‘Normal’ Problems and a Conundrum…

As our politicians and the mainstream media keep piling lies upon lies, folks on the ground, where the ‘action’ is, are getting worried enough to express their concerns. As in the following...

I wasn’t going to write about it…

I wasn’t going to write about the utterly cruel incineration of a human being by Allah’s Barbarians of the Islamic State, but I must offer a corrective to the widespread claim that it was ‘un-Islamic’ – it wasn’t – it was in full compliance with Islamic teachings. It is true that this monstrosity... Sign in to see full entry.

Terrorized and frightened, people in Europe are now paralyzed…

These are not my words, though they could have been. They also remind me of other words, uttered little more than 100 years ago in 1914, by Sir Edward Grey, at the outbreak of the war: “The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.” But there are... Sign in to see full entry.

Skewering Lies and Nonsense...

In recently answering a comment, I said something to the effect 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 probably knows the Dems will lose the White House next unless the GOP does something... Sign in to see full entry.

Response-to-Comments Day…

It isn’t as though there’s nothing else out there that ought to be discussed – far from it! But sometimes it’s actually more important to address comments, for a variety of reasons, one of them being that they help shed a light on that other stuff! Today I am trying to answer three comments to my... Sign in to see full entry.

Tariq Ramadan

Do you know of Tariq Ramadan? I didn’t think so – his is not exactly a household name in these parts, even though he’s one of the most dangerous Muslims around, and has been for years. No, he’s not a Muslim ‘terrorist’ – you’ll never see him with an AK 47 or a bomb in his turban – he doesn’t even... Sign in to see full entry.

A European Politician: Enough is enough…

Slovakia, tucked away between Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and Ukraine, is not exactly a major player in European politics. But what in some respects could be seen as a problem – in some circles it might even be seen as a ‘disadvantaged’ country, and hence the potential recipient of... Sign in to see full entry.

A brief observation…

As you are probably aware, today is the 70 th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz – the Nazi death camp that became the byword for the Shoa, the Holocaust that cost 6 million Jews and many others their lives. This is an important day of remembrance, and the words ‘Never again’, in Hebrew... Sign in to see full entry.

There was a moment…

There was a moment after the Charlie Hebdo massacre when it would have made sense for Western politicians to finally speak out! Remember that day in Paris when many of the Western world’s leaders walked, arms linked, at the head of thousands, in the famous ‘Unity March’? Admittedly, it was marred by...

The ‘Lone Wolves’ aren’t all that alone…

Our MM (mainstream media) love the term ‘lone wolves’! It suggests Muslim terrorists acting on their own are freakish and probably ‘crazy outliers’ who have nothing to do with Islam – after all, Obama has assured us of that, and how could he possibly be wrong? Occasionally, a bit of doubt does creep... Sign in to see full entry.
