Alec Torres, of nationalreview.com, has written a piece detailing eleven incidents, in recent years, in which people claiming to have been the victims of hate crimes – racial and gay-bashing – have lied about what happened. In most instances the accusers, either for personal gain, to make a political/ideological point, or just to cause trouble, were, in fact, the...
Is there such a thing as not biting the hand that feeds you, but biting the hand that you feed? Few newspapers are more loving, more loyal to Barack Obama and his administration than the New York Times. But, at least to one of its more prominent reporters, the Obama administration not only withholds necessary information, but is ready, willing and able to be punitive about...

As regular readers know, I use a lot of sources, both right and left, to write this blog. One of the key rightward sources is dailycaller.com. But I have to tell you, this site has so overloaded itself with ads you have to wade through before finally, at long last, getting to the article of interest, that I\’m using it less and less. No I don\’t want to play party poker. I...
Popular demand often causes sales and hit shows to be held over. Somehow, though, I doubt that many people are looking forward to a reprise of winter. I mention this because, days after the (ostensible) start of spring, central New Jersey is about to be hit with a couple more inches of snow. Does this ever end?
It used to be a fetus – that is, a human baby developing in a woman\’s uterus. But – if the fetus is lucky – the amniotic sac has been injected it with a chemical solution – usually saline – to kill it. Then, very often, a dilation and curettage (D&C) takes place, to dismember this once-living entity, so that its pieces and...
Well, the mystery of Malaysia Airlines flight #370 is over – at least according to the country\’s Prime Minister, Najib Razak, who has just announced: “(It has been) concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor and that it\’s last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth. This is a remote location, far from any...
Today\’s quote comes to us from yunis al-astal, a “lawmaker” from hamas-controlled Gaza, speaking on hamas-controlled TV this past March 6th. As reported by israelnationalnews.com, (complete with an accompanying video), here is what al-astal had to say about Israel and about Jews – not just Israeli Jews, but Jews in general: “Intoday\’s show, we...
On Saturday, I blogged about the remarkable degree of ignorance displayed in the left wing blogosphere – and plenty of its pals in mainstream media – regarding blogger Matt Drudge\’s claim that he just paid his ObamaCare penalty – which, unless you think you know more than the United States Supreme Court, is, in fact, a tax. These folks derided Drudge for lying about...

This is something of a shot in the dark, but here goes. I have written about a half dozen children\’s books. Most of them are copyrighted (only the newest couple are not). Unlike this blog, the books are entirely apolitical. Just fun, somewhat offbeat, stories for children in the 4 – 9 year old range (the age appropriateness varies from story to story). My grandson, who is...
Yesterday I wrote about kathleen kane, the Attorney General of Pennsylvania – a Democrat – who gave a free pass to five fellow Democrats from Philadelphia who were caught red-handed accepting bribes for their votes. kane’s rationale for abandoning the prosecution? They were all Black, and therefore it must have been racially tainted. (Never mind that Whites were also...
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people\’s money.”: Margaret Thatcher Illinois is a fiscal mess. It owes almost 6 billion dollars in unpaid debt. People who do business with the state are waiting for months to get payment. And its most well-to-do citizens are already taxed to the hilt. So what is the Democrat...
