On Nov. 21, Not the Bee posted a video of a mother in what I believe is Frisco, Texas, addressing the school board responsible for her child’s education. Opening a book she obtained from the library of that child’s school, she begins to read a brazenly pornographic passage. Thirty seconds or so into her reading, …

Double Standards = Fascism!
In Sept., journalist Matt Orfalea produced two videos featuring various public figures, mostly politicians, who had dared question the integrity of the two most recent U.S. presidential elections. The first cited various Democrats claiming Trump’s 2016 victory was a sham. It included Joe Biden suggesting Trump was an “illegitimate president,” an opinion echoed by Kamala …
Populism: The Weaponizing of Stereotypes
The following is but one of hundreds of newspaper articles I might use to make my point. On Oct. 28 of this year, my local newspaper printed an article by two Canadian university professors who had just published a book entitled “Has Populism Won?: The War on Liberal Democracy.” Implicit in the article is the …
Good Intentions are Not Enough!
The Federation for American Immigration Reform recently announced that approximately 5.5 million illegal immigrants have entered the U.S. since Biden took office. While 4.4 million were processed by border patrol, 1.1million entered the country utterly undetected. Quite aside from the fact that many of the latter were drug dealers and various other species of undesirables, …
The Trump Dilemma
As I have argued with my “liberal” acquaintances who seem overwhelmed by a need to vomit at the very mention of Donald Trump, I would have voted for him in 2020 were I an American, not as an endorsement of him personally but because of the demonstrable superiority of his policies on certain issues [ …

Pop music is boring. The art world is boring. Broadway is boring. Books from big publishing are boring.” It is a sentiment which Goldberg clearly …
Our Oxymoronic “Intellectuals”!
I have just re-read an article published in my local newspaper, the Hamilton Spectator, on June 2 of 2020. Written by Henry A. Giroux, a professor at McMaster University from which I graduated 40 or so years ago, it is a graphic manifestation of the simplistic, Neo-Marxist narrative that has apparently metastasized throughout Western Academia. …
Soft on Crime and Proud if it !
In a recent debate with incumbent N.Y. Governor Kathy Hochul, her Republican opponent, Lee Zeldin, accused her of being soft on crime. In her response she actually said: “I don’t know why that’s so important to you.” Interviewed on Sunday, Oct 30, by MSNBC’s Al Sharpton, Hochul described the Republicans as “master manipulators” whose refusal …
A Legal System Gone Mad
The Blaze today posted an article concerning a home invasion that took place at 5:30 A.M. on Oct. 22 in west Las Vegas Valley, Nevada. The intruder, 28 year old David Valle, apparently entered through an unlocked door, grabbed a knife and proceeded to rampage through the house calling for its occupants to show themselves. …
The Delusions of the Woke vs. The Facts of Life.
These are simple, inarguable, Objective Facts: Some are born significantly more intelligent than others; some with greater physical strength and endurance; some with genetic mutations that deviate from the biological norm; still others with an inexplicable drive to succeed, whatever the limitations of their condition. These used to be considered the simple Facts of Life, …
