The Pathology of Liberalism

The Pathology of LiberalismFrom the inception of psychology about 140 years ago, medical conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, narcissism, Tourette's syndrome, even stuttering, were thought to be psychological in origin--and with enough therapy, enough blaming inadequate parenting, enough talk, enough delving into "feelings," the sufferer could be treated successfully or even cured. We now know--thanks to tools like PET scans and pharmaceutical advances--that these conditions are largely biological in nature, more receptive to medications, augmented with behavioral-therapy techniques, than to any of the other "therapies" that were utilized so ineffectually on multimillions of people over the past many decades.

Pearl-Clutchers on Parade

Pearl-Clutchers on ParadeTime to get out the ledger. On the left––literally––we have had nearly eight months of rampaging criminality and violence in the many Democrat-controlled cities in our country, all conducted by thugs belonging to groups called Black Lives Matter and Antifa. This is the short list of what they have done:

Tucker Goes Megyn

Tucker Goes MegynWhat is it about good-looking, brainy, articulate, even charismatic people––particularly if they're in the public eye––that makes them so vulnerable to the self-destroying over-confidence and arrogance known as hubris? Who can forget when the beauteous, brash and brilliant Megyn Kelly blazed like a shooting star on Fox News, used her background as a former practicing attorney to conduct piercing and revelatory interviews; showcased enough magnetism to, as my mother used to say, charm a bird off a tree; and entranced the show-business and tabloid worlds with her romance and marriage to a rich and handsome businessman-cum-author and then give birth to three adorable children?

The Real Reason Regressives Are Pretending Biden Won

The Real Reason Regressives Are Pretending Biden Won"The 'journalists' of the news media have begun the relentless drumbeat of proclaiming 'President-elect Biden.' This is make-believe." Writer Chris Farrell Shortly before the November 3rd election for President of the United States, the proprietors of storefronts, buildings, restaurants, dealerships, and businesses of all types across our entire vast country boarded up their facades in anticipation of widespread rioting, arson, looting, massive destruction and violent assaults by Republicans if Joe Biden won the contest.

Dems Are In Full Panic Mode

Dems Are In Full Panic ModeAfter the 2016 presidential election, Democrats were consumed with anger, indignation, and a burning unquenchable fury. They had basked in smug satisfaction during the previous eight years as Barack Obama began to fulfill his campaign promise of October 28, 2005 of "fundamentally transforming the United States of America" from our Democratic Republic into a socialist utopia. And they were blind with rage that Hillary had been denied the next eight years to complete the mission.

Eyes + Ears = 50!

Trump's Silent MajorityLast March brought us the results of the caucus and primary votes of the Democrat 2020 contest for the U.S. presidency. Out of a U.S. population of about 330 million--some stats include 40 million illegals, which brings the total to 370 million--the best Democrats had to offer was about 15 unimpressive candidates who the public saw through and sent packing. Left in the contest were:

The ONLY Issue in 2020 Election is Voter Fraud

The ONLY Issue in 2020 Election is Voter FraudNo, it's not "the economy, stupid." In spite of the bipolar stock market since the China virus hit the world last March, our remarkably resilient economy––thanks to President Trump––is now on the ascent, employment rates growing, and consumer confidence increasingly robust.

Democrats' Destroy-Trump Efforts Almost Comical

Democrats' Destroy-Trump Efforts Almost ComicalFor the past 50 or more years, the Democrat Party––always leftwing but today both viciously anti-American and virulently anti-Semitic––has worked tirelessly to inflict its worldview on everyone in America.

Emperor’s New Clothes, Anyone?

Emperor’s New Clothes, Anyone?Every night for over 100 days, the entire American (and international) public has seen the criminals of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa getting away not only with arson and theft and assault and harassment, but murder.

The Democrats' Mental Problem

The Democrats' Mental ProblemIt's not a recent observation on my part; it goes back decades, so I've had a long time to figure out the meaning of this peculiar phenomenon. Specifically, it's that Conservatives like me seem to enjoy the lion's share of being in a good mood, feeling optimistic, trusting that the many forms of rugged individualism can solve most problems, smiling easily and often, and generally seeing both the present and future as glasses half full.  Not one of these things can be said of leftists, and nothing brought that truth more vividly alive than watching the Democrat and Republican conventions in August.

