Is Georgia still riddled with electoral fraud?

  The results of the Republican primary elections in Georgia this week have given much cause for concern. Brian Kemp was getting 52% of the votes and his main challenger, David Perdue, was getting 38% of the votes just before the race. On Primary Day in Georgia, Kemp gets 74% and Perdue gets 22%. Nobody… Continue reading Is Georgia still riddled with electoral fraud?

Without class, without compassion and without a clue

  Two reactions to the Uvalde shooting, and the murders of 19 elementary schoolchildren, made me see red yesterday. The first came from former President Obama (although, to be fair, he may not have made these tweets personally:  they may have come from a person on his staff – but if so, he needs to… Continue reading Without class, without compassion and without a clue

“Gun violence”: putting the blame where it’s due

  Many people have pointed out over the years that one race in particular has a gun violence problem, rather than America as a whole.  The latest study by the CDC confirms that. During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. saw the highest firearm homicide rate in more than 25 years, according… Continue reading “Gun violence”: putting the blame where it’s due

Of course it’s “grooming”!

  Politifact has put out an article purporting to show that gender and sexuality “education” in schools is not grooming, but merely addressing actual issues where children need support.  I don’t propose to quote from it here;  if you’re interested, you can read it at the link provided above. I’ll merely post links to certain… Continue reading Of course it’s “grooming”!

Pennies, pounds, and politicians

  Looking at the state of the country, I’m reminded more and more of an English proverb that my parents drummed into me when I was growing up:  “Look after the pennies.  The pounds will look after themselves.”  It referred to money (English currency), and basically said that if one doesn’t waste pennies (i.e. small… Continue reading Pennies, pounds, and politicians

Fuel prices . . . OUCH!!!

  Yesterday I took some empty jerrycans to the gas station to refill them.  I treat the contents with PRI-G to extend gasoline’s useful life for up to two years, then store it as an emergency reserve, rotating the cans and refilling them on a regular basis. I expected to pay high prices, because we… Continue reading Fuel prices . . . OUCH!!!

So much for “underaged” or “minor” refugees…

  We’ve known for a long time that many (probably most) of those claiming refugee status at our borders, and those of European nations, aren’t really refugees at all.  They’re economic migrants, desperate to reach a country that can offer them a better life than the hellholes they’ve left behind.  To get in, they’ll lie,… Continue reading So much for “underaged” or “minor” refugees…

Big Brother doesn’t need to censor you. Instead, he’ll bankrupt you.

  Matt Taibbi points out that Paypal and others are acting to shut down funding for alternate media that are not “toeing the Party line” when it comes to the news of the day.  In effect, they’re using financial sanctions to censor them. In the last week or so, the online payment platform PayPal without… Continue reading Big Brother doesn’t need to censor you. Instead, he’ll bankrupt you.

Yet another example of Big Tech trying to manipulate US politics?

  One hopes that with Elon Musk taking over Twitter, that platform at least will become more even-handed in its approach to US politics.  Sadly, the same may not be true of Google, as this report suggests.  Its authors are themselves partisan, so keep that in mind when you read it. An alarming study released… Continue reading Yet another example of Big Tech trying to manipulate US politics?

Has pedophilia become a national disease?

  Francis Porretto asks the question. We’ve had a rather substantial amount of evidence to the effect that organized pedophilia is rampant among the higher-ups in government, entertainment, and the media. Jeffrey Epstein was incarcerated for suspicion of it, and died while awaiting trial. Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of it and is serving a long… Continue reading Has pedophilia become a national disease?
