I am a minor-league philanthropist. I give modest sums to animal shelters, the preservation of wildlife, children’s hospitals, my local public library, the Simon Wiesenthal Foundation and several other organizations and institutions. I don’t give to universities, lest they think I encourage their wanderings from their true mission—although I have considered giving $5,000 to Northwestern University, where I taught for 30 years, and earmarking the money to be spent exclusively on a Jewish tight end for the football team.
I have never given money to politicians or political parties. Yet I am about to send a $200 check to Liz Cheney for her Wyoming congressional campaign. Ms. Cheney, who is trailing more than 20 points in the polls against Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman, appears all but guaranteed to lose her congressional seat in the Aug. 16 primary. She says she has been unable to campaign openly because of credible death threats posed, one assumes, by ardent Trump supporters. The Republican Party in her home state has abandoned her. It not only endorsed Ms. Hageman but flatly refuses to recognize Ms. Cheney as a Republican.

Kind of sad.
OMG, inbelieveable.
Excellent point. Years ago I sent a small amount of money to the famine relief organization Oxfam, because of the disaster in Cambodia from the Pol Pot situation. Around that same time I gave a small donation to the local PBS station. I began getting letters from various left wing organizations. I think I also got letters from Democrat politicians. Not sure which of those donations triggered it. Even though I was a liberal then I found it rather disconcerting.
RE Peggy: We are quick to see our own faults in others.
She is a pompous narcissist.
ha ha, i know what you refer to.
DWFs would not approve of the site.
From replies to me...it appears to be quite a pattern of either changing course, OR revealing their true feelings for some time now.
She has been so credible and believable to date, I'm sure she wouldn't like about this, either. I mean, right?
I call Bea Ess on this, Joseph Epstein.
But, have at...as if it matters.
The Dem/RINO/Globalist brigade is out in force, for Lizard Lady.
The cabal protects their own....and, they attempt to destroy anyone who calls out their evil deeds.
Ms. Hageman but flatly refuses to recognize Ms. Cheney as a Republican.
Big deal so does everyone else.
His opinion pieces appeared in The Weekly Standard on a regular basis. I wonder if Bill Kristol called him up to congratulate him after this article came out.
I love seeing stupid people throw their money away on stupid stuff...almost as much as I love seeing back-stabbing RINOS get their just deserts.
I worry about almost anything you put in front of me. But as to 2024, I’m more worried about being alive then (and me not yet 30), in good order and the good graces of the Lord, than I could ever be about Liz Cheney’s presidential ambitions.
He's a talented writer about literature. I got tired of him over the years. He's too much the curmudgeon, and can be kind of a jerk. He is with this article. But seriously, the abuse is over the top. It's possible to disagree with people without calling them every name in the book.
So he whines he doesn’t have money, but then lights $200 on fire and throws it to the ground…
She’s going to lose, so I’m very happy to hear a lot of
Leftists (Communists) are donating big sums to her.
Destroying at least part of the wealth of the Left is
a very good thing.
But he sure looked good in that cowboy hat, very convincing too. /s
Something about a fool and his money.... comes to mind.
I remembered him shooting the guy while hunting.
On February 11, 2006, then-United States vice president Dick Cheney shot Harry Whittington, a then-78-year-old Texas attorney, with a 28-gauge Perazzi shotgun (S/N: 115288) while participating in a quail hunt on a ranch in Riviera, Texas.
Harry M. Whittington is still alive at age 95.
He was wearing a fluorescent orange vest when Cheney shot him at a relatively close range.
