Sultans of Swing: over and over and over…
[NOTE: I think we all need a break from depressing politics right about now.] There are certain songs that you love the very first time you hear them. At least, that’s the way it is for me. One of them … Continue reading →
That photo of Hitler holding the Bible like Trump did? Photoshopped, of course
But the left doesn’t care. Why should they? Lies are their daily bread. And they work. I wager that a few months from now, most Democrats will still think the photo’s real, and even if they don’t they still will … Continue reading →
Restoring order is a top priority, or should be
[NOTE: Here’s a recommended article by Andrew C. McCarthy entitled, “The President Has the Constitutional Power to Restore Order. He Must Act.”] We hardly needed any more proof that our society is in terrible trouble. But we’ve gotten it in … Continue reading →

For Mother’s Day – “The One Who Knows”
They laugh at gravity
There are women performers in Russian and Ukrainian folk dancing. But they’re really just decorative window-dressing. The men are the thing. And yes, they have ball bearings for knees, and springs in the soles of their feet. I first saw … Continue reading →
Don’t try this at home
But they did: Whoever planned and edited that did a fabulous job. I have to say, though, that this is not a form of dance that has ever especially appealed to me. I deeply admire the skill of those who … Continue reading →
