Dying Oscar Telecast Bombs with 4th Lowest Ratings in History
JOHN NOLTE – 12 Mar 2024 – Breitbart With only 19.5 million viewers, Sunday night’s Academy Awards bombed with the fourth-lowest viewership in Oscar history. Naturally, the sycophants in the corporate media who need Hollywood’s ad dollars and refuse to admit America will never embrace their fascist Woke Revolution are spinning this failure with these howler headlines: “Oscars 2024 Hit 4-Year Viewership High With 19.5 Million” and “TV Ratings: Oscars Score Post-Pandemic Highs” and “‘Barbenheimer,’ and an Early Start, Boost Oscar Ratings to 4-Year High.” But facts are facts, and a mere ten years ago, in 2014, the Oscar telecast drew 43.7 million viewers.

The Secret To ‘Barbie’s’ Success Is Nature
Man can feel like a woman. He can never be her. That’s the joke, and it will always be funny. BY: EMILY JASHINSKY – AUGUST 01, 2023 – The Federalist Man! I Feel Like A Woman” is more literal than people realize. Shania Twain, who wrote the lyrics to a riff from her ex-husband Mutt Lange, says the song was at least partially inspired by the drag queens of mid-’80s Ontario. Twain also insists the song is a rebuke of dour feminists who see women’s glass as perpetually half empty. Maybe it is. “Barbie” — both doll and movie — is at least … Continue reading The Secret To ‘Barbie’s’ Success Is Nature
The “one anothers” of Scripture
My cmnt: A number of years ago we attended a “prison” ministry church.

Our pastor would occasionally preach from a list of “one anothers” and I would hear a lot of feedback about how meaningful those words were. … Continue reading The “one anothers” of Scripture

By Leonard E. Read – Liberty Fund online Introduction, by Milton Friedman. Professor Friedman, the 1976 Nobelist in Economic Science, is Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford, California. Leonard Read’s delightful story, “I, Pencil,” has become a classic, and deservedly so. I know of no other piece of literature that so succinctly, persuasively, and effectively illustrates the meaning of both Adam Smith’s invisible hand—the possibility of cooperation without coercion—and Friedrich Hayek’s emphasis on the importance of dispersed knowledge and the role of the price system in communicating information that “will make the individuals do the desirable things without … Continue reading The “Simple” process to make a No. 2 Pencil

Political Cartoons: Late Oct. 2023
It isn’t just college. The indoctrination of today’s college students began in Kindergarten and continued on all the way through their Elementary, Middle, and High School educations. College students today have mush for brains, just as the Teachers Unions trained them. Black lives only matter when they are killed by white cops. If they are killed by Black cops, Black gang-bangers, Black thieves, or Planned Parenthood, they don’t matter. Some years ago when my niece was in school the teacher sent a note complaining about her to my brother (her father) which had spelling and grammar errors in it.
