To this Blogger’s chagrin, he missed    commemorating Marlene Dietrich’s birthday. In this depressed and diminished age of hologram women, such as Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kamala Harris and Oprah, society has forgotten what power real women have, over society and men, both good and evil. The holograms make a lot of money, and yield social and political power; but does anyone think that President Xi of Communist China, or President Putin of Russia or the theocrats of Iran or the Sunni fanatics of HAMAS are afraid of them, to the point of placing a bounty on their lives? To the bad actors of the world, these modern icons exemplify the decadence, corruption and doom of modern American society. Why kill the termites when you want the house of America to cave in? During World War II, that arguably most evil of men, Adolf Hitler, placed a bounty on the lives of two women: The Queen of England, later known as the Queen Mum and Marlene Dietrich. He wanted both of them,...

The Republic’s    last great Irish America Senator was Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York; in fact, it is reasonable to say that in a world of Senators    like Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Barack Obama,    Moynihan was America’s last great Senator.  One of Moynihan’s greatest quotes was :  “ Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.”  Liberals and the Liberal media used that quote as a  cudgel against Obama opponents, who lied about his birthplace.  But that was before Liberals became mummified in self-righteousness; their usurped  righteousness empowered Liberals and Liberal icons to lie, distort, change Historical facts, in order, in their opinions,  to correct the injustices of History.   Roger Cohen    is a Liberal media icon; he currently is a contributing writer to the NEW YORK TIMES, based in Paris. During Black History month, he published a...

In April, 1945, less than a month before Hitler committed suicide in his bunker, effectively ending World War II; Lt. Bob Dole, a small-town Kansas boy was leading a patrol against the Nazis in Italy. A Nazi machine gun had pinned down his radio man, and Lt. Dole, being a member of the Greatest Generation decided to rescue the unfortunate soldier.   His reward for that courageous act was swift; his body was shredded by the very same machine gun. So shredded, the Medics, doing instant triage,    left him for dead, and moved on. When they doubled back, after saving the ones they thought could be saved, they found him still alive.   His right arm was useless; he was paralyzed and could not walk.   Dole had been assigned to the elite 10 th  Mountain Division, to replace a commanding officer who had been killed in combat. Dole never understood why.   “I thought it was mighty odd that a kid from Kansas who had seen a mountain up close only once in his l...

  11-30 is Winston Churchill's birthday.   He won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and rightfully so.   The English language has had four masters, four Jedis...men who could write psalms in English: William Tyndale( the King  James Version of the Bible is based on his translation), William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill. They could match King David in psalm writing.   He was a great warrior, and an apex racist. He had no qualms or guilt or reservations about killing brown people in India, or black people up the Nile, or white, non Anglo-Saxons , in South Africa.   He was witty and pithy.   “ It is impossible to obtain a conviction for sodomy from an English jury. Half of them don’t believe that it can physically be done, and the other half are doing it. ”   “ " I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly. "   “Lady Astor said to Churchill, “ If you were my husband, I’d poison yo...