Democrats Offer a Rancid Smorgasbord

Democrats Offer a Rancid SmorgasbordAt the virtual Democrat National Convention last week––where the Democratic National Committee removed the word God from the Pledge of Allegiance––the public was treated to tasteless and remarkably unfunny jokes from Hollywood's Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and a video featuring Donna Hylton who spent 27 years in prison for the grisly murder and torture of Thomas Vigliarolo, a NY businessman found stuffed inside a steamer trunk and left to rot in Harlem.

Joan Swirsky Interviews author Linda Goudsmit on her recently published opus: The Book of Humanitarian Hoaxes: Killing America with ‘Kindness

The Book of Humanitarian Hoaxes: Killing America with ‘KindnessJoan Swirsky Interviews author Linda Goudsmit on her recently published opus, The Book of Humanitarian Hoaxes: Killing America with ‘Kindness'. Joan (JS): Linda…when did you have the blazing insight that what you were witnessing in the politics of American leftists were not sincere efforts to improve the system, but rather elaborate hoaxes designed to destroy our country?   Linda (LG): From 2017 to 2019––I wrote a number of articles in response to current events. At about the third article, I realized that there was a consistent pattern of leftist political policies that were presented as altruistic, but in  reality were deceitful, tactical, political strategies deliberately designed to collapse––to destroy––America from within.

Heads-Up Jewish Americans--Democrats Are Your Enemies!

Heads-Up Jewish Americans--Democrats Are Your Enemies!Montana has about 1,400 Jews, Mississippi about 1,500, South Dakota 250. If I lived in any one of those beautiful states, I would not be writing this article. But I live in New York––home to about one-million, 800-thousand Jews––so the politics of being Jewish affects me and my family in a very existential––life and death––way. It’s quite simple for me, as it should be for all Jews, given the fact that in a world of about eight-billion people, we Jews are a miniscule 15 million, only about six-million in the United States, eight-million in Israel, and another one-million around the world. That is equivalent to the proverbial drop in the ocean.

Once Again, President Trump Hands Democrats Enough Rope….

Once Again, President Trump Hands Democrats Enough Rope….Here’s an old, irrefutable chestnut: If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging! But Regressives refuse to learn that lesson and are yet again falling into the chasm of a trap President Trump has set for them. Listen to the uproar the mostly-leftist media bleat every minute of every day: Why aren’t the president and his Republican colleagues saying anything, doing anything about all the destruction and madness that the [Democrat-approved] anarchists are wreaking throughout the country––the arson, smashed windows, destroyed businesses, separatist zones in Seattle and NY City, defund-the-police initiatives, out-of-control thuggery, on and on?

Systemic Racism Inherent in Democrats' DNA

Systemic Racism Inherent in Democrats' DNAIf the upcoming presidential election on November 3, 2020, were not so serious, it would be downright hilarious just watching the Democrats twist themselves into pretzels in their efforts to project onto President Trump their own lengthy and shameful record of racism. As Bill Federer of AmericanMinute.com has exhaustively documented:
  • In 1857, the Supreme Court, with seven of the nine justices being Democrats, decided that Dred Scott, a black slave, was not a citizen, but property. 
  • After the Civil War, when Republicans enacted the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery in America, southern Democrats reacted by creating the vicious anti-black Jim Crow laws.
  • In 1866, Republican Rep. Thaddeus Stevens introduced legislation to give former slaves "40 acres and a mule," but Democrats opposed it.

Democrats Exposed as the Racists They've Always Been

Democrats Exposed as the Racists They've Always BeenThey say that out of every bad thing comes a good thing. Ask any mother who has been through a 20-hour labor! The same can be said of the criminal behavior of the Marxist-inspired radicals––Antifa and Black Lives Matters––which eclipsed the legitimate outrage that followed the horrific murder of George Floyd by a white policeman, Derek Chauvin, in Minneapolis, MN.

While Anarchists Fail, Americans Prevail

While Anarchists Fail, Americans PrevailOn Christmas Eve in 2009, 60 Senate Democrats voted for Obamacare, which was finally voted on again by the House, passed and enacted into law on March 23, 2010. It was only two months into Barack Obama's first term when they magically produced the exhaustively detailed, 2,300-page bill. But it turns out it wasn't magic.

Trump’s Baptism Scene

While the Corleone family of Godfather fame was the embodiment of mob life and the acquisition of money, power and prestige through criminal activity, the Trump family––in stark contrast––embodies the nose-to-the-grindstone, upward-mobility glory of the American Dream.
