In the past week, just in case I had forgotten that campaign season is upon us, I have received communications from Bernie Sanders (sign up to support the 32 hour work week, stop aid to Israel until they capitulate to the Squad’s demands), the Republican National Committee (support Trump by electing his supporters), every single … Continue reading Come On, People…..
Perspective on the Israel/Hamas War
Ever since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel I have been trying to articulate why the Israeli response is not only justified, but essential. During this time, the world press and many Western governments have shifted from understanding to caution to criticism of Israel’s handling of the war against Hamas, mainly due to … Continue reading Perspective on the Israel/Hamas War
Why Would You Say That? Or Believe that?
Why Would You Say That? Or Believe That? Imagine the conniption fit we as a nation would have if the Prime Minister of the UK, France, or Germany were to call for a candidate for President of the United States to drop out of the race. Well, as much as I like Chuck Schumer, that’s … Continue reading Why Would You Say That? Or Believe that?
Hypocrisy
The progressive left’s hypocrisy over “free speech” hit a new high with Jamaal Bowman’s (D-NY) (and the rest of the Squad) call for the firing of CNN’s Scott Jennings because he called Ilhan Omar (D-MN) “a public relations agent for Hamas.” The far-left progressive position that Jennings’ comments were anti-Muslim and Islamophobic received vocal support … Continue reading Hypocrisy
With a Clear Eye
I know I have become a disgruntled and very opinionated old guy (or old guy in process, if you will allow me a large amount of slack). I can no longer abide the unbridled hatred and unmitigated stupidity now constantly on display on TV radio, newspapers, and social media. Oh, I understand quite well. It … Continue reading With a Clear Eye
Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder?
In case you have not noticed, I have been off the airwaves (so to speak) since December 11, 2023. I would like to discuss that along with a few other observations about the world we live in. First, my absence and why: The war against terrorism. I have found the post October 7 world to … Continue reading Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder?
Should I Arm My Opponents and Other Tough Questions for Democrats.
In the war against “liberal” higher education, colleges and universities are giving their opponents way too much ammunition. So too are US supporters of Hamas and the Palestinian “resistance.” I strongly suggest that the two groups have a huge overlap. Given the vitriol, why are they completely alienating most of the folks that could become … Continue reading Should I Arm My Opponents and Other Tough Questions for Democrats.
It is Good to Have Friends – An Apology
I reconnected with an old friend the other day. We became really good friends at our workplace long ago, enjoyed each other’s company and the company of our spouses, and generally socialized together in a way that was pleasing to both couples. We were never exactly on the same page politically, he tends to be … Continue reading It is Good to Have Friends – An Apology
Nuts!
I just read Nicholas Kristof’s latest piece on what is happening in the Middle East (just search on his name) and I am disenchanted and disappointed. Among other things, he is on a rant about US “complicity” in what is happening in Gaza and lamenting the lack of a ceasefire to stop the tragedy for … Continue reading Nuts!
Sticks and stones…….but Words Encourage Killing
I know I have been uncharacteristically silent recently. There are a few reasons. First, I was worried that I was perhaps overdoing the commentary on recent Middle East events and their impact on the United States. Now I am thinking, “fuck it,” this is important and I cannot be silent. Second, I have spent the … Continue reading Sticks and stones…….but Words Encourage Killing
