    Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous. Quran 9:123 George Rebane Republican candidate Dr Ben Carson set off the most recent political dust-devil predictable with his response to whether he would support a Muslim becoming President of the United States.  However,…

    Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.  Oscar Ameringer George Rebane ‘Black Lives Matter – but Reality, Not So Much’.  National columnist and keen observer of the social scene Jason Riley agrees with RR’s long-held position on…

  • Sandbox – 5sep15

    [There is load of bad news coming down the pike on Obamacare in 2016.  Most widely read people know the travesty that new entitlement has been, and the worst is yet to come.  Our progressive readers have excused their happy dancing in the streets about Obamacare while citing how bad our healthcare system is in the…
