Good morning kids. Oh happy day, the GOP and Democrats have reached some sort of funding deal that prevents a government shutdown. Eh, if you read the piece, it’s the usual political posturing, can-kicking and other nonsense that means more arguments and bullshit in the coming weeks. The big deal with this was the Democrats’ insistence…
Good morning kids. The focus yet again is on Minneapolis and two totally shocking stories. Not really. First, as a number of you noted in yesterday’s comments the Emshpritzening of America’s sweetheart, the de-clitorized criminal immigration fraudster and incest practitioner Bro-Fo Omar was likely a hack amateur-hour fake out. But this incident reeks of inauthenticity. She…
Good morning kids. And the word of the day is “deescalation.” And it makes my head explode for reasons that should be all too obvious to anyone with eyes to see. Those who are using this word are the same ones who objected to Israel going after Hamas after its mass-wave pogrom that slaughtered scores of innocent…
The recent shootings in Minnesota are a natural result of the breakdown in respect for the legitimate activity of government, and the blurring of the line between legitimate protest against government policy, and violent action to force political change. That it is financed and managed by outside actors is made possible by the failures in…
Good morning kids. Remember back in the halcyon days of Barack Hussein Obama when he proposed the creation of some kind of a domestic national security force that was to have more funding, perhaps even double that of the Defense (now War) department. Try as I might, I’ll be damned if I can find an…
Good morning kids.

Hugh Latimer was the Bishop of Worcester, and a convert to the ideas of the reformation, for which he was tried and convicted of heresy, and along with his friend Nicholas Ridley, burned at the stake in 1555. They, along with Thomas Cranmer, who was burned a few months later, are called “The Oxford Martyrs.”…
Good morning kids. I suppose every so often the weather is something that should be mentioned. The forecasters are warning about a massive winter storm that’s primed to hit much of the nation this weekend. Several emergency declarations have already been issued as a massive winter storm barrels toward more than 35 states, putting more than 200 million…
The Cuban people have been suffering under the yoke of a particularly brutal communist dictatorship since 1959. They were propped up by the USSR for 30 years, with oil and industrial machinery and weapons (so many weapons!) in return for being a convenient thorn in the side of America, and a fomenter of revolution across…
Good morning kids. As someone who has written professionally for many years, including books, screenplays and editorials, I can honestly say that one thing I am particularly proud of is, believe it or not, a single word! Chutzpocrisy For the sake of those who are not regular readers of this column, it is a mashup of the…
