On the day of the second “Super Tuesday” of election year 2016, remembering all those overheard comments from people like Bubba and Harry Reid and others referring to the newly-elevated Obama as their “useful idiot”. In those days I knew something was amiss. Now after several years, it would appear that the problem has always been the…
As a point of introduction let me begin with this. Given that Chicago has a long history with Communism and the Left (Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, Saul Alinsky, Vernon Jarrett ring any bells?) it is no surprise that it was on full display for all to see this past Friday night as a cause célèbre…
CONSERVATIVE: ADJECTIVE 1. averse to change or innovation and holding traditional values: “they were very conservative in their outlook”; 2.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” ~ Winston Churchill Back in the heady days of 2014, McConnell, Boehner, Rubio, Ryan and the rest of the GOP establishment campaigned on cutting spending, defunding Obamacare, ending illegal immigration, defending…
Let’s face it right up front, folks – Barack Insane Obama is very far from being the lamest of the lame ducks ever to grace the American political arena; he will forever remain the most dangerous person in the history of the United States. Even after leaving office (willingly or unwillingly) he will continue to do as much damage…
There’s a very good piece in today’s American Spectator by its founder and editor, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., titled “The Death of Liberalism Updated” but before guiding you into the link, a few comments of my own. Going back in history a ways, the death of old line liberalism, exemplified by Adlai Stevenson, Hubert Humphrey, JFK,…
Hey kiddos, it’s time for Uncle Bill Whittle to read a story, a charming tale about a super breed of woman, a true leader from birth, Hillary Rob’em Clinton, so gather round and make yourselves comfortable. But before we get to the story a few remarks about who Hillary truly is, and how she got…
All-American Donald Trump may well be a stalking Trojan horse set up by the globalist cabal that really runs the American government and that of the entire globe but we may never know, since it appears that the GOPe will do all they can to destroy him. Additionally, one wonders whether any of the current candidates will…
Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, an indisputable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean the characters and conduct of their rulers. ~ John Adams A Constitutional Republic: the worst form of government except for all the others that is. Rude and…
SCJ Scalia was a staunch Constitutionalist. I have no doubt that his rulings were as close to the Founding Fathers’ intentions as possible. He will be sorely missed. Absolutely. He understood the separation of powers and that one branch was not all powerful; an understanding that is severely lacking in 99% of Washington today. I would argue that unpopularity, particularly…
