Yesterday a bunch of females (I think?) decided to put on knitted pussy hats and march to protest the president, or equal pay, or abortion, or actually, I have no clue what the hell they were marching for or against. In the news the protests seemed to have various protest causes at particular marches across…
Almost every visual or audio clip if the protests of the election of President Trump include a sign or someone using the word “fascist” of “fascism.” I find it Interesting that so many use the term “fascism” to describe something that at its root, is nothing but socialism with a thin patina of capitalism covering…
Yesterday, many members of the commentariat opined Trump’s inaugural speech was a Rorschach test of sorts, that each person interpreted the imagery created by it according to their own perspectives. There were interpretations ranging from the Antisemitism of Hitler to the patriotism of Reagan. As the usual suspects in the leftist media wiped away their…
From THE OYL 2017.1.20 EDITORIAL: SOME THOUGHTS ON THE LEFT”S REACTION TO TRUMP’S INAUGURATION Eight years ago today, Obama was inaugurated. Some time before that, Rush Limbaugh famously quipped that he “Hoped Obama failed” and the Left lashed out at him and all those who agreed with him. The Left claimed it was racist and…
I and many like me never bought into the “Jerry McGuire” idea that you had us at “Hello.” Neil Sedaka says that breaking up is hard to do…but with you, it really isn’t. Not for me anyway. Mr. Obama, I need to be honest, I won’t miss you at all – but I know who…
After the star turn of the three uber-progressives (in the sense that a Three Stooges movie is a “star turn” for Larry, Curly and Moe), Senate Democrats Patty Murray, Fauxcahontas Warren and Comrade Bernie “I’m a socialist but have three houses” Sanders, there has been a bit of teeth gnashing from the partisans on the…
My grandfather always told me that you learn the most about a man when he has nothing to lose. I thought about this lesson last night as I wound up my workday and began to ruminate on the pardons, clemencies and the commutations being issued by soon to be former President Obama. Thankfully, the…
Pundits are saying “Well, the Republicans shouldn’t be saying anything about the what the Democrats are doing due to what Trump did” – equating Trump’s membership on the birther team with what the Democrats are doing now. I always thought the birth certificate thing was stupid but there is a difference. Trump and the birthers…
Enough about The Civil Rights Icon Formerly Known As John Lewis. This isn’t about him. It hasn’t even been about Civil Rights for 50 years. Let me explain what I mean before the progressive left starts attacking me for being a racist for having the temerity to question Saint John of Edmund Pettus Bridge. Congressman…
I’m not here to argue for or against either side in these matters. Instead, I am going to ask the reader to consider a little history. When I’m finished, I’m going to ask a simple question. Then you’ll have to decide what your answer says about the things you actually believe as opposed to what…
Wow. I just got off the phone with a Facebook friend who is also a friend in real life who read my little post about being stuck between a rock and a hard place regarding Trump, agreeing with some of the agenda, disagreeing with other parts. He took it as an “Ah ha!” moment that…
