Dr. Peter Hotez Weaponizes Medicine

Part of my job is to follow the news across the wide philosophic divide.  That connects me with a legion of personalities – anchors, analysts, reporters, contributors and panelists.  Some provide information. But for the most part, they come to the Fourth Estate with a partisan political bias – some more strident than others.  That also includes the so-called medical and scientific professionals. We are often advised to follow the science and listen to the scientists.  But they seem to have as diverse opinions as the politicians.  In fact, they…

Is Biden Abusing Kids to Appease the Left?

Migrants Waiting Outside Fence At Border

President Biden used his first day in office to ceremoniously cancel virtually all of President Trump’s immigration policies – even cancelling the paid-for and partially constructed border wall. The harshest criticism of the Trump administration was its allegedly mistreatment of kids – and families with kids.  There was the issue of family separation.  Even at the end of the Trump administration, Democrats and the media were pouncing on Trump for the hundreds of children who were not yet re-united with their families. It was a dishonest criticism.  It was said…

Baizou Movement vs. Woke Tankies

If you have no idea what the headline means, you are either over 50-years-old or not into the online social platforms – or both.  More simply, it is another version of the right versus the left – especially in terms of the social culture.  It is that eternal conflict between those committed to maximum personal freedom versus those who see the need for an elitist authority to control the social mores and folkways of we the people. The terms do have some history and nuances that may fine tune their…

White Lives Don’t Matter

Admitted … the headline is a bit of hyperbole, maybe even provocative.  But It is to make a legitimate point.  It has to do with the murder spree in Georgia.  By any measure, it is a horrific and tragic event.  Whatever motivated the shooter only provides context to a very sick and evil person. Although six of the victims were Asian, the shooter’s own confession – as reported by the police – suggests that he was not racially motivated.  Rather, it was an act of irrational rage against those who…

Native American Joins Cabinet, Media Loses It

Congresswoman Deb Haaland of New Mexico, has now been confirmed as the new Secretary of the Interior.  That makes her the first Native American to serve in the Cabinet. However, she is not the highest ranking Native American in our national government.  That honor goes to Republican Charles Curtis, who served as Vice President of the United States under President Hoover.  He was a member of the Kaw nation.  I am not sure if Mrs. Woodrow Wilson counts. She claimed Indian princess status as a direct descendant of Pocahontas.  And…

Jesuits Offer $100 Million in Slavery Reparations

The Catholic Society of Jesus (Jesuits) are putting up an astounding $100 million to be paid in the form of reparations for the slaves the religious order once owned.  The “settlement” involves the descendants of slaves the Jesuits sold in 1838.  At the time of the sale, the Jesuits had relied on slave labor for more than 100 years – buying and selling in the slave markets as was the practice at the time. Slaves were used in virtually all aspects of religious life – from attending to clergy, day-to-day…

Did This FBI Director Lie Under Oath?

The issue of the day seems to be the BIG LIES.  In all my years of commenting on public policy and politics, I find today’s environment to be the most fraught with false narratives.  The problem is exacerbated by a divided and emotionally charged public willing to believe the narratives offered by their side. What is particularly frustrating is that those in the public eye who we look to for honesty and objectivity do not seem to exist.  The statements presented on both sides of the political divide are diametrically…

The Media Maligns of CPAC

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is the latest target – victim, if you will – of the left-wing media’s unrelenting attack on all things Republican and conservative.  As any objective observer can readily see, the Big Seven (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times and Washington Post) have become unapologetic propaganda vehicles for the left-leaning Democratic Party.  And a plethora of others join them – mostly New York-based publications. The mendacious attacks go far beyond their visceral hatred for former President Trump.  It is expanded to engulf virtually…

Biden’s CIA: Back to the Future with North Korea

While the media lens seems myopically focused on only two issues – all things Trump and pumping up the Covid-19 crisis – there are a lot more things going on in the world.  Some are as – if not more – important than the blow-by-blow reporting on the former President and sensationalized fearmongering even as the Covid-19 numbers show significant improvement. For example, North Korea. When President Trump conferred with President Obama after winning the 2016 presidential election, the outgoing President told his successor that North Korea would be his…

Why Trump Needs a Great Speech at CPAC

Former President Trump is scheduled to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, February 27.  This may be among the most important presentations since Ronald Reagan addressed the first CPAC way back in 1974. I have periodically attended CPAC for more than 40 years – occasionally as a speaker or presenter.  From its modest beginning, CPAC has grown to be the most important and respected gathering of conservative leaders and believers in the nation –that is until now. If you have an addiction to the left-wing drivel…
