Cal Thomas: America’s Expiration Date — Will US collapse in 2026?

By Cal Thomas | Fox News – Jan. 21, 2020 – for Fox.news Must nations, like a library book, be renewed if one wishes to keep it beyond the date stamped in the back? If you are too young to remember libraries and borrowing books, think of the date stamped on milk cartons, which indicate its sell-by date beyond which the milk can turn sour. In my new book, “America’s Expiration Date: The Fall of Empires and Superpowers … and the Future of the United States,” I examine eight empires that believed their economic strength and military power were enough … Continue reading Cal Thomas: America’s Expiration Date — Will US collapse in 2026?

Five myths about the Great Depression

RUSSELL COATES SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 ECONOMICS – from Learn Liberty My cmnt: My mother, her brothers and my father lived through the Great Depression. FDR’s programs for helping people through these tough times, times he largely caused and exasperated, made my mother and her siblings life-long democrats. This tactic of taking a situation and drastically making it worse by bonehead policies and then throwing tons of taxpayer money at it to “fix” the problem has been highly successful in endearing people to the democrat party since at least FDR. The Great Depression is one of the most misunderstood periods in American history.  … Continue reading Five myths about the Great Depression

Ron DeSantis, Black History and CRT

Florida has a point in rejecting AP African-American Studies. By The Editorial Board – Jan. 27, 2023 6:26 pm ET – the WSJ When parents complained that Critical Race Theory was creeping into their children’s classrooms, the left argued that CRT is strictly college material and isn’t actually taught in K-12 schools. So how can progressives object now that Gov. Ron DeSantis is blocking a new high-school AP course in Florida on grounds that it’s stuffed with CRT? Florida rejected a planned Advanced Placement class in African-American Studies because it “lacks educational value” and “is a vehicle for a political agenda.” In response, … Continue reading Ron DeSantis, Black History and CRT

Lucas Aulbach – Louisville Courier Journal – The Aunt Jemima name and image have been pulled from Quaker Oats’ famed pancake mix boxes, but the basis for the original Aunt Jemima — based on a Kentucky native — hasn’t been pictured for years.

Did the U.S. government infect people with syphilis and gonorrhea?

By Seema Yasmin – Jun 27, 2016 – for the Dallas Morning News Yes.  My cmnt: Democrat doctors in communist Russia, Nazi Germany and America (i.e., Dr. Anthony Fauci) have no qualms with experimenting on people, animals or whole populations in their quests for medical knowledge. This long history of medical abuse by authorities was repeated in 2020 with the overblown democrat response to Covid-19. Possibly 100,000s of people died in the U.S. alone because Fauci and friends pooh-poohed the use of readily available and inexpensive drugs like HCQ while lying about the effectiveness of masks and the vaccines. Some children … Continue reading Did the U.S. government infect people with syphilis and gonorrhea?

Blue State Blues: The Pete(r) Principle

Stefani Reynolds – Pool/Getty Images JOEL B. POLLAK – 13 Jan 2023 – for Breitbart.news My cmnt: The Peter Principle is that quite often people will be promoted to their level of incompetence. This simply means that management (or any entity with authority to promote someone up the ladder – even the voting public) have no real idea as to the competency of any given candidate for taking on additional responsibilities. Sometimes by sheer luck the promoted person turns out to be capable. Typically he or she does not.

Did FDR End the Great Depression?

Lee Ohanian – 5-Minute Videos – Oct 09, 2017 – for Prager U My cmnt: No, he made it worse and extended it by ten years. Did President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal economic policies pull the country out of the Great Depression? My research clearly suggests that the answer, contrary to popular belief, is no. In fact, the New Deal made matters worse. Let me explain. The centerpiece of Roosevelt’s New Deal plan to fix the economy was the National Industrial Recovery Act, or NIRA, which the President announced with great fanfare in June of 1933. FDR believed that he … Continue reading Did FDR End the Great Depression?

A great commander in chief abroad does not always make a great president at home.

That is the case when it comes to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  My cmnt: I agree with the author, Amity Shlaes, that FDR was a horrible president at home. As the transcript below shows he was a command-n-control, communist-loving autocrat when it came to battling the Great Depression, a depression that HE made great, by his domestic policies. Like Obama and especially O’Biden he handed out goodies from the treasury and by government policy to voting blocks who tended to vote democrat. My cmnt: However I disagree that he was a great commander in chief. He and his hand-picked generals made … Continue reading A great commander in chief abroad does not always make a great president at home.

By Jen Wang – Jan 04, 2023 – Vogue My cmnt: I publish this nonsense because my readers need to be aware of the blatant hypocrisy of so-called “climate activists” who tend to be very wealthy, jet-flying, partyers who make little attempt to hide nor address their hypocritical lifestyles of extravagant, ostentatious displays of wealth and luxury in food, clothing, housing and travel. You may have heard by now that Billie Eilish is in a relationship.

