Donald Trump and the Pharisees Four Years Later I think the Good Lord gave me some small ability to heap insult and ridicule on dumb people and evil ideas, but I haven’t used my gift as well as I should. It’s been bothering me, because I truly believe God allowed Donald Trump to teach me..
You probably are one. No, I don’t mean the sort you might find renting a trailer on Uncle Dawson’s pea farm, after finishing a 10 year stretch at the Tucker, Arkansas Maximum Security Unit, or the sort you might find in a Hollywood “look how far we’ve come” flick. We all know those guys are..
What sounds more like Jim Crow than Jim Crow? Imagine the perils, for example, of a police force unable — completely — to restrain a black assailant merely because he’s black? Where does that leave the rest of us in a street mugging or a bank robbery?
..what do you do with them? I have had hundreds of exchanges like this one with earnest young people (mostly young ladies; in an earlier age they would have been the severe, sexless sisters of Unitarian missionaries), who insist, without blushing, that you simply cannot be racist towards white people, particularly white men.

This is..
Forget About This Virus; Are You Ready To Be Seen as a Walking Disease? If I properly understand the sort of world the various Pandemic-Oberführers are proposing, I’m surprised that more people — however many lives may be saved — aren’t pondering the freezing chill about to descend on our culture, and the eerie speed..
Writing, for me, without Facebook, is something like feeling the “mental tickle” of an observation that might do someone some good — something that will make them laugh, or cry, or experience righteous anger — and then finding the best way to say it: you know, you writers, how it goes, make the words count,..
Death to the New Normal For Americans who have watched “emergency” field hospitals being taken down and mercy ships leaving port without having treated any Commie Flu patients — for people capable of balancing health risks against quality of life — the “new normal” is looking something like a slow, ultra-hygienic and managed death —..
