The ‘Debate’ that isn’t…

I was busy this morning with stuff, and now it’s past my time for lunch, but that’s okay – it may help me to take off another few ounces, LOL. I thought now I’d just read everybody’s posts, write a very short thing about Bennie that I had been postponing, then dive into one of the books that crowd... Sign in to see full entry.

From Oxford Press to Facebook…

Yesterday I told you about Oxford University Press and its diktat that henceforth authors planning to have their books published by them must forego any reference to things porcine. In order to avoid offending Muslim sensitivities, piggies and delicacies like pork chops, ham or bacon slices are no... Sign in to see full entry.

I barely know how to begin this…

I am almost at a loss for words! And I am angry – I’m pissed off! Because of what I’m about to tell you really hits home… You would be wrong if you assume that I am always angry when I am writing about the Islamic tsunami – I am not! I'm writing with the detachment one acquires ‘naturally’ in years... Sign in to see full entry.

You’ve heard of the Al-Aqsa Mosque…

(In English, “The Farthest Mosque) - it’s the one sitting in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount, the holiest site for Jews. (Throughout their history, Muslims have erected their mosques on top of other peoples’ temples and sacred places as a matter of principle!) It is impressive, and it’s also the...

Analysis and Intuition…

I just read Krisles’ post entitled ‘The Eyes Have It’, and, as so often, I am amazed by her powers of observation and her intuition! It’s all about Hillary Clinton’s ‘explaining’ her use of personal email for conducting government business while she was Secretary of State. Krisles ends by saying, “... Sign in to see full entry.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day…

Yesterday was International Women’s Day. I must confess: I did not go marching anywhere, waving a placard – in fact, I didn’t really take note of it, though I don’t mind those who did. One reason I really can’t get too excited about that event is that it doesn’t live up to its name! If you read it... Sign in to see full entry.

Krisles gave me yet another good idea…

In response to my post ‘It’s difficult to know where to start’, she writes in her comment: “ I was just doing some light reading - our Constitution and Declaration of Independence - I hadn't read them in awhile and thought I would refresh my memory on a few things. Thomas Jefferson certainly had a... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s difficult to know where to start…

Do I begin today by drawing attention to the fact that now, after having vandalized the Mosul Museum, Muslims are bulldozing the ancient city of Nimrud? This is not just a ‘local’ disaster - these ancient treasures are part of the heritage of all humanity! Do I tell you again about the treatment of... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s not just me…

Forever and a day I have been telling you that if we want to maintain our Western civilization; if we want to maintain our democracies; if we want to maintain the freedoms we have come to take for granted – if we want to do all that, we must unequivocally begin to speak of Muslim terrorism. We must... Sign in to see full entry.

And here’s another voice…

Even before Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made his superb speech before Congress, the U.S. mainstream media where all a-flutter, and continue to be. I have not paid attention to the details of Barack (ISIS-is-not-Islamic) Obama’s response, other than taking note of his remark that it was... Sign in to see full entry.
