I’m going to count my blessings … my loving husband, my kids and grandkids, still having my parents kicking around and I’m still on the sunny side of the lawn. And friends .. near and far. I’m also grateful to have been born an American. I love this country and its ideals, its history and principles and don’t care if patriotism is at best a corny joke to those uber-sophisticated

In light of Whip Scalise’s David Duke problem…
I thought it might be fun to revisit my conversations with an expert on the subject of rank racialism. And no, I’m not talking about RSM, who may or may not be — Oh, forget it. This is about Rep Scalise (whom, incidentally, I have mostly contempt for, though not about this, necessarily) and David Duke. And of course, the leftist media’s double standards. Water being wet and all.

life update, 2
Well, Christmas and Hanukkah each brought with them a new puppy, which means I’ve been spending a lot of time cleaning up secreted piles of dog crap and soaking urine out of the various rugs in the house. — Which is precisely why, after steam cleaning the latest dropping out of the crevices of a wool “stone” rug and gagging through the entirety of it, I ordered a bunch of

Post-Christmas Quick Takes [Darleen Click]
Our calendar is still filled with Christmas-y visiting and today is a travel day for us, so a few things that have caught my eye … When you give a parade and no one comes, maybe it’s time to rethink the concept. Not a lot of love for de Blasio. Egypt bans movies Exodus: Gods and Kings as Zionist film. The Left-feminist faux-hysteria calls of wolf “rape culture” have collapsed

Merry Christmas, all!
Here’s wishing you peace, love, whale noises, and frisbee for the Holiday Season. After that, back to Obama’s socialist hell.

life update
Nothing says Christmas better than “YouTube will livestream The Interview,” amiright? Anyway, just found out that my brother — you know, “Goldie,” — has retained a lawyer in Maryland. My guess is, he received notice (as an interested party and potential heir) that I’d filed my Mom’s new Will with the Registry of Wills in Baltimore County, and that he’s going to try to contest it. I welcome that. Because

“The Big Lie of the Anti-Cop Left Turns Lethal” [Darleen Click]
From Heather MacDonald Since last summer, a lie has overtaken significant parts of the country, resulting in growing mass hysteria. That lie holds that the police pose a mortal threat to black Americans—indeed that the police are the greatest threat facing black Americans today. Several subsidiary untruths buttress that central myth: that the criminal-justice system is biased against blacks; that the black underclass doesn’t exist; and that crime rates are

French driver screams ‘Allah Akbar’ while slamming car into crowds [Darleen Click]
But don’t you dare jump to conclusions! French authorities say that 13 people were injured Sunday when a driver deliberately slammed his car into crowds in several locations around the city of Dijon in eastern France, amid reports that the driver was heard shouting “God is great!” in Arabic. Sky News reported that witnesses also heard the driver shouting that he was acting on behalf of “the children of Palestine”

“American Soldiers’ Support for President Obama Breaks All-Time Record” [Darleen Click]
Approval drops to 15% It’s no secret that President Obama has been an unpopular commander-in-chief with servicemen and -women for a while. But now, his approval rating among active-duty members of the U.S. military has fallen to an all-time low of just 15 percent, The Military Times reports: “Obama’s popularity — never high to begin with — has crumbled, falling from 35 percent in 2009 to just 15 percent this
