Having learned of Yeonmi Park via Bari Weiss’ Free Press a couple of weeks ago, I was eager to relate her story, but my computer crashed and I was forced into silence. Back on line now, I’m sure you will find her as inspiring as have I. Born in North Korea in 1993, her childhood …

C.B.D.C.s ….. Ugh!!!!
Central Bank Digital Currencies replace actual cash in hand with digital values which can be controlled by their issuers. As Central Banks operate in close consort with the reigning federal government of their land, such currencies would give those governments the ability to actually control the spending habits of their citizens. That control would be …
Populism: A Gross Stereotype
On Mar. 11 of this year, Canada’s Globe and Mail published an article by academic/lawyer/writer, Philip Slayton. Its topic was Antisemitism, its thesis more or less implied by its subheading: “The fight against mindless populism must be fought, though it will never be won.” In the third paragraph of his massive opinion piece, Slayton informs …
Bless your Integrity, Ms. Wolf!
As most now know, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy recently granted Tucker Carlson access to approximately 41,000 hours of video coverage of the Jan. 6 “insurrection.” Carlson’s purpose in releasing some of that footage was not to utterly whitewash the day’s events, but to expose the fundamental dishonesty of the narrative presently in vogue, the narrative …
The Cancer of the Victim Mentality
Nothing better illustrates the intellectual dysfunction induced by the Left’s simplistic narrative of oppression, than an interview conducted by Glenn Beck with documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz in July of 2022. Intrigued by the fact that the vast majority of the LBGTQ community side with the Palestinians in their conflict with Israel, Horowitz decided to make …
Journalistic Integrity?
On Mar. 20, The Blaze cited Erin Burnett’s statement three days earlier on CNN regarding information released by the House Oversight Committee on the Biden family’s recent financial history. To quote her exactly: “There’s a guy whose name is John Robinson, he gets 3 million dollars from a Chinese based company and proceeds to wire …
Paulo Freire: Another Brilliant “Intellectual”
Paulo Freire’s 1968 book, “Pedagogy of the Oppressed”, was a seminal work in the evolution of what today is known as Critical Race Theory. Making CRT an integral aspect of every Western student’s education has become a cause celebre among contemporary “intellectuals” and their “progressive” minions. Of course “conservatives” who question the validity of that …

The sheer stupidity of the Defund movement!
In 2020, when San Fransisco’s Democratic mayor London Breed proposed a 35 million dollar cut in police spending, City Supervisor Hillary Ronen declared that was not nearly enough. Ultimately the police budget was decreased by approximately 120 million. Today that same Ms. Ronen is begging for a greater police presence in her city. CNN recently …

The Joys of Victimhood!
Moved to investigate the subject by Dave Rubin’s podcast of Mar. 20, I was surprised to discover that more than one “progressive” commentator over the last few years has flogged the absurd notion that putting cream or milk in one’s coffee is an act of White Supremacy. Abhijit lyer-Mitra is a respected Indian political analyst …
Grow Up Mr. Trump!
As I have said repeatedly, were I an American citizen I would have voted for Trump over the pathetic Joe Biden in 2016, this decision, as perhaps with most who voted for him, based not upon any degree of admiration for the man but upon a preference for his policies. Trump has recently taken to …
