Observations - March 2021

John Batchelor …

John Batchelor's highly informative show is no longer on WABC.  LPR will advise its clicksters, soon as it knows, where John will next be located on the radio dial.  

Constitutional question for Senator McConnell …

Here is a constitutional question for Senator McConnell:  When will you inform Mr. Schumer that as Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution establishes the District of Columbia as "the Seat of the Government of the United States...," the status of the District cannot be changed to a state without an Amendment to the Constitution?  A vote to make the District a state by simple majorities of the House and Senate would be meaningless under the Constitution. 

Our Changing Weather, a Phenomenon of Nature, a/k/a the Almighty …

Early in March, New York City basked in sun-splashed weather with temperature in the 60's.  March 15 (the Ides, thereof) the sun continued to shine brightly over New York City but the temperature was 30 degrees cooler, or more.   Perhaps some people would attribute this to "climate change." LPR attributes this to change in the weather, a natural -- not a human-caused  -- phenomenon.
LPR has a hunch that scratch a person who claims "climate change" is caused by humanity, and you will find an atheist underneath.

Matt Taibbi on Our Sovietized Press …

Matt Taibbi has noted at substack.com., this month, that the American press has become sovietized -- that is to say, the U.S. press is now a one-party mouthpiece.  LPR cannot say that Taibbi got this notion from LPR, but let the record show that LPR started calling The New York Times, some months ago, The New York Pravda.

If Britain no longer had a Royal Family …

… would Peggy Noonan, at The Wall Street Journal,  have to invent one for England, to serve as diversion from time to time?

(Please see Ms. Noonan's WSJ column, March 13/14.)

 

March 5, 2021 --

Ted Cruz Sounding Like a Character Out of a Capra Movie -- on Citizen Trump …

(Quoted at Hannity.com)

“The Republican Party is not the party of the country clubs, it’s the party of steel workers and construction workers and taxi drivers and cops and firefighters and waitresses,” he added. “That is our party, these deplorables are here to stay!”

Jim Jordan for House Speaker …

Rep. Jim Jordan's remarks at the CPAC gathering were terrific. LPR wholeheartedly agrees with his call to respond to every attack from the radical left. As President Lincoln said of Gen. Grant, "he fights." And who can disagree with Rep. Jordan's indication that where one side talks all it wants, but not the other side -- there is no free speech.   

A February 36 Breitbart headline …

TIM RYAN: CAPITOL PROSECUTORS ‘REVIEWING’ FOOTAGE OF TOURS BEFORE RIOT

Can't understand what a French city has to do with January 6

What is this recent Washington Times headline all about? 

"Democrats ask Biden to cede authority on nuclear launches"

And why are Democrats concerned about the president's finger on the button?
