THE PARAGRAPH OF THE DAY

Have you noticed that when it gets very warm they call it “Global Warming” and when it gets very cold they call it “Climate Change”? Do you realize (I\’m assuming you do) that, either way, it keeps the billions (yes, billions) of grant money dollars coming? Today\’s paragraph comes to us from Brian C. Joondeph, writing for americanthinker.com. ...

THE QUOTE OF THE DAY

Today\’s quote comes to us from Allen West, a military veteran and former (maybe also future) congressperson from Florida.

THE END OF THE “HANDS UP – DON\’T SHOOT” FRAUD

“Hands up.  Don\’t shoot”.  It has been the rallying cry for the Michael Brown protesters/rioters/looters/anarchists virtually from day one. Why?  Because Michael Brown\’s friend, dorian johnson told us Brown had his hands up in surrender and begged Officer Wilson “Don\’t shoot” before Wilson wantonly gunned him down in cold...

CNN: POURING MORE GAS ON THE FERGUSON FIRE

Is CNN doing its level (or, more accurately, unlevel) best to pour gas on the Ferguson, Missouri story, and keep it as racially incendiary as possible? Why do I ask this question?  One reason is the material CNN has been pumping out, day after day, which, it seems to me, does just that. For example, here is a link to cnn.com\’s current lead article, written by Ray...

FERGUSON AS A SYMBOL

The Washington Post\’s Krissah Thompson has an essay in today\’s Washington Post, titled “Ferguson is now a symbol, not a place”. I agree with the title of the essay.  And I agree with a lot of what Ms. Thompson says within it. But when she compares it to Selma, Alabama?  I have to speak up. Here are Ms. Thompson\’s references to that city: Thoughit...

THE NEW YORK TIMES: AIDING AND ABETTING THE FERGUSON MOB

The New York Times has done a lot to aid and abet the Ferguson “protesters” – including rioters, looters, arsonists and assorted other scum of the earth – by spending months slanting its coverage in a racially incendiary way, while giving relatively little coverage to Darren Wilson\’s side of the story. An excellent case in point is yesterday\’s paper, in...

THE SCHUMER FIRESTORM

As you are probably aware, there has been a lot of media coverage regarding comments by Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) which are being construed as critical of ObamaCare. They aren\’t.  Mr. Schumer\’s criticisms are not of ObamaCare itself.  The criticisms are that, politically speaking, too much emphasis was being placed on ObamaCare and not enough...

IS MICHAEL BROWN A MCGUFFIN?

When explaining how movies are made, the great director, Alfred Hitchcock, used to talk about a “McGuffin”.   A McGuffin is something in a movie that has no intrinsic value in and of itself, but is used to further the plot.  An excellent example would be The Maltese Falcon, where the quest for a small, falcon, made of precious materials, is the reason for...
