Author: Lord Buckbeak

Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry. But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth. Psalm 34:12-16

This is the cause of the baby formula crisis

Lord Buckbeak

Tucker says the Biden administration has been hoarding formula By Tucker Carlson | Fox News – May 13, 2022 – Fox.news At a press conference back on March 24th of this year, Joe Biden announced that thanks to the regime change war he’s decided to voluntarily wage in Eastern Europe, our country—the United States—will soon face food shortages.   Food shortages are “going to be real,” Biden said. Now, the reporters in the room dutifully transcribed the words and wrote their stories, but you may have missed it.

Black Education Matters

Lord Buckbeak

By Thomas Sowell – Posted: Oct 30, 2020 – for Townhall.com Most Americans would probably be shocked and angry if they knew all the dirty tricks used to sabotage charter schools that are successfully educating low-income minority children. This is not “systemic racism.” It is plain old selfishness on the part of traditional public school officials and teachers unions protecting their own vested interests. Most of us might see charter schools that succeed where traditional public schools have failed as welcome news, especially in minority communities where there is so much bad news. But, when there are a million public … Continue reading Black Education Matters

X-Files Monster of the Week Episodes

To be ‘beyond the pale’ is to be unacceptable; outside agreed standards of decency. What’s the origin of the phrase ‘Beyond the pale’? Firstly, let’s get the spelling clear here. It’s ‘beyond the pale‘ and not ‘beyond the pail‘ – the phrase has nothing to do with buckets. The everyday use of the word ‘pale’ is as an adjective meaning whitish and light in colour (used to that effect by Procol Harum and in countless paint adverts). However, there is another meaning of ‘pale’ – ‘a stake or pointed piece of wood’. This meaning is now virtually obsolete except as used in … Continue reading What’s the meaning of the phrase ‘Beyond the pale’?

A Doctor’s Open Letter To Fauci And The Medical Establishment

Lord Buckbeak

My cmnt: Why did Leftist democrats (Fauci, FDA, CDC, Federal bureaucracy) lie about the life-saving effectiveness of HCQ and ivermectin and continue to lie about them today? My cmnt: First, stealing an election thru massive, illegal mail-in voter fraud using Covid-19 as the excuse was the biggest reason. Destroying the best-ever Trump economy was the second reason. Amassing dictatorial control over people’s lives thru masking and draconian (worthless) lockdowns was the third. Giving the public school teachers in large, democrat-run cities a two year paid vacation when everyone knew and knows that school-age children and healthy young adults are at … Continue reading A Doctor’s Open Letter To Fauci And The Medical Establishment

Lord Buckbeak

By Stephen Dinan – The Washington Times – Monday, March 28, 2022 My cmnt: The 2020 presidential election was stolen by voter fraud and outright theft. You can read here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here about the early morning shenanigans the day AFTER the election to count 100,000s of fraudulent ‘votes’ for Biden in systematic, bald-faced election fraud in four major democrat-run cities to impossibly swing these states into O’Biden’s column. And just like with the massive riots and insurrections by Biden voters in the summer-of-love 2020 the legacy, mainstream media and press utterly ignored and … Continue reading Biden got 255,000 ‘excess’ votes in fraud-tainted swing states in 2020, study finds

‘The Big Guy’ Has Trouble Ahead

Lord Buckbeak

Katie Pavlich Posted: Apr 03, 2022 12:00 AM – for Townhall.com Over the course of the past two weeks, the Washington Post and The New York Times have finally admitted that a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden is, in fact, real and that the details of his foreign dealings contained within it are problematic.  Despite the admission, Biden’s allies in the media are doing their best to protect the Oval Office.  “It seems pretty clear that Hunter Biden was trading on his father’s name to make a lot of money, he’s had a difficult life, but until someone makes a … Continue reading ‘The Big Guy’ Has Trouble Ahead

Is pedophilic attraction to children a mental illness?

Lord Buckbeak

Presently no one, including democrats who have been seeking to normalize deviant sexual practices for 60 years, will publicly state that pedophilic sex is permissible. But you can be assured that this state of affairs will not last. It is only a matter of time before democrats attempt to, and succeed in making pedophilia not only an acceptable sexual practice but a desirable one for both the adult and the child. I should point out that prior to the 1970s homosexuality was considered by the psychiatric profession to be a mental illness. But with sufficient, concerted pressure from the democratic-media … Continue reading Is pedophilic attraction to children a mental illness?

Bicycle helmets – Do they really save lives?

Lord Buckbeak

by Emma Hammett | Dec 9, 2020 | for First Aid for Life My cmnt: Be sure to read the readers’ comments I have included below this article. There is a growing body of people with very low risk tolerance who believe that virtually any risk is too much. This is germane to the ongoing Covid-risk debate. Essentially democrats want to restrict freedoms in the name of “safety” while Republicans want to maximize freedoms in the name of common sense and joyful living. My cmnt: The upshot is this: Riding a bicycle for recreation on side streets, sidewalks and designated paths and trails … Continue reading Bicycle helmets – Do they really save lives?
