Why I am not on Facebook (or Twitter)

I often have friends ask me why I am not on Facebook, since they all are.  They are constantly updating their profiles, and commenting on their news feeds.  They also complain a lot about other users violently disagreeing with them on Facebook, and doing so using nasty language. Well, I am a 67-year-old woman, and …

Cutting Off Their Noses to Spite Their Faces (Liberals hurting the groups they claim to support)

Always and everywhere, Liberals and groups like Acorn, claim that they support and work for the little guys, the downtrodden, the discriminated-against, the oppressed, the have-nots of society.  But when it comes right down to it, in the crunch, they favor themselves, and their white liberal cronies in big labor unions and politics, and their …

Read this, from today's Jerusalem Post.  You may be shocked, but I'm not.  Author Caroline Glick tells it like it is.

Save Hillary? Donate to Her (undeclared) Campaign?

There has been a great deal of commentary regarding Mrs. Clinton's recently-released book, in which she tried the "poor me" defense.  So far, she hasn't been able to pull the proverbial wool over the eyes of most potential purchasers (I heard that the publisher printed over one million hard copies, and fewer than 15% have …
