American cities are inflamed once again. The tinder being the murder of a black man, George Floyd, at the hands of a thuggish white police officer in Minneapolis who handcuffed him and choked him to death by placing a foot on his neck while three other police officers blandly observed. Floyd was accused of the heinous crime of passing a counterfeit $20 bill. But another recent racial incident has received less attention. A gentleman, Christian Cooper, was bird watching in Central Park when he became annoyed by a white woman, Amy Cooper (no relation), whose unleashed dog was interfering with his hobby. When he suggested she leash her dog as per Central Park policy, she called the police. Perhaps Ms. Cooper was aware of the well-known violent tendencies of bird watchers, but it is also possible she called the police because Mr. Cooper is black. In fact she said so during the call. A video recorded by Mr. Cooper showed she was not wearing a MAGA cap at the time and further … [Read more...]
Tara Reade’s Accusations against Biden Put Democrats in a Tough Spot
A credible accusation of sexual assault has been leveled against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. America’s ruling class, the liberal media and hypocritical feminists circled the wagons to protect him, but they were unable to prevent social media, Fox News and conservative talk radio from forcing the issue. Biden will have to give a credible response or Democratic Party insiders will force him to step down. And so far, he is failing. Ms. Reade worked on Senator Biden’s staff in 1993. She alleges that Biden pushed her up against a wall, inserted his finger into her private parts and said,” Come on, man, I heard you liked me." When she rebuffed him, Biden responded, "You're nothing to me, nothing." A similar charge was leveled against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford accused Kavanaugh of attempting to rape her at a party while they were both teenagers. Feminists, the media, the academic community and Hollywood rose up to castigate Kavanaugh, proclaiming “Believe all women” and giving rise to the #MeToo … [Read more...]
Voters Must Believe That Elections Are Fair
Years ago, my cousin voted in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Like Connecticut, when you vote in Pennsylvania, the staff looks at the list of voters and crosses out your name. When she looked at the list, she saw my grandmother’s and my Aunt Lucy’s names crossed out, as if they had already voted. The problem was that Grandma Bentivegna was dead and Aunt Lucy had moved to New Jersey years prior. But they had voted in Scranton. And it is safe to say that they did not vote Republican. The Democrats are using the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to convince Americans that they are risking their life by voting. Thus, they are recommending the increased use of mail-in voting, early voting and absentee ballots while extending the time periods before and after Election Day. But in today’s polarized political environment, it is crucial that voters believe in the integrity of the ballot box. Allowing absentee ballots is not unreasonable. Many voters are elderly and a trip to the polls is arduous, … [Read more...]
