Black Women in Charge     

 January 3, 2024 by Ann Coulter – her website       The Claudine Gay affair reminds me that we need a reckoning on how the “intersectionality” project is going.      The idea was that after centuries of being kept down by racism and sexism — although that didn’t seem to hurt accomplished black women like Barbara Jordan, Condi Rice, Jessye Norman, Zora Neale Hurston and on and on — black women would finally be given a fair shot. Think of all that untapped talent!      But so far, intersectionality has mostly placed a lot of black women in high-profile jobs … Continue reading Black Women in Charge

What are Judeo-Christan values?

Judaism and Christianity are the only two religions that share a sacred text and a fundamental set of values. These values created and sustained Western Civilization. But now many want to discard them. If we do, at what cost? by Dennis Prager – Prager 5-min videos – May 22, 2023 Have you ever heard the term, “Judeo-Christian values?”  I suspect you have. Can you name any of those values? I suspect you can’t. But you should because Judeo-Christian values are the moral foundation of Western civilization. As the great British prime minister Margaret Thatcher put it: “The truths of the … Continue reading What are Judeo-Christan values?

Meet The J6 Defendant Standing Up Against A DOJ Bent On Collecting Heads 

BY: M.D. KITTLE – DECEMBER 15, 2023 – The Federalist ‘It was almost like an open show of my arrest all the way down the street,’ he said. That was the point. My cmnt: Steward Parks is typical of the hundreds of innocent Americans arrested and tried by the Biden DOJ. Show trials and lies from the Left, the judges and the democrat-media complex are misusing the full force of the government to persecute Americans they do not like politically.

BY: AUGUSTE MEYRAT – SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 – The Federalist Few incidents in recent history are as poorly understood as the riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

They have compared this event … Continue reading It’s Looking Ever More Likely That Jan. 6 Was A Fedsurrection

Compare How University Elites Responded To George Floyd’s Death And The Innocent Israeli Massacre

BY: HAYDEN LUDWIG – The Federalist OCTOBER 23, 2023 Ivory tower elites were quick to hail the drug addict George Floyd as a national hero. With Hamas’ attack, they’re not so black-and-white. If the last three years have proven anything, it’s that America’s top universities are deeply sick, and “progressive” ideology is to blame. In 2020, left-wing faculty made certain everyone knows that Black Lives Matter and shamed anyone who was skeptical of that Marxist-led organization. Flash forward to October 2023, and these same crusaders couldn’t care less about slaughtered, tortured, beheaded, and dismembered Israeli Jews — and we have it in writing. … Continue reading Compare How University Elites Responded To George Floyd’s Death And The Innocent Israeli Massacre

Victor Davis Hanson |  Feb 23, 2024 – Townhall My cmnt: I like the title of this piece for its catchiness and brevity but it doesn’t really due justice to the rest of the story.

Associated Press: Laken Riley’s Murder Is About ‘Dangers Female Runners Face,’ Not Illegal Immigration

John Binder – 26 Feb 2024 – Breitbart My cmnt: It’s a simple fact. Without various completely illegal, democrat-run “sanctuary” cities and states harboring known criminals who break our immigration laws and should not be in this country in the first place, this vibrant, young woman achiever would still be alive, well and thriving. Instead, because of Biden and his fellow travelers in the democrat-media establishment, this person was brutally raped and beaten to death by on illegal alien migrant with a history of crime and deportation.

DEI Is Welfare For People Like Claudine Gay Who Couldn’t Get A Job Without Identity Politics

BY: TRISTAN JUSTICE – DECEMBER 13, 2023 – The Federalist The Plagiarist herself – This column was printed before Gay was finally fired as president of Harvard but she still retains her nearly million dollar a year professorship. It’s not a coincidence that Gay survived both poor reactions from donors and allegations of plagiarism, a chief sin in academia. The board of Harvard unanimously voted to retain the university’s president Claudine Gay despite her public refusal to say that calls for genocide of Jewish students would contradict Harvard’s code of conduct — and subsequent allegations of past plagiarism. “Our extensive deliberations … Continue reading DEI Is Welfare For People Like Claudine Gay Who Couldn’t Get A Job Without Identity Politics

The lights are going off in South Africa. by Helen Andrews – Claremont Review of Books – Winter 2022/23 My cmnt: The following review of Eve Fairbank’s book by Helen Andrews does a thorough job of rebutting Fairbank’s claims that South African blacks failures are the result of the so-called legacy of apartheid rather than their failure to understand that wealth and prosperity do not just fall from the sky.

An exhaustive debunking of the dumbest myths about Social Security

By Michael Hiltzik Business Columnist – Nov. 24, 2023 – LA Times Myths and canards about Social Security and its supposed fiscal troubles have steadily proliferated over the years. But it’s rare to find them all concentrated in one place as they were in a recent article on the online news site Slate. Slate paired Eric Boehm, a writer for the conservative magazine Reason, with a writer named Celeste Headlee for a dialogue titled “Social Security Doesn’t Make Sense Anymore.” The roughly 2,000-word piece contained so many misconceptions, inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and flat-out lies about the program that I almost gave up … Continue reading An exhaustive debunking of the dumbest myths about Social Security

Tertullian’s two most famous expressions: “what has Athens to do with Jerusalem” and it is “to be believed because it is absurd” aside these two cities represent two great truths that must guide our conduct and culture: Faith and Reason. Faith represents our presuppositions and Reasons represents our ability to reach valid conclusions from our limited data. My cmnt: If our presuppositions (our … Continue reading Is Evil rational?

Growing up in a relatively conservative community in Grand Rapids, Mich., Powell, like many teenagers, didn’t feel comfortable in her own skin. She was unpopular and frequently bullied.

The Woke’s on Them

The Left after Hamas. by William Voegeli – Fall 2023 – The Claremont Review of Books Even making allowances for the fact that political campaigns are not academic seminars, the anti-woke candidates have struggled to clarify what it is they deplore, and why it’s a menace. “Basically,” Ramaswamy wrote in his book, “being woke means obsessing about race, gender, and sexual orientation. Maybe climate change too. That’s the best definition I can give.” DeSantis’s was not much more illuminating. “Woke is an existential threat to our society,” he told a reporter in June. It is “an attack on truth. It’s … Continue reading The Woke’s on Them

Woke Dilemmas

The enemy of today’s ruling power is us. by Michael Anton – Fall 2023 – Claremont Review of Books Glenn Ellmers’s The Narrow Passage is a strange little book that is hard to summarize. What makes the task even harder is, paradoxically, its brevity. Rarely is so short a book so densely argued—so packed with ideas and information that what begins as a precis veers into what feels like a full recounting. Still, one must do one’s best—especially in the case of a book that answers two of the most burning practical and theoretical questions of our time: what is … Continue reading Woke Dilemmas

Alex Haley’s Fraudulent Roots

By Jack Kerwick – 2012 – Beliefnet.com This is the 35th anniversary of the ground breaking television miniseries, Roots.  Based on Alex Haley’s wildly successful novel, Roots: The Saga of an American Family, the epic miniseries starred an ensemble cast—several members of which recently visited with Oprah Winfrey on her new network (OWN) to commemorate this occasion. This is worth commenting upon only because, for as provocative and entertaining as both book and movie undoubtedly are—I read the book twice and watched the miniseries numerous times—Roots, the author’s assertions to the contrary notwithstanding, is a work of fiction through and through.  To listen to Oprah and the … Continue reading Alex Haley’s Fraudulent Roots
