Remember this guy?

You may or may not – he has not been highly visible, and I can’t remember whether I mentioned his name when I wrote of the gaggle of Muslims Obama has appointed to important positions in his administration. One of them, a man by the name of Mohamed Elibiary, has resigned now, though I don’t think... Sign in to see full entry.

I did not watch Obama’s ‘strategy’ speech…

Instead I watched the Blue Jays play those other sad guys from Chicago, the Cubs, whom they beat 11-1. Of course the Jay’s victory was aided by Chicago ’s blunders, and I was wondering…oh, never mind. Hey, I have been to Chicago a few times, and I like it! I do know of course what was in that speech... Sign in to see full entry.

Some Canadians may be waking up…

Some of you, those who are not totally bored with this topic, may recall that on occasion I have said that Islam’s current phase of aggressive expansion represents a serious threat to our, i.e. Western Civilization, if not civilization plain and simple. It’s a threat that increasingly defines our... Sign in to see full entry.

Meanwhile in Africa…

While all the world is looking at The Islamic State (still called ISIS by our politicians and the media) and wondering what to do about it (though Obama has promised to reveal a ‘strategy’ tomorrow), take a quick look at Africa. Remember Boko (Western Education) Haram (Sinful)? Of course you all... Sign in to see full entry.

Another ‘Response-to-Comments Day’, and some Info…

Today I have two reasons for responding to comments: one is to clarify matters; the other one is that I’ve got a fair bit on my plate and little time to decide on what to pick or on whom…LOL Of course I thank you all for your comments without addressing each one individually – it saves typing… Justi...

Comments, bafflegab, and moving on…

First a response to a couple of comments: I’ll begin with mneme, who writes: "I learn something every time I read your work… thank you Naut…" And here’s my answer: Thanks mneme! I am vain enough to be pleased when people tell me they have learned something from me, and I’m not afraid to admit it.... Sign in to see full entry.

Responding-to-Comments Day, and no Debate…

My first response will be to our TAPS, who writes: “I'm not much on debating, not because I can't (I'm actually pretty good at it), but because I really don't think it changes much of anything.” And here’s my answer: An interesting comment, TAPS, which, I think, reveals an attitude not uncommon....

Responding-to-Comments Day, and (maybe) a Debate?…Part II

Thanks to adnohr, FSI, Kabu (why ‘tiptoe’, my dear? LOL), spiderfly (your comments really impressed me!), BCA and of course Afzal for all your comments, though I shall only deal with the latter’s comments in detail. It’s not entirely clear to me, my dear Afzal, whether you are or are not interested... Sign in to see full entry.

Responding-to-Comments Day, and (maybe) a Debate?…

This could become interesting! First, a response to adnohr, who asked a few days ago: “What is President Obama’s religion?” Here’s my answer: Thanks for your question, adnohr, but I really don’t know. I only know he attended services at Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, which may not mean... Sign in to see full entry.

September 11 is drawing closer…

While all eyes are on the goings-on in the Islamic State, including the latest murder of an American journalist, let’s take a quick look at an area a bit to the southwest – Libya. You all know, of course, that the US vacated its embassy in Tripoli recently in response to threats from Allah’s... Sign in to see full entry.
