So a Muslim immigrant complains about negative Muslim stereotypes in American media. He then goes on a violent rampage and attempts to kill multiple college students and professionals. In response, an OSU group produces this video: While there is nothing to suggest the attack was aimed at the LGBT community, Muslims, Blacks, or any other minority group, the one category conspicuously missing in the video. is a white, heterosexual, Christian male. Discuss. Read more
Here. Nothing really to say. Just thought it was interesting. Odd what is seen as problematic by some can be loved and adored by others. Read more
Happened on November 26. When Curtis Samuel scored the winning touchdown against Michigan, apparently the roar of the 110,000 fans registered a 5.79 on the Richter Scale. Now, as the article says, it’s more in fun, and not an apples-to-apples comparison to a real earthquake. But you have to admit! That’s why playing Ohio State Stadium brings new punch to the fabled 12th Man, which is so important for football. All sports benefit from a home field advantage. But football,... Read more
Here: Yep. It’s not that I rejoice with great joy over President Trump. But you have to admit, that is some sneering, condescending, snobbish arrogance in those clips. Not just pundits and comedians. Actual journalists. And not just arrogance, but a clear and obvious inability to consider the possibility that anyone would see things other than the way they see them. One of Trump’s strengths was the arrogance of the Left. I don’t blame them for being wrong, after... Read more
When it comes to Trump’s threat to free speech, The Federalist keeps things in perspective. True, nobody on the left says that speech should be banned. But that reminds me of an old adage my Dad said the Army used back in the day. He said they told recruits that the Army couldn’t make anyone do anything. But it sure as hell could make them wish they did. That seems to be the modern progressive approach. Not calling for censorship per... Read more
When a Muslim posts an anti-American rants and then proceeds to emulate the ISIS inspired Nice attacks by doing the same at Ohio State, it can only mean one thing: time to ponder the motive! St. Corbinian’s Bear reflects. Yes, it’s true. One of the reasons Hillary lost is the growing impatience Americans have with BS. If Trump appeared to be the king of BS, he was merely a one person example of what our cultural institutions have become.... Read more
By Scott Eric Alt. This is no anti-pope Francis hater. This is a writer who has defended Pope Francis more than once. And yet, just as I was, he appears bothered by Francis’s response – or non-response – to the request for clarification of Amoris Laetitia. And as I said, it wasn’t just the refusal to address the questions, but the not-too-subtle swipe at those who were asking the questions. Fundamentalists do that sort of thing, declare the case settled or you... Read more
Wild fires happen, and we’re almost used to them along the West Coast. But in forest draped, mountainous Tennessee, the fires have been particularly devastating, and unexpected. I don’t know much, as the coverage has been game calling at this point: what is happening, how many lives lost, how many evacuated. While it’s happening, I expect that since our main concern should be those in harm’s way; prayers and any help, and there are already many avenues to help through,... Read more
And thank you. Mr. Jim Delligatti, who invented the Big Mac, died today at the age of 98. A franchise owner, he came up with the new sandwich fifty years ago. There was a time when Big Macs were my go to meal in college. Back then I could eat that way and not gain an ounce. I haven’t had one for a long time, but in honor of Mr. Delligatti, I might get one soon. Funny the people... Read more
Here. I was shocked, too. Especially the part about revoking citizenship. But it’s not as if this is new. We’ve gone over the peak and are heading back down when it comes to freedom of expression. It used to be you could get in trouble for burning the flag. But then, under the great liberal revolution of the post-WWII era, we concluded that any speech, no matter how hurtful or offensive, must be protected. Sure, you can’t threaten people or... Read more
