The most stunning part of this article lies buried in the use of a phrase long considered to be at the very core of the problem between whites and blacks in this country... Nearly 250 years ago. Back then there was a universal belief by whites that blacks were inferior, somehow, and not considered worthy ... Read More

God's fingerprints are all over America as it was founded. And other than the nastier DNA he'd injected into individual men thousands of years earlier, Satan was noticeable by his absence at America's founding. All the people who came to America arrived with their standard share of wrath, envy, pride, and a sea-chest full of "don't give a ... Read More

#NeverTrumpers come in all sizes and shapes, but at the top of that pyramid isn't George Will because his reserved seat around the Washington Post's Members-Only swimming pool isn't as glamorous as it once was. The kings of Trump-haters have been the Karl Rove political consultancy class and their networks. Since the Reagan years they'd pumped billions into political campaigns (with ... Read More

Joe Biden should be the poster child for everything that is wrong with race relations in this country. Despite being every bit as much the same bumbling idiot today as he was when Obama picked him as his running mate, he has, single-handedly, come to epitomize the fundamental problem in the Liberal Progressive anti-racism movement ...

An Introduction “Apologetics” is generally defined as religious arguments originally used by early church fathers to defend what would eventually become Christian doctrine, to both non-believers who had no particular religious beliefs, an act of persuasion, and to others who had interpreted the tale of Christ and its meaning differently, an act of defense against false doctrine ...

This entry was initially intended to be a quick remark about Michael Moore once again inserting himself into the national conversation... Presuming that any of us gives a rip any more about his opinion than anyone else's... And mocking him for being a fanboy of those babes in the so-called "Squad". But as I skimmed ... Read More

Late in life Mark Twain had to go on the road to raise money to pay his creditors because he'd invested poorly. In the process he probably invented stand-up comedy, which Vaudeville probably stole. Over the years I've collected several of his one-liners. At one of his sessions he mentioned that he wanted to shake hands with the Devil. "He must be a ... Read More

If you are a liberal this is code for racism and white supremacy... Or something. If you're everyone else, America first simply means that our needs - as a nation - should come before all others. It's not a complicated idea and has worked, more or less successfully, for two and a half centuries. The ... Read More

I ran into an interesting book of illustrations from 1942 by an artist named Constantin Ajalov, entitled Conversation Pieces. I did an art piece centered around The New Yorker's cartoons from World War II, all about the socialite women, who, in the 40s were almost exclusively Rockefeller Republicans, who were very funny, indeed.  Ajalov was ...

Do you know me? No one in Bulgaria does, either. His name was Raiko Daskalov, and he was a small-time labor organizer who died in 1923, while the communists were still an illegal underground movement. But 1986 was the 100th anniversary of his birth, soooo… This is how it works, beginning soon at a post office ... Read More

Just a reminder. This song was written in the 1950s by an Irishman named Behan, who had friends in the IRA. It was a much requested song by IRA members, and recorded by the Clancy Brothers, Joan Baez, and others, as well as the Kingston Trio in the early 60s ... Read More

For years we've been steered toward the old Soviet Union as the model of Marxism to both admire and hate in America. In the process very little notice has been given to Maoism and the rise of the cult of personality that surrounded the most violent and cruel decade, 1964-1974, in modern human history. It was called the Cultural Revolution. But very ... Read More

I developed a habit of crossing myself when I first went to USSR in 1991. I'm not Catholic or Orthodox, but to spend two months in Soviet states that were atheist by law can make anyone aware of his church teachings as a youth...if he was lucky enough to have had any in the first place ... Read More
