A 94-YEAR-OLD PROPHECY IS FULFILLED.

H.L.Mencken (1880 - 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic and registered Democrat. Mencken wrote this brief editorial comment while working for the Baltimore Evening Sun. It appeared in the July 26,1920 edition.

As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron.

So it was written, and so it has come to pass....

HEH: [Liberalism] "doesn't need more money. It needs more grownups."

SIXTY YEARS LATER:

U.S. IN TALKS with Qatar to restrict the 'Taliban 5' longer. They could have 'restricted' them to Guantanamo Bay....

TWEET OF THE DAY: a Californian-to-Texan translator. More properly, it should be called a 'reality world' to real world translator.

IT'S TIME to call a spade a goddam shovel spade. Baltimore, like Ferguson before it, was a riot, not a protest. And now it's time to name and shame the bullies and thugs (Rev. Al Sharpton, anyone? Anonymous? the Occupy movement?) responsible for the riots publicly and loudly.

THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE to launch in 2018. One hundred times more powerful than the Hubble Space Telescope, the JWST will observe the universe’s first galaxies, roughly 200 million years after the Big Bang.

Now for the Big Question: why do I have to read an Israeli newspaper to stay informed of real news happening in the U.S.A.?

A TWITTERBURST that shows the depth and breadth of the chasm that separates us from the progressive 'reality world' of unicorns & rainbows.

PJ Media's Dr. Helen agrees with me that unicorn droppings are harmful to your sanity.

Here's the Washington Post article for your reading edification.

ONE SMART FOOTBALL PLAYER: leaving football to enroll in flight school.

He says "my dream has always been to become a pilot," and described himself as being 25 years old "with two knee surgeries behind me and no ambition to play football at the next level."

Here's a guy with his head on straight.

FIRST THERE WAS a white Hispanic, now there are white Blacks. It shows (again) there is no reality is the progressive 'reality world'.

There never was.
