Replacing History: My Cowardly Republican Senator

One of my Senators (R-OK) introduced an amendment to Senator Cornyn’s (R-TX) bill proposing that Juneteenth become a national holiday. The amendment is to replace Columbus Day for Juneteenth.

Unleash the Comedians…

Here is a very brief clip from those glorious days before the CCP virus gave the collectivists an excuse to control, monitor and micromanage society. It’s of an Irish comic called Mary Bourke at Comedy Unleashed in London. I do hope this club gets going again, but it’s a small venue and I can’t see […]

Virus versus Virus

Last Friday night, I came down with a sudden bout of chills and fever of 101.8.  The whole event took 15 minutes to develop.  Pretty sudden.  Aside from some joint aches,  no other symptoms.  The fever lasted 6 hours. As I lay there on the couch shaking with chills and sweat,  all I could think […]

Freedom of speach vs freedom of expression

The constitution does not mention freedom of expression, yet that is all we hear anymore. Everyone is now using “freedom of exprression” in place of “freedom of speach.” But, clearly they do not mean the same thing, otherwise there would be no need to use a different terminology. Whenever I hear it, it makes me […]

Observation: Big Tech is not “free market”

“They’re a private company – they can do what they want.” We’ve all seen leftists say this as they defend Silicon Valley’s blatant suppression of conservative people and ideas. To say, “they’re a private company” is to suggest that private property and free market economics are the ideal, and those values should be protected in […]

Since the Afterburner clips don’t seem to be available on this site, I’ll comment here.  I noticed a couple of things when picking up a prescription yesterday after my chemo appointment. (Since I was already on site, it […]

Hebrew Word Of The Day

“Beit” means house. “Lechem” means bread. Bethlehem means “House of bread”. Jesus,  David, and Naomi were born in Bethlehem. It’s an important city to Jewish and Christian history, but Arabs live there today and Jews are not welcome. Those Holocaust survivors who fought to make a homeland for their descendants, the very homeland so rich […]

Don’t Abandon Afghani Women

Afghanistan is sitting on an unmined treasure trove of one trillion dollars worth of rare earth and other minerals. If we pull out of Afghanistan, China and Russia will swoop down like vultures and enrich themselves. One can imagine the slavery, forced prostitution, and bribes to the Taliban that will follow; the Afghani government will […]

911 Call blown off

This is a 911 call made to Fredericksburg VA PD by a woman with a young child who ended up caught up in one of these “protests”.  I can not imagine the terror after watching hours of the videos of masked people, burned out buildings and cars, etc etc over the last month or so. […]
