“A friend of mine recently lambasted FOX News as a network “full of college dropouts”. So I decided to do a little checking. Here is their weekday schedule, with all of their regular hosts:”

Chutzpah trumps character

Data suggests that the Great Society hurt more than it helped

“Would you concede that neither of us has any statistically significant evidence to prove our respective points?”

It’s a good question. I appreciate the spirit of the query, since this reader has demonstrated an interest in more fact-based discussions of the issues than the typical liberal.

Strong bracket!

The $50 lesson

During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up.

She said she wanted to be President someday.

Both of her parents, Democratic Party members, were standing there so I asked her, “If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?”

When gold (or pretty much any other metal) comes out of the ground, it comes as ore, fused with other minerals. In other words, it’s all mixed up with useless junk. It’s imprisoned in worthlessness.

What the refiner has to do is set the gold free. And fire is what does it. It takes away the things that keep gold from being golden. It sets the gold free to sparkle and shine.”

It’s simple. Hillary didn’t want a paper trail, because she ALWAYS has something to hide.
