Black American Triumphs Outweigh Our Tragedies

January 2, 2022 Tragedies, American, black, triumphs, Outweigh0 comment

It always seems as if the tragedies of black Americans—instead of our triumphs—remain center stage in the media. Discussions of our history focus on the tragedies of slavery, but seldom mention the ancient African civilizations ruling the world by the power of their wealth, intelligence, and strength. Archaeological studies of these civilizations have produced breakthrough discoveries and facts that somehow never reach the dinner table in black American homes. Media stories about present-day black America often remind us of a traumatic past, highlighting criminal activity and confrontations with law enforcement.…

Democrats are responding in typical fashion to Sen. Joe Manchin’s promised “no” vote on President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act: They are foaming at the mouth. According to Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., “It’s an example of Joe Manchin, as a white man, showing that he doesn’t care about black people. He doesn’t care about Latinos. He doesn’t care about immigrants. He doesn’t care about women, and he doesn’t care about the poor.” Bowman echoed Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., who said, “Joe Manchin’s opposition to the Build Back Better Act…

In 2021, Media Did More to Erode Trust Than to Repair It

It’s obvious that the media’s hatred for Donald Trump colored nearly everything they wrote or said during his presidency. But one hoped that after he left the White House, the media might recover a little objectivity. Sadly, a review of 2021 shows that in many cases, it simply did not happen. The case of actor Jussie Smollett’s fake hate crime came to a conclusion this month, revealing that media outlets still are eager to pounce on a racially divisive story and cast blame, but reluctant to examine themselves when the…

Democrats Reject Work Ethic, Embrace Freeloaders

The Democratic Party used to call itself the party of working people and hail the “dignity of work.” No more. Now, Democrats want to guarantee people who choose not to work an income funded by the suckers who do the right thing by showing up for work, caring for their family, and paying taxes. Fortunately, these self-supporting Americans just dodged a bullet. The failure to pass Build Back Better in Congress, thanks to holdout Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., means that the monthly checks or automatic bank deposits to parents with…

The Awful Year We Just Lived Through

As this is my last column of 2021, I thought it would be worthwhile to review some of the most important observations I made over the course of an awful year. I hope you agree, and wish you—and our country—a happier New Year. JAN. 5: These past few years have taught me not to so quickly judge the quiet Germans, Russians, etc. Of course, I still judge Germans who helped the Nazis and Germans who in any way hurt Jews. But the Germans who did nothing? Not so fast. What…

COVID-19 in 2021: The Year of Living Unreasonably

December 29, 2021 year, living, 2021, COVID19, Unreasonably0 comment

In 2020, Americans learned that if emergency dictated, we could lock down, mask up, and blow out spending to temporarily stymie the impact of a global pandemic. We learned that if uncertainty required massive response, we could mobilize massive response, including the creation of new vaccines within one year. And in 2021, Americans learned that it’s easier to flip the switch on toward top-down control and government dependency than to turn it back off. We have vaccines that likely reduce the chances of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 (somewhere between…
