The Year of Our Lord 2020 – has been a long stretch of very bad road. Fair is foul – foul is fair. Down is up – up is down. Swine are sprouting pinions and taking to the air. I think often of the cinematic classic “The Lion in Winter”: Henry II: “The day those […]
It’s a perpetual case of Chico Marx’s famous line: “Who ya gonna believe – me or your own eyes?” The World Wide Web will quickly deliver you all sorts of ridiculous excuses from people engaged in criminal activity. I Closed One Eye to Stop Seeing Double So I Could Drive Drunk I’m Not Drunk, But […]

The Marxist morons burning, looting and destroying large swaths of our nation – are a lot of really awful things. One thing on which they are absolutely awful? Respect for private property. A flaw they share with many elected Democrats. These masked marauders can’t destroy private property – and/or steal it to establish myriad CHOP/CHAZ […]
