Trump and the Russians: will the real news please stand up?
That was a parody of a line from the old TV show “To Tell the Truth.” It featured a person who had accomplished something but was not a well-known celebrity, plus two well-schooled imposters. The panel asked all of them … Continue reading →
Hope it’s the real fix

Things I’m grateful for: the last speech of President Obama

Not. This isn’t just a case of political correctness run amok. It’s a case of academic censorship in the name of race redress, and of a purposeful historic revisionism and willful drive towards ignorance. But isn’t that where the left … Continue reading →
CBS deceives about the racial angle of the Chicago torture story

Golden Globes 2017: speeches and fashion
First, the “speech” part. Apparently some remarks by Meryl Streep about Donald Trump have caught fire on social media, and everyone is weighing in pro and con. Well, maybe I should turn in my blogging badge, because I find I … Continue reading →
