The latest big story to emanate from Washington was the Supreme Court decision regarding abortion. As predicted, the Left went crazy in demonstrations all over the country and President Biden was quick to announce that the issue would be on the November ballot. Realistically, what Biden has done in his short reign as president is to eliminate the southern border, stoke the … [Read more...]
Poison Annie’s revenge executed
TRUE OR FALSE? “The Flintstones” is a documentary. “Row versus Wade” involves a fisherman’s choices for crossing a raging stream. A homotextual is someone who drinks homogenized milk while using Twitter. If you didn’t answer false to all three, you may return to Fox News. Regular Barbwire readers know that when I make a mistake, I eat crow with lots of mustard. However, … [Read more...]
Here’s what real intolerance looks like
There is more than a bit of irony in the unfolding story of WNBA star Brittney Griner, who sits in a Russian jail after being detained for allegedly transporting hashish oil in her luggage. Don’t get me wrong. This is not a condemnation of Griner, a seven-time WNBA All-Star and two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year. She’s as much a political prisoner as anyone in the … [Read more...]
Properly Subversive: Mitt Romney has something to say
Properly Subversive/Sherman R. Frederick Former presidential candidate and now Utah Sen. Mitt Romney lives in political no-man’s land – untrusted by conservatives and liberals alike. He’s got something interesting to say, however. It’s worth a little attention. Boiled to the bone, his message takes both Republicans and Democrats to the woodshed on … [Read more...]
Let the abortion debate begin
As I watched the “breaking news” unfold live last week on Roe v Wade, I was once again dismayed to see the polarization of news coverage in America. Fox News went full bore in one direction and CNN in the other. All the initial coverage was forced into a funnel of an anti-abortion perspective for Fox and a pro-abortion perspective for CNN. So, here we sit almost a week after … [Read more...]
Is this you? Idiosyncrasies are quirky
Let me start with this three dollar word, idiosyncrasies. Might be considered $3.25. It does have fourteen letters after all. You went back and counted didn’t you? Me too. Twice. We all have some quirky things. It’s just the way we all live our lives. But. Oh yes an idiosyncrasy lined “but.” It’s how we react to the little stinkers our friends and relatives, have that teach … [Read more...]
The fall of Camelot
At your highest moment, be careful. That’s when the devil comes for you.Denzel Washington The formerly united states of America have been on a drug-induced high since 1945. We were rich, powerful and on top of the world economically, militarily and egotistically. Very addictive opiates. We didn’t know it but we peaked by 1968, the year a dollar bought more than anytime … [Read more...]
Is this you? No rust on my shovel
There is an old adage that tells us, “If you don’t use it, you’ll loose it.” That pretty much describes why there is rust. Rust comes on when something sits idle, unused and then begins the trip into nothingness. A pile of rust. Something that will eventually be blown to the four corners of the earth. Forgotten. HA! I laugh in the face, the dusty red face of rust and that slide … [Read more...]
