Two Liars and a Man of Courage…

I had planned to comment on the Muslim terror attacks in Copenhagen, the kind we'll see ever more of, but shall instead say a few words about the situation in Libya. As you probably know by now, 21 Egyptian Christians were slaughtered by Allah’s ISIS warriors on the beach near Tripoli. David... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes even I am almost speechless…

The shooting of three Muslim students at Chapel Hill, N.C., was a terrible crime which will not go unpunished. But here’s something that shows the unmitigated gall some ‘Muslim entities’ possess and display for all the world to admire… The Group Accusing an ‘American Extremist and Hateful Racist’ of...

What is more dangerous than AIDS, Ebola and Cholera combined?

Well, if you click on the link below you’ll find out. Yes, it’s a few years old – I hope Wiley forgives me! He objects to ‘news’ that doesn’t show anything but the most recent date stamp! Of course this isn’t really ‘news’ anyway, but an example of a way of thinking almost as old as the hills, if... Sign in to see full entry.

Between Romance and Kalashnikovs - the Women of 'Islamic State'

It appears that my tales of the European dilemma find little resonance here, judging by the dearth of comments! Of course, it could be they are simply shocked into silence, LOL, so maybe I should leave it alone for the moment.., But there is so much going on, it’s difficult to decide what to write...

I’m not the only one…

In a recent post, the one entitled ‘Skewering Lies and Nonsense’ (found here http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos/854175 ), I wrote, “…that Obama is now in a position to pretty well do and say what he wants. He no longer has to worry about an election, his or anybody else’s, and he... Sign in to see full entry.

Response-to-Comments Day

Yet another RtC day – as always inspired and sometimes enforced by readers’ comments. (Actually there's only one as it turned out - the others will have to wait! Otherwise not even the reader I'm responding to here is going to read it, LOL...) Today’s response is kind of enforced, as you will see,... Sign in to see full entry.

A European Potpourri…

A Thought Experiment…

Thought experiments are not real experiments; they are simply elaborate ‘what – if’ constructs, used by physicists, historians, sociologists and possibly even politicians to try and get a grip on some bit of reality. One of the most famous thought experiments is the one devised by Erwin, known as... Sign in to see full entry.

Who is right – Obama or Muhammad?

For quite some time now Obama has assured us that ISIS is not Islamic – but, well, as hard as I tried, I couldn’t quite understand that – maybe I’m just a slow learner, LOL. But recently Obama has upped the ante, as it were, and has come out swinging in defense of Islam in a way that has even some... Sign in to see full entry.

Today a Buffet…

I realize that a buffet ought to offer delicacies, though I have encountered some that offered anything but. Today’s offerings are of the kind that fall into the category of ‘sensible breakfast’ – no delicious Canadian back-bacon and eggs with slices of lightly fried tomatoes, no Belgian waffles...
