Help me here as I play with an idea I had about poverty in America

The idea I’m working my way into is that America’s poor do not suffer from a lack of material wealth; they suffer badly from a lack of spiritual and moral wealth, combined with situations dangerous enough to qualify for the worst slums in South Africa. Imagine how different hings would be if one could introduce into America’s worst communities a culture of traditional morality, rather than a culture of Black Lives Matter?

Veteran finally lets himself remember Pearl Harbor | News & Features | ArcaMax Publishing

When it came to the attack itself, though, there was not a word. McGrath would ask around the subject and Bruner wouldn’t bite.

Then one day Bruner was talking, and McGrath noticed he’d started to cry.

The older man started with three words: “It was bad,” he said.

McGrath listened intently through Bruner’s tears. The story was worse than he’d imagined.

Bookworm Beat 12/6/16 — the “there’s nothing usual about politics” edition

And for the people in the media who don’t understand the Constitution (that would be almost everyone), let me explain: As long as Trump doesn’t pass laws shutting down the media, or engage in acts that deprive reporters of their civil rights, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with him treating the American media with the contempt it deserves.

Don’t Say I’m Violent, Or I’ll Kill You :: SteynOnline

Yes, it’s very unfortunate that people feel uncomfortable when they see a Muslim praying …because of all these unfair media stereotypes about violent, dangerous Muslims. So, three months after being lovingly profiled in the college newspaper as the antidote to all those misleading stereotypes, young Abdul went full Allahu Akbar on his fellow students.

The unintentionally funny anguish of a distraught feminist Hillary voter

It was clearly unintended when a young feminist’s anguished existential howl about Hillary’s loss reduced me to helpless laughter.

I found that feminist’s problem: Ivy League.

“I have always been both a strong woman and a good girl. I got straight A’s. I was class president. I went to an Ivy League school and even gave the commencement address, just like Hillary.”

OSU Student Leaks Unbelievable Thing Military Classmates Did During Attack

Ali is a legal permanent U.S. resident who fled Somalia and entered the country as an approved asylum seeker. Somalia is ranked as one of the world’s most dangerous countries, coming in just after Syria, South Sudan, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The Sharia nation also boasts a 99.8-percent Muslim population, which accounts for the country’s many deadly terrorist attacks, political oppression, and barbaric religious practices.

Emphasis added. This is Obama’s fault.

Progressives have mounted a dangerous attack on American democracy

The EC was intended to serve two purposes: (1) To remove mobs from directly electing the president (and we can see with Progressives how out of control and damn stupid mobs can be); and (2) to ensure that more populous states do not entirely remove the less populous states from the election process.
