As we look at what is happening to the Republican Party, it may seem difficult to believe that it was originally formed as a reform party. In the 1850s political landscape, the major parties – the Whigs and the Democrats – struggled for dominance, and neither party was above anti-democratic...
Anti-Semitism? Bah! Humbug! Do you know, dear reader, that there are two kinds of Jews? They are the Sephardim, the western European Jews, and the Ashkenazim, the eastern European, Yiddish-speaking Jews. None of them, however, is ethnically Semitic; none of them sprang from the seed of Father Abraham, their belief...
First of all, The Chas is against war of any sort. If a dispute arises between people or nations, a peaceful discussion of the issues involved and a negotiated settlement is called for. Sadly, however, too many people/nations either have no desire to negotiate or will negotiate only if concessions...
From the vault — various dates (revised): Ever since we hairless apes swung down from the trees and began walking upright, we have tossed our garbage aside wherever it was convenient (and healthy) to do so. As the ages passed and our numbers increased, we tossed aside even greater amounts...
Continuing the further adventures of PFC (Private First Class) Chas (as promised): Having survived boot camp and the Third Herd, I was still at the mercy of Uncle Sam. I was obliged to serve one year of active reserve duty and one year of inactive reserve duty. Good soldier that...
September 24, 2023Dear editor; This Reader’s Voice is to commend the commitment of Charles Coddington and Wayne E. Johnson to exposing the prolific, often unnoticed transgressions of “T. rump” and “Donny Dum Dum” as described in The Voice. Being adept at seeing beyond the carefully-scripted, false persona concealing a self-aggrandizing,...
The Chas must confess that he has not been very observant where chimneys are concerned. Contrary to what he wrote in his previous essay, there are chimneys facing the street; moreover, there are chimneys in the front of some houses. Sorry for the confusion. Speaking of confusion, our resident UFO...
Musings: Where is your chimney located, dear reader? Is it an external or an internal chimney? I ask because I recently have become fascinated by chimneys. An external chimney is a structure attached to the main body of the house, whereas an internal chimney is a pipe which runs from...
There has been a rash of UFO (Unidentified Flying Objects) sightings of late. In the 1950s, such a rash was called a “flap.” These days, it’s been a “flap-and-a-half” because a good deal of humankind the world over has gotten on the bandwagon. Even the usual explanations given by government...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Those with integrity and important things to say don’t waste words or time playing “cutesy.” They don’t try distracting you, the reader, with musings. Serious writers get busy giving you information you need. The evidence I’ve been bringing you in this publication, concerning the Bidens, has...
Musings: UFOs (unidentified flying object) over Las Vegas? What’s going on here? Do the ETs want to try their luck? And why would they? If they can travel through the Galaxy at “warp speed,” they really don’t need “luck,” do they? They are smart enough to have invented a gizmo...
China, Part 2: China has been shipping the ingredients needed to manufacture fentanyl to Mexico, where the drug is then manufactured and distributed. There is a fentanyl epidemic in the United States. One could imagine that, by getting Americans hooked on this drug, the U.S. would not have the time...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda It’s easy to falsify, pervert, then obscure the truth about events when columnists in The Voice don’t bother including academic rigor in what they write. Opinion-writers such as Charles Coddington work well in the “mediums” of distortion and confusion. The Chas is a wizard at misinformation...
Musings: Many so-called “Christians” have a strange idea of what Christianity is all about. They cherry-pick verses in their bibles and often take them out of context in order to back up these strange ideas. Some “Christians” don’t have bibles at all, and so they depend on others for their...
Ni Hao. That is Mandarin Chinese for hello. Mandarin is the official language of the People’s Republic of China. If the present trend in China’s behavior continues, it may well replace English as the lingua franca of Planet Earth. Imperial China always referred to itself as the “Middle Kingdom,” around...
Musings. No tribe ever gives up territory unwillingly. At the very least, there is a quid pro quo, e.g. a monetary payment or a trade agreement. If no quid pro quo is reached, there is war, the chief activity of humankind since it climbed down from the trees and walked...
Of all of the aspects of American society which have not successfully made a transition into the 21st Century, education tops the list. It continues to be bogged down by a 19-Century structure, and any progressive changes move at a snail’s pace. Our schools are in a state of decay...
“Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.” – George Santayana. “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” – Lord Acton. “With great power comes great responsibility” – Spider-Man. Republican Party politicians would be wise to heed the above observations. But, they won’t, of course,...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda How many of you reading this article would want to be in a position to defend the insane ideas boys can be girls, girls can be boys, and men can become pregnant? I certainly wouldn’t! Or, would it be easier for you to accept and defend...
Hoorah! The ineluctable Bela Suhuyda finally has gotten around to castigating me. I had been worried sick that he would not stoop to put me in my place, even as he castigated my colleague, Wayne Johnson, up one side and down the other. I didn’t know whether to be joyful...
