Haitians don't stop being Haitians just because they've entered the American border. And hating #Trump like joyboy Buttigieg (aka Butt boy) does, just won't change the facts. They're eating the dogs and cats.

Over the course of my lifetime these are some of the film makers I have revered: Charlie Chaplin (more for his silent features than his talkies) and Shirley Temple, (both as a child and adult for the former and as a child only for the latter), Woody Allen (when i was a tertiary student in the 1970's and 1980's but less so now) Steve Bochco, primarily for the reinvention of what television can do through Hill Street Blues and Shawn Ryan and Micheal Ciklis for The Shield which I consider an even better drama than HSB and the best thing...

Lying in bed listening to music on my android pad the other night and ran across this song by Owen Mac, "Play Me the Waltz of the Angles" The young boy has a beautiful voice. What got my attention was when the camera would fade in and out to what would seem to be his father or granddad. Whoever he is, this old man looks exactly like me. Even shocked my wife when she saw the video. Take a look if you like but enjoy the song. I'll be 85 next month and most 85-year-old people aren't too good looking....

“To reach out to the Muslim world… to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.” There’s the Right Stuff (pictured above) and the Woke Stuff. NASA no longer has the right stuff, so all it’s got is the DEI stuff.Remember this? In July 2010, NASA chief Charles Bolden, an Obama appointee, told Al Jazeera that his boss had given him three priorities… none of them involving space exploration. The foremost priority for the agency once tasked with sending a man to the moon was “to reach out to the Muslim world… to help them...

I found this very strange behavior, even for Facebook: Some time ago, maybe a week I put up an article about Selena Gomez. Something I read 'a new giveaway scam making rounds on social media is using fake deep fake videos and ads of popstar Selena Gomez to promote free Le Creuset cookware sets. The convincing sponsored posts claim Selena is generously giving away thousands of dollars worth of Le Creuset products to fans absolutely free. However, the entire promotion is an elaborate ruse aimed at stealing users’ money through concealed subscription fees'.

As they bickered back and forth, DeSantis said, 'I'm talking about big conservative achievements. That's what the...

When restaurant staff said 'thank you sir' or 'yes sir,' she could be heard correcting them: 'I use she/her pronouns. I'm not sir....
