Why Americans Are Having Fewer Babies

The U. S. birthrate is down sharply since 2007, as women say economic and social obstacles prevent them from having as many children as they want. BY JANET ADAMY – May 26, 2023 – The Wall Street Journal My cmnt: Here in the commie, democrat-run U.S. of A. we have policies in place to discourage responsible, working people from having more babies and encourage taxpayer-dependent nonworkers, generally in fatherless homes, to have more and more babies. However nature worshiping democrats also love sacrificing babies, as sex is their religion and abortion their sacrament, and so they have been aborting inner … Continue reading Why Americans Are Having Fewer Babies

Sorry, But That’s the Rule: President Asterisk Is A Draft Dodger

Kurt Schlichter | Posted: Jan 25, 2021 12:01 AM – for Townhall.com I didn’t want it to come to this, but I am compelled by my loyal adherence to the rules and norms and cultural regulations put into effect by our glorious, competent, and not-at-all-inexplicably-smug ruling caste to characterize President * as a cowardly draft dodger of cowardice. I think it is stupid, but I am bound to these New Rules. As are you. Say it with me: President * is a cowardly draft dodger. You should also know that Asterisk is also not an Army Ranger, which became a … Continue reading Sorry, But That’s the Rule: President Asterisk Is A Draft Dodger

‘Concerned parents’ reported Norris High School teacher accused of sex abuse, deputy says

Andrew Wegley May 22, 2023 – LJS My cmnt: Obviously from a Judeo-Christian worldview casual sexual relationships are immoral and sex between persons in positions of power and authority and their subordinates is subject to criminal prosecution as a form of harassment and abuse. The entire #MeToo movement was an effort to expose this ongoing abuse among the democratic men in Hollywood and Washington D.C. My cmnt: However from the materialistic worldview of the democrat/media/educational establishment it would seem this standard is hard to justify especially in the case of a young woman and one of her more mature male … Continue reading ‘Concerned parents’ reported Norris High School teacher accused of sex abuse, deputy says

Political Cartoons – Mid-May 2023

All the Durham Report does is confirm The Swamp is alive and well. Until you see a large number of FBI, DOJ, CIA, and IRS employees prosecuted and jailed and a bunch more forced to retire and, hopefully, lose a good bit of their pensions you will not see progress. As for me, I lost all faith in all of the above agencies over the past few years and all the Durham Report did was confirm my worst suspicions. – catnvol cmnt Continue reading Political Cartoons – Mid-May 2023

Student Biden called ‘lying dog-faced pony soldier’ says she was humiliated

By Tamar Lapin – February 10, 2020 – The New York Post My cmnt: While this column in the Post is more than 3 yrs old it is still relevant today. Joe Biden is a mean, senile, disrespectful, dirty old man. Besides sniffing the hair and fondling the shoulders of young women and even young girls he says totally disconnected, stupid things when he’s trying to flirt with them. Only a people as blind and corrupt as the democrat party could possibly elect this foreign-money-for-favors, corrupt douchebag. The college student branded a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” by Joe Biden said on … Continue reading Student Biden called ‘lying dog-faced pony soldier’ says she was humiliated

By Anna North  Feb 10, 2020, 1:20pm EST – for Vox My cmnt: This article is over 3 years old yet it was a portent of things to come. As it turns out it doesn’t matter to democrat voters what Biden, or any democrat politician, says. It doesn’t matter how strange or bizarre his comments are. It doesn’t matter whether or not he is physically sick (like Hillary) or mentally incompetent like AOC, or nearly brain-dead like John Fetterman. Democrat elected officials have been completely incompetent for decades. … Continue reading Biden’s “lying dog-faced pony soldier” moment

Chicago is one of many US cities overwhelmed with illegal migrants crossing the southern border By Kyle Morris | Fox News – May 12, 2023 – Fox My cmnt: The delicious irony of this protest is like hemlock to the Left. They need these undocumented democrat voters and so can hardly call the black protesters racists though by Liberal standards they clearly are.

These illegal immigrants from a third world country who do not speak English are mostly unattached young males with little to no job skills and very likely … Continue reading Migrants ‘dumped’ in Chicago shelter could ‘destroy’ Black communities, residents say

Global Surface Temperature Comparison 

NASA GISS 1880 – 2022 | Anomaly vs. Absolute Temperature My cmnt: What’s important to see here is that the first graph is an example of how the Leftist media lies, suppresses and distorts the truth. Since 1880 when the global temperature was 57 degrees F the global temperature has gone up a mere 2 degrees F. I would defy anyone to go outside and tell me if it was 57 degrees or 59 degrees. But if you scale the graph as they have done it LOOKS like a precipitous rise in global temperature. My cmnt: However when you look … Continue reading Global Surface Temperature Comparison

Larga vida a España – Long Live Spain By Ryan Gaydos | Fox News – May 10, 2023 – Fox News My cmnt: I was perusing the guide on our TV and just happened to click on the Madrid Open. First, I was glad to see that the men only had to play three sets just like the women.

Andy May – Feb 18, 2020 By Andy May – for What’s Up With That website My cmnt: Incineration is the only safe, viable, practical and possible way to deal with the world’s trash.

Story by Rikki Schlott • Yesterday 2:45 PM My cmnt: The whole realm of human sexuality is complicated and over complicated by perversion and pleasure.
