It’s Wednesday, January 30th, 2019…but before we begin, why would a little thing like repeated ethics violations cause CNN to reconsider… …hiring another paragon of Progressive virtue?!?  Guess they couldn’t lure “Reverend” Al away from MSDNC. Since we’re on the subject of the judgmentally-challenged, as FOX News reports… Meghan McCain says she no longer calls herself a […]

It’s Monday, January 28th, 2019…but before we begin, we offer you a conundrum, a riddle as it were: what’s the difference between the impact of Hillary running again in 2020 on the Dimocrats’ chances of winning the White House and a Tu-22M3 landing in a blizzard?  Nothing at all.  So, as Speed Mach plaintively […]

It’s Friday, January 25th, 2019…but before we begin, as Matt Vespa relates at Townhall.com, this story just keeps getting better and better; or, from the Progressive perspective, worse and worse: Nathan Phillips’ Discharge Papers Released… And He Was AWOL a LOT   Hells bells: we got closer than Phillips to Vietnam when we vacationed in […]

It’s Wednesday, January 23rd, 2019…but before we begin, here’s a must-see video we received from our middle son Mike which hits on the theme of the Monday edition:  As the video suggests, especially in this time of Fake News and computer-generated imagery, take everything you hear or view with a grain of salt… particularly if […]

First up, consider this quote from an Atlantic article on the idled non-essential: “…Of course, for many of the […]

It’s Friday, January 18th, 2019…but before we begin, George Lawlor forwarded an item which bespeaks the ignorance and Veruca Salt mentality…  …of most Millennials: Broke teen who sold kidney for an iPhone now bedridden for life   We can only assume since he still has two eyeballs and lungs…and obviously doesn’t need perfect vision […]

It’s Wednesday, January 16th, 2019…but before we begin, can anyone explain why and when corporate America came to believe we wanted their moral guidance any more than a festering hemorrhoid, let alone required their assistance in understanding proper masculine conduct?!? P&G Challenges Men to Shave Their ‘Toxic Masculinity’ in Gillette Ad Spot pegged to #MeToo […]

It’s Monday, January 14th, 2019…but before we begin, after viewing this meme forwarded by Wink Martindale… …we got to thinking: there are undoubtedly a number of Dimocratic Socialists who would actually advocate such a position… …though perhaps not in public…at least not yet!  (Hat tip to Speed Mach for the AOC meme!) After all, once healthcare, […]

It’s Friday, January 11th, 2019…but before we begin, a few brief comments on the recent shooting in Houston of a 7-year-old Black child.  We’d like to just mention her as a “7-year-old child”, but the Black racial animus sown and cultivated by the half-White Barack Hussein Obama has grown to proportions so endemic they don’t […]
