Good morning kids. Tuesday and leading the news is the utterly infantile, irresponsible, completely ginned-up outrage at the President for his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his remarks during the press conference. Let me, as a marginally better informed ordinary observer, try and unpack this as best as I can. Excluding the period…

Morning Report (7/16/2018)
Good morning kids. Start of a brand new week so let’s get right to it. The big story is the Trump/Putin Summit in Helsinki which is happening as we speak. The Democrat-Left-Media complex is having a fit since, a) they believe Russia rigged the 2016 election and b) that President Trump colluded with them to…
Morning Report (7/12/2018)
Good morning kids. Lots of stuff to cover so let’s get to it. While the Brett Kavanaugh nomination is obviously still at the top, the actual storylines surrounding it are as old as the stains on Hillary’s Watergate-era 18 Hour Girdle. Once again, bereft of any legitimate concern or criticisms of Brett Kavanaugh, the Democrat-Left…
Morning Report (06/26/2018)
Good morning kids. Tuesday and the continued, increasingly unhinged behavior and rhetoric coming from the Democrat-Left-Media complex and its supporters ramps up, even as by all accounts they have lost control of the issue and the messaging with the public; the Trump base and crucially more and more of a large segment of heretofore people…
Elections Have Consequences, But It’s the Other 1,460 Days That Matter
Once again a presidential election looms. And indeed, the phrase “elections have consequences” is being bandied about as it always is every four years at this time. Only now, considering the abject destruction wrought by Barack Obama and his minions to our economy, our culture, our security, the rule of law and our way of life over…
A Complete Lowlife. And Then There’s Trump.
Let me state this right off the bat. What Donald Trump said 11 years ago is completely disgusting and beneath the pale. As a Ted Cruz supporter, and also given the fact that Mike Pence is Trump’s running mate, the whole thing is made exponentially more painful to have to endure. But let’s step…
Counter-Counter-Counterpoint
Well, just as in real life, we at CJN seem to be in the midst of a bit of a contretemps about Mr. Trump, Mrs. Clinton, the 2016 Election and the state of the union today and going forward. That’s not a bad thing; it’s in keeping with the spirit of this website as well…
Plus Ça Change, Plus La Même Chose
Despite being what can only be described as a certifiable model train nut, I’ve also been an armchair model airplane enthusiast for most of my life. My dad built and flew them when he was a kid back in the 30s, and, in fact his brother was a partner in a well-known company from the…
“We Renounce Tourism In All Its Forms”
In December of 1988, during the waning days of his administration, President Reagan announced that the PLO “had finally met the American conditions for direct talks after more than a decade.” When pressed, [Secretary of State George Schultz] stated that Yasser Arafat had met the “three-part test for substantive dialogue” to commence. He specifically…
Of Parallels and Wasted Opportunities
As some have rightly postulated, most notably and eloquently Andrew C. McCarthy, there are frightening parallels between the international Marxist/Leftist/Progressive movement and “radical” Islam (“radical” in quotes because most adherents to the faith don’t see the butchery being done by other adherents as radical at all). Both are totalitarian and absolutist, relying on both…
