The Joro spider is a part of the Trichonephila clavata species and is part of a group of spiders known for highly organized, wheel-shaped webs. The females have colorful yellow, red and blue markings on … Continue reading ‘Zillions’ of big spiders are about to invade the East Coast

Useful Idiots

Lord Buckbeak

By Thomas Sowell Posted: May 20, 2003 – for Townhall.com The term “useful idiots” has been attributed to Lenin, as a description of those mindless people in the Western democracies who would always find ways to excuse whatever the Soviet Union did. Columnist Mona Charen’s new book Useful Idiots shows that such people are still with us. Long after the Soviet Union’s horrors had become too widely known around the world for their sympathizers in the West to be able to get away with whitewashing the USSR, new Communist dictatorships arose to become the new objects of the affections of the Western … Continue reading Useful Idiots

The Story of Elián, the Boy Who Was Plucked From the Sea

Lord Buckbeak

VANESSA GARCIA APRIL 21, 2020 – for the Miami New Times My cmnt: This piece is not clearly titled. Gracia used ‘myth’ in the title NOT referring to the true, miraculous story of Elian’s journey from Cuba in a small boat to American freedom and prosperity but rather the spin the Clinton-democrat-media establishment put on the story to justify sending poor Elian back to Castro. My cmnt: I’ve edited this piece for clarity, brevity and space and added commentary where needed. I was 20 years old on Thanksgiving Day 1999 when little Elián González, surrounded by dolphins, was found drifting off the … Continue reading The Story of Elián, the Boy Who Was Plucked From the Sea

Meals on Wheels numbers follow the economy

Lord Buckbeak

I have been a volunteer delivering MOWs with my own car and gas for over 40 years now. My wife and I did them together until our boys were born then I would deliver them by myself. When our oldest was around 3 I would take him with me and let him carry the milk cartoons up to the doors. The old ladies, most of the MOWs recipients are elderly single women, would just go gaga over our small son walking up to them and handing them their milk. MOWs recipients don’t get out a lot.

No Other Gods Before Me

Lord Buckbeak

By Robert Louis Wilken – Nov 1993 – First Things My cmnt: Written 28 years ago, this essay on the Truth of Christianity is as relevant today as it was then. What we are witnessing today is the rotten fruit of the Left systematically dismantling Western culture as Professor Wilken warned us in this essay. My cmnt: Wilken writes of “practical atheism” which he calls secularism. At that time we tended to call atheism “secular humanism”. This turned out to be too weak of a description. It doesn’t really capture the true essence of post-modernism in the 21st century. My … Continue reading No Other Gods Before Me

Lincoln’s Fairness ordinance a threat to womanhood

By CYNDI LAMM Mar 3, 2022 – guest opinion for the Lincoln Journal Star We may be living the lyrics of the song “2525.” At least that is what I and some others are wondering with the City Council’s passage of the so called “fairness ordinance.” Specifically, I’m wondering “if woman can survive” the movement that not only takes away safe spaces for women and girls, but also threatens to makes womanhood disappear altogether. Many in this community are hesitant to discuss the movement that is sweeping our nation, maybe because we feel uncomfortable, or maybe because we feel diminished … Continue reading Lincoln’s Fairness ordinance a threat to womanhood

The Transgender Threat to Women’s Sports

Lord Buckbeak

by Abigail Shrier – Oct 20, 2020 – for Newsweek.com Whether to allow biological men into women’s sports may be the silliest debate of our time. Fairness falls so completely to one side; outcomes are obvious and predetermined. If this were not 2020—if Americans were not terrified to acknowledge the plain truths in front of them—this discussion would be confined to its more natural domain: high school auditoriums, where boys and girls in glasses and blazers can earn high marks for casuistry. There is hardly a woman alive who has not, in her teen years, challenged a boy her age … Continue reading The Transgender Threat to Women’s Sports

By THOMAS CATENACCI ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT REPORTER for Daily Caller My cmnt: Look, electric cars can never replace gas-powered cars, period. This is a democrat pipe dream. An electric car needs heating and A/C in most of the regions of the U.S. This is not possible to do with a battery or even a bunch of batteries and never will be.

Trudeau’s tactics mark the second time Democrats inspired a dictator

Black History Month is about more than just Black Americans

Lord Buckbeak

Every moment of greatness in our history belongs to all Americans By Ben Carson M.D. – Feb 9, 2022 – for Fox News Black History Month is upon us. Some will attempt to use it as a tool to push divisive agendas such as critical race theory or Black Lives Matter.  But we must avoid such ideologies and remain focused on what unites us as a nation, regardless of our race.

Every moment of greatness in our history belongs to all Americans, because the fruits of … Continue reading Black History Month is about more than just Black Americans

Do Muslim Women Get a Harem of 72 Sexy Studs in Heaven?

