Is Joe Biden paying attention? He better start; the party he represents is beginning to look a lot like an episode of “Game of Thrones.” Case in point is Fancy Nancy Pelosi’s cute trick: a bill to create a commission to “Execute the 25th Amendment.” Said amendment, for those a little late to the party, …

Thoughts from the Creation
Words to ponder, taken from James Madison’s notes on debates during the Constitutional Convention: “Mr. GERRY. The evils we experience flow from the excess of democracy. The people do not want virtue, but are the dupes of pretended patriots. In Massachusetts, it had been fully confirmed by experience, that they are daily misled into the …
Follow the Science and Other Lies
Follow the science? In January, many in the medical community warned that President Trump’s ban on travel from China would “harm the response” to COVID-19. See https://www.statnews.com/2020/01/31/as-far-right-calls-for-china-travel-ban-health-experts-warn-coronavirus-response-would-suffer/, buried as deep in Google as it’s possible to get. Shortly thereafter, Anthony “New Hippocrates” Faucci warned that masks would create more problems than they would solve, and …
Come On, Joe…
No, Joe. President Trump is not “screaming law and order” to save his presidency. He’s calling for law and order to protect the country from you. And your sock-puppet mobs, forever the favored instrument of the Democrat party – from the white-sheet days of the Ku Klux Klan to the domestic terrorism of Bill Ayers …
A Stew of Lies
The Democrats’ virtual convention is over. I’m not sure which was worse, their tacit acknowledgement that their hopes for victory rely on hatred for the current president, or the window-dressing of policies thrown up to disguise that fact. Since Democrats’ hatred is a constant, let’s focus on their stated policies. As damaging as the former …
Democrat Silliness
What a hoot. Just listened to Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ attack dog in residence trying to poison the well for Donald Trump’s acceptance speech tonight. Seems she criticized the Republican convention for being “All about Trump,” when that’s what the Democrats have been doing throughout the campaign: making it all about Trump’s personality, rather than …
On White Supremacy
Should the best person for a job get it regardless of gender or race? The New York Philharmonic thought so. It was one of many US orchestras that adopted “blind auditions” in the 1970s to eliminate discrimination in selecting musicians. A candidate would play for judges from behind a screen, all personally identifying information redacted …
Just a quick note on Joe Biden’s pals
Want to know what China’s been up to lately? Here’s a link to a July 21 indictment of Chinese hackers: ” https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/assistant-attorney-general-john-c-demers-remarks-press-conference-united-states-v-li-et “ Someone ought to ask Joe Biden if he thinks his Chinese pals are really okay. I mean, they did give Hunter a few billion to play with, but overall… We need to …
To Whom do black lives matter??
Seven-year-old Natalia Wallace was shot to death in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend. So was 14-year-old Vernardo Jones, Jr. They were joined by 17 others, 16 of them black, who were gunned down in the Windy City over the long weekend. Another 70 were wounded during the same period. Do these “Black Lives …
Green Idiocy
Sooooo…. The Wizards of Smart in Nevada’s state government will now “study” mandating that Nevadans buy more electric vehicles. Never mind they cost more – sometimes a LOT more – than comparable conventional fuel vehicles. Never mind that their range is – at least in OTT (other than Tesla) vehicles – is somewhat limited and …
