Then let us look back together at the last decade of the rotten old Millennium, a thousand years of treason against human equality. It was an age of white male villains who subjugated women, tortured the differently gendered, enslaved Africans, murdered and raped the peaceful followers of Mohammed, vilified and plundered the harmless Mongols who, in search of peace and prosperity, tried to make their way into Europe.
Most of the history we learned in school is on par with the news we get from CNN, and in podcast this series we shall be reexamining some of the great heroes and/or villains of the past 3000 years.
Once or twice a decade in the mass media—news mass-produced for the masses of consumers by the masses in the press—stories about secession movements flare up like a cheap match and then burn out. Most recently, we have heard about disgruntled people in the Pacific Northwest who want to break away from their masters in Seattle, Portland, and Sacramento and join with the sturdy yeoman of Idaho. How little they know! Washington today is Colorado yesterday, California the week before—and Idaho tomorrow. The progressive virus is not a paper tiger put together out of newsprint and television images: It is...
Schumer and his cronies, like leftist Democrats since the New Deal, have used the Court, whenever they could, to strengthen the power of the central government, but, whenever the Supreme Court has been perceived as an obstacle to their plans to concert power in their own hands, they are tempted to threaten the Court.
I can’t speak for anyone else, of course, but I can barely sleep at night worrying about the Corona virus that has already infected nearly 70 (out of 300+ millions) Americans, and the incredible death rate world wide of somewhere between 1 to 3% of cases. As one of the elderly, I am supposed to be at several times higher the level of risk, if I come down with this flu-like disease. Trump-loving skeptics point to the tens of thousands of annual fatal cases of influenza, but what do they know? They’re not scientists like Nancy Pelosi and Anderson Cooper....
Neighbors, even in these postmodern times, have their uses. Who but the nosey neighbors will call the police if they observe strangers trying to enter your home when you are away? Who but a neighbor is at hand to lend you the ax or cup of sugar you need?
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.
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...
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...
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...
