Trivializing Literature, Virtualizing Reality, Part One

By

According to librarians, reading is a good thing, and it hardly matters what you read.  On that principle, bad books are shoved off on unsuspecting children with goodness knows what deleterious effects.  I half expect to see, before I depart, comic versions of Sade’s Justine and Lawrence’s Lady Chatterly.  In general most of us read many too many books.  I don’t mean simply that we read junk–I have read thousands of mystery novels, without a single blush.  I mean we read too many books about books rather than books that are themselves a kind of reality.

Shredding the Fabric

By

Since the State of the Union Address, President Trump and Nancy Pelosi have been going at it hammer and tongs (though Pelosi would probably prefer a hammer and sickle match with Bernie) .  The Buffoon-in-Chief is in great form, praising his supporters with childish  epithets endlessly repeated and damning his enemies with more vigor, at least, though not with a wider vocabulary.  Thriving on hatred, Donald Trump is like one of those Sci Fi monsters that grow stronger with every attack.  Trumpzilla. Opposing the President with every fiber of her aging and malevolent being is the harridan whose daughter calls...

Pay No Attention….

By

Friends have been writing me emails and sending texts wanting my “take” on the Iowa primary.  My first response is:  Trump won  by over 90 %. As for the Democratic losers–the entire pack–they have to be thinking.  Who stands to gain?  Could the Cinton-Obama mercenary hacks who designed the system actually want some gay guy’s b-tch to gain momentum?  I actually watched CNN and FOX for 90 minutes, and all I heard was “It couldn’t be Biden, because look how bad his numbers are. Right.  Let us just suppose that the numbers of the 62% reported votes are somewhere in...

How J-Low Can You Go?

By

I’ve been hearing complaints about the indecency of the Super Bowl halftime performances. What am I missing? Half naked women wiggling their back sides and writhing on a stripper’s pole?   This is the America we live in. This is mass entertainment at its best, the realization of the American Dream. Does anyone really think there is some line that one one can draw between the pornograpny of cable TV and the pornography of the NFL?  Of course there are differences between XXX porno flicks and the pop performances of Madonna, Britney, Lady Gaga,  J-Lo, and Shakira, but the one...

Turning Green Into Gold, Conclusion

By

Before answering this question, we should remind ourselves that one Leftist revolution does not so much supplant its predecessors as absorb them.  Marxism absorbed liberalism’s attack on religion, monarchy, and social status, but it also prepared the ground for feminism and globalism.

A Time to Kill? Part One of Three

By

President Trump’s decision to kill General Soleimani has stirred up the predictable opposition.  For Nancy Pelosi and her party, Trump had to be condemned either for making an inadequate response to Iranian terrorist aggression against the United States or for a response she has decided, on her own authority, to declare a war crime.

Thanks, Donald.

By

As an anti-interventionist who has opposed all US involvement in wars since WW II and nearly all our military interventions, I send congratulations to the President for taking direct action against a pirate-state that has more than once attacked American diplomatic personnel.
