Fake News: Caravan Confusion

Perhaps it is just my Florida perspective, but the caravan of migrants heading for America’s southern border reminds me of our frequent hurricanes. They start out a long way away, and they grow as they approach the border. We get daily reports of the progress. We are never quite certain what will happen when they reach landfall. Will it just be utter devastation or just a bad hair day. And … they always result in political fallout. The caravan of migrants currently passing through Mexico is a bit of a…

The DNC is Breaking Apart

Democrat supporters created a movement that split their own party in half There is a new hashtag movement in town, and it’s doing its very best to split the left down the middle. Founder Brandon Straka created the #WalkAway movement which encourages unhappy Democrats to leave their party for good. They even held a march that had over 700 supporters in Washington, D.C. recently that got a thumbs up from a tweet by President Trump, himself! “#WalkAway from the Democrat Party movement marches today in D.C. Congrats to Brandon Straka…

The Shameful Al Sharpton

You may not be aware of the fact that President Trump hosted a large group of young black future leaders at the White House. They did a lot of applauding and cheering for Trump’s remarks. After the President completed his remarks, the enthusiastic crowd surrounded Trump to shake hands, take selfies and get autographs – some on Make American Great Again baseball caps. In view of the relentless accusations that Trump is a racist, this was quite a newsworthy event – unless you are the #NeverTrump elitist news. If you…

Democrats: The True Threat to Our Republic

If you believed what the hardcore left is saying these days, you would come to the conclusion that the election and presidency of Donald Trump is a threat to the Republic – to the entire foundation of our democracy. America is about to descend into totalitarianism. Oh, we can certainly understand their disappointment in the 2016 election. However, they are taking up the battle in the form of the #NeverTrump Resistance Movement – which has been the most extreme reaction to a legitimate election since those southern Democrats started breaking…

Un-backpacking the Millennial Vote

Democrats are talking a lot about the gains they expect from Millennial voters – the 18 to 35 age group. Much of the energy necessary to produce the blue wave depends on those younger Americans. Democrat optimism is predicated on a hope-based theory that, itself, is based on two assumptions – that young voters will come out in greater numbers than ever before and that they will be voting overwhelmingly for Democrats. This theory poses a problem for pollsters in creating their all-important demographic samples. What happens if they build…

Freedom of speech is something to #CROW about

I am an extremist when it comes to free speech. The only limits we should respect are the restrictions against defamation by slander – making oral false and damaging statements about another person — or libel – making false written statements or creating false images damaging about another person. That’s it. Everything else is protected – or at least should be – by the First Amendment of the Constitution. Obnoxious, offensive and disturbing as it may be, hateful speech must be protected by the First Amendment or no speech is…

Elizabeth Warren, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and me

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has issued her long-sought DNA report along with a campaign-style video romanticizing her claimed Indian heritage. Before we get to addressing the new information that she has provided, we should look back on the life of First Lady Edith Wilson, wife of President Woodrow of the same last name. Mrs. Wilson? What on earth could that Victorian-born lady have to do with Elizabeth Warren and Indian ancestry? Well, allow me to explain. First Lady Edith made quite a stir in the upper circles of society when…

Trump Raises the Issue of “Stop and Frisk”

President Trump has been calling for the return of the police procedure commonly known as “stop and frisk.” Basically, it means that if a police officer has reason to believe that a person is carrying a gun, possesses illegal drugs or has pocketed stolen loot, he can detain the person and search him or her. The practice was green-lighted by then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to combat a rising crime wave in the Big Apple. It is credited with reducing crime and getting a lot of guns off the street.…

Kanye West becomes modern-day Frederick Douglass or Booker T. Washington

One has to look at history to find a time when a Black American made more news by being a guest at the White House than did rapper Kanye West. Yes, the election of Barack Obama was historic, but not as a guest in the White House, but as the first person with significant and notable Black heritage to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. West is more in the tradition of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. Douglass was a friend and informal advisor to President Abraham Lincoln. Many believe…
