Mr. and Mrs. Satan

I don't pretend to know God's intentions, but let's just say some serious smiting might be in order if these two ever move into the White House: "Gavin Newsom’s Wife Has Made a Fortune Through Non-Profit That Pushes ‘Gender’ Films in California Classrooms".

Cuba is heating up

I lived in Miami for many years, and most of my friends were Cuban-Americans. I knew some who had lost everything when Castro took power, I knew one who saw her father and brothers gunned down in their front yard. When I was working there as a bank examiner, I met several bankers who had been among the unfortunate (betrayed?) freedom fighters who had been at the Bay of Pigs. An older Cuban gentleman who ran a combination grocery/cafe (where I routinely purchased cigars and Cuban coffee) had been a political prisoner; he and his wife practically adopted Mrs. Paco and me, inviting us to their home and introducing us to their children and grandchildren. The liberation of the Cuban people has long been a matter close to my heart, and I pray that I will live to see this happen.

Definitely wouldn't mind having one of these.

Obama's Folly is nearing completion

"The Reactions to Barack Obama's Latest Post About His Ugly Library Are Pure Gold".

We've written before about Barack Obama's presidential center in Chicago.
I wasn't kind with my headline, "The Obama Library Is Ugly For a Reason." Not only did it look like a Soviet-style dystopian prison, but then they added words to the outside and made things worse, as my colleague Bob Hoge observed. It's not just ugly visually; it's also ugly because Obama left such a bad and divisive legacy.

Truth to tell, even the Lubyanka doesn't look as ominous and evil as Obama's Salute To Concrete. At least that's what I think. You be the judge.



The GMC Sprint

A first cousin to the Chevrolet El Camino, the Sprint is a vehicle I was completely unacquainted with until I read this article. That big block 454 engine is fine.

Looks like something that belongs in Veeshir's collection.
