My initial Blog was entitled “Mindless by Design” because the Left has literally eliminated the legitimacy of Ideas and Values from political discourse. In the entry entitled “The Devaluation of Truth” I cited a letter penned by B.L.M in 2017 in response to an incident at U.C.L.A. in which it claimed the very notion of …

Compassion or Stupidity?
In December of last year Ibrahim Bouaichi was indicted and ultimately jailed without bond in Alexandria, Virginia, for the violent rape of Karla Dominguez, a beautiful young Venezuelan woman apparently without family in the States. When Bouaichi’s lawyers argued that their client’s imprisonment left him unduly vulnerable to Corona 19, Judge Nolan Dawkins agreed to …
Sheer Ignorance
I have just viewed an image of a statue of Queen Victoria in Leeds, England, which had been defaced by members of BLM who had smeared the word “murderer” across the base of the monument. Did you know, my friends, that as early as 1772 an English court, while slavery was still considered business as …
Is There Something in our Water?
On July 28 the authorities in Minneapolis, its Democratically controlled City Council having voted to defund the police, issued a letter to the residents of that city’s Third Precinct advising them to simply turn over their wallets, cell phones, etc. when confronted by thugs seeking to rob them. As the Rule of Law could no …
Oh Ilhan!
In a video I came across on July 8, Minnesota’s Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar makes it quite clear that her main concern is to “dismantle” the political/economic system of America, a system that prioritizes profit with no concern whatsoever for the intolerable gap between the rich and the poor. The desire to help the less …
Oh Oprah!
In a recent episode of “The Oprah Conversation,” the revered Ms. Winfrey goes on at some length with Black NFL player Emmanuel Acho on the subject of White Privilege, her main observation being that White people who prosper without appreciating the extent to which their Whiteness has been of benefit to them are, whether they …
Paradigm for the Simple-Minded
Nothing better illustrates the inadequacy of the “progressive” paradigm than its inability to deal with the realities, both past and present, of Islam. In June of 2016 the Washington Post published an article by Dr. Asifa Quraishi-Landes, associate professor of law at the U. of Wisconsin, entitled “Five Myths about Sharia Law.” On the one …
Violating History [and logic]
The practice of applying 21st Century Egalitarian criteria, criteria which are eminently disputable, to the beliefs and achievements of individuals who lived hundreds of years ago, is devoid of both moral and intellectual integrity, yet pursued with reckless abandon by our academics and “intellectuals” as well as those mindless mobs intent on eliminating every trace …
To Clarify…..
In the Blog entitled The Rule of Law, I mentioned that the Left is informed by two utterly contradictory views of Human Nature which render all its valuations absurd. On the one hand, as suggested by the writings of Darwin, Marx and the Post Moderns, we are power driven monsters seeking to dominate if not …
Defunding the Police
David Clarke, Black Sheriff of Milwaukee County from 2002 to 2017, is disgusted by the anti-police rhetoric of B.L.M. and the consensus media in general, stating that while the police are certainly not perfect, the vast majority of them do an amazing job in circumstances no layman could ever understand. The chief problem as he …
