The speedy and brilliant fact-checkers at the WaPo have come up with a correction

The New Neo Posted on January 22, 2019 by neoJanuary 22, 2019

I just found this correction in which the WaPo admits that Nathan Phillips is not a Vietnam veteran. Fancy that. It’s something the right half of the blogosphere suspected almost immediately. I had made a comment or two about it, … Continue reading →

RIP John McCain

The New Neo Posted on August 26, 2018 by neoAugust 26, 2018

John McCain has died of brain cancer. He was a man who lived many lives, and lived them fully. He started out as the son and grandson of four-star admirals, went to the Naval Academy, and was a rebellious young … Continue reading →

The napalm girl photograph: the myth continues

The New Neo Posted on May 22, 2018 by neoMay 22, 2018

It never seems to end, does it? I’ve written about this famous photograph several times before, at great length here for PJ Media, and also here and here on the blog.

John Kerry at it again, doing what he does best

The New Neo Posted on May 5, 2018 by neoMay 7, 2018

One of the many many perks of the end of the Obama administration was the long-hoped-for fading away from public life of John Forbes Kerry. When I looked at that Wiki entry of Kerry’s I was surprised to see that … Continue reading →

Gun control: in crisis there is opportunity

The New Neo Posted on February 21, 2018 by neoFebruary 21, 2018

As you can see from today’s headlines on memeorandum, the Parkland shootings are being used as a springboard for advocates of more gun control. This is hardly unusual; it’s regularly done after each such event. Some would say these tragedies … Continue reading →

“Could we be wrong?” asks a journalist

The New Neo Posted on December 27, 2017 by neoDecember 27, 2017

I agree with the sentiment expressed here, that journalists need to question themselves more: With the rise of the Internet and disruption of institutional media, many journalists have cheerfully shrugged off the ideal of objectivity. This certainly makes tweeting easier, … Continue reading →

More on the Ken Burns documentary about Vietnam

The New Neo Posted on October 10, 2017 by neoOctober 10, 2017

Here’s a roundup of reactions to the Ken Burns documentary about the Vietnam War. Sounds as though Burns’ work was subtly pernicious. [NOTE: As I explained earlier, I didn’t watch it.]

Ken Burns’ Vietnam

The New Neo Posted on October 2, 2017 by neoOctober 2, 2017

I’ve already said that I wasn’t going to watch Ken Burns’ documentary on Vietnam, and why. But of course lots of other people have watched it. Here’s a report from Powerline’s Scott Johnson: Watching the Ken Burns/Lynn Novick documentary history … Continue reading →

Were Medevacs in Vietnam armed?

The New Neo Posted on September 22, 2017 by neoSeptember 22, 2017

In yesterday’s post I mentioned that during 1968-1969 my boyfriend had been a door gunner for a Medevac helicopter. Commenter “Bumsrush” raised an interesting question in response: I was there 67-68. Huey gunship pilot. Nine months Vietnam, 3 months NKP … Continue reading →

Ken Burns’ “The Vietnam War”

The New Neo Posted on September 21, 2017 by neoSeptember 21, 2017

Have you watched the series so far? I haven’t. I’ve actually heard good things about it. But I can’t bring myself to watch it. Maybe someday. I’ve read many books about Vietnam, and countless articles. I’ve written a lot about … Continue reading →

On insulting half your audience: I never watch the Emmys, but if I did I would have stopped by now

The New Neo Posted on September 18, 2017 by neoSeptember 18, 2017

Apparently the folks who participate in the Emmys have come to feel that their mission is to put down Trump and his supporters, which is approximately half of the country. I wouldn’t think that this would be good for ratings—or … Continue reading →

Who lost Vietnam?

The New Neo Posted on August 31, 2017 by neoAugust 31, 2017

I’ve spent a lot of verbiage on the Vietnam War over my years of blogging. All you have to do is look at the category “Vietnam” on the right sidebar, and you’ll see that the number of posts on the … Continue reading →
