Claims of America being a racist nation that was founded by racists who owned slaves, etc., are not necessarily uncommon. While a part of that narrative is true, some of our Constitution’s signers were slave owners, telling that part is only telling one half of the story. If we’re going to cite the fact that some of our founders were slave-owners its only fair to tell the other half of the slavery story too.  We had a little thing here called the Civil War. Here’s a simple backdrop: Before becoming the USA we were colonies of a nation ruled by a king. This king wasRead More →

Little in life is more amusing than people who believe themselves issuing an insult when in fact they’re doing the exact opposite. As a black conservative examples of such ignorant lunacy populate our inboxes on a regular basis but a few weeks ago I received an email which must be exploited.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this… The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing The fifth would pay $1 The sixth would pay $3 The seventh would pay $7 The eighth would pay $12 The ninth would pay $18 The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59 So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, theRead More →

Do you know a thing about orca penises? Do you care? The same questions could have been asked in 2010 about duck penises. No doubt the answers would’ve been the same. We might care if we had a little more knowledge about how much of our tax dollars are being spent to ‘study’ them. Patricia Brennan is hailed by some as a leading researcher. The woman is obsessed with marine animal genitalia. While a bit odd (to say the least) it’s also mostly harmless until taking into account the fact she’s funding her …quirky… obsession by blowing through taxpayer money.