The Feminist Economy: Men without Work

By GEORGE GILDER – January 23, 2017 – for National Review Men without Work: America’s Invisible Crisis, by Nicholas Eberstadt (Templeton, 216 pp., $12.95) From the Amazon review by Charles C. W. Cooke. Nicholas Eberstadt’s landmark 2016 study, Men Without Work, cast a spotlight on the collapse of work for men in modern America. Rosy reports of low unemployment rates and “full or near full employment” conditions, he contends, were overlooking a quiet, continuing crisis: Depression-era work rates for American men of “prime working age” (25–54).   The grim truth: over six million prime-age men were neither working nor looking for work. Conventional unemployment measures … Continue reading The Feminist Economy: Men without Work

Op-Ed: The dark side of Kwanzaa’s founder can’t extinguish the holiday’s beacon

By Chanté Griffin – Dec. 23, 2018 3:10 AM PT – for The LA Times My cmnt: This poor deluded soul found out a little of the truth about Kwanzaa’s founder but not all of it. See Ann Coulter’s column here for the rest of the story. I discovered Kwanzaa while attending Pomona College. Separated for the first time from my family and the black Pentecostal church I had attended at least three times a week, I craved black culture. There were fewer than 10 African American students in my cohort and I felt culturally isolated.

Happy Kwanzaa! The Holiday Brought to You by the FBI

December 28, 2022by Ann Coulter – her column My cmnt: Ann publishes every year the truth about Kwanzaa and its origins and founder. This is a necessary service as the democrat-media-education complex lies about it every year. This complex continues to indoctrinate young skulls-full-of-mush (thank you to the late, great Rush Limbaugh) on the various campi throughout America never daring to reveal the whole truth about this FBI originated “holiday” just for black people. It seems like all I hear these days is how liberals are red-hot for teaching history, while retrograde troglodytes on the right are demanding that we … Continue reading Happy Kwanzaa!

The Government Wasn’t Intended to Be a Charity, Much Less to Take Money From You and Give It to Others

By Mike Miller | 12:30 PM on January 02, 2023 – for Red State With visions of Joe Biden’s $1.7 trillion omnibus dancing in my head, I have a question for my Democrat friends and people who reap the benefits of my largess: How much of my money belongs to you and why?  To further the point as we continue, I want to begin with three quotes that perfectly encapsulate the reality of today’s Democrat Party. The first comes from noted Austrian-British economist Friedrich A. Hayek: There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting … Continue reading The Government Wasn’t Intended to Be a Charity, Much Less to Take Money From You and Give It to Others

Why do women – and so few other animals – have periods?

EUSci9 April 2020 Image credit: Patricia Moraleda via Pixabay My cmnt: I include this topic because the Left-Lib-democrats have started saying and demanding that men can have periods. This is sooooo ridiculous I want to note again the obvious. My cmnt: In the article below I changed all the words “human” back to “women” since ONLY women can have periods and that is how the article was originally written before the PC-police got a hold of it.

Biden’s next big blunder: Springing ‘merchant of death’ Viktor Bout to try to bring home two Americans from Russia

By Post Editorial Board July 28, 2022 7:22pm – New York Post  Updated President Joe Biden is bucking yet again to add to his ever-growing list of blunders: He now reportedly wants to trade “merchant of death” arms dealer Viktor Bout for two Russian-held US hostages, Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan. Big mistake. Yes, get Griner and Whelan home — but not this way. For starters, neither of them is accused of anything even remotely as horrific as Bout, who’s serving 25 years for arms trafficking and conspiring to kill Americans. Douglas Farah, who’s written about Bout, says he supplied weapons to “the most vicious warlords … Continue reading Biden’s next big blunder: Springing ‘merchant of death’ Viktor Bout to try to bring home two Americans from Russia

Bloomberg News: President Biden made a bad deal for Brittney Griner

My cmnt: O’Biden deserves NO credit whatsoever for “bringing” Griner home. After leaving 100s of Americans and Afghans who worked with us behind in his disgraceful Afghanistan troop withdrawal we all saw his true colors. The reason this brain-dead, demented Faux-president made a horrendous trade for Griner is that she represents everything the democrat base deems important. As a female, androgynous, black, lesbian, basketball player she checks all of the boxes of a top democrat constituency. She represents the ultimate in the democrat hierarchy of victimhood. My cmnt: Like his buddy Obummer, who exchanged known Taliban terrorists and murderers properly … Continue reading Bloomberg News: President Biden made a bad deal for Brittney Griner

