Did the Civil War Really Happen? Where Is Evidence?
Mr. Lincoln’s address is Gettysburg
Since they did not have to get up for work the next morning, the next afternoon or the next evening for the rest of their lives, white and black racists showed up for a sadly historical passage one night last week in Memphis. After a ranting and panting campaign to remove statues of Confederate heroes, the boys and girls were … Read More
Tell Me Again: Who Set the Middle East on Fire?
Oops. Trump protestor tries to set himself on fire
As you may know, it is President Trump’s fault only two Palestinian terrorists were killed last week. Darn. More were predicted — and desired — by desperate Democrat doomsayers.

She was magical. He seemed outsized – the combination of his gargantuan size and bravado advanced the apparently wrong signal. He looked … Read More
Call Her The Amy Who Stole Christmas
Forget The Grinch. Meet The Amy Who Stole Christmas. As you know, it has been powerfully offensive for years to irreligious leftists to wish anyone, even in the privacy of his kitchen, with the lights off, to wish Merry Christmas to another human. Sometime in the ‘90s, I think, leftists commanded all Americans to hereafter confine their December wishes – … Read More

Goldilocks, Three Bears and a Gender Editor
That was three days before Christmas, and look what The New York Times has done: Become the first (and hopefully last) newspaper on planet earth to hire a gender editor. Schlepping down the long, dusty, sometimes lonely, road of life, you may be pardoned for idly wondering, what does a gender editor do? Jessica (I Am a Victim) Bennett, who … Read More
