Wednesday’s Child: A Victory for Labor

By

No, it isn’t a mistake, my title.  It’s not like I don’t read the papers, you know.  But in the stuffy atmosphere of Tory triumphalism, I think, the gentle reader may well be wishing for a window on the world to be opened.  So what really happened in Britain last week?  Well, basically, the two main political parties have exchanged roles, which is not, moreover, entirely a bad thing.  It’s both good news and bad.  Let me start with the good news. A number of pollsters analyzing the general election have spoken of a new divide in British society, as...

Humor in the Impeachment follies

By

Although they’re idiotic, tyrannical and boring, there’s humor in the Impeachment Follies: 1. Why hasn’t Greta Thunberg intervened to remove Trump and replace him with herself?  Time magazine, long connected to the CIA, just proclaimed her Queen of the Galaxy. It quotes her marching orders to her subjects, “I want you to panic!” She replaced Queen Lea Organa, who died in the last P.C. Star Wars movie, but might come back in the next one, out December 20, “Star Wars XVIIXMCDMMVIIILMNOPQ: Jar Jar Abrams’ P.C. Guide to the Galaxy and Why Trump Should Be Impeached.”  2. Among the New Republic’s...

Remembering Russia by James Patrick

By

  Text and Talk, 11 May 2019 It is difficult to forget Russia, given the proclivity of the state, real and imagined, to meddle in America elections and to violate egregiously the Monroe Doctrine by sponsoring illiberal client states such as Cuba and Venezuela that are organized on a socialist model.  From 1946 to 1991 Russia was an existential threat to Western Europe.  Its nuclear arsenal is now larger than that of the United States and it has the only other strategic air force in the world.   Its manner in politics is bullying, and its leaders still consider the...

Wednesday’s Child: Worse on Friday

By

Put simply, over the last twenty years the story of civil liberties in Russia has run in parallel with Solomon Grundy’s.  That arrest there has now become virtually synonymous with prosecution, and prosecution with conviction, is evidence stark enough for any man of good will, but periodically a legal case comes to light for which the starkness is merely a charming background. This week it is the case of one Egor Zhukov, a 21-year-old university student who was arrested in July during the street demonstrations in Moscow.  As evidence the judge was shown a police videotape of a young man...

GI Jane Jive–Women in Combat

By

Of all the areas of our lives negatively effected by this absurd doctrine [equality], perhaps few could be construed to be as dangerous as the move to institutionalize women in combat. Tennesseean Mark Atkins explores this in the recent release from Shotwell Publishing, Women In Combat: Feminism Goes to War. Hollywood continuously produces films showcasing nature-defying feats of diminutive women who have the ability to grapple in one-on-one combat with men two or three times their size and emerge successful. But these fanciful characterizations are as real as Santa Claus. As Atkins explains at length, aside from unusual exceptions, the God of nature has not endowed women to be combat warriors.

Wednesday’s Child: Letter from London

By

Apart from mudslinging at Prince Andrew for his alleged peccadillos, first sexual and now financial, British newspapers are occupied with exposing the “anti-Semitism” of Jeremy Corbyn.  “What will become of Jews and Judaism in Britain if the Labour Party forms the next government?” asked Britain’s Chief Rabbi in what the Times of Israel has described as “an unprecedented intervention into partisan politics.” As in the case of Prince Andrew, discussed in this space last week, I’m not an admirer of Corbyn.  In fact, I would go as far as to say that should Labour win the general election next Thursday...