An Ode to Two Years of Unified Democratic Governance

It’s hard to put into words just how bad, how horrible, how devastating to America these two illegitimate years of O’Biden have been. This senile, old, vile fool could only have been elected by blind, partisan Marxist democrats and by cheating through election fraud gotten away with by using the excuse of Covid-19. Under President Trump we had the best economy – for everyone: blacks, Hispanics, women and children – in 60 years plus low inflation, low fuel prices, low unemployment and high labor participation rates. We were respected by our allies and feared by our enemies. We had achieved … Continue reading An Ode to Two Years of Unified Democratic Governance

When government presumes to reshape society, the result is likely to be gory. by Myron Magnet – Fall 2020 – Claremont Review of Books books reviewed Great Society: A New History Reparations for slavery, you say? Well, we tried that experiment, in the $20-plus trillion spent on welfare, Medicaid, housing, and food stamps for the mostly minority poor since Lyndon Johnson declared his War on Poverty in 1964. As Amity Shlaes shows in her cautionary Great Society: A New History, those trillions only made matters worse. As the clamor swells to compound LBJ’s mistake, Shlaes provides a sobering postmortem, dissecting how and why, when government … Continue reading Poverty Won

What is the purpose of life?             

By Lord Buckbeak 7/28/22 It goes without question that God has placed us, completely and miraculously, on this earth for a purpose. But what is that purpose? The Westminster Catechism asks the question this way: “What is the chief end of man? The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.” This is certainly a clear and direct answer to the question of purpose for all sentient, created beings – from angels to archangels, cherubim to seraphim, men, women and children – we are all created to glorify God by enjoying his presence forever. But this … Continue reading What is the purpose of life?

Young Americans Voted to Ruin Their Lives

Dennis Prager |  Nov 22, 2022 | for Townhall.com This week, The New York Times published a column by a left-wing academic (forgive the redundancy), John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics. In his first sentence, Mr. Della Volpe reveals his politics. He described young Americans as “stressed and sickened by thoughts of their rights and democracy slipping away.” That is what Harvard and just about every other university tells America’s young people: “Because of the Right, you should be stressed and sickened — the Right is taking away your rights and destroying your … Continue reading Young Americans Voted to Ruin Their Lives

Shocking harsh Brittney Griner prison conditions revealed

“Overcrowding, abuse by guards and inmates, limited access to health care, food shortages, and inadequate sanitation.” By Kevin Harrish on October 31, 2022 – for thecomeback.com After Brittney Griner’s nine-year prison sentence following a drug conviction was upheld last week, the WNBA star will now be sent to a Russian penal colony to serve her sentence since the United States and Russia have been unable to work out her release, despite ongoing negotiations. The prison where Brittney Griner will serve her sentence is not like the prisons in the United States. It’s much harsher and much more dangerous – especially for somebody like Griner.

Why The Left Hates God, Family and Country

By Scott Hogenson | Oct 22, 2022 | for Townhall.com Rob Schneider is a funny guy. A lot of his humor is irreverent and better suited to the Beavis and Butt-head demographic but his physical comedy and sense of timing are hilarious. His Saturday Night Live skits as the Richmeister / makin’ copies office nerd still crack me up 30 years later.  But there’s more depth to Schneider than his off-color gags and pratfalls suggest. During a recent interview on Fox News in which he explained why he is moving his family to Arizona from California, Schneider touched on the biggest threat facing America … Continue reading Why The Left Hates God, Family and Country

“You ain’t Black if you don’t vote for me”

JEROME HUDSON 22 May 2020 – for Breitbart.news My cmnt: I’m reposting this column by Jerome Hudson as a reminder of just how vile Joe Biden and the demoxrats are. The party of racism, slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow and Lyndon Johnson has, through the unceasing help, lies and propaganda of the MSM, Hollywood, the public schools, university professors, and the entire welfare state – managed to rebrand itself as the party of love and compassion. Of course all of these people and social entities also think that Satan was unjustly banished from Heaven. Joe Biden saying, “You ain’t black” … Continue reading “You ain’t Black if you don’t vote for me”

Charter Schools and Their Enemies

Since the 1990s, the charter school movement has taken off across the United States. These charters are essentially public schools with fewer bureaucratic hoops to jump through, and their impact is often positive, especially in underprivileged minority communities. Despite their net success (or perhaps because of it, as Sowell points out), charter schools represent a threat to many comfortably ensconced traditional public school systems. Economist and Stanford research fellow Thomas Sowell has gathered the relevant data and urges the American people to understand this movement and the systematic subversion it is encountering. By Thomas Sowell – as reviewed by Thinkr.org … Continue reading Charter Schools and Their Enemies
