonetheless….). Today’s forecast is for rain/wet snow, changing to snow, and a couple of inches of wet snow which will quickly be melted away by warmer temperatures. What a great day to fertilize the lawn. I ran out to Home...
Is this what Barack Obama meant when he said he was going to transform America? Get ready to be sick. Excerpted from Stephan Dinan\’s article in the Washington Times (not the Washington Post, not the New York Times…and certainly not the network news shows): Federal immigration officers released another 30,000 immigrants with criminal records last year, following the 36,000 it...
Yesterday I wrote a half-serious little blog (subject matter intended as serious, presentation intended as humorous) regarding Starbucks\’ latest initiative: to have their “baristas” (that hyperinflated title belongs to the person behind the counter who makes the coffee, hot chocolate, etc.) engage customers in discussions about race. Personally, all I want from...

First the media narrative: -In 2009 Netanyahu came out in support of the two-state solution. -Just before this week\’s election he completely reversed and said, unequivocally there would be no two-state solution. -But now, in today\’s interview with Andrea Mitchell, he said that he was for a two state solution. Therefore Netanyahu is a liar who said what he had to say to be...

Dear Starbucks Isn\’t it pretentious enough for you to call the counter employees who make coffee, hot chocolate, etc. “baristas”, as if bestowing a title on them carries some kind of elevated status, without instructing them to engage me in a dialogue about race relations too? How about just making the coffee, selling me a muffin or sandwich, and leaving me...

Earlier, I mentioned that Barack Obama had floated the idea of mandatory voting. At that time I promised to show you his exact words on the subject. Well, here they are….in rust, with my thoughts in blue: I don’t think I’ve ever said this publicly but I’m going to go ahead and say it now. We shouldn’t, we shouldn’t be making harder to vote, we should be...

Rich Lowry is usually a good read. But he has outdone himself with his latest column, which lays bare the racism and sexism being employed to promote Loretta Lynch\’s confirmation vote, to replace eric holder as Attorney General. Lowry points out – correctly – that racism and sexism are being used as tools by at least some of the people who support her. In this...
