Missing toilet paper and asinine Democrats

In America, toilet paper is so plentiful, it's like it grows on trees or something. It's literally available everywhere. From big-box stores with industrial-sized multi-packs to conventional local retailers to neighborhood convenience stores. It's even available in dollar stores for the frugal. Likewise, it is found in unexpected places such as technology specialists like Staples. (Why does one need to buy toilet paper with one's new internet-ready laptop? Let's not speculate.) Yet, regardless of the quality of the business, all of these vendors have the same thing in common: all are for-profit, Capitalist enterprises.

Democrat primaries: Soviet style

Your name is Hillary Clinton. You run for president. Six different dead-locked precincts tossing tie-breaking coins all fall your way. Per Las Vegas oddsmakers, six consecutive appearances of heads-or-tails is a statistical probability of 1.5%. That's 64-to-1 against, an exceedingly lucky outcome.

Trump may be Citizen Kane, but not Lonesome Rhodes

Marc Fisher's Washington Post comparison of Donald Trump to 1957s A Face in the Crowd fictional movie character Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes, an anti-hero played brilliantly by Andy Griffith, is a superficial one at best.

The Corrupt Ivory Tower of Socialism

If elected leaders were fundamentally altruistic--unselfishly devoted to the empowerment of their fellow man--the theory of collectivism might have promise. The widespread sentiment would have to be consistently along the philosophical lines of JFK's "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." But it's not. The present generation of "Democrats" promote the polar opposite perspective.

Confusing Republicans with radicals

Why does The Washington Times give voice to the know-nothing Oren M. Spieglers of the world? As habitual liar Hillary is not exactly godly, why does Mr. Spiegler lean to support her?

Obama's faith: hidden in plain sight

As a so-called Christian Mr. Obama should easily recognize Romans 2:6 in which it is written: “God will repay each person according to what they have done.” Applying colloquial language to Scripture it means 'evaluate every person by their behavior not their words'.

D.C. government's dysfunctional lemonade stand

The D.C. license plate slogan "Taxation without Representation," just scratches the surface of the Orwellian farce that is the local D.C. government. Local politicians have been griping about statehood for the District for decades. Apparently to them, a mayor, a 13-member city council and a non-voting member in Congress, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D), doesn't rise to the level of "representation" they seek.

W-a-l-m-a-r-t does not spell welfare

Apparently the liberal MSM and politicians confuse the name Walmart with the concept of welfare. The first is a publicly-traded retailer with stockholders that expect the company to remain profitable. The second is a government-sponsored entitlement program for the needy. The two are examples of entirely different economic animals: the first provides purpose, the semblance of independence and potential upward mobility, the second guarantees Socialistic stagnation and the status quo.

Angry voters' choice: new face or Clinton devil?

In the final analysis (while I affirm Ms. Crowley's optimistic tone) maybe so, maybe not. Indeed, it's scary when such monumental world-shaping choices are seemingly left to the whims of fate. Recall 2012, despite obvious foreign and domestic policy disasters, Mr. Obama--an utterly failed, ultra-Constitutional, pathological liar of a 1984-style despot--was re-elected.

WaPo's spoiled reporting, overt bias

Actual one-day headlines from the primary “news” pages of this Monday's Washington Post, Section A: 'Cuban-Mexican tension is a hurdle for Cruz, Rubio;' 'Rubio and cousin share blood ties but not political ones: He's a Democrat;' 'Rubio's strategic gloom' and 'Some Republican positions do not reflect the party I know.' By contrast, there are zero articles critical of Democrats despite 7 years of the ongoing, ruinous Obama Administration.

Lies, scandal sink relentless Clintons?

With all the 2017 pre-race enthusiasm of a yapping greyhound at the dog track Wesley Pruden is lured by the Pavlovian rabbit--the endlessly wafting pungent hamburger stink that is the many scandals of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Obama's Chicago crocodile tears

By sifting though copiously contrary newspaper reports Chicago has had the dubious and tragic honor of being America's murder capital in 2008 at Mr. Obama's first election and 4 out of the 7 years, 2012-15 of his presidency thus far.

Star Bill Cosby's shameful fall

The reality is that all individuals are fallible. Even those that rise to the status of cultural icons like Bill Cosby. Like all actors, his job depended on being a convincing pretender and player of roles. Mr. Cosby's most famous depiction was Dr. Cliff Huxtable, “America's Dad” in the classic '80s sitcom “The Cosby Show.”

Seeing black and white bookends 2015

At the end of any given year—or the beginning of the next—it is a common practice of many to soul search and reflect on the past. In this preoccupation, Washington Post columnist Lonnae O'Neal is no exception. Her concession—obvious to anyone familiar with her relentless race-based scribbling—is still a real whopper.

Paul Ryan: Democrat's beard

With enabling Republican chumps acting precisely with the fiscal abandon of Democrats, what's the difference? Who needs any of them?

Democrat's squirrelly gun-control argument

Ted Kennedy, the 47-year “Lion of the Senate,” per his own account on August 19, 2004, was put on an airline watch list. In this instance, he had to speak with a supervisor in order to get his initially refused boarding pass: “I got on the watch list last April. I was taking a plane to Boston and I get out to the USAIR and I come up to the counter and I said I want my ticket.” This is the reason Republicans reject no-fly lists as a basis to limit individual liberty: if a powerful guy like the senior senator from Massachusetts can be mistakenly placed on a secret government list, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Butt-naked “fish story” Admiral transferred not dismissed

For 7 years now and counting—in service of the scandal-prone Obama Administration—the MSM doesn't cover government official's activities, it “covers up” for them.

WaPo: Never met a criminal-alien they didn't like

Heaven forbid The Washington Post show a smidgen of the same bleeding-heart compassion to the victims of convicted felons instead of criminal perpetrators.

Deluded anti-gun Democrats ignore facts, Islamic fanaticism

The smoke has barely cleared from the December 2nd massacre in San Bernardino, CA and operatives of the Democrat party masquerading as journalists like The Washington Post's Petula Dvorak are busy promoting the knee-jerk, mindlessly Pavlovian response that, once again, the inanimate gun is responsible.

"Funny business" conference Obama worldwide scam

Allotted a mere three minutes to speak at the UN "climate change" conference in Paris, our Chicken Little "sky is falling" president--who equates weather changes as a greater threat to civilization than radical Islamic terrorism--rambled and sputtered for 14. (By contrast, Abraham Lincoln's now world famous Gettysburg Address--which reaffirmed the goodness of a geographically reunified North and South, and encapsulated the American ideal of sacrifice for the greater good of human equality--took just over two minutes.)
