Wow. I just got off the phone with a Facebook friend who is also a friend in real life who read my little post about being stuck between a rock and a hard place regarding Trump, agreeing with some of the agenda, disagreeing with other parts. He took it as an "Ah ha!" moment that proved I was a Trumpster (he's a libertarian) because I noted that Trump could possibly do things I would agree with. [ 673 more words ]

I’m a member of many forums/groups on Facebook. These run the gamut from the mostly political to the mostly philosophical to purely personal - but by far the most interesting are the groups where Trump is blindly supported and the ones where Trump is blindly opposed – and these are not Democrat groups, these are all right-leaning. In the one group, if you criticize Trump for ANYTHING he does, you are equivalent to Nancy Pelosi and might as well be a Democrat and in the other group, if you don’t criticize Trump for EVERYTHING he does, you are equivalent to Nancy Pelosi and might as well be a Democrat.

This is not another post about Meryl Streep or her speech. It is; however, a thought or two on what the entire Golden Globes mess says about the larger socio-political climate in our country. I always try to find something good, and if not good – of value, when reading, watching, or simply hearing about things said by good ole Meryl, Jimmy Fallon and many other progressives speaking last night from the stage who are known but to entertainment insiders and perhaps God Himself.

Perhaps you have noticed that the members of the social justice tribe have developed an alternative language to signal to each other their tribal association and to communicate with each other. It may look a lot like the Queen’s English – but let me assure you it is most certainly not. As an example, here is a snippet from the abstract of an actual paper that somehow got published… [ 965 more words ]

Did White Supremacists or KKK members vote for Trump in 2016? Perhaps – but those votes are no more likely than were the votes of Black Nationalists or members of the Nation of Islam for President Obama in 2008 and 2012. Does a Trump vote by a white person who is NOT a white supremacist or a KKK member mean they are a secret white supremacist or a KKK member? [ 838 more words ]

“Virtuous motives, trammeled by inertia and timidity, are no match for armed and resolute wickedness. A sincere love of peace is no excuse for muddling hundreds of millions of humble folk into total war. The cheers of the weak, well-meaning assemblies soon cease to count. Doom marches on.” ~ Winston Churchill The first chapter of Churchill’s “Gathering Storm” is so packed with wisdom – and warnings – it is difficult to grab a pull quote out of it. [ 737 more words ]

Sometimes idea synthesis comes from flashes of insight from others. Today, it was the combination of a Walter Russell Mead quote about European politics and the retirement column of Dr. Thomas Sowell. Mead noted this about European politics regarding Russia: "The past 25 years of world politics have rested on a series of polite fictions, agreed-upon conventions and hypocritical pretenses..."

Surely the year of our Lord, 2016, will go down as a biggie in the history books. In addition to celebrities dropping like flies, we've got libs and RINOs going #fullmeltdown. With Hillary losing the reins of all they hold near and dear, they have now taken their Russian narrative to inexplicable heights. When the House and Senate passed the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act, and Obama signed it into law, I got a really bad feeling. [ 338 more words ]

Many know (and most at least suspect) a truism that only a few will speak. This truism is that the United Nations has failed in its primary mission of mitigating conflict and has become nothing less than an internationally sanctioned version of the European Union administrative state equally practiced in corruption and redistribution of public money and just as prolific in the issuance of inane and useless proclamations.

Cyndi Lauper, True Colors (1986) There are three times in an adult's life when they show exactly who they are rather than the face they show in public, 1) when they face death, 2) when there is money involved and 3) when they have nothing to lose.

Students at the Electoral College held a protest Friday demanding that the College create both “safe spaces” for Democrat members and “spaces of social justice democracy” for all socialist students. A video of Friday’s protest shows a large group of Democrat protesters preventing Republican electors from passing over a foot bridge on the Electoral College campus while allowing access to Democrat members who knew the secret passphrase (it was the first line of the song “My Shot” from the hit Broadway musical “Hamilton!”).

Recently, Oprah Winfrey scored a wide ranging, exclusive interview with Michelle Obama, the outgoing First Lady of the United States. Focusing on what life was going to be like after her husband leaves office in January of 2017, Mrs. Obama had some pointed things to say about their new circumstances. In the interview, Mrs. Obama said that her husband did deliver on his promises of offering hope to the American people, but that now that Hillary and Bill have screwed up the graft market, “we are feeling what not having hope feels like.” [ 597 more words ]
