“If you want something done right, do it yourself.” That seems to be the current motto of the Democrat party when it comes to silencing political enemies. Once content to rely on the good offices of Silicon Valley’s Left plutocrats like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerburg, they have apparently been stung to action by the …

No, Joe – It Ain’t So
On June 22, 2021, Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, reacted to a worrisome increase in the Consumer Price Index of 5.4%, year-over-year. “Inflation,” he solemnly noted to the scribbling classes, “is transitory”. Nothing to worry about, folks. His take was swiftly parroted by others in the Biden Administration and throughout the legacy …
A Worrisome and Dangerous Man
Oh yes he did. In his trip to Poland last weekend, Joe Biden did indeed call for regime change in Russia. He also said that the US would respond “in kind” – his words, not anyone else’s – to a Russian chemical attack in Ukraine. That’s a reversal of US policy of some 25 years …
Maybe Joe Just Don’t Know…
“I’ll always be honest with you” Poor Joe. He may want to speak the truth to the American people but it’s hard to do so when the Green Left has its hand up his backside, making his mouth move. To borrow a favorite phrase of the President, “Here’s the deal.” On January 21, 2021 the …
Joe’s Frankenspeech
What are we to make of the president’s Frankenspeech before Congress Tuesday night? About the best that could be said is that it was 45 minutes longer than many expected he would be able to remain upright and coherent – although he did begin to lose focus pretty noticeably near the end. So, well done …
Avoidable, Repetitive, Tragic and Bloody
So Vlad the Terrible is now occupying Ukraine’s version of the Sudetenland. As with 1938 Czechoslovakia, the rest of the country will follow in due course. Both the 2014 seizure of the Crimea and Russia’s current actions violate the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, in which Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States promised …
Those Who Forget History’s Lessons…
“How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know nothing. It seems still more impossible that a quarrel which has already been settled in principle should be the subject of war.” — …
Biden’s Voting Wrongs Bills
It now appears that in a frustration-fueled rage, the empty suit that is Joe Biden will try to rip down one of the last props of the Republic to achieve his puppeteers’ dream of single-party rule. It’s not just that the “John Lewis Voting Rights Act” and its evil clone the “Freedom to Vote Act” …
On The Abolition of Man
Here’s a way to tell one is in the presence of genius: they can foretell the future. In 1947 British author C.S. Lewis completed and published “The Abolition of Man.” The slim volume was a collection of three lectures he gave at the University of Durham focusing on education. It makes chilling reading today because …
A Fatal Fecklessness
Anyone watching the Donbas region? We should – it’s likely the spot where the match will be struck that starts the next Great-Power conflict. The Donbas is an eastern part of Ukraine, immediately on Russia’s western border. It is occupied by pro-Russian separatists armed and supported by Russia, who have been in a state of …
