Category: Comment Sandbox

  • [Administrivia – am still trying to get commenters to post their topic-relevant comments under the appropriate topic. The sandbox is for stuff for which I don't have a current post. For example, commenting about the record and reputation of John Lewis and Russia's email hacks should go under 'Exactly how did the Russkies do it?'…

  • [A little more than a week until the big spectacular at the nations capitol.  Given all the ongoing fireworks surrounding Trump and the floundering Democrats, I suppose we can continue staying involved in this 'Prelude to the Afternoon of a Yawn'.  gjr]

  • [Apologies for another overdue sandbox.  Boy, they sure fill up fast.  I would personally enjoy readers' thoughts on airport massacres, the new venue of choice for terrorists and madmen to carry out mass shootings in highly crowded environments where the shooter is guaranteed by the federal government to be the only one armed (save the…

  • [Again a Happy New Year to all RR readers and its diligent band of commenters of all political shades who do their dharma battles on these pages.  This year promises to be even more exciting than 2016 – who knew that Trump would win? – if one can conceive that possibility.  Last New Year’s day…

  • [As the predictable was predicted, the world’s bad guys are having their last 'way' with our globally recognized weak and incompetent outgoing president.  Brazenly taking our submersible was just the most recent case of incoming international insults.  Few note that the Chinese didn’t even need to steal the ‘drone’, for stealing means to take something surreptitiously…

  • [Hah!  Here's fresh sand before anyone started bitching about it; perhaps a first.  So it looks like the progressive outlets are all agreed that the sky is falling since Trump got elected.  They are also sure that the Russians and Chinese are coming and the American republic (for which they have had little use) is…

  • [Let the rumpus continue!  gjr]

  • [Mea culpa for the delay.  BTW, for some time now we see a lively debate going on within these pages between RR readers and Jeff Pelline who constantly posts gratuitous, childish, and just plain ignorant attacks on all who debate and converse here.  RR provides this venue as a default in lieu of the sclerotically…
