In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Hillary Clinton recently blamed Biden’s plummeting popularity on the “demagoguery” and “misinformation” so perversely exploited by “the other side” on social media. Of course those of her mind-set, slavishly venerated with few exceptions [i.e., Fox News] throughout the mainstream culture, resent the opportunities available to dissenting voices via …

Common Sense vs. Political Labels
While I would be consigned to the political Right given the absurdly Leftist bias of our contemporary culture, I would argue the Rationalism [common sense] of my “conservatism” places me emphatically in the Center. Bill Maher, who still refers to himself as a “liberal,” never stops fulminating against the irrationality that seems to pervade the …
Compassion Misplaced!
It is a known fact that Leftist billionaire George Soros, motivated by compassion for the “oppressed,” has financed the campaigns of a number of “progressive” D.A.s across the States in an effort to remedy what he sees as the racially motivated incarceration of an inordinately high number of Blacks. Larry Elder, of course, would respond …
The Waukesha “Crash”
I no longer watch the News on T.V. these days. But I happened to have W.G.N. Chicago on last night as its team began a lengthy discussion of the Waukesha Christmas parade tragedy. What became glaringly apparent within a few seconds was the constant repetition of the word “crash” in referring to the incident in …
Nathaniel Branden… meet Larry Elder.
I frequently reference Nathaniel Branden’s book “The Psychology of Self-Esteem” in attempting to illustrate the immaturity and indeed futility of the sense of Victimization that informs the Woke Left. A recent Prager U. article by Larry Elder wonderfully illustrates how the Myth of Systemic Racism has been used by the Left to exonerate criminals within …
Rittenhouse: The Truth vs. Leftist Lies
In a wonderful article in the N.Y. Post of Nov. 17, Miranda Devine attempts to set the record straight on the facts of the Kyle Rittenhouse case. As her piece is readily available online, I shall offer only a few brief comments on its substance. The narrative that Kyle is a White Supremacist driven by …
It’s So Simple: Uphold the LAW!!
Eric Adams, the newly elected Black Mayor of NYC, is a moderate Democrat, a former cop who does not support de-funding the police, one who is so devoted to the Rule of Law that he has promised to the restore the “anti-crime units” disbanded last year in response to the agitation of B.L.M. In commenting …
Oh Canada!
Steven Guilbeault is Canada’s recently appointed Minister of the Environment and Climate Change. It is an odd designation given that the notion of man made global warming is a Theory and not a proven fact. But that’s beside the point. As Guilbeault has been an environmental activist since the 90s, his appointment by Trudeau clearly …
Oprah again: I Know She Means Well but…
I have dealt with this subject in a previous blog, but it warrants further comment. At the Golden Globe Awards in 2018, Oprah Winfrey addressed the crowd with the following: “Speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have.” But might there not be a radical difference between “your truth” and The Truth? …
Have you heard of Bill Shakespeare?
There are several books chronicling the pollution of our Western Universities by “intellectuals” who have succumbed to the delusions of Marx. I have listed them elsewhere and shan’t bore you by listing them once again. But Prager U. recently reminded me of just how insane the ongoing Cultural Suicide of the West has become. In …
