No doubt Russia needed to retaliate after ISIS blew up a Russian plane, killing 224. No doubt France needed to do the same after ISIS terrorized Paris, killing 129. The problem is that both Russia and France have retaliated in a manner that will do nothing to stop ISIS from launching similar attacks … or war-stricken… Read more.

Down Goes Rousey! Down Goes Rousey! Holly Holm Shocks the World!
Mixed Martial Arts fighting (MMA) is arguably even more barbaric than cockfighting or dogfighting – as Michael Vick might contend. Therefore, only the animalistic part of my nature explains why I am such a big fan. (At least Boxing purports to be “the sweet science of bruising.”) Because of its barbarity, some might find it ironic that… Read more.
Global Outpouring for Paris Makes Beirut Feel ‘Forgotten’
Chances are very good that, like virtually everyone else, you found some way to express solidarity with and sympathy for the people of Paris after Islamic terrorists launched deadly attacks there on Friday, killing 129. But chances are equally good that, like virtually everyone else, you did not do the same for the people of… Read more.
Islamic Terrorists Attack Paris … Again
Islamic terrorists perpetrated a series of coordinated attacks in Paris tonight, in a manner eerily similar to the Charlie Hebdo attacks they perpetrated in January. The sites targeted include a soccer stadium, where President Hollande was among tens of thousands watching a match between France and Germany, two popular cafes, and a concert hall. Reports… Read more.
Beware: Two-Thirds of People Under 50 Have Herpes
And it’s only a matter of time before they infect the other third…. More than 3.7 billion people under the age of 50 – or 67% of the population – are infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) [which] is also an important cause of genital herpes… [E]stimates reveal that over half a billion… Read more.
Africa Compounds Migration Shame By Refusing to Resettle Its Own
Political dysfunction, economic stagnation, and civil strife on the Dark Continent are such that Africans will continue to risk life and limb to seek a better life. For, just as no legal barrier or risk of drowning in the Caribbean Sea has stemmed the tide of Haitian migrants setting off for America, no legal barrier or… Read more.
Black Football Players Force U of Missouri President and Chancellor to Resign
Reports indicate that most Whites think these shocking resignations reflect little more than political correctness run amok. To be fair, life at the University of Missouri is taking on the spectacle of lunatics running the asylum. Hours after a wave of student and faculty protests over racial tensions led to the resignation of the president… Read more.
In Putin’s Russia Even Athletics Is a Criminal (Doping) Enterprise
Putin and his cronies used the $51-billion Sochi Olympics as an egregious kickback scheme. Nothing betrays this fact quite like Sochi already looking like a crumbling, desolate North Korean settlement just weeks after the end of the Games. (“Prokhorov, Russian Owner of NBA Nets, Exposed,” The iPINIONS Journal, March 26, 2014) I wrote the above… Read more.
Remembrance Day Sunday…
The Queen has led tributes to the UK’s war dead at the annual Remembrance Sunday service in central London. Thousands gathered at the Cenotaph memorial in Whitehall for a two-minute silence to honour those killed in World Wars One and Two and later conflicts. The monarch, Prime Minister David Cameron and the other main political… Read more.
ISIS Blows Hole in Putin’s Rank as Most Powerful Person Alive
Russian President Vladimir Putin has so cultivated the image of unrivaled strongman that Russians could be forgiven for thinking he can slay dragons with his stare. Hell, listening to Republicans swoon over his leadership, you could be forgiven for thinking they wish Putin were president of the United States. Granted, this swooning probably reflects their partisan/racial hatred… Read more.
