Although Michelle Triola Marvin had changed her last name to that of the [...]

We can all painfully recall when back in 1998 New Yorker columnist Toni Morrison obsequiously called Bill Clinton our “first black president,” can’t we? I suppose it isn’t surprising that Morrison is now supporting Barack Obama since she is all about race, of course. It should be noted Obama is a tad [...]

The Ridgefield, Connecticut boy, 12, wore the No. 4 jersey every day since receiving it as a gift for Christmas in 2003. David’s father, Chuck, said Monday that his son’s last day wearing the jersey was April 23–his 12th birthday.

The San Francisco Chronicle and the various demagogue politicians of Berkeley and Oakland, California should really be ashamed of themselves for ginning up into sensational “raids” a few arrests by ICE agents and making of them actions designed to empty those community’s schools of children.

It’s amusing how far some people will go not to give someone credit for something they have done especially if that deserving someone happens to be an ostensible political enemy.
