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.

Leftist Nonsense––Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel

Leftist Nonsense––Like Shooting Fish in a BarrelAfter the 2016 presidential election of President Donald J. Trump, I stopped counting the numbers of Republicans and Conservatives who told me how unpleasantly life had changed for them. Through eight years of President George W. Bush––even through the Reagan years, they said––they could still speak to their friends and relatives and agree to disagree about political issues.

Blue Bloods Gone Oprah

Blue Bloods Gone OprahAmong the TV shows I gravitate to with my husband Steve, a former athlete, include live baseball, basketball and football games, historical documentaries, and both true crime shows and crime dramas like Law & Order, Forensic Files, Chicago PD, and Blue Bloods––all studies in the greatest mystery of all time, human behavior.

Is This a PANDEMIC or a DEMPANIC?

Is This a PANDEMIC or a DEMPANIC?Now that we're in a de facto Martial Law mode––a shutdown of entire industries and small businesses, nighttime curfews, social isolation, a run on goods, huge sports events cancelled, a "shelter-in-place" mandate in California, releasing prisoners in New York (God forbid these  miscreants get a flu!), Broadway gone dark, and a craven media inciting and delighting in the panic they're causing, it is relevant to ask:

Baby Killers

Baby KillersRemember good ole boy Johnny Edwards--actually North Carolina Democrat Senator John Edwards (1998-2012), VP candidate in 2004, and presidential candidate in 2008? Edwards is hard to forget because he burst upon the national stage as the golden-tongued lawyer who was famous for defending the rights of the unborn. According to writer Douglas Johnson in National Review, "in 1985, John Edwards stood before a jury and channeled the words of an unborn baby girl. In his closing argument to the jury, Edwards conveyed what the unborn child, Jennifer Campbell, purportedly had been feeling hour-by-hour as her distress grew.

The Sludge Sisters

The Sludge SistersThroughout the ages, Jews have been the targets of genocidal forces both large and small, educated and ignorant, liberal and conservative, pagan and religious. Other small sects and religions have never inspired the particular psychotic animus that Jews have because they never threatened the larger populace as Jews have with blazing green-eyed jealousy--the most powerful emotion of the human species. In fact, Proverb 14 states: "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy makes the bones rot."

Prison, anyone?

Prison, anyone?Just a few months ago, in an article entitled "Still the Smartest Guy in the Room," I wrote the following about President Trump: Well, whaddaya know? In the midterm elections of November 6, 2018, the American people rewarded the president--for only the third time in almost a hundred years--with a net gain of three and possibly four Senate seats, lost half the House seats that his predecessor lost, and left the radical leftwing Democrats not rejoicing at their meager gains, but still chomping at the bit to bring down the president who has effectively destroyed everything they believed in, worked for, and thought they achieved over the past 75 years.

Antisemitism on Parade--Everything Old is New Again

Antisemitism on Parade--Everything Old is New AgainMost people thought antisemitism had been relegated to the trash bin of history after Hitler and millions of his willing German-Polish-Austrian-French-Swiss-Belgium executioners--with savage premeditation--murdered six-million Jews in the 1930s and '40s, and the world--significantly after the fact--seemed to wake up to the psychotic, irrational, obsessed nature of Jew hatred.

The Bad Boy Brett Baloney

The Bad Boy Brett Baloney Judge Brett Kavanaugh has always been in the crosshairs of the left, ever since he played a major role in urging the impeachment of their icon of moral rectitude, President Bill Clinton, and also led the investigation into the alleged suicide (or fishy murder) of Vince Foster, Clinton’s Deputy White House Counsel and close friend of Ms. Hillary.

Thank you, Punchy

Thank you, Punchy I remember as a young teenager going by myself to see "On the Waterfront" at the Whalley Theater in New Haven. I was so mesmerized by the performance of Marlon Brando (30-years old at the time) that it took a dozen more viewings--really, that's how many times I saw the film, maybe more--before I realized that the greatest actors of the day--Eva Marie Saint, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger--were also featured in the movie.

James Comey and the Stinking Fish Factor

James Comey and the Stinking Fish Factor I always thought that James Comey was a company man. As it happens, the company he headed is among the most influential, powerful and scary companies in the world--the Federal Bureau of Investigation. But still, a company guy. Whether working for a president on the moderate-to-conservative spectrum like G.W. Bush or for a far-left Alinsky acolyte like Barack Obama, makes absolutely no difference to this type of obedient--and also subservient--accommodator.

Politicide: The attempted murder of the Jewish state by Victor Sharpe

Politicide: The attempted murder of the Jewish state by Victor Sharpe The word Politicide was first coined by Abba Eban--Israel's foreign minister in 1967--to describe the attempted murder of the sovereign, independent State of Israel by enemies both within and outside of the fledgling state. When Victor Sharpe first read the word, he told me how it resonated in "the deepest parts of my heart and soul."
