Okay, let’s just forget, for a moment, ‘who’ or ‘what’ exactly is providing fake news. The ‘who or what’ of this matter is not really the point. Despite the fact that fake news is becoming a serious issue, the real issues are apparently not being addressed. You often hear people say things like “Websites can block whatever they want because they own the websites and have a right to do that.” or “Who really has the right to define what is real and what is fake?”. So let’s address these things separately.

Just when it seems President Trump has run out of surprises, he goes and fires incompetent FBI Director James Comey.  Hillary Clinton has to be shaking in her pant suit right about now. There is a TON of commentary out there today about Comey’s ouster; I recommend the Wall Street Journal‘s editorial “Comey’s Deserved Dismissal” […]

Steve Deace over at Conservative Review has a piece up entitled “Needed:  A New Conservatism” (read it here).  Deace claims that, much as the Democratic Party left Ronald Reagan, so the “Republican Party left” him.  He argues that the debate over the soul of the conservative movement has hardened into Manichaean “Absolute Always Trumpers” and […]

In a surprisingly thoughtful and sympathetic review for the New York Times, columnist Joe Klein argues that the triumph of Donald Trump is really the triumph of Pat Buchanan’s fifty-year career in journalism, punditry, and scholarship.

Or so it would seem.  While I had high hopes that Marine Le Pen […]

On Thursday, 4 May 2017, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to the IRS, instructing it to “exercise maximum enforcement discretion to alleviate the burden” of the 1954 Johnson Amendment, a tax provision that prohibits churches from endorsing or contributing to political candidates or parties.  The amendment has never truly been enforced, but the […]

Last night I was about to go to sleep and a friend called full of excitement saying did you see what Trump just did? He ended CVE! CVE is Countering Violent Extremism. I have written a few articles exposing their friendliness with the Muslim Brotherhood and the granting of special privileges for members of the […]

I am so sorry Kathleen Parker, Washington Post Writers Group, does not read my local newspaper, the Morning News. If she did she would realize the “Black” is not a bad word. Recently on air and in this publication, I addressed the topic head on. I explained how I have asked many “Blacks” and “African-Americans” […]

Never know what a day may bring. Beginning the day “In the Pickle Barrel”, then to Charleston to help a class of first graders plant a garden. I have a selection of seeds, seeding pots, planting soil, some winter plants to place in the garden until the seedlings are ready to transplant. Oh, a lot […]
