Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Dana Pico People have been crying for peace, peace, more loudly in the civilized West since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas. We good Westerners have tended to ignore conflicts in other parts of the world. In our religion studies after Mass on Sunday, we were going over the …
Have you noticed? The ‘heroes’ of the American left, like Michael Brown, George Floyd, Freddie Gray, and Trayvon Martin were all bad guys? Mr Floyd was a convicted felon and drug addict, caught in the act of passing counterfeit money, Mr Brown had just roughed up a shopkeeper half his size, and then attempted to …
Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead Mama, life had just begun But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away. — Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen/ Young Miles Pfeffer, a privileged punk kid and previously adjudicated delinquent who had been ‘sentenced’ to a whopping one …
One of the most controversial episodes of the television show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is “In the Pale Moonlight,” in which Captain Benjamin Sisko, plagued by the mounting casualty lists in the interstellar war between the United Federation of Planets and Klingon Empire against the Cardassian Union and the Dominion, concocts a plan to …
In 2002, President George W Bush started pushing for military action against Iraq, which the Central Intelligence Agency had told him was building and holding ‘weapons of mass destruction,’ WMD, in violation of United Nations’ sanctions after President Saddam Hussein al Tikriti had sent his Republican Guard to conquer and annex bordering Kuwait. President Hussein’s …
The specter of war with Iran is giving everyone pause, most certainly including me. Israel launched air strikes against the Islamic Republic a few days ago, supposedly with foreknowledge communicated to President Trump. The G7 group, many of the members of which don’t particularly like either President Trump or Israeli Prime Minister, nevertheless agreed that: …
Their candy asses having been thoroughly kicked, Iran wants the “Great Satan” to help them out against the evil “Zionist regime” in “occupied Palestine.” I am wryly amused. From The Wall Street Journal: A Battered Iran Signals It Wants to De-Escalate Hostilities With Israel and Negotiate Messages passed by Tehran through intermediaries seek a return …
There’s one inescapable fact in life: the Israelis are just plain smarter than the Muslims! We normally use our headline World War III Watch for escalation in the Russo-Ukrainian War, but this time it’s Israel trying to prevent World War III, by going after the Iranian military command and the Islamic Republic’s programs to build …
Perhaps we have noted The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far left and #TrumpDerangement Syndrome afflicted columnist Will Bunch too much recently, but, while doing everything he can to defend the rioters and illegal immigrants in Los Angeles, he’s worried that such might come to the City of Brotherly Love. Not that he won’t defend the rioters if …
I had meant to write this on Saturday, but got sidetracked when we rescued a very emaciated Huskey (mix?) female dog. She was begging for attention outside of the Sav-a-Lot grocery store, and she’s skin and bones: ribs showing, as well as her hips. I walked her to my 2010 Ford F-150, still running strong …
Part of Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen: Mama, (I) just killed a man Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead Mama, life had just begun But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry If I’m not back again …
Jewish “Humanitarian leftist”, self-described co-founder of the Democratic Socialists of America, Jo-Ann Mort sees anti-Semitism in conservative policies, but can’t see that it permeates the Democratic Party and the ‘Palestinians’ she so wants to see free and independent. You can oppose Israel’s policies without killing Jewish people The majority of US Jews overwhelmingly oppose Netanyahu’s …
Prussian Field Marshall Helmuth von Moltke the Elder wrote, “No plan of operations extends with certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy’s main strength,” which is frequently bastardized as “No plan survives contact with the enemy.” I’m old enough to remember when debates in the United States were all about matching the Soviets in …
Once a ‘transgender’ person reaches legal adulthood, if he wants to undergo such procedures, that’s his business. But leave the kids alone.
We reported, last Friday, on Catherine Herridge’s report of the Biden Administration’s efforts to label those who disagreed with COVID-19 vaccine mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists”: The Biden Administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists,” or DVEs, according to newly declassified intelligence records obtained by Public @shellenberger …
It was only a couple of days ago that the democratic West was buoyed by Ukraine’s deep strikes into Russia. From The Washington Post: Ukraine’s drones disrupt Russia with airport closures, internet blackouts As Ukrainian drones strike deep into Russian territory, they are disrupting day-to-day life and reminding Russians that the war is not confined …
Did you know that I’m a “Domestic Violent Extremist”? I didn’t know I was, but that’s apparently how the Biden Administration would have classified me, if they knew who a small fry like me was. We have previously reported on how the Federal Bureau of Investigation under Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, and eventually President Joe …
You know, I get it: everyone wants to keep his job, no matter how royally he f(ornicated) up! As we have previously noted, the credentialed media have been trying their d(arnedest) to blame their almost total lack of coverage of thankfully former President Joe Biden’s declining physical and mental health not on their own failures …
I have frequently said that if Donald Trump walked on water, the left would complain that he stepped on and injured some fish. If President Trump cured cancer, the left would combitch that he was putting doctors and nurses out of work. The tweet screen captured to the left — I always screen capture tweets …
It has been a few days since journolists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson published their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, blaming everybody in Mr Biden’s administration for the elderly President’s decision to run for re-election despite his failing mental status. Former Representative Beta Beto O’Rourke …
