Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
US abandons Haiti It’s not quite as desperate as the way the US abandoned Vietnam or as chaotic as the way it abandoned Afghanistan. But the way the US is abandoning Haiti is even more shameless and unconscionable. The Department of State warned in a statement of a high threat of violent crime and kidnapping throughout the [country]. It… Read more.
Lewis Hamilton passed title rival Sebastian Vettel to take a dominant victory in the United States Grand Prix but will have to wait at least one more race to win his fourth world championship. The Mercedes driver is 66 points clear of Vettel, who finished second, with only 75 still available in the remaining three… Read more.
The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said on Tuesday that the bureau would not recommend criminal charges in Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information, lifting an enormous legal cloud from her presidential campaign, hours before her first joint campaign appearance with President Obama. But Mr. Comey rebuked Mrs. Clinton as being ‘extremely careless’ in using a… Read more.
And he leaves a stain on the reputation of yet another good woman: Attorney General Loretta Lynch described her Monday meeting with Bill Clinton aboard a private plane as ‘primarily social,’ but some Democrats are struggling to stomach the optics of the attorney general’s meeting with the former president while his wife is under federal investigation… Read more.
During the mid-1990s, I was one of many worker bees at the D.C. headquarters of the Clinton-Gore Re-Election ’96 campaign. We all buzzed around trying to seem relevant to the political ambitions of the most powerful man in the world. Yet even I saw enough of the compromises and sacrifices (of self and others) Bill… Read more.
My commentaries will attest that I’m no fan of Bill and/or Hillary Clinton. And, frankly, the way they used and abused Monica Lewinsky – complete with Hillary slut-shaming her as a “narcissistic loony toon” – is the least of it. They have done far worse to far more important people. Remember Lani Guinier? But I… Read more.
I am fond of saying that I have as much love and admiration for Mandela as any non-South African could. But my record of political activism and published commentaries (dating back decades) bears this out. This is why I am so seized with contempt for those who appear to have acquired more love and admiration… Read more.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) was founded in 1985 to promote the image of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the media. On Saturday night, former President Bill Clinton was the guest of honor at its 24th Annual Media Awards in Los Angeles. He probably felt prouder receiving his GLAAD… Read more.
President Obama kicked off his re-election campaign yesterday with a fundraiser in my neck of the woods featuring none other than Bill Clinton. And why not; after all, the public rapport and repartee between these two have been such lately that one could be forgiven for thinking that Clinton had replaced Biden as Obama’s running mate.… Read more.
Ever since Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992, liberal elites have betrayed an obsessive interest in the political career of his wife, Hillary. These are the folks who treated Barack Obama like an uppity Negro for daring to challenge her ascension to the presidency in 2008, and who are now – with no hint… Read more.
