Do all black lives really matter? Before the indignation causes an embolism, consider the following: Most of us attending to the news have heard the name David Dorn, and remember that he was a 77-year-old black police captain gunned down on Martin Luther King boulevard in St. Louis in late May by a looter wanting …

A Thought on Joe Biden
People might be a tad too cruel to Joe Biden, accusing him of hypocrisy for calling President Trump a fomenter of division and racism. I freely admit I was one of those who had a negative reaction to the Democrats’ newly-minted presidential candidate going on so gushingly about Black Lives Matter and the whole “need …
The Floyd Riots
God, I hate to repeat myself. But in view of the utter lunacy of last night’s nationwide riots, supposedly provoked by the death of George Floyd, there isn’t any choice. So here goes. I’ll begin with a question: before George Floyd, an unarmed black man, died at the hands of the police, who was the …
“Racial Battle Fatigue”
That’s IT! I have “racial battle fatigue.” Just not in the way that Professor Monnica (sic) Williams of the University of Ottawa means it. I am fatigued by people who have never met me calling me a racist because I am white. I am fatigued by media that unfailingly and fawningly spreads that sort of …
Thought for Today
The handsome fellow in the picture is Kenneth Queen, shortly after his induction into the US Army Air Corps in December, 1941. An uncle of my wife Patricia, Kenneth was a bombardier in a Mitchell B-25 of the 12th Bombardment Group, flying missions in North Africa, Sicily, Sardinia and Italy – 56 in all. He …
Medical Issues
So Dr. Nancy Pelosi, fresh from serving up the largest helping of pork this nation has ever seen, calls President Trump “Morbidly obese?” Sorry, Fancy Nancy. Go back to giggling about your chocolate ice cream diet. After producing that three-trillion-dollar lard-bomb of a spending bill loaded up with safety nets for the indolent, payments and …
The Relevance of Aesop
This is what happens when classics such as Aesop are removed from the classroom in favor of the more-attuned “Heather Has Two Mommies:” instructions in common sense and good behavior are neglected, resulting in adults who are significantly more ill-mannered, credulous and gullible. Current proof can be found in revelations from Shaun Henry, president of …
Trump’s Legacy – A Possibility
Poor Lisa Mascaro. In one of her latest snipes at President Trump, the veteran Associated Press reporter has let both her distaste for his approach and her lack of clarity about our country’s form of government show about as clearly as a rodeo clown’s red hankie. It’s not entirely her fault. For decades, discussion of …
Two Modest Proposals, with apologies to Johnathan Swift
I’ll go Johnathan Swift one better. In honor of our Democrat friends’ itch never to let a crisis go to waste during the time of Covid, let’s use the dislocations wrought in our socioeconomic and political structures to build systems that function better than those we now have. Two modest proposals follow: First, even if …

Is It Curtains for Slow Joe?
Have the Democrat party Big Wazoos finally figured out a way to grease the skids under Slow Joe Biden? It’s beginning to look like they have. You remember Joe – he’s the guy the Democrat establishment threw at Bernie Sanders to knock him off what seemed to be hot rails to the party’s presidential nomination …