Lord Buckbeak

By Raymond Ibrahim – Feb 3, 2022 – for The American Thinker My cmnt: I worked with a Muslim man from Pakistan who was quite religious. He would not drink alcohol, prayed five times a day (some while at work), would not eat pork and overall was a very decent fellow. At the time I knew very little about Islam and so took advantage of our association to ask any number of questions. When the suicide bombers became a news item it wasn’t long before we all heard of the 72 virgins awaiting them in Muslim heaven. My cmnt: My Muslim … Continue reading Do Muslim Women Get a Harem of 72 Sexy Studs in Heaven?

Donald Trump was right, Democrats were spying on him

Lord Buckbeak

Trump told the truth bluntly, often when nobody else would My cmnt: They say they didn’t spy on President Trump, they just “exploited” data they had privileged access to. A distinction without a difference. This IS Watergate plus ten thousand. This is monumental news and corruption by the democrats that simply must not go unheeded and unpunished. The nation depends upon it. By Tucker Carlson | Fox News – Feb 14, 2022 – Fox news If you watch Donald Trump closely over his four years in office, and we did, it became pretty clear that the more outlandish the claim that Trump happened to … Continue reading Donald Trump was right, Democrats were spying on him

Durham’s Jaw-Dropping Revelation

Lord Buckbeak

By THE EDITORS – Feb 15, 2022 – for National Review One characteristic of Russiagate bombshells is that the mainstream press simply doesn’t cover them. That stands in contrast to the breathless coverage given to the original investigations, even as they never delivered the promised goods. So it is with the latest jaw-dropping revelation from the Durham investigation. Special Counsel John Durham, of course, is scrutinizing the origins of the Obama administration’s Trump/Russia probe — a probe that holdover officials at the FBI and other government national-security agencies extended into the Trump administration, even as Donald Trump was the sitting president of the United … Continue reading Durham’s Jaw-Dropping Revelation

It’s Hate White History Month!

Lord Buckbeak

 February 2, 2022 by Ann Coulter – her website Last week, we covered the monumental lack of self-awareness of liberals denouncing others as “snowflakes,” even as they force Amazon to remove books, tear down historical monuments, hide black suspects’ race, and demand the immediate firing of anyone who mentions black performance on standardized tests. This week, we’ll cover the left’s claim that they are teaching “history.” Terrified that their hate-America curricula have been discovered by parents and politicians, liberals hysterically accuse them of opposing the teaching of “history.” As MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid put it: “Like, it is a problem for old … Continue reading It’s Hate White History Month!

Durham: Tech Exec Working with Clinton-Tied Lawyer Spied on Trump Tower and the White House

Lord Buckbeak

By BRITTANY BERNSTEIN – Feb 13, 2022 – for National Review My cmnt: This is a really big deal. This is far worse than Watergate. This is treason by Hillary and her campaign and the Obama regime. Hillary literally spied on the opposing presidential campaign and then spied on a sitting President of the United States! These democrats should be perp-walked into prison. They never are of course, but they should be. My cmnt: The whole Russia, Russia, Russia hoax was already put to bed by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller after 3 long years and millions of wasted taxpayer dollars. It’s … Continue reading Durham: Tech Exec Working with Clinton-Tied Lawyer Spied on Trump Tower and the White House

Annual Inflation Rate Hits Highest Mark in 40 Years

Lord Buckbeak

The consumer price index went up by 7.5 percent over the last year, the highest annual increase since February 1982. By CAROLINE DOWNEY – Feb 10, 2022 – for National Review My cmnt: I’ve been doing all of the family grocery shopping for 37 years. We were married in 1976 and so lived as adults on minimum wage through the Carter years. I never thought I would see Carter type inflation again. I know it’s not that bad YET but O’Biden and the democrats are working on it. My cmnt: Biblical Christians you are seeing the importance of voting for fiscally … Continue reading Annual Inflation Rate Hits Highest Mark in 40 Years

Chaos or Cosmos?

Lord Buckbeak

Why deterministic reductionism is ruining science through government (i.e., democrat party) control of funding By Lord Buckbeak So many things (perhaps all things) depend on defining what we mean when we use a politically charged word (and perhaps all words). The democrats have been using ‘science’ and the empty phrase ‘follow the science’ to force gross violations of our constitutional liberties for going on two years. As in the French Revolution ‘Safety’ and ‘be safe’ are the excuses given to trample the rights of the people. When Ben Franklin wrote in a letter to the colonial governor of Pennsylvania these … Continue reading Chaos or Cosmos?

Why Ideology is the Ancient Enemy of Civilization

Lord Buckbeak

Victor Davis Hanson | Posted: Feb 11, 2022 – for Townhall.com What ultimately destroyed the evil empires of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were bankrupt dogmas. Crackpot ideology destroyed free expression. It ruined meritocracy and ensured unequal application of the laws – and so paved the way for far worse. The Nazi idea of a superior Aryan race adjudicated everything from physics to tank design. Soviet commissars did the same, subordinating rational thought to communist agendas. Zealots in both systems infiltrated the universities and schools to institutionalize indoctrination. Wokeism, while not yet as lethal, is similar. Racial wokeism posits that … Continue reading Why Ideology is the Ancient Enemy of Civilization
