The Daily Gouge

It’s Wednesday, March 20th, 2019, the first day of spring and the vernal equinox…but before we begin, here’s a rather intriguing forward from George Lawlor we thought deserving of analysis and comment: Deaths of Ferguson activists lead some to believe something sinister is at play   “The sometimes-violent deaths of a half-dozen men linked to the […]

It’s Monday, March 18th, 2019…but before we begin, consider this photo taken at Union Station early Friday morning by our youngest son Travis: A woman had evidently become lost, so lost she ended up on the tracks, despite there being no roadways remotely close to her final destination.  (We asked Travis whether it might have […]

It’s Friday, the Ides of March 2019…and in honor of the Romans, whose Republic lasted some 500 years, and their Empire almost 1,500 longer, we catalogue signs of the imminent decline and fall of Western Civilization, as evidenced by the views of these hopelessly naive innocents…  …and the rise of one of the most […]

It’s Wednesday, March 13th, 2019…but before we begin, writing at Townhall.com, Beth Baumann termed this quote from AOC “delusional”: “We should not be haunted by the specter of being automated out of work,” she said, The Verge reported. “We should be excited by that. But the reason we’re not excited by it is because we live in a society […]

It’s Monday, March 11th, 2019…but before we begin, in honor of the great Thomas Sowell, we offer a couple random thoughts on the passing scene.  Thought #1 was occasioned by the following headline: Texas mom, 28, abandoned 5 kids to take trip to Myrtle Beach, SC   It occurred to us, if these children have […]

It’s Friday, March 8th, 2019…but before we begin, as this video forwarded by Ed Harvey confirms, anti-Christian bigotry is alive and well in America:  Any question had the teacher required a Muslim student to remove her hijab she’d be looking for alternative employment?!? In a related item, as Victor Garcia reports at FOX News… […]

It’s Wednesday, March 6th, 2019…but before we begin, the 2020 race for the White House has just been tossed into turmoil: Holder announces he won’t run for president in 2020    Wow, what’s next: Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis, Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein all pulling out of the race simultaneously?!? As Meghan “Broken Clock” […]

It’s Monday, March 4th, 2019…but before we begin, pulling together material for today’s edition, we were struck by another Obama-era incongruity. Osama bin Laden’s body was buried at sea within 24 hours of his death in strict compliance with Islamic law, with John “I’ve lost count of how many times I lied to Congress” Brennan going […]

It’s Friday, March 1st, 2019…but before kicking off the first edition of the month, we present two videos that tell you all you need to know about what will likely prove Michael Cohen’s swan song.  First, Jim Jordan sets the table for the charade to come…  By the way, that’s Lanny Davis sitting behind […]

It’s Monday, February 25th, 2019…and we while we originally intended to lead off this edition with Matt Vespa’s coverage at Townhall.com of a LGBT magazine’s claim it’s ‘racist’ for Trump to demand Iran stop executing homosexuals… “…What a time to be alive.
