Allowing the waters to rise…

No, I am not talking about the terrible situation in Texas, particularly Houston! That is a natural disaster, and I really don’t know what to say about it, apart from expressing my heartfelt sympathy for all those tens of thousands suffering in this unprecedented flood, hoping this disaster will...

A bit of good news for a change…

I came across this news item today, but of course not in our ‘Lamestream Media’, to use Corbin’s excellent term… Linda Sarsour’s Terrorist Friend Stripped of Citizenship, Permanently Banned from U.S. An associate of Linda Sarsour and an organizer for the Women’s March – who is a convicted terrorist...

Malaysia is often touted as a 'moderate' Islamic country…

Is this man flipping out? Part II

Today just a few more comments on Erdogan’s newspaper’s silly claim that Turkey could defeat ‘ Germany in three day and France in one hour’… But of course it wasn’t the paper that initially came up with that claim, but George Friedman of Stratfor, an interesting outfit that I am only tangentially...

Is this man flipping out? Part I

You may recall that a little more than a year ago some Turkish army officers attempted to reverse the Turkey ’s continuing Islamization by ousting Tayyip Erdogan, but were defeated. Most foreign governments spoke out against the coup attempt, and Erdogan cracked down hard. In the meantime, though,... Sign in to see full entry.

Even in Australia...

If you’re listening, as I am, you can hear these Antifa types just about daily now, although the MSM don’t make too much fuss about them – for all kinds of reasons I have no time for. It's becoming clear that even Australia has been infected by the disease... And no – the Antifa are not the disease!... Sign in to see full entry.

A True Believer…

Eric Hoffer was one of the most interesting American thinkers of the 20 th century. He kept working as a longshoreman even after the tremendous success of his first book. The title of that book is The True Believer, and well worth reading, as are his later books. If you’re not familiar with Hoffer,... Sign in to see full entry.

What’s happening in the United States?

I hope all our Americans read this, but of course our Canadians as well. What we have here is a seemingly minor ‘small town’ incident in New Jersey with major implications. If you’ve read my posts for a while, you’ll know that I’m not easily shocked. But that a court in the United States of America... Sign in to see full entry.

Rotterdam…

As some of you may recall, I went to Europe earlier this year. And as usual, I took a flight to Amsterdam, my ‘gateway’ to Europe. Amsterdam has always been one of my favorite cities, not least because of the Rijksmuseum which, at least in my eyes, rivals the Louvre. The train from Schiphol Airport... Sign in to see full entry.

From the Wacky World of Californian Academe…

Unfortunately it’s not just wacky – it’s also extremely dangerous! And to give you even more think about: What you read below is not found in our mainstream media as far as I know – I got this from Israel! Here it is: US Professor: “How come we don’t have intifada in this country?” University of... Sign in to see full entry.
