Trump Isn't The Only Anti-Semite In The GOP-- Missouri Republicans Embrace Them Too
*Not a Halloween costume-- this is Missouri Republican candidate Steve West* Last August we warned Missouri readers about a Trumpist candidate in Kansas City, Steve West, a Missouri Nazi who the Republican Party has nominated for the General Assembly. "West," we wrote at the time, "is a hate-talk radio host, so it's not like Republicans didn't know what he was all about before they voted for him in Tuesday's 4-way GOP primary. District 15 is a pretty blue Kansas City (Gladstone) district and the incumbent is Jon Carpenter. He was renominated-- without opposition-- with 3,757 votes. T... more »
"All Is Not Lost..."; "What A Chimera..."
"If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost; you can still call him vile names." - Elbert Hubbard "What a chimera then is man! What a novelty, what a monster, what a chaos, what a contradiction, what a prodigy!

So it is not a very sad thing to be broken, after all! It's during the times of being broken, that you have all t... more »
Recent GCN Interview
As a reprieve from the sickening, so-vile Savile saga, last weekend I did an hour-long interview with American-Canadian dual citizen Mike Filip who hosts a Genesis Communications Network radio show called Americanuck (GCN's main claim to fame is Alex Jones). I talk a little about my family past along with West Point, US military, geopolitics and only at the end do I touch on pedophilia, so it really was a reprieve from the last year and a half of daily digging in the pedo-trenches documenting the A-Z sourcebook on modern pedophilia. Incessant commercials chop up the dialogue so I re... more »
"A Look to the Heavens"
“The dust sculptures of the Eagle Nebula are evaporating. As powerful starlight whittles away these cool cosmic mountains, the statuesque pillars that remain might be imagined as mythical beasts. Pictured above is one of several striking dust pillars of the Eagle Nebula that might be described as a gigantic alien fairy. This fairy, however, is ten light years tall and spews radiation much hotter than common fire. * Click image for larger size.* The greater Eagle Nebula, M16, is actually a giant evaporating shell of gas and dust inside of which is a growing cavity filled with a spec... more »
