Good morning, kids. Tuesday and it’s back to work and school after the long Labor Day weekend. Or at least it would be if we were living in normal times. But this is the “new normal” where we are through a glass and darkly. I don’t usually respond to criticism but in this instance I…
Good morning, kids. Labor Day and the start of a new week and also erev Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year 5782 which begins at sundown tonight. So, l’shona tovah, a good and joyous new year and I hope you all are inscribed in the Book of Life. From what embarassingly little I do remember from Hebrew school…
During the cold war there were reliably stupid pronouncements emerging from Europe almost daily about how America was a war-mongering danger to the world and we should all just disarm and the unicorns would come out of hiding and all would be peaceful and beautiful. But it was pretty obvious that those doing the blathering…
Before you set your hair on fire; yes, the author is a leftist.

Woke Institutions is Just Civil Rights Law People have generally misunderstood…
Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and the remnants of the nation formerly known as the United States of America continue crumbling into dust as a result of Joe Biden “transitioning” the Pax Americana into the Pox Red China via the disastrous Afghanistan bug-out.

Good morning, kids. Thursday and one day after Joe Biden’s teleprompter defecated all over the American people with the insane proclamation of success in Afghanistan while simultaneously blaming Donald Trump for failure in Afghanistan, as an unknown number of American citizens, possibly numbering in the hundreds, were abandoned and basically told to FOAD, trillions in…
Good morning, kids. Midweek and let me be the first to wish you all a happy Nazi Invasion of Poland Day! How many of you are still struggling to send out cards and buy last minute gifts? Well, to mark the 82nd anniversary of the start of one of history’s most disastrous pivotal moments, I…
Good morning, kids. Tuesday and I’m reminded of Gerald Ford’s words just after being sworn in after Richard Nixon’s resignation over Watergate: “Our long national nightmare is over.” Except the events of the past two weeks, culminating in yesterday’s ignominious and criminal exit from Afghanistan, only serve to remind us that this nightmare we are…
Good morning, kids. Start of a new week and at the top, one person is reported dead and a million are without power in the wake of Hurricane Ida slamming into southern Louisiana, just southwest of New Orleans late yesterday. Reports of considerable damage and flooding are coming in, which are sure to mount as…
