Affairs To Remember

The dinner party at an old friend’s house was as chic as it gets. Then a Trump insider asked, “Who is the American president who had an affair with a French president’s wife?” It was an easy one. And it’s been out there for years: The Donald has claimed he did Carla long before she got hitched to Sarkozy, but she has vehemently denied it and called him a lunatic. Perhaps this is grounds for impeachment, for endangering an ancient alliance, or something as ridiculous. Mind you, it wouldn’t sur...

Defending Dixie

Folks who are so brainwashed that they continue to think that “Mr. Lincoln is a nice man” should prepare to learn some long concealed “mind-boggling truths” and not only about our South’s Yankee enemies, including dishonest Abe, Enemy #1. Readers will also learn truths concerning many amazing Southern folks and Confederate accomplishments Southerners should PROUDLY CELEBRATE!Upon retirement at the University of South Carolina, Dr. Wilson was given the “Distinguished Professor of History” awar...

Getting Julian Assange

Julian Assange has been vindicated because the Swedish case against him was corrupt. The prosecutor, Marianne Ny, obstructed justice and should be prosecuted. Her obsession with Assange not only embarrassed her colleagues and the judiciary but exposed the Swedish state’s collusion with the United States in its crimes of war and “rendition”.

Had Assange not sought refuge in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, he would have been on his way to the kind of American torture pit Chelsea Manning had t...

Complete Panic at the Highest Level of the DNC

Last week, Fox News dropped a bombshell report officially confirming, via anonymous FBI sources, what many had suspected for quite some time, that murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich was the WikiLeaks source for leaks which proved that the DNC was intentionally undermining the campaign of Bernie Sanders. In addition to exposing the corruption of the DNC, the leaks cost Debbie Wasserman Shcultz her job as Chairwoman.

Of course, if it’s true that WikiLeaks’ emails came from a DNC insider it would en...

Not Remembering the USS Liberty?

It is safe to assume that when President Donald Trump lands in Israel Monday, he will not have been briefed on the irrefutable evidence that, nearly 50 years ago – on June 8, 1967 – Israel deliberately attacked the USS Liberty in international waters, killing 34 U.S. sailors and wounding more than 170 other crew. All of Trump’s predecessors – Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama – have refused...

Are You a Meathead?

I am an old BBQ cook, a certified BBQ Judge, and a reader of Meathead’s columns. He is the expert in ALL the many types of BBQ’s that exist and he reports not about emotion or promotion of a cooker but about it from a technical basis and you really do learn wonderful ways to do BBQ.Over my 30 some years of BBQ cooking, I have changed types and styles of cookers from plain to fancy pellet rigs and now back to the fantastic Pit Barrel Cooker using just old fashioned charcoal. There are very few...

Thank You, Mr. Trump

The 2016 presidential campaign was a certainly joy to behold.  Angry Republicans, various factions like a confused herd of cats, early signs of “symbols as language” to provide that basic clarity the party craved (Jeb!)  but would be denied except as Trump spoke it.  Thank you, Mr. Trump!

After Trump taught every Republican how a proper campaign is led and conducted (“energetically” and “raw”), his achievement of the GOP nomination gave us a glorious view to the strange confident vapidness th...

Trojan Horse in the Elysee Palace

The new French president, Emmanuel Macron, who was thrust into the French presidential race as a pro-European Union counterweight to prevent the election of National Front leader Marine Le Pen, appears to have more than a casual relationship with the United States. While he worked within the Ministry of the Economy as both a special inspector and as minister, Macron oversaw the virtual theft of strategic French industries by American firms having strong links to the U.S. Intelligence Communit...

America’s Civil War II

Civil wars are perhaps the most tragic and bitter, when a country goes to war on itself – and it’s brother against brother, homesteads destroyed by other compatriots.

Today, the United States of America seems to be at war with itself again. Not yet an all-out bloodletting as in the Civil War of 1861-65, but nevertheless the nation seems to be plunging into an internecine process of shredding itself, pulling down the very edifice of the state.

There’s even reports of married couples splitting...

The Conquest of the West by the USSR

In the literal sense, the West triumphed in the Cold War. Nevertheless, a kind of creeping sovietization has overtaken it as if in revenge. I don’t want to exaggerate or exaggerate much: We don’t yet fear the midnight knock on the door, we are still free to go where we like, and we are not obliged to spend much of our lives seeking everyday commodities of which there are perpetual shortages. On the contrary, abundance is so general that when we do not immediately find what we want, we feel a...
