by Irving Tremellius The Wall Street Journal is not a conservative voice. Nor is it an “objective voice of reason.” Sure, compared to the New York Times, Pravda could be considered more restrained. But if you are looking for sane presuppositions, moral integrity, fidelity to American Christian traditions and positions, look elsewhere. Not that you’ll … [Read more…]
It says in the paper… Why am I CERTAIN there is no human possibility that the moral destruction of America will be meaningfully abated? How about this?— The nation that embodies consumerism in its most active and toxic, most virile and viral forms, had repeated opporunities to express disapproval– with no cost or loss to … [Read more…]
by Irving Tremellius It says in the paper today that the Feds have successfully forced Walmart to agree to pay them $282 million in order to settle charges. What charges? The Feds say Walmart, in order to carry on business, paid bribes in several countries (including China, Brazil, India and Mexico) The deal caps negotiations … [Read more…]
by Irving Tremellius It says in the paper today that gender reveal parties have become the rule for many expectant Americans, and the gimmicks used to make the gender known are becoming more elaborate and expensive. The problem with this trend, of course, is how it flies in the face of the latest set of … [Read more…]
Over the past weekend, an unpublicized meeting of top leaders of the Democratic National Committee, along with more than a dozen long-term democratic officeholders from the House and Senate, met at a hotel in Eastern Oregon to discuss what they feared might be a “long term disenfranchisement from power” their party will suffer, “if we … [Read more…]
The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday’s front page reported on the “brutally cold temperatures” middle America would have to endure for a few more days. The explanation? The “shift of a frigid air mass.” Why, I wondered aloud, were they careful to call it a “temporary shift.” Isn’t ALL weather “temporary”? Of course. But the … [Read more…]
And they are furiously slashing at any red (for GOP) in reach. The New York Times ran a slasher piece by Trip Gabriel on January 10th that puts on plain display its Pravda-like qualities. Journalistic ethics—hey, even bland, humane values like honesty, charity, integrity—are buried so far out of view, they’re not likely be seen … [Read more…]
Two articles in the Wall Street Journal (November 17-18, 2018) should cause considerable concern in people who assess the cost/benefit relationship of technology—that is, if they do so with full allowance for what the Bible and all human history say about man’s propensities. Together, these articles might hold insight into important questions, such as, what … [Read more…]
So a federal clown judge ruled that the White House must reinstate Jim the Accoster (the def is perfect–look it up!) of CNN to his former status as self-obsessed, self-aggrandizing moron with a press pass, a worm of a man who hasn’t a clue that reporting is actually a different activity from just being rude, … [Read more…]
WSJ runs a two-page story (11/4/18, pages C1 and C2) about America’s growing generational divide. It focuses on this: In 2019, for the first time, “Americans under 18 will be outnumbered by those over 60,” and by 2035 the young’uns will be outnumbered by those over 65. Isn’t it odd that America’s leading paper could … [Read more…]
Think the Wall Street Journal is a friend of Trump? Or truth? Think again. They are every bit as Fake News as the rest of MSM. Ann Coulter spent an entire chapter in her latest book, “Resistance Is Futile,” chronicling the media-created fable that Donald Trump “confessed” to personally sexually assaulting women in the instantly … [Read more…]
What do I mean by White Rabbit Age? I mean what Grace Slick meant when she sang about a place/time where “logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead.” That’s as apt a description of the gliberal mind–and its newspapers–as might be offered. Put another way, it is the mind behind the modern American newspaper: sloppy … [Read more…]
I need help because I don’t understand. Day after day I see, in my hands & before my eyes, stories in the newspapers which claim that Russia and Russians purchased advertising on American platforms directed at American voters to “influence” the 2016 election. The following is a quote from the lead paragraph of a story … [Read more…]
A hoodlum, punk, criminal–a darling citizen who had punched a cop in the face, sold drugs near a school, in & out of prison for 15 years, most recently an eight year-stint for robbery, on parole since 2013. A beloved community policewoman, a black woman who spoke fluent Spanish, took care of her mother, raised … [Read more…]
A fine instance of the outsized arrogance of the New York Times. From whence did they derive the right to characterize the transition from Miss/Mrs. to Ms. as a manumission from BONDAGE? Did they conduct a scientific survey of the English-speaking world–or even of the USA–in which women were ASKED to characterize this religio-political usurpation … [Read more…]
Time Magazine, covering the June 14 attack on Republican members of Congress and their aids (6/26/17, p.12), manages to make the event a proof of the goodness of Democrats while blaming the event on Republicans. The shooter, James Hodgkinson, wounded five. He was a political activist and had been a volunteer for Bernie Sanders. Rather … [Read more…]
The post immediately preceding this on our page has been uh-huhed (??) and winked at by an out-of-towner (pardon my intemperate language) who cast suspicion on its veracity. Is that “uh-huh-er” a reliable witness? Consider: though once a Schlissel–and a Brooklynite–she has become, to her Italian mother’s inconsolable grief, neither. That’s right. She now goes … [Read more…]
The Wall Street Journal is NOT your friend. Sure, it lags behind the NYTimes in consistency, in vociferous and festering hatred of God and all things right and holy, but against the iterations of atheistic socialism that have nested on the front lines of the religious war (called culture wars by the unlearned), they are … [Read more…]
Before it was considered shocking to praise America in a classroom, a junior high teacher of mine told us: one difference between American law and that of the Classical pagans is that we actually believe some actions to be WRONG, whereas some ancients located blameworthiness in having been CAUGHT. I’m pretty sure that, whatever he … [Read more…]
The NYT has a story today about the “deeply divided [Supreme] Court” which will be getting another opportunity to whittle down the number of slaughters notched on their 1973 belt. (It was January 22 of that year when they announced an open hunting season on unborn babies, bidding Americans to kill as many as they’d … [Read more…]
The Schlissel Retort: 10.03.13 Keeping up with The Times. An Egalitarian Hat-trick + Exemplary Erudition from Harvard While we await the appearance of a news periodical determined to report news, we’ll settle for catharsis via semi-occasional comments on “all the views the misfits print.”[1] 1. It seems to me that an American newspaper ought to … [Read more…]
