On Oct. 16, a French schoolteacher, Samuel Paty, was beheaded outside his school by a Chechen immigrant for having presented cartoons of Mohammad to his students for discussion. While his 18 year old killer was shot dead by police, seven others, including two of Paty’s students, were arrested. French President Emmanuel Macron defended the Principle …

The Arrogance of Hindsight!
The title of the N.Y. Times’ “1619 Project” is a reference to the fact that it was in that year that the first African slaves reached the coast of what is now Virginia. The contemporary “progressive” critique of America’s past is based upon the simplistic if not appallingly arrogant assumption that those White Colonialists who …
Conservatism = Racism!
On Sunday, Oct 18, the editorial board at the Hartford Courant endorsed Joe Biden, claiming that anyone who voted for Trump was voting for Racism. Actual, tangible evidence of the man’s racism are nowhere to be found, but the Left repeatedly attempts to exploit Trump’s tendency to speak without thinking, attributing to him views which …
Hopeless
This past Saturday in San Fransisco, a “Free Speech Rally against Twitter and Big Tech” was organized by a Conservative group outraged by the efforts of Twitter, Facebook and others to suppress the New York Post’s recent Biden expose. Scheduled and legally licensed to occur at U.N. Plaza not far from Twitter’s headquarters, it naturally …
Systemic B.S.
In the interview to which I referred at the end of my last blog, Coleman Hughes, a writer with Quillette, wonders aloud why it is that Blacks who emigrate to America from such Caribbean nations as Jamaica are, by their second generation, earning 58% more than Black Americans in general. If the “system” is “rigged” …
Inconvenient Truths?
Canadian evolutionary psychologist Gad Saad has just published a book entitled “The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas are Killing Common Sense.” While I am perhaps over simplifying, his major concern would seem to be the Left’s absurd attempt to remove Biology from the human narrative, to suggest that the way societies unfold is almost exclusively …
And the Beat Goes On
If you follow “conservative” websites such as The Blaze, you will know there have been longstanding questions regarding Joe Biden’s abuse of his status as Vice President to line the pockets of other members of his family as well as, perhaps, his own. In 2013 Hunter Biden, for no self-evident reason, accompanied his father on …
Shameless!
A June podcast by “Mr. Reagan” [Chris Kohls] entitled “Top Ten Examples of Fake News” is clearly a response to the relentless media attacks on Trump’s questionable respect for the truth. Speaking without thinking is no doubt one of his foremost flaws and one can hardly deny that he is prone to exaggerating if not …
Some Oldies but Goodies
In Sept., after Chinese virologist Dr. Li-Meng, in conjunction with three other doctors, published a paper showing there was a good deal of scientific evidence that Covid 19 was created in a Wuhan lab, Twitter suspended her account. The sanctimonious defenders of political correctness always know the Truth and see no need to submit such …
Keith Olbermann
Sportscaster Keith Olbermann has just left ESPN to host a You Tube show devoted to the current political situation in the States. In explaining his concerns this past Thursday, he went on as follows: The task is two-fold: the terrorist Trump must be defeated, must be destroyed, must be devoured at the ballot box, and …
