If yesterday was an average day in the USA, about 19 Black people were murdered – disproportionately young men like Michael Brown. And about 18 of them were murdered by other Black people – disproportionately young men like Michael Brown. If the 15 days since Michael Brown were average, those numbers jump to about 285 Black people being murdered –...
In the previous blog, I admonished readers who buy into the premise, touted by Democrats, their Accomplice Media, the human cartoon called Jessie Ventura, and others, that the August 6th, 2001 memo provided to President Bush during his daily briefing, warned him of 9/11. I wrote that they should “READ the damn thing and see for yourself how non-specific it was about what kind of a...
In case the last blog didn\’t concern you enough, we have this from Cathy Burke of newsmax.com, which was drawn from a CNN article: Aformer CIA officer said Thursday he has no doubt Islamic State (ISIS)sleeper cells are already planted on U.S. soil. An unnamedU.S. intelligence official told CNN there\’s already an indication ofISIS sleeper cells in Europe that could target U.S...
It used to be that the most recognizable lies were things like “The check is in the mail”, “No, that dress doesn\’t make your butt look fat” and “I promise I\’ll respect you in the morning” (yes, I cleaned up that last one). Now they are things like “If you like your insurance plan you can keep your insurance plan”, “al-qaeda is...
I assume you are aware that Michael Brown was shot and killed by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson, and that there have been numerous protests there, and elsewhere, demanding “Justice For Michael Brown”. But how often have protesters been asked to define what “Justice For Michael Brown” means? I think I might have once or twice, but...
Should Saint Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch head the investigation of Michael Brown\’s shooting death” Or should he recuse himself – and, if so, why? First I\’ll put up both sides, and then I\’ll tell you where I stand. Reasons for recusing: -McCulloch comes from a family with a good number of members in the police force: ...
In 1692-93, there were a series of “witch trials” in Salem, Massachusetts (and other towns as well, though Salem is far and away the best known), in which Calvinist Puritans – with Minister cotton mather leading the way – put twenty people suspected of witchcraft to death; most of them women and none of them witches. The Salem witch trials were a...
As you may remember, Scott Brown is the relatively unknown Massachusetts Republican who, after iconic Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy died, managed to overhaul his inept opponent, Martha Coakley (who now is running for Governor), and win a special election to finish Mr. Kennedy\’s term. He then ran for a full term. But Massachusetts reverted to form, and...
A question for President Obama: If ISIS is an international terrorist threat which is specifically targeting the United States, and you are keeping our borders porous…. ….does it not follow that ISIS terrorists will avail themselves of our porous borders, enter our country, and perform terrorist acts here? What are you going to do about this? Practice your putting game?
First, let me show you what Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said today. Then I would like to ask Sec. Hagel a few questions. Speaking of ISIS, Secretary Hagel said this: “Theyare an imminent threat to every interest we have, whether it\’s inIraq or anywhere else. They are…assophisticated and well-funded as any group we have seen. Theyare beyond just a...
Is the Ferguson fix in? Until the Obama administration I always had at least some level of confidence that if the Department of Justice stepped into a situation things would be handled fairly. But under Attorney General eric holder, we do not have a Department of Justice. We have a Department of Just-Us. And I have no confidence at all that its treatment of the Michael Brown case will...
Italy has just announced it is sending machine guns and anti-tank weapons to the Peshmerga Kurds, who are on the ground fighting ISIS. How many have the United States sent? U.S. air strikes from a safe distance are fine, and greatly help the ground forces…provided there are ground forces there, with the armaments to be effective. And, since U.S. boots are not on the ground...
Today\’s quote comes to us from movie director, New York Knick fan, and civil rights activist, Spike Lee. On Tuesday Night, during a discussion of the Michael Brown death on Anderson Cooper\’s CNN show, Mr. Lee said this: “Ido not think you should be killed in this country because allegedlyyou steal some cigarillos. I don\’t think you should be killed inthis country...
From an article just posted at Fox News: Hamassaid that an Israel airstrike in Gaza killed three of its seniormilitary leaders early Thursday. The Palestinian militant group claimed that the men — identified as Mohammed Abu Shamaleh, Mohammed Barhoum and Raed al-Attar — were killed along with three other people in a strike on a four-story building near Rafah, a town in the...
Nancy Pelosi talks a good game about the California water shortage. But does she give enough of a damn (or is it dam) to inconvenience the voters in her district? Excerpted from Valerie Richardson\’s article in the Washington Times: TheEndangered Species Act has wreaked havoc for decades on ruralcommunities, but a newly filed lawsuit could force SanFrancisco...
