Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.

No doubt Russia needed to retaliate after ISIS blew up a Russian plane, killing 224. No doubt France needed to do the same after ISIS terrorized Paris, killing 129. The problem is that both Russia and France have retaliated in a manner that will do nothing to stop ISIS from launching similar attacks … or war-stricken… Read more.
Mixed Martial Arts fighting (MMA) is arguably even more barbaric than cockfighting or dogfighting – as Michael Vick might contend. Therefore, only the animalistic part of my nature explains why I am such a big fan. (At least Boxing purports to be “the sweet science of bruising.”) Because of its barbarity, some might find it ironic that… Read more.

Islamic terrorists perpetrated a series of coordinated attacks in Paris tonight, in a manner eerily similar to the Charlie Hebdo attacks they perpetrated in January.

Reports indicate that most Whites think these shocking resignations reflect little more than political correctness run amok. To be fair, life at the University of Missouri is taking on the spectacle of lunatics running the asylum. Hours after a wave of student and faculty protests over racial tensions led to the resignation of the president… Read more.
