My Fellow Americans, I promised you I would take up the six most serious problems confronting the survival of our country. In this fifth broadcast I am going to discuss what is undoubtedly the most sensitive subject of all.
I’ve watched at least some of every major party national convention since 1964, when I was nine. There’s something different about the Democratic National Convention this year. The speakers boldly laid out how they are going to impose tyranny on America. Don’t miss the key part of the festivities on Day Three, from about 18:00 to 28:00 on the video. It’s an unrelenting attack on gun rights, unalleviated by even a mention of the Second Amendment, or how owning hunting rifles would not be banned, the lines Bill Clinton and others long used. They want our guns – all of...
I just accidentally ran across a FB post in which trans-gendering is justified by the claim that the word “man” once referred to humans of either sex and “she” was not invented until the 13th century. These people are wonderfully creative, almost as creative as the average priest or minister who lies his way through the Scriptures and the Creeds. I don’t suppose I have to point out to any of my readers that different languages express natural distinctions in a variety of ways. That distinctions of tense, for example, are in some Indo-European languages, no more significant than...
It was the Summer of 2008 when I first made my way up to Rockford, Illinois. It was a slow, languorous summer drive, with plenty of preparatory reading to do, some often crammed in during the final segment of the voyage. In many ways, this year was no different. In other ways, the long tentacles of Covid-19 (and its handlers) couldn’t help but be felt by the attendees. But perhaps the miracle is that we were able to meet at all, while most of the world huddled inside or behind masks, frightened by the government, media, and the new bands...
Disinformation, which we Russians lovingly nickname deza, differs from ordinary misinformation in that it is planted or spread knowingly, with malice aforethought and the intent to deceive. This looks good on paper, until a piece of fake news is actually before us and we start mulling it over, and then what is patently a case of carelessness or even of fraudulent intent may begin to take on the configurations of a gospel truth. That fake, after all, has not come out of nowhere. That fake is almost always a palimpsest of earlier fakes, and as one’s mind keeps burrowing deeper...
People are writing about Kamala Harris, our next president – maybe? Joe Biden clearly is out of it. I’m still predicting a Trump win. But if not, then either Joe will be replaced before the election, or will resign due to health reasons after it. But nobody I’ve seen is writing about her special relationship with the new Masters of the Universe in Silicon Valley and its digital offshoots in San Francisco. California long was balanced between Northern California and Southern California. Northern Cal’s dominant families originally came from New England. Knob Hill in San Francisco was like the Boston...
I’m writing this on a terrace that overlooks cerulean infinity on three sides, yet a day here is costing me less than a cocktail, with an inevitable accompaniment of olives and roasted nuts, at the Cala di Volpe or any number of similarly fancy establishments dotting the map of Italy from the Costa Smeralda upwards
Finally. No more lies about police brutality and the legacy of slavery. Black Lives Matter goes on the record with its mission statement. BLM organizer Ariel Atkins, describing the looting in Chicago as ‘reparations,’ declared:
“I don’t care if someone decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike store, because that makes sure that person eats, that makes sure that person has clothes.”
Prediction time: Trump will win on November 3 because he has supported our gun rights. Whereas the Democrats have not only continued to assault our Second Amendment “right to keep and bear arms,” but have allowed antifa/BLM rioters to burn down our cities.
