A few of our memories, pets. The last pictorial, my wife, swinging on that back yard swing with the rooster R. I. Red, at her right side.

In 1938, Lloyd Lionel Gaines, a young black scholar from Mississippi, filed a suit against the University of Mississippi School of Law after being denied entry because he was “colored.” The Supreme Court eventually ruled that under the “separate but equal” clause Mississippi had the obligation to either admit him or establish a separate law school to accommodate people of color. Mississippi chose to do the latter. The NAACP planned to challenge the inadequacy of the school, as was their strategy against the tone-deaf “separate but equal” laws of the day. Unfortunately, Gaines never saw this suit completed: He disappeared...

Columnist David Hon might not be an underwear model, but he knows what he wants in a relationship -- and what he doesn't: irrational hatred of his DNA.Last week, Hon penned a column titled "Why I'll Never Date A Feminist." In response, feminists ... well, they proved his opinion to be a wise one.Wrote Hon: If you look for a reason to hate men, chances are you’re going to find it. The truth is, I don’t blame women, (especially in my generation) for hating men. They’ve been told there’s a wage gap (I disagree). That there’s a culture of rape...

What is cyber warfare and why should you care? That question was one that this writer asked himself many times. I thought that it had to do with someone stealing my personal identity. You know, opening a charge account in my name or emptying out my bank account. I, probably like many reading this, paid no attention to it until recently being hit with someone emptying out my bank account. And then, like the proverbial person who closes the gate after all of the horses have escaped, did I try to learn more about it. While there are no easy...

Hillary Clinton Statement About 9/11 (very funny)

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign issued a explainer condemning a cartoon frog meme for allegedly being a symbol of white supremacy. The “Donald Trump, Pepe the frog, and white supremacists” explainer includes an image shared by Republican presidential Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., referencing Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” statement:

The Obama administration plans to admit 110,00 refugees to the United States next fiscal year, Secretary of State John Kerry told Congress on Tuesday. The proposed level of admissions represents a 57 percent increase over the 70,000 refugees admitted in FY 2015 and a nearly 30 percent increase over the administration’s FY 2016 refugee admissions target of 85,000, including more then 10,000 Syrian refugees. Following Kerry’s announcement, the Senate’s most vocal critic of Obama’s immigration policies — Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions — chastised the administration for ignoring the American people’s “opposition” and the “documented link between terrorism” and individuals...

There are no coincidences when you’re dealing with the Clintons. Left is right and right is left and reality is unreality in the twisted 3D universe they inhabit. After collapsing at the 9/11 Memorial on Sunday, Hillary Clinton’s aides demanded that she be taken to her daughter, Chelsea’s multi-million dollar condo at 21 E. 26th St. 4th Floor, New York, NY 10010. Following protocol, the Secret Service wanted to take Mrs. Clinton to the ER at Bellevue Hospital, not to a private residence. As reported by US Defense Watch and Free Republic last night, Chelsea Clinton’s apartment is currently on...

“She has incredible communication skills. She is not only a Harvard grad who is brilliant, but she has incredible insight and knowledge on every important issue of the day,” Fox News’ Sean Hannity said, adding, “On top of that, one of the nicest people on television and a huge asset to the Trump campaign and any show she is on. A.J. just crushed it on TV — a total natural talent.”

The Obama administration shocked the oil industry last week, pulling the plug on a major oil pipeline from the Bakken that had become a flashpoint between a pipeline company on the one hand, and a growing coalition of Native American tribes and environmentalists on the other. Everyone was anxiously waiting a Friday ruling from a U.S. federal judge, who was weighing a request from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to stop construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline, a $3.8 billion 1,168-mile oil pipeline that would run from North Dakota to Iowa and Illinois. The pipeline would threaten sacred lands and...

The self-righteous hindsight of the left exposes itself again as progressive writer Lawrence Ware suggests, “Put simply, we need a new national anthem…” In an article published by The Root on September 12, Ware urged for the rewriting of the national anthem due to the “vicious legacy of who wrote this song and what it represents.” He referenced a Counterpunch article which argues that Francis Scott Key, the author of the national anthem, was a pro-slavery, black abusing, religious nut. To ask black people to stand for the national anthem, Counterpunch argued, is comparable to asking a Jewish person to...

Any idea where the smartest woman in the world is? I have been assured she just stumbled, has allergies, one hour pneumonia, and the old standby dehydration. I also learned it's normal to faint and collapse and she is powering through because she is after all also the strongest woman in the world. So where is she?

Just another brief note about taking the reins in hand against the various leftist areas of nonsense. While many of their protesters are running around in the streets, doing whatever it is they do, you can always home in on the financial aspects of virtually anything. Of course it's not always financial. Just read another article about crime being way, way up in Baltimore. Whether it's acknowledged in polite society or not, the cops here and in other places, when they were pushed against they essentially took a powder and disappeared. Milwaukee too. Chicago, Detroit? People, if they think can...

On Wednesday night, South Park will be returning for its 20th season. The season premiere will feature a song that makes fun of San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the Black Lives Matter supporters who have rallied behind him. The Comedy Central animated series is always quick to give its take on the highly-controversial topics of society. The 30-second promo for the upcoming season shows the citizens of South Park singing a humorously different version of the National Anthem. The new lyrics are... Colin Kaepernick is great Cops are pigs, cops are pigs Wait, someone just took my...

The tour, which is scheduled to run from Sept. 11 to Sept. 17, will include will include stops in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Colorado — all crucial states in Trump’s bid for 270 electoral votes. To generate interest in the bus tour, Great America PAC is inviting along a “VIP” list that includes actor Jon Voight, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and conservative radio show host Hugh Hewitt. The group is also hoping to enlist former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a prominent Trump backer who has appeared in some of Great America PAC’s TV ads....

As I write this on September 12, the latest CNN poll has Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in a “near-even race” for the presidency of the United States. At PlasticsToday, we did our own online survey but asked our audience to rank the candidates on a single issue: Who would be best for U.S. manufacturing. Setting aside missing emails, the bromance with Vladimir Putin, trustworthiness and temperament, and sundry other issues, we asked the PlasticsToday audience to respond to a specific question: Disregarding all other qualities and flaws of the presidential candidates, who do you think would best represent...

While liberal women are buying running shoes to escape rapists, I imagine that there are millions of patriotic American women who have a different game plan altogether The past year, more than one million immigrants from the third world, almost exclusively younger men, came to Germany, and the country is currently experiencing a historic rape wave without equal, which many expected would happen. This has led Germany’s Federal Criminal Police, BKA, to advise German women on how to best protect themselves against rape. [Among the] tips for women from the BKA: Wear sneakers instead of high heels so that you...

Democrats have been determined to shove Crooked Hillary down the throats of the electorate and now she’ll be shoving her hefty self down theirs While Democrats are calling today’s meeting to maybe replace Hillary Clinton for the presidency, we deplorables call it a political strategy to scupper Election 2016 for populist Donald J. Trump. Trump, after all, can’t win if he can’t run. Democrats look hungrily at granting their Dear Leader Barack Obama a 3rd term in office to finish off America in his dirty, spite-inspired ‘Destruction of America’ mission.
