Touche’. How does it feel? On Friday December 20. 2024 the black newsource Shine My Crown ran this headline, “Black Lives Matters’ Cicley Gay Reveals White Man Started BLM Chapter And Donated $10 Million to Police.” In a troubling revelation, Cicley Gay, chairwoman of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, recently highlighted a significant challenge the organization faces in maintaining its credibility and identity. Gay shared that because “Black Lives Matter” is considered a rallying cry, not a trademarkable entity, anyone can establish a BLM chapter, fundraise under its name, and act in ways that conflict with the movement’s mission—often with no legal recourse. One alarming example Gay mentioned during her appearance on the Smittey and Dee podcast was a white man who started […]

In today’s time, why would you want to disarm yourself? The Chicago Tribune on Saturday December 14th., ran this headline, “Chicago police collect guns in exchange for gift cards ahead of holidays.” The timing of the Chicago Police Department’s two gun turn-ins Saturday was intentional. During the late days of December around Christmas and New Year’s Eve, when schools are shut down and offices sit mostly empty, many people spend more time at home. Lots of folks also visit the homes of relatives this time of year. Thus during the holidays, many have more chances to stumble upon guns kept […]

Leaving the rat race…On Sunday December 8. 2024, Fox News published this headline, “Americans flocking from major metropolitan cities to these southern ‘ex burbs’.” Haines City in Polk County, Florida — located between Tampa and Orlando — joins a list of several other southern communities which are experiencing a high population boom. Haines City has seen an increase of 30,000 new residents last year, according to US Census Bureau data, snagging the title as one of the “hottest migration destination[s] in the entire country.” Labeled as “ex-burbs,” these areas are usually 40-60 miles away from major metropolitan cities and can […]

This is no surprise. On Thursday November 28. 2024, the New York Post published this headline, “Best news of 2024: The collapse of ‘diversity, equity, inclusion’.” DEI is a bad idea whose time came with a vengeance several years ago, but now its continued ascendancy is in doubt. Perhaps the most important event this year outside of the presidential election is the intellectual collapse of so-called diversity, equity and inclusion, which is poisonous hokum that is finally being exposed as such. DEI has been one of the most morally perverse and damaging fads in recent American history. We’ve been spending […]

Education? Meh, who needs it. On Saturday November 9. 2024, The New York Post ran this headline, “NY school brass are set to let even unprepared kids graduate high school.” They’re really going to do it — scrap the Regents exams that have been a staple of New York education for more than a century and a half. On Monday, the State Education Department presented its timeline for ditching the exams; the Board of Regents is now expected to green-light it. The plan is to simply award “diplomas” to all students, whether they’ve learned enough to function beyond high school […]

Thanks for NOTHING!!! On Friday November 1. 2024, the New York Post ran this headline, “Tren de Aragua is driving Midtown crime — Joe & Kamala’s gift to NYC.” Nobody in New York City had heard of Tren de Aragua three years ago, but the now-notorious Venezuelan “asylum-seeker” gang is now a major plague on the city. The Post’s review of NYPD crime data reveals that TdA perps have racked up 517 arrests citywide this year alone. Some 41 Tren TDA gangbangers accounted for 143 arrests — almost half of them in Midtown’s busiest retail neighborhoods. Of the 517 arrests […]

Youth gone wild! On Saturday, October 26. 2024 the New York Post published this headline, “Why adults must regain control of out of control classrooms.” I’m hearing from teachers who say that kids are getting more disrespectful. Is that for real? What’s the evidence? As recently as 2018, 72% of teachers said that the stress of the job was worth it. But in a June survey by the Rand Corporation, only 42% of teachers said that the stress of the job is still worth it. The most common complaint now reported by teachers is not low pay, or nasty parents, […]

Pain and confusion? Maybe for the mentally ill. On Saturday, October 19. 2024 the New York Times published this headline, “Pain, confusion and compassion: How the US has reached a trans ‘tipping point’.” The past three years have been painful for transgender-identified young people. Republicans have blanketed the nation with bans on gender-transition treatments for minors, often pairing them with restrictions on trans bathroom access and sports participation. The latter has become of national interest as athletes like Lia Thomas and Riley Gaines battle for each side in public. These laws have descended many families into crisis and even drove […]
