By quinersdiner | November 15, 2016

The meme above frequently pops up in Facebook posts by Obama loyalists.

Produced by a Facebook page called ‘Occupy Democrats,’ it attempts to make the case that the Obama presidency was a godsend to this country. The data suggests otherwise…

Great video on raising happy kids by Dr. John Rosemond

By quinersdiner | November 14, 2016

By Tom Quiner Parents have rights. This was the mantra of child psychiatrist, John Rosemond. Dr. Rosemond was the child-rearing guru whom my wife and I leaned on while raising our kids. Even though he lived in South Carolina, he had a weekly column in our newspaper back then. I was on a committee at my church that brought him out to speak sometime in the 80s. He packed the…

“Those who come to this space know why I think what happened, happened. The unprotected people of America, who have to live with Washington’s policies, rebelled against the protected, who make and defend those policies and who care little if at all about the unprotected. That broke bonds of loyalty and allegiance. Tuesday was in effect an uprising of the unprotected. It was part of the push-back against detached elites that is sweeping the West and was seen most recently in the Brexit vote.”
