Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

The mainstream  media called Trump a liar when he said that he had been spied on by Democrat operatives during the 2016 Presidential campaign and after his election.  Trump is no model of verisimilitude, but it now appears that he was absolutely correct about this.  Recent filings in the Durham investigation reveal that people working […]

Violence Against Women

I assume that everyone except the most evil persons among us is against violence toward women.  Recently there has been a push in Congress to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.  It had somehow been allowed to expire. I know nothing about the details of the legislation, and I certainly approve the sentiments being expressed.  […]

Scholastic Idiocy

This academic year eighth-grade students at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Enfield, Connecticut were given an assignment that asked them to identify their favorite sex acts.  This idiotic assignment  is almost beyond belief or comprehension.  What business is it of an educator to know the sexual experiences and attitudes of their young students – […]

The Short Ballot

No!  Not anything more about elections.  I believe that you will find this post inoffensive and worth a few moments of your thoughts. How many of you struggle in the voting booth when you encounter a long list of candidates for various offices?  I consider myself a reasonably well-informed person, but I find it very […]

Locoweed

Locoweed I believe senior members of the Democrat Party have been ingesting something akin to locoweed.  Whereas locoweed’s toxic effects appear to be confined principally to cattle and horses, this noxious variant is having a profound effect on Democrat leaders, all of whom who are evidently consuming it in large quantities.  How else can we […]

Federal Bankruptcy

My friend Norman recently forwarded me an article that helped put our Federal government’s financial dilemma in an understandable way.  I adjusted the numbers to more accurately reflect today’s typical household income, but the relationship between income, expenditures, and debt is dead-on. Let’s pretend that the Federal government is this American household.  These several figures […]

The London Scottish Regiment

The following bit of trivia concerns military and cinematic history, though the events described were certainly not trivial to the individuals involved. The London Scottish Regiment was formed in 1859 and was sponsored by  the Highland Society of London and the Caledonian Society of London, Scots living in the British capital.  The regiment became part […]

Rewriting the Constitution

There are many political thinkers on the American left who wish to rewrite our Constitution.  I believe President Obama was once quoted as saying,  “The American Revolution was incomplete, and the Constitution is an imperfect product of compromises.” I recently read the blog post of an acquaintance who strongly expresses these same sentiments.  He is […]

I Told You So

Like most of you, I hate the person who says “I told you so.”  Nevertheless, I cannot resist reposting an article I published on July 2, 2020.  I am very sorry that I was so right.  Read it and weep along with me, DO YOU KNOW JOE? July 2, 2020 On numerous occasions I have […]

The Dead Duck

The high cost of complex medical equipment adds significantly to the expense of medical care.  Of course, these high-tech devices contribute to our health and longevity.  They are also very useful in the veterinary profession. A woman brought her comatose duck to the veterinary’s office.  The vet examined the duck and then turned to the […]
