I admit, I have a certain affinity for facts…II

Here are some fairly hard facts. The numbers you see below are from a British site called ‘Examine Islam’ that has access to local stats, and sources are cited; and while I cannot vouch for their accuracy, they are pretty well in line with a lot of other material I have come across. 1. – Muslim...

I admit, I have a certain affinity for facts…I

Especially for measurable facts! Which is why I like – okay, I promise, I won’t use the ‘S’ word today, LOL…But I may use the ‘N’ word – numbers, and the other ‘S’ word, statistics, that is also often misunderstood. Yeah, I know the old saw about ‘ Lies, damned lies, and statistics ’, usually... Sign in to see full entry.

These are not the folks you might think of…

You are quite familiar with ISIS, I’m sure, and you might remember al-Qaeda, even though they haven’t been heard of much lately. But of course there are many other outfits bubbling in the cauldron with that witch’s brew of Allah’s ‘irregulars’ – too many to list here. But these are different – these...

The latest in Christmas Concerts…

One is getting used to the epidemic of insanity that has gripped the ‘guilt culture’ of Europe – at least I am. But it's still shocking to begin to see its symptoms emerging even here in North America. I do hope looking at this will not dampen your Christmas spirit…... Sign in to see full entry.

Only one of you will remember…

That one is Corbin Dallas. He is the only citizen of Blogitville still around who read my very first piece here in ’06, which dealt with Iran ’s drive towards a nuclear bomb, and he welcomed me. A couple of fools ridiculed that post… A lot of time has passed, and a lot of things have happened, among... Sign in to see full entry.

The ‘Great Debate’…

Well, as these things go, it was not as bad as it could have been, nor as good as it might have been… I saw all of it, but shall refrain from commenting on any specifics but one – I’m sure the media ‘talking heads’ have provided plenty of the ‘analysis’ I don’t need... You may recall that the... Sign in to see full entry.

Straight from the camel’s mouth…

Let’s say you have a guest. He’s a guest because you invited him; these days it may also be a ‘guest’, someone who ‘invited’ himself, or was kind of ‘imposed’ on you by those who think that it’s okay and necessary to do so for all kinds of reasons we have no time to get into here… But hey, it’s a...

Let’s join the debate…III

The furor over Donald Trump’s position has not abated. I do occasionally take a look (a steady diet of it is just too tedious and mind-numbing), and heard B (etc) O speak of Trump’s ‘bigotry’…That’s nothing new, of course – just one stroke of the steady drumbeat of ‘bigot’, ‘racist’, ‘un-American’...

Let’s join the debate…II

In this series I am concerned with facts! It’s a commodity in short supply when looking at the media’s and politicians’ howls of outrage over Donald Trump's suggestion to temporarily halt Muslim immigration until the attendant problems can be dealt with. Beyond the accusation that it’s somehow... Sign in to see full entry.

Let’s join the debate…I

In view of the ongoing media ‘debate’ regarding Donald Trump’s demand for a temporary halt to Muslim immigration until the issue of the threat of importing more of Allah’s soldiers (beyond those already in the country) can be dealt with, I thought it might be pertinent to look at issues beyond that...
