Every day we hear predictions from various “pundits” of various disciplines – most often the political variety these days. And, more often than not, they dispense their wit and wisdom with an air that suggests there is no doubt whatsoever about the veracity of their issue – that they could not possibly be wrong. It\’s enough to give a regular...
There\’s news on the Kansas Senatorial front. The Kansas Supreme Court, which is “dominated by democratic appointees” (so says the New York Times) has voted that Chad Taylor, the Democrat primary winner, thus Senate candidate, can withdraw from the race – even though his withdrawal letter does not meet the legal criteria for doing so. They must have learned their law...
Are you aware that, after an intensive nine month federal investigation, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been cleared of having anything to do with the closing of several lanes on the George Washington Bridge for a few days last year? I\’m sure you recall the story itself. How could you not, given that every mainstream media venue known to mankind made leering allegations...
Yesterday I put up a whimsical little blog about a mistake CNN made while reporting the Scottish secession vote, in which it showed the then-current tally of 52% in favor and 58% against; a total of 110%. But CNN ain\’t the only one. Excerpted from an article at ABC News in Australia: AnIndian television news anchor has been sacked after referring toChinese president Xi Jinping as...
Scotland voted 55% to 45% in favor of staying a part of the United Kingdom – thus avoiding several potentially disastrous situations which would have occurred if it had seceded….and creating others based on how the UK convinced (maybe bribed is a more accurate word) them to stay. I don\’t know where to go with this one. At least not yet. Let\’s watch, listen...
Let me start with a question: do you want members of ISIS – the radical islamist terrorist group which has taken over about 75,000 square miles of Syria and Iraq, routinely tortures, crucifies (physically, not verbally) and kills its enemies – Muslim and otherwise – by the thousands, and has specifically threatened to do the same in the United States, to have valid U.S...
So how is ObamaCare doing these days? You barely ever hear a thing about it from our mainstream media — understandable given that a few NFL football players being disgustingly violent to their family members, is much more important than whether or not our health care system is working. Investors Business Daily had an editorial about this just yesterday, which I think…actually, I...
Ok, ok, I admit that it\’s probably just an inadvertent error (I think). But you have to admit that this screen capture from CNN\’s reporting of the secession vote in Scotland, taken between 3PM and 4PM, is a bit of an eye-catcher: It\’s hard to win, even with a 52% majority, when the other side has 58%. Or, maybe, 10% of the exit poll sample answered...
Though we won\’t know for sure until later today, the vote to determine whether Scotland will stay part of the United Kingdom or become an independent country appears to be very close. It would be difficult to overstate the importance of this vote – which could literally create a war between Scotland and the rest of the UK over who gets what and for how much – and...
If you have any common sense at all, this probably will be no surprise to you. (If you don\’t, stop reading now; there\’s nothing for you to see). Excerpted from an advisory from judicialwatch.com: Federallaw enforcement sources in El Paso say that a United Statescongressman called their office to prohibit contact with JudicialWatch in the aftermath of a disturbing...
No need to explain this one. Just read along. As excerpted from Ashley Pratte\’s article at breitbart.com: Jolie Davis, chair ofher YAF Chapter, had copies of the Constitution as well as literature at thetable informing students of Penn State\’s “speech code”policies. On the 8,500acres of Penn State, there are only 12 small spaces designated as...
I am sitting in my urologist\’s waiting room, and the TV is playing Queen Latifah\’s morning show. At the commercial break, there was an ad for Cortizone 10… which promised to eliminate “feminine itch”. When I was growing up, if you found a girl who had a “feminine itch”, it didn\’t mean she needed cortisone, it meant you wanted to go...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Robert Gates, President Obama\’s first Secretary of Defense – a man he valued so greatly that he held him over from the Bush administration. Here is what Mr. Gates had to say about whether or not the United States needs ground troops to fight ISIS: “Therewill be boots on the ground if there\’s to be any hope of success inthe...
Someone must have forgotten to lock the closet after feeding time. Because Vice President Joe Biden, somehow, got out. And here is what he managed to “accomplish” in just one day, as excerpted from Sean Sullivan\’s article in the Washington Post: Afterleaving a rally in Des Moines, Biden unexpectedly made news at adiner when he seemingly opened the door to...
On July 7th, I blogged about the smug assurance given us about a possible ebola outbreak. from Laurie Garrett, a Senior Fellow on global health at the Council of Foreign Relations who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1996 for chronicling an ebola outbreak in the Congo. Here is what Ms. Garrett had to say at that time: “I think the last thing we need to be concerned about is...
