How does something like this make a publication like The Wall Street Journal? Of course it is. The press has thrown out all pretense of objectivity with this election. Thanks to Trump, publications and anchors can express unrestrained disgust and contempt for the GOP candidate. And what can we do? Disagree? When Charlie Rose or Erin Burnett or Gayle King express clear and obvious outrage or disagreement with Trump and what Trump is saying, how can we possible call them... Read more
When you insist on saying any scientific research that disagrees is part of some vast conspiracy or the result of partisanship. It took me forever to find this story outside of conservative, religious outlets. Obviously oversight on the part of other outlets. The story I linked to is an editorial. Of course groups promoting diversity are taking immediate action and threatening Johns Hopkins with reprisals if immediate disassociation with the violators doesn’t happen. What a fortunate time we live... Read more
Is here. What Rush Limbaugh didn’t appear to say in the least was that rape is defensible. I’m no fan of Rush, and you’ll notice I seldom reference him. Not that he isn’t right sometimes. Sure he is. My favorite reference is the time he observed that the Baby Boomers are the first generation in history that didn’t have to grow up. Good observation there. Nonetheless, he’s problematic enough for me to look to other sources for opinion. Still, with... Read more
Oh no, the poor Indians. After so many years in the slump, Cleveland has a chance for yet another team to go the distance. That should be cause to celebrate. Ah, but our Big Politically Correct Brother must intercede. It turns out that our good friends in the far north are not going to speak the word. Indian, that is. I know. Eye roll. Nonetheless, it is what it is. My wife is my go to source for this particular hypersensitivity.... Read more
One of the most decisive days in human history. The event that changed the course of human events, dragged England away from Scandinavia and dropped it firmly in the lap of northwestern European affairs, merged Norman and Anglo-Saxon cultures, and laid the groundwork for what would help England emerge as one of the great powers of the world at just the right time and place. Not bad for one obscure Duke who was ticked off for being overlooked when it came... Read more
The most accurate meme I’ve seen this election: Read more
From unsafe learning environments. I read this story and kept thinking Rod Serling was going to step out from behind my computer cabinet. The amazing thing is that the lesson was supposed to bring attention to the use of derogatory language. It’s still not enough. I was heartened to see that the complaining group said that books with difficult topics, like To Kill a Mockingbird, should be assigned. Nice to hear. But just can’t help shaking my head. The world... Read more
She agrees with what each side says about the other. There’s no way to disagree with the outrage that Democrats have for Trump, what Trump represents, and the blame that the GOP deserves for allowing a man who stands against everything conservatives stand for to carry their banner. Likewise, if you can’t see the collusion between the press and the political machine behind Hillary, then you’re in denial. In the 90s, conservatives were rightly outraged as women accusing Clinton... Read more
For those who watch FOX News, you’re probably aware that in addition to the Trump implosion, Wikileaks has released a steady stream of emails from the Clinton camp. I’m no fan of this whole Wikileaks thing, I’ll admit. But if we waited for the media to do something like, you know, infiltrate the Democratic ticket to expose negative findings, we’ll be waiting a long time. In fact, you get bonus points if you notice that all of these negative revelations... Read more
There’s quite a buzz about some of the emails dumped from Hillary’s camp. Admittedly you have to sift through the news hours to find mention of these. It isn’t necessarily 24/7 coverage. Don’t know why, but except for FOX, nobody is really talking about this. In any event, allow me to point out that these emails are not anti-Catholic. They’re basic, modern progressive 101. They’re not trashing Catholics or Catholicism. They’re trashing that which isn’t liberal. They’re not saying the Catholic... Read more
